At last: The Jeff is handed his new number

Following the news that Jeff ‘The Jeff’ Reine-Adelaide had been promoted to the first team squad, people have been wondering what number he would wear.

It has been the topic of discussions in pubs, bars, taverns, speakeasies, gin-joints, watering-holes, taphouses, hostelries and cantinas up and down the land. Bookies were running numbers on this like it was the World Series, and families have been torn apart by in-fighting as they had it out over the dinner the table.

Last season he Jeffed his way into the first team wearing 54, but this season he is 23 fewer and will sport the number 31 shirt.

Obviously if you reverse that you get 13 which is an unlucky number for some people, not least Arthur Cowtube (34), who was hit by a falling number 13 from a timepiece made by an overenthusiastic clock-maker.

31 isn’t a great number though. I mean, it’s fine and all, but does it really do justice to the majesty and potential of The Jeff?

We were thinking he could Pi or 7000, but there probably Premier League rules against that.

Anyway, for now it’s The Jeff 31, or 31 The Jeff. True fact: if you send a postcard to The Jeff 31 London, it will get to him.

But, do you have opinions about things? That might help.

It’s like a new signing.

When my phone lights with an arseblog news update, a bit of wee comes out because I think we are getting some transfer news. Stop torturing us blogs!!!!!!

ClockEndRider

Thought he was in the 20’s as that’s the no he was wearing in the training snaps.
Arsene trying to keep everyone off guard as that no. Is reserved for our superstar centre forward/half signing.

Oh.

Greg

Arshavin should have had Pi as his shirt number, as he ate them all.

sounak

Owned!

badaab

Pi is in fact, the number of both Andre Santos and Hatem Ben Arfa.

Merlin's Panini

I wonder if there’s something in the name Andre and it’s variations that correlates with liking pies.

Granit(e) hard!

In these days where all you can read about Arsenal is all “doom and gloom”, grateful to read one that “lightens my heart and brings a smile to my face” …….bet you this young man will do things on the pitch this season, that will make us all smile.
Welcome the JEFF!

leroy

TJRA31. surely he’s aiming for 31 goals this season. maybe 54 was a bit too optimistic.

Greg

At least we now know what dick law has been doing these last few months. Sounds a tough negotiation for the arsenal ball breaker

Trez

Hopefully we’ll see more of him this season. Huge talent this guy. Alot to prove though.

Chippie

Can he play centre back and striker at the same time? #bringbackchriswhyteno10ffs

Artem

Ok, as a non-native speaker, I gotta ask, what is the deal with THE JEFF? Is that a reference to a movie or something?
Cheers!

My name is Jeff

I had a couple of great pre-season games last year and was crowned “The Jeff” as a result.

Indiegooner

Jeff also once wrote Eyepokius Thundercunter in toothpaste on Jose Mourinho’s car. I can’t find the Daily Mail story but believe me it happened.

OneBeatOff

God I hope there is some truth to that!

David C

“Gin-joint!” Haha, I’ve never heard that one before 🙂

FITJAMGOONER

IndieGooner. Too funny!!!

Petit's Handbag

MR VENGA PLS SIGN NW PLAYER STRIKER NOW! IF YOU RD THIS I WANT HIGUAIN R MESSI NOW! We no lonGer want Gerude

Petit's Handbag

Glad Jeff’s part of the squad though, hope he gets his chance to shine in the League Cup and maybe the Champions League if we can ensure qualification early.

OneBeatOff

Remember all the HAHAHAHAs, HEHEHEHEs and lest we forget the LOLOLOLOLs because Sp*rs are shit??? We finished second so we are in. We don’t have to qualify …

Bornisthekingofhighbury

He means for the knockout stage.

WastefulDefender

I am more excited about THE JEFF than any other player at the moment, and that makes me want to weep.

Frank Bascombe

Slightly off topic, anyone know what’s occurred with ‘One Nil Down’? Used to be a decent blog, gone all click bait. Just wondered…

Ray Parlour's Ice cream van

1+3=4
4=Viera
Viera = gifted french midfielder
Viera = sucess

Clutching at straws!

bob

This is the high quality stuff I come to the site for.

MS

The Gnabry is playing well in Rio…. he could be like a new signing?

Glocken

I thought he would take the vacant number one shirt seeing as he’s the best player at the club 🙂

Phil

Its because he got a 31cm cock and will score 20 goals with it. Just like a pool cue.

Neuni

Who cares about the number?

Mr.Wood

We all do. Next question….

260589

31 = ROUND(10*PI(),0))

Griezmann is coming

He always impresses and I’m happy he’s part of the first team squad. What’s his main position though?
