Here and now is your opportunity to wipe the slate clean. Remove everything that can be considered to be garbage and start this board all over again and re-write the rules so that this never happens in the future.

People do post, BlackStarr. Part of the problem is that there isn't a problem! What is there to debate? Only who's going to replace Danny Simpson for one game at right back, and even then we can't tell because nobody's seen or can judge how Amartey's coming along. Foxestalk is similarly quiet, for instance.

Granted many aren't fond of the arro circus. However, are we to ban or turn the cold shoulder on posters just because we're not keen on the way they express themselves? I don't think people want to do that either. I can see it annoys you particularly - or at least the results of it do - and don't think I'm entirely unsympathetic. But neither do I entirely agree.

Personally, I wish arro hadn't gone and provoked the Baggies today, but there we have it. I'm neither his keeper nor his parent. Both Britain and Australia are free countries, so let Admin deal with it if there's a case to answer.

Excellent post DM

And harking back to a time when I posted alot more than I do now is quite revealing. It answers the question of why you can't resist having a dig at me constantly - you hated the fact I created so many articles on here which is where your pettyness all began.

Interested to discover that arro thinks Baggies give a fack about him.

We don't.

Feckin idiot.

However, Lesta...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think Baggies fans care about me at all, I just think you're shiitt and I don't like you say I say what I think! I spoke the truth and made one comment so get over it!

At the end of the day you all blame me but how I post now is a direct result of the abuse I was given so blame the cause not the result.

I don't like Spurs and I think their fans are arrogant and their team overated.

I don't like WBA because I think their fans are arrogant and deluded and their team is shiitt!!

I say everything I say about them because they have driven me to it! They had their fun winding me up and jumping on the mock Arro bandwagon so each and every one of them can get fooked!!

Everyone seems to think they can say what they want to me and I'm just going to bend over and take it, well fook that, not today, not tomorrow, not anyday will I tolerate the abuse I got and continue to get. I'm nobody's mug, you want to have a pop at me, don't expect no shrinking violet!!

So, who will play RB on Saturday?

I think Amarty might get his début considering we let De Laet go as he signed.

Wasi if you second chances with CR.

Ranieri said he's ready so I think that's a good indication. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play. The lads a beast.

I'd like to see Amartey but I'd be happy with Wasilewski. I can't see us keeping a clean sheet with Amartey in simply because of unfamiliarity. Wasilewski's the safe option. However, Amartey /could/ be better than Simpson.

All in all, I'm happy to simply sit back and trust Ranieri's judgement on this one.

no chance of the forgotten 3-5-2 then?

Good call, just the game to bring it back for.

It wouldn't be the same without Jeffrey.

Seriously though, our recent defensive record argues strongly for making as few changes at that end of the pitch as possible.

Incidentally, a note about the 3-5-2:

It's generally accepted (and I agree too) that Marc Albrighton should have played a lot more and a lot earlier last season than he did. Maybe there were reasons for that, but it looks like a mistake. However, when he did come in, he was entirely fresh and ready for the challenge that being on the right hand side of a 3-5-2 brought. Schlupp also hadn't played a whole season and was also fit enough to cope with it - although he tailed off a bit toward the end and became increasingly defensive.

This season those players aren't necessarily going to be as effective - and indeed Schlupp isn't fit. I'm not convinced that the role suits Fuchs as well as straight full back, and he too has played much of the season solidly.

I don't believe that this is the time for 3-5-2.

fair point. Also CR made no hint of reverting back to 3-5-2 at the start when we were conceding a lot of goals. He stuck at 4-4-2 but changed the FB's which paid off so its unlikely we'll do anything other than go 4 at the back

Nah 4-4-2 is or 1-1 is working a treat now and fortunately it's only Norwich so a good game for Amartey to get settled in.

I'm sure he's had a lot of prep for this game and well there is no better game to blood him in than this.

Arro I'm currently listening to a Big Interview with Graham Hunter where he is interviewing Michael Carrick.

You should have a listen to it, very interesting points on team spirit and the spirit the CL winning united side had that Carrick played for.

Might open your eyes up a bit

It's also an excellent interview.

I remember a few weeks back CR said Amartey won't be ready till Norwich......Then Simpson gets sent off at Arsenal and gets a ban

conspiracy?

Unless you believe that Amartey can fire telepathic darts at his teammates, no.

I'm not in disagreement that other teams have a good team spirit but when a manager points at your team spirit as your biggest strength, and other ex players label it special and unique, Alan Smith said special and Matt Elliot said unique, then it kind of indicates that it's something over and above the norm. We keep coming back from behind and we're really hard to beat and it's because they work so hard for each other.

It wasn't United's team spirit that won them the CL, it was their team full of quality players. You see this is the link that you keep missing. Good teams who are winning trophies, will have a good team spirit. Standard, nothing surprising, nothing special.

I refer again to Chelsea last season, no doubt you would include them too but it's fake and thats what you get at most clubs. Team spirits built on success are fake because when things get tough the arguments start. I'm just intelligent enough to see the difference and you can't.

Actually pathetic

You make valid points but I disagree that you can discount a big club like uniteds team spirit just because they have quality players, the very best sides have the mix of quality players and team spirit, there's a reason these players become the very best, they not only have the ability but they know what it takes to make a successful team.

Look at Messi Suarez and Neymar for example.

I don't disagree that LCFC have great team spirit but I do disagree that it's something rarely seen in football. I've seen it plenty of times in teams down the years, personal example would be the ROI side that went to WC in 2002, in that qualifying group we knocked out LVGs Holland beating them at home and drawing away, that side had top top team spirit, was much better than the sum of it's parts and not only qualified for the WC but made an excellent account of ourselves.

Like I said you do raise valid points but I can find comments by players from all over the world saying similar things like the LCFC players say about your club.

I also think coming from behind in league games or being very hard to beat can't really be compared to the biggest games like united v Juve in 99. There is far more pressure in a game like that than a regular league game, what LCFC have to compare is the relegation fight last season and then depending on how the rest of this season goes.
