It was meant in a light hearted way but funny how Catts is left out of a lot of teams. BTW, if my first team is the team that may be a long piece of rope
 
Pills may be better, I hate any sort of pain.

Nah, pills are the worst. It takes about three days, with all of your organs shutting down one at a time. Not nice. Long rope hanging's the way to go, as long as it's long enough to break your neck.

Kids, just say NO to suicide!

Catts has had a tough time over the two seasons he has been with us. He has only been fit for a third of each season, which isnt good enough. Most games he is described as "good without the ball, but poor with it". Hopefully with the emergence of Colback it will motivate him to come back stronger but due to his injuries we certainly have not seen the best of him. I cant see him getting in our starting 11 at the minute, especially if Colback has another stormer against West Ham but a bit of competition is healthy for the club.

<ok> A very good assessment of the current situation regarding Catts. I think most of us would rather see Colback in the middle ATM, because he has earned the right to be there with some excellent performances in recent weeks. What I do fear is that SB has him back on the bench the minute Catts is fit again purely because Catts is the Captain. That will be criminal if SB does do it, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
 
Anyone who has sess in the middle of a 4 man midfield is nuts.

One of my worries would be lack of height at the back - neither Bramble or Evans are that tall, are they?
 
Ideally (realistic) though.

4-4-2.
