Seasons like this don't come around very often. I would feel sad for any fan of a club in a promotion battle who wasn't enjoying the ride. If we fail, then we fail but we may also finally succeed. I understand keeping a sense of realism and a feet on the ground philosophy but pessimism is odd...

We've not played to keep it tight all season? Zero reason why we would start now. The amount of goals that we've scored are testament to that. The open nature of our play is why we've had the odd game of conceding 3 or 4. I wouldn't worry about the two goals yesterday we already had it won...

Its There's 14 games left. No game is must win yet. That kind of talk just brings needless pressure. However it is a good opportunity for three points and one where I believe that we've got enough to take them with us.

Conversely that very hard run of fixtures gives us the opportunity to deny our promotion rivals points. If you're good enough to finish in the top three then it doesn't matter who you have to play during the final third of the season because by definition you'd be better than the majority of...

I wouldn't say ever get a good reception. When Paul Simpson left us for Preston after two successive promotions he was called all sorts of stuff for the apparent betrayal of leaving his home town club for a club who some of our fanbase see as a rival. It was like he'd shagged your wife and...

Maybe not the affording to go up excuse but John Nixon would lose his FA perks of being the League Two representative if we won promotion and I wouldn't be surprised by anything that slimy toad would do to boost his own agenda.

I couldn't have imagined saying it at the start of the season but I'd suggest that we're missing Charters. His left foot brings balance to the team and his tenacity keeps everything in midfield tighter. His inclusion also gives Moxon extra freedom. To my eyes Gibson flatters to deceive. He...

Very impressive from Mansfield last night which was aided by us being unable to cope with what was going on. I don't know if Clough had studied all of our defeats or how we concede goals but he had Mansfield exploit the weaknesses that have been there all season. When teams play safe football...

Fantastic second half eh. Glad you enjoyed it. Brunton Park was a joy tonight.

Paul Simpson's first words in the summer were it's all about the last 10 games and he mentioned it again tonight. Get in a good position and then make it count. He knows what he's doing. No denying that it could go wrong but I'm 100% sure we've got the right man in charge.

Hope someone followed my +1 Crewe prediction on here. Drifted to 5/6 by kick-off time. Ridiculous value. Carlisle were also available at 11/8 on Betfair at kick-off. Very late drift on us, maybe some uninformed punters thinking we were weaker without Dennis in the team.

Oi Oi!

That will do. Happy fucking days. Up the blues!!

Carlisle United going to be taken seriously now?

I was born in Cumbria. However I do own a Westmorland flag which is raised at appropriate moments in honour of my family roots.

Carlisle is the county town. Therefore by definition everything in its kingdom belongs to her.

I think we're roughly where we should be in the table. I reckon we've slightly underachieved at home (goal scoring problems early in season) and slightly overachieved away from home (teams possibly playing too open against us). I'm a great believer in overall goal difference telling the truest...

I've not seen any 8 nil predictions and if they've been made then that's nonsense. The difference is Carver's predictions come from over confident exuberance and should be ignored as such. Whereas you give reasons and obviously put some thought into it. Despite the facts saying otherwise your...

Ease up man!! We're also top notch producers of cake (mint), pudding (sticky toffee) and bread (ginger). Along with fields full of lamb. We know our food.
