Carlisle 'banter':

 

From

Ollie*CUFC @ FootballForums

 

"Saw the Southampton squad today

Ugly bunch, didn't recognise any of them. There were a couple of small black midgets that I towered over. They were all piling off the team coach into the local cinema, looked like some kind of handicapped outing with their bright red trackies."

 

"Also their team bus was w@nk. "

 

Sh1t club, sh1t fans.

 

 

 

:lol:

 

Still bitter after the JPT final, I see.

good turnout, hopefully tickets on the gates too. left it too late to buy tic and have taken up on the coach as usual for away games but I am confident that there will be a tic available on the turnstile. If not then I will put on my best Cumbrian accent, sit on my hands and slum it with the rest of the Northerners.

 

Leaving home in thirty mins to get to to Brighton station in time for the 03:50 train to Victoria. Hotel all booked and ready in Carlisle. Haven't been that far north for an age ... since three years ago!

 

As Confucius said: 'It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end' and '... remember, no matter where you go, there you are.'

 

Up the Saints, we will prevail..

 

COYR!!

went last year but not tomorrow,we took over 800 last season.it was a good atmosphere,good luck to all who go tomorrow and sing your hearts out for the lads.wifm

 

Just under a 1000 last season, probably 800ish this...and as you say, good luck to all. I'm sat here with a nice hot cup of tea while you lot have already been on the road to Scotland for the past 2 or 3 hours. Lucky b'stards!

1000 up there would be a tremendous turn out.

 

Funny isn't it how Saints fans go about their business supporting the club in such great fashion whilst down the road everyone is creaming themselves about what magnificent - when was the last time a home game was sold out - supporters they have ?

 

Umm...

Can anyone answer a really important question that could affect our chances this afternoon?

 

Did Connolly manage to get out the Treatment Room?

 

Even coming from the bench he is quite possibly the best striker at the club

 

he was at the training session of which video footage formed the backdrop to this week's NA build up interview. In the blue bibs so that means he'll be an "impact player".

Not as confident as usual, traditionally a game where saints will find it hard to retain the ball and move the opposition about. Will be a game where Barnard and Puncheons work rate could be essential, Saints to score first, 1-1. Still not a bad result TBF.

Puncheon and Barnard will be on the bench though,getting us in front will be down to Rickie and Lallana as I don't think AOC will make much of an impact at all today, playing far too much football and has an international midweek I think.

Last year there were a lot of complaints about the state of the pitch, is that likely to be a factor today?

 

Wasn't there a pitch inspection at 10am? If so I imagine the pitch isn't likely to be great.

 

I think if we can defend well on set pieces we'll get the win today. Our defence hasn't looked too troubled from open play in recent weeks under Adkins.

Umm...

 

as memory serves ...if it does...

last season (1-1) and the gate was 7000..and a 92nd min. point-saver from Jaidi, think I saw a figure of 691 Saints fans?..or

Am I being negative if I say I would take a draw?

 

Long trip, Carlisle on form. We should win, but traditionally this is the type of game we struggle in.

 

COYR.

 

 

I was thinking the same as you but Carlisle did have a win in the JPT on Tuesday

Tom Cruise is dropped from the Carlisle line up .... must be a bit knackered with all the filming of Mission Impoosible 4 here in Dubai including dangling on the outside of the worlds talest building The Burj Khalifa.

 

Radio cumbria reckon a 4 3 2 1 line up for them, not expecting a big hoofball game due to our strong defence.

And leftback is spot on the money with our team, does he do lottery numbers as well???

the "bibs" are also spot on, shake the bag Nigel!!!

The club won't like our team being posted the day before every game...

 

but you can see it every time anyway, the first team are those not wearing the bibs in training on the build up video.Anyway no need for all this secret squirrel stuff anyway,the team used to be printed in the Echo days before the match.

Shouldn't matter if the team is posted on here. The players are good enough to win every match in this league.

 

Certainly this team looks that way;Good to see it being tried this way because with a Lambert+Barnard partnership in attack it means we have to leave a better player on the bench be it Chaplow,Morgan or Hammond.Just have to see how it works out really.
