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.

For what it's worth going off the overall table, recent form and goal records. I'd give us roughly a 53% chance of winning or just under 10/11. Not exactly clear cut! Take into account the bookies margin and I'd be looking at anything evens and above a value bet in our favour. I saw 23/20 last...

I'm simply trying to comprehend how you got to the conclusion that a Barrow win is the only logical outcome? If that makes me a freak then so be it. It's a football message board, views are meant to be discussed and argued, with evidence provided to back up. I look forward to taking a trip to...

Plenty of active Carlisle fans in Kendal. There's buses that go to various Premier League clubs (Manchester United/City, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Leeds) and the Old Firm clubs. Also a fair share of Preston, Burnley, Blackpool and even Morecambe. Quite a footballing town Kendal. Yet...

Carlisle United home record: P13 W7 D5 L1 F20 A10 PTS26 Barrow away record: P13 W4 D3 L6 F13 A19 PTS15 Only a Barrow victory can be seen? The form over the last 10 games... Carlisle 20 points 17 for 7 against. Barrow 9 points 8 for 15 against. So Carlisle 2 points per game, 1.7 goals scored...

He must've had an off day at Brunton Park. I don't like judging players on one viewing. I called it to my Dad early that he looked uncomfortable on corners and that we'd have a great chance to score from one. A few corners later he flaps and we score. Maybe the new boots he got for Christmas...

It's good to see us score different types of goals and with plenty of different names getting on the score sheet. I also like that most of the mainstays in the starting 11 are our players rather than loans. January is looming and who knows what that'll bring squad-wise but if we can just keep...

That was the most comfortable time watching Carlisle United in ages. Lovely. Offord was a total liability for them. He was the opposite of everything a captain should be.

820 Cumbrians at Crewe.

Three of our four league defeats this season have come against the top 3. That shows us exactly where we are. Against everyone else we're competitive, tough to beat and occasionally very good. Missing that extra bit of quality when playing the best of the league. It's Simpson's and Abbott's...

At half-time it looked like the worries with Whelan at left centre back were unfounded but in the end those worries shone brightly. He wasn't the only one to blame. Feeney and Huntington both crumbled. It was a replay of the Walsall mad five minutes. When you take the lead the first thing you...

Oh yeah. We're missing that Michael Bridges type of player. He once scored a pretty decent goal at Sixfields!

225 Carlisle United at Northampton Town this evening.

It started off a decent game, then the referee found his whistle and decided any contact equalled a foul.

Let's hope Simmo has had the tape out of that game to remind them of what not to do. On the plus side great seeing Joel Senior back on the team sheet after 10 months out.

Mellish out is a blow. The defence was all over the shop the last time Whelan slotted into that position against Harrogate.
