Good morning.
The Capital One Cup then. The boss’ selection will be interesting given the fact that Manchester United areĀ lying in wait to pounce Saturday teatime. That said, it is Carlisle. Our opponents are currently 10th in the NPower League 1. To perhaps give you a reference point Orient are 14th in the same division.
The Yanited vs Toon game is the one on the telly here in the UK but it’s difficult to believe our game will be featured anywhere other than on the wireless [clicky].
Last night’s games were a mixed bag. Cheatski battered Wolves 6-0, Swansea beat Crawley Town 2-3, Southampton kept the train a rollin’ with a 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. There were two comedy results of course. Manchester City the current Premier League Champions were beaten at home by European giants Aston Villa. What made my night was West Ham getting walloped by Wigan 1-4. This was gold; Fat Sam’s programme notes told the Primark Posse he felt this was cup they could win.
I won’t bother you with a chalkboard, but I do think this game will see some significant changes. Given it’s Carlisle I would be happy enough to unleash the likes of Cudicini, Dawson, Jenas, Livermor and Huddlestone. I want us to field decent teams in all competitions, but this may well be a mud, blood and guts affair. So at this level we just need everyone we need for the weekend to come home with all their limbs attached.
Id love to see a 100m Comb over event. Are players sacked for being bald what happened to all the baldies.
That Brunton park use to rock when Carlisle were in the old 1st div.
A Ralph Coates Trophy. :daumen:
Hmmmmm, comb-over 11. There’s a challenge!
Stepney possibly in goal… Not so much a comb-over as an errant brillo pad.
Coates, Bobby Charlton, Jack Charlton, Gilly, Francis Lee, John Dempsey, David Armstrong, Gervinho…
Any others?
Lombardo.
Erm…..thats it.
Zizou
Vialli.
Erm……that’s it.
McAllister. We need a sub.
Lloris
Smith , gallas , dawson ,Huddleston
Townsend, Jenas , Carroll, Falque
Mason , Gylfi .
Gallas is just in the line up in hope he is not in the starting for UTD game on the weekend and i think Naughton is still out injured so i threw hudd in rigth back. Lloris needs game time to stay fit and focused and we need a strong keeper for this match
Thud at LB is an insane notion!
Dont be rude everyone has their opinion, just be thankfull he is not the manager.
Why do i bother…
Aw, don’t be sore! :cwy:
Have to agree with LLL, I think I would make a better choice at LB than Thudd.
Don’t take it personally. If you’re going to last around here, you need to have thick skin.
Or you can just be thick, if I think about it. Plenty on here who get by that way, too :devil:
Huddlestone at LB. It’s so crazy it could be genius!
We need to rest players for united….
Carlisle are hardly as good as Lazio and therefore we should go with youngsters and squad players and remember we have about 7 guys out injured
