Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted August 15, 2006 This player is having a terrible run of bad luck at the moment. Maybe he'll get hit by a bus or something. The story about Van der Meyde getting his drink spiked at a nightclub sounds like so much bullsh!t to me. Why would anyone bother? It's not like it was some desperate chick who just couldn't keep her hands off him, or a fan from a rival team because a) most people wouldn't recognise him even if he was standing there in his Everton kit with "Van der Meyde" printed on the back and he's not so talented anyone would try to keep him out of the Everton team. Sounds to me like he took something he shouldn't have, then his clever agent/lawyer came up with some story to make him look like the victim. I hope Rio Ferdinand is paying attention. Which would be a first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 15, 2006 Not disputing it Lady Die which was the whole point of the transfer to Carlisle gag, yer unlucky man would be well pissed off to find himself at Brunton Park, though - relatively speakin' - it's a well run club with upwardly mobile ambitions and two promotions in as many seasons. More than can be said for the desperately cash starved Crawley Town of late although their form on the pitch this season is great. Okay they're bottom with -4 points but they started on Saturday with -10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 16, 2006 He's worth more than their current first team and the club at the moment. On a separate note if Pulphack is passing, these are the current ideas on the CUFC unofficial site about the eagerly awaited home clash with Leyton Orient. One or two of our support prepared to predict wins for Orient! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 18, 2006 Pulphack Even the experts on our message board say score draw when our teams collide tomorrow. Prediction is for some - ahem - very Cumbrian weather.

TLC 9 Posted August 18, 2006 Random thought: - Does anyone else here sN-word like a child when commentators use the expression 'cross-come-shot' to describe a mishit/genius cross that ends up giving the 'keeper some work to do? Sounds a bit like an angry porn climax if you ask me. Just don't try to imagine the look on the player's face as he whips one into the opponent's box... Taxi already ordered, coat under my arm.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 18, 2006 TLC, thanks for sharing that thought and adding hitherto unconsidered flights of imaginative fancy to every Five Live commentary I listen to from now on.

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted August 19, 2006 1 Premiership match gone, 1 win Regards DL, Jack Taylor, the former World Cup Final (1974) referee was at the game. If you ever thought about him for a DL team in 2007, don't. Looked dapper & very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 19, 2006 Respect to Jack, one minute of the final gone and he gives a penalty, if you can face that pressure I guess you can tough old age for a while. Wasn't thinking of him for next year's deadpool anyway, but thanks for the update OoO. No sign of Pulphack around here or at Brunton Park today. Carlisle 3 Orient 1, not as comfortable as the score would suggest but we took our chances well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulphack 6 Posted August 20, 2006 Mary! Been dropping in to read but not had time to post for a while. Didn't get to the game (in fact, spent most of the afternoon painting my mum's hallway while listening to Jeff Stelling despair of Hartlepool ever scoring), but not too surprised at the result. Always thought of Carlisle as being a bit of a bogey team for us since that time we went 5-0 down in about 20 minutes... some things just stick in the mind. Good for you to Karl Hawley on the scoresheet, and at least Lee Steele is in form for us. Our new no5 is a donkey, though, isn't he... no repalcement for Gabby. And well done OoO - coming back from what must have been a shattering first 20 minutes shows a good degree of fortitiude. Some way to celebrate the first top flight game...

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 20, 2006 Hiya Pulphack Yeah, scrappy first half where we took the one clear chance. We dominated the second, both of our goals being complete class moves, yer man Steele's header was a bit scrappy, everyone stretching in that move but if Jabo Ibhere knew how to shoot straight you'd have had us back at 3-2 with about twenty minutes to go and that would've been a different game.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 23, 2006 It's August 24th tomorrow, now if only I could remember which team were top of the whole Football League on goal difference exactly 32 years ago. Oh, it was Carlisle United, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted August 23, 2006 Right, I'm off home to watch Sky yet again stick Charlton on live whenever they think we're about to get a good shoeing. The fact that we're at the Valley will probably make no odds, we've never beaten Man U in the premier league. By comparison, we've beaten Chelsea, Arsenal & Liverpool at various times, all of them away from home at least the once, and definitely season doubles over Chelsea & Liverpool. We even bagged a Kevin Lisbie hat-trick against the mighty 'pool a couple of years ago, I'm surprised it passed the dubious goals committee just because of the sheer unlikeliness of it. Normally he couldn't score in a brothel with a £50 note wrapped round his todger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 23, 2006 I think most of us would have to remove the £50 before we scored. It'd be worth less afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted August 23, 2006 Another game against Man U, another thrashing. We were lucky to lost 3-0, despite cheaty Wes 'The Cheatster' cheaty Brown cheater who stuck his had right up in the air to not only deliberately handball it in the area, but also stop what looked like a goal-bound Hreidarsson header, and he was on a yellow card already, and it was only 1-0 at the time. The cheat. Not denying the fact we were lucky to be only 1-0 down at the time, but could have then been 1-1 v 10 men; we might well have only lost 2-1 or something! At least Chelsea lost too so we didn't lose any ground on them.... And I suppose it was nice to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer score for the first time in 3 years. Well done him.
