Any betters out there, might be worth sticking a fiver on Carlisle to win the first half and Oxford to win the second, some pretty good odds. Going for a 3-1 to the U's. Stats say that's a very unlikey thing to happen.

Leaving at 6 for a 653 mile trip. Was up there this week and the worse sign was at Preston on the M6. It reads Carlisle 83 miles. Got to go for an away win but will on this occasion be a 2cw, c,mon York. My biggest worry will be getting served in the Magpie.

One thing I noticed this season is that we have yet to score a last minute or injury time winning goal in any game. Maybe our latest winning goal was Roofe's at Dagenham? The only injury time equalizer I can recall is Hoban's at Luton. So maybe we're due for some late drama either this weekend or against Wycombe. Didn't we score a late winner up at Carlisle in our 95-96 promotion season -- Martin Aldridge, if my memory serves me right?

Does O'Dowda's 90th minute strike at Notts County not count? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35179700

Ahh! Don't you just love it! Daffodils sitting proud with their yellow beauty. Tulips swaying in the soft, gentle spring breeze. Trees with their lush, green leaves. In their flower beds, the new shoots of beautiful flowers, poking through. Birds returning from their migration. Longer lasting days. Oxford United promoted. And now..........the reality. Flowers give me hay fever. The only birds near my house are bloody pigeons, crapping everywhere. Its been snowing, thundering, rain and wind. Squirrels keep digging my sodding garden up. Oxford United making me a nervous, bleeding wreck. With all that in mind, I predict: Carlisle 1 Oxford United 2 (Roofe and an own goal) Att: 4565 and 1700 travelling Yellows fans (well bloody done!) But its not all the events on the pitch that are bothering me, though. Here are my thoughts on tomorrow: Apart from Mullins, all our injured warriors will make a miraculous recovery, for this game. Joe 'iron balls' Skarz will live up to his nickname, parading his new, metal prosthetic penis and testicles, after his recent injuries. Unfortunately, the Carlisle centre half will be carrying a very strong magnet in his pocket. Every time Skarz goes to kick the ball - zap! the magnet will cause his 'man bits' to cling, clang and wallop. Skarz will turn into a nervous wreck and be subbed after 24 minutes. Dunkley will go to head the ball after 31 mins, but miss and nut the crossbar, breaking it. The referee, a Mr Mike Hunt (say it fast, three times) will book 8 Oxford and 6 Carlisle players. Buchel will go to punch the ball after 36 mins - but miss and smack Dunkley in the coccyx. Dunkley will 'lay the nut on him' in return (his best header ever). One of the linos (Mr. Dick Head) will go to raise his flag for an offside decision, but accidently shove it up his nose. Oxford will get a penalty after 42 minutes. Not only will Sercombe miss, but the ball will land on top of the floodlights. A heron, having a leisurely fly over the ground, will have a heart attack and drop down dead on Roofe's clavicle. After suffering with a hunchback over the last couple of weeks, poor Roofe will have to have the bird's beak removed from his clavicle, before he can recover. A massive lightening strike will hit their full back's arse, who will scream and accidently kick the ball into his own net; hence our second goal. Then things will turn weird. Every now and then, Roofe, after the heron incident, will strut around, doing chicken impressions and clucking, for no reason. Roberts will laugh so much, he will give himself a hernia. Jake Wright will go to take a free kick after 65 minutes. He will kick the ball so hard, it will puncture and he will break his foot and be out injured for six years. Outside the ground, a car will explode after 68 minutes. A homeless dog will run onto the pitch after 79 minutes and bite Dunkley on his head. The dog's teeth will be strewn all over the place after Dunks 'lays one on' him. A Carlisle fan will bring a drum into the ground. Not a musical drum, but an old oil drum. He will be carted off by the police, who will all resign later. Someone will let off a massive yellow flare and an RAF Tornado will have a near-miss with the ground, because of the smoke. Two corner flags will snap in half. The director's box will explode. Michael Appleton will explode. That just about does it for me.

Keith Curle ahead of the Oxford Utd match. Talking like a man already defeated. When he said 'I want to beat Oxford' his voice went up which suggests he is lying. I hope he doesn't show this comment to his team because that is his team talk already done (apparently lower league managers don't give team talks nowadays; they instead peruse opposing team forums in the hope of finding 1 comment that will replace the need for talk about tactics, motivation, corner/free kick takers etc.)

We have been wrong in the past by saying they are must-win games, but surely this is a must-win game, unless our promotion rivals don't win.

I'm in Invercargill NZ which is about as far as I could possibly be from Carlisle so I shall not be there today. Makes up for those times in the 70s when we were lucky to get 150 of us up there. No way of finding the score till Sunday early doors but I am confident of the win. COYY!! Check out "The World's Fastest Indian" if you've never seen it before. Cracking film, but more importantly the most amusing non-attempt at a local accent I've ever known from an Oscar-winning actor. Meanwhile, Accrington to lose at WhyCome? so although Rovers will win, we shall still have first dibs on second place next weekend.

York City are entwined in my football and family history. I've a feeling that they might just do us a favour today. There will be a tear in my eye if they do.
