  1. Does anyone know how you change your starting line up and formation
  2. Personally I don't think there is any truth at all in the Baines story. I think someone on the inside has leaked half a story, "were in talks with a left back, under 21 international, highly rated, 6 million, blah, blah, blah" and someone in the press has put 2 and 2 together and came up with Baines. Let's face it, if a supposed ITK came on here and gave that info, most other people would guess at Baines too.
  3. I'm sorry for starting a new thread on Setanta Sports when there is already at least 1 thread about them on the go. The reason I have done so is because personally I think they are a shower of shite and I wanted to warn anyone who isn't already a customer (or is for that matter), and may be planning to become one before the season kicks off next week, how crap they are. I have already said on here that when I signed up last week the idiot who took my call was a complete moron who didn't have a clue what he was doing and kept me on the phone for the best part of 40mins. Said idiot told me that they wouldn't take payment until 14 days after I was switched on, which would be this Thursday, August 9th. The money was taken out of my account 6 days after and because I use a seperate account for all my direct debits where the exact money to cover the cost of my bills is all that's ever in there, I have now had a payment returned for insufficient funds and have incurred charges off the company in question and the bank. I've tried now for 2 days to get through to someone at there customer services but cannot. It's ok if I want to become a new customer, there is more than sufficient staff to take them calls but unfortuntaly not if you are an existing customer. I've tried speaking to someone in there sales department but they do not have access to existing customers details and all they can advise me to do is keep ringing the customer service number. So for any would be/current customers here's some advice 1. They will try and charge you a connection fee. They charged me one but since then I've discovered numerous other people off the various message boards I use were not charged one. 2. Make sure you have sufficient funds in the bank to cover whatever they are charging you from the day you sign up. 3. If the weather outside is shite, the signal is that weak that you will have severe viewing problems. It's the summer now and I'd hate to see what it'll be like trying to watch anything they are screening in the Autumn/Winter/Spring if the signal is not boosted by then. 4. As far as I'm aware you have to cancel your account 30 days in advance if you wanting rid of it. If your gonna do this I'd suggest you start ringing them 40 days in advance because there is certainly no quick way of getting through to there understaffed and appauling customer services. and finally 5. If you only intend to have it switched off for one month it is not worth it, as I said last week you will recieve a connection fee of £10.00 everytime you ring to have there channels put back on.
  4. Don't know if anyones bothered but I was in the club shop today and the retro shirts that they've been selling are now on sale for £15.00.
  5. What a fooking con !!!! Just rang up to get it put on and there was a £10 connection fee. Then the moron was that thick he couldn't set it up properly so he had to put me on hold and get assitance. Ended up being on the phone for over 40 mins and paid £19.99 instead of what I thought was gonna be a tenner. He also said that the connection fee is charged everytime you connect, so say there's no Newcastle games on in November and I decide to cancel for that month if I ring up to put it back on in December I would then pay another £10 connection fee.
  6. The way we started yesterday certainly looked like the more defensive version of the 4-5-1 system. It looked like Carroll was up top on his own with 5 across the middle. Oba right side, Dyer left, and Nobby in the middle
  7. Can't understand why there was no seating numbers on tickets for that section because I was in section 7 of the CBS stand and we certainly had allocated seats. As for the melee during the second half, I'm pretty sure the police wouldn't have got involved if the 2nd so called supporter hadn't appeared from nowhere to smack one of the stewards and knock him arse over tit over the hoardings.
  8. After Queuing for the best part of 2 hours this morning for tickets to the Carlisle match on Saturday I sincerly hope that the team that turns out at Brunton Park are as strong as what people think will play against Hartlepool tomorrow night.
  9. Do you not have to pay a connection fee for Setanta now ? When there was offers on, in the weeks leading up to the Hatton fight, there was definatly a connection fee.
  10. If Smith was to leave his place warming Manures bench he's hardly going to come here to do the same thing Surely he'd go somewhere he was more or less guaranteed a starting place and not come here when we've got another 4 first team strikers.
  11. I like it myself mate. Think it's far better than the home top we've endured for the last 2 seasons, which in my opinion was bloody awful.
  12. Cheers for the replies peeps. Wanting one before I go away on Holiday next week and the only place in Carlisle that's got them in stock is JJB and I aint paying £40 when they are nearly a tenner cheaper in Sports World. Normally I would try the bugger on before I bought it, but my sister is shopping in the Metro so I've asked her to get me one. Opted for XL, rather it be to big than too small.
  13. Can anyone please tell me what the sizes are like on the latest home shirt ? I've had various tops before where a large has been quite big and more than sufficient, where with others a large isn't so large and an xl has had to be purchased. A prime example being the last 2 home shirts. The last one a large was big. The top before a large was quite small. Thanks in advance
  14. Personally I think it's a con. 2 movie channels showing the exact same films, 7 days a week. Some of the channels have gone from being on 24 hours a day to half that. Sky Cinema 1 & 2 have now gone and the shit that they used to screen is now being screened prime time across other channels. I theory, changing the channels to what they did was a good idea, but not with the rubbish that's on them.
  15. Whilst on the subject of Sky, how much of a bloody con are the revamped movie channels ? Why the hell is a Premier+1 channel needed when the exact same films in the same order are on the normal Premier channel 7 days a week ??
  16. I have only seen him play a couple of times and he always seemed more interested in agro rather than football. Has the tempremant of Roy Keane, Ben Thatcher and Danny Mills rolled into one.
  17. Possibly because the last time 2 inexperienced old boys came back to the club we played possibly the best football the team has ever produced and were genuine title contenders.
  18. If we could get someone like SWP on loan in Jan then I'd sell Milner, but as people have already mentioned, the squad is wafer thin as it is so I certainly wouldn't be cashing in on him if replacements weren't brought in first.

    Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but does anyone know why he wasn't even on the bench yesterday ?
  20. I really cannot believe this. My mate is a manc and a staunch Citeh supporter. When we sold Boomsong last week he said to me that he was gutted that we'd got rid of him because they now had the worst player in the premiership playing for them. And shock horror thats the player we've just signed. Words f*cking fail me they really do. Surely to god we could've got someone better than this. As someone has already mentioned, is this what it's now came too, signing players that aren't even good enough for Man City. Disgraceful :wullie:
