There's only one team in Cumbria - and it's not that lot at the end of the world's longest cul-de-sac! United are flying as wins over Rochdale and Barrow propel them into the automatic promotion places.

In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the 1-0 win at Spotland last weekend and the comprehensive 5-1 victory over the Bluebirds in midweek. Can United get a top-three finish... or could even a title push be a possibility?! There's plenty of talk about just how good Owen Moxon is, Jon Mellish's ridiculous engine and why the ability to rotate our strikers may just be the reason we push on for automatic promotion.

We also look ahead to this weekend's home-clash with Harrogate Town - can United end their hoodoo against the Sulpherites and pick up their first ever win over the North Yorkshire side?

Alongside this is a news update and the usual Loan Watch and Ex-Blues Round-up.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Mike Booth in Formby.
