There is three guarantees in life - death, taxes, and Carlisle United s***ing the bed against Harrogate Town.

In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads are back to discuss the latest failure by the Blues to beat the Sulpherites - that's 8 games against the North Yorkshire side now, with 0 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats!

There's chat about the poor performances in attack, Edmo's penalty miss and whether or not you should still be a ball boy at 19 years old.

This is followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip down south to take on Oxford United in our first away game of the new league season - can United beat a side that many have tipped to potentially sneak into the play-offs this season?

There's also a news update and the usual run-down of what ex-Blues have been getting up to.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
