Carlisle United manager Chris Beech said: We've been treated

Carlisle United manager Chris Beech said:

"We've been treated like Premier League players this week. We travelled down and organised to train at Aston Villa thanks to Dean Smith.

"I rang him and he supported us by keeping his chefs back, they cooked us salmon and pasta so we were fuelled up for the match.

"We stayed at a nice hotel in Cardiff and ate well, we're trying to improve standards at the football club. They're little steps, but the boys have had a good 24 hours, they've filled their boots.

"They gave a proud, positive performance in front of a loud supporter base, and I'm really proud of the football club."

They deserved it on that performance ! will city do same going there?

Good luck to them. That's what the FA Cup is all about

Carlisle think it's a treat to have salmon and pasta. I think our players should wise up sharpish.
