[Archived] Manchester City 0 Blackburn Rovers 0

[1864roverite]

still hoping to go to COMS

I just dont see Rovers losing this game IF they can reproduce the recent power plays through the flanks.

I think the duel between Mills and MGP will be interesting, this is for me where the game can be won.

1-0 Rovers

Watching the Aussie game, its going to take a miracle to get a performance out of Bert and Neill on Saturday.

[Dan Furness]

Reidy at RB and possibly Bentley brought in?

[Ronin]

If we can carry on where we left off against Charlton then I can see us getting the 3 points. However, as has been said, depends on what state our players that play in the World Cup playoffs come back in, especially the Aussies with their long haul flight.

[greggyk]

Lucas and Brett should be buzzing though and should be desperate to play.

Also, hopefully this is good in the short-term for Brett's confidence

Got to agree with Dan mark Furness, how we can expect a performance from Lucas and Bret is on saturday is beyond me, their celebrations on qualifying for the world cup will probably be in full swing now.

Add that to a round the world trek, they aint going to have an easy ninety minutes on saturday lets hope the depth of squad can cope with them on the bench.

emerton doesnt drink does he ?

[thebigguy]

i wondering if me ticket will work if its been wet and then dried on radiator ?

[Bobby G]

Cant see them both starting.

Emo looked to come off with a slight injury.

Add that to jet lag and barely any sleep then you cant have two players playing on the right side both much less than 100% ready.

Id possibly start with Neill, or move Zurab right back and Nelsen and Todd can play in the middle.

I think we have the squad to cope.

[andyrovers]

yes me and ben will be

mines not golden, its yellow, i want a refund

Ereet, will see you and Ben at the station....

Then onto a local ale house or 3.....

Hopefully we'll have another victorious win in Manchester

Rovers 2-1 Bellamy/Kuqi

[philipl]

Going to adjust my forecast to a 3-0 defeat. That's what happened the last time we played a club with all its regular midfielders missing.

erm tricky one, if not i`m sure the stewards would sort it out for you at the ground

[greggyk]

Well, 'Lawro' thinks City will win 2-1. Reason; because of their big pitch?

I'm really starting to enjoy views like this. We're clearly very underestimated technically by many these days, and there are constant worries about how players will stand up to our midfield. I'd much rather this than the reputation of, say, Norwich, who made people say "well they can play a bit" but provided very little substance.

If Citeh want to protect players against us for fear of intimidation of injury then let them. They're the ones making the mistakes - it isn't as if Tugay, MGP and Emo are cloggers in midfield.

1-0 Rovers with Lucas to score in the 71st minute, I'm sure of it.

Papa Lazarou's wife told me at King Georges Hall last night.

1-0 to the Lancastrians

Had a quick look at the City forum - found a quote that really sums up the City 'big club' fans mentality:

"--I think my dislike of Blackburn falls in to the category of 'Poor lancashire teams that think they're good.'---"

Mind the windows in your glass house mate.

Translated to me:- " Dislike of Blackburn falls into the category of 'They've won something in the last 20 years' and we haven't "

Very scientific approach to take one person's post and use it as evidence of your own jaundiced viewpoint.

What's more galling is that Blackburn got 30,000 when Jack Walker bought a winning team, yet when you're mid-table 15,000 of those couldn't be bothered.

It's those 15,000 who have a big-club mentality. They only want to be associated with success.

The 1700 who will follow Blackburn on Saturday are proper football fans and deserve a better ambassador

Perhaps they all buggered off to watch Citeh eh Marv?

[1864roverite]

yep

man city the original big city football club only rivalled by those other blue noses from brum, that englands 2nd and 3rd city football teams (4th for man city tho).

city have a marvellous away following, but then again in a city so large its no wonder they have.

pound for pound Rovers are a bigger club, after all when was the last time they ever won a major trophy ?
