[Archived] Preview of Man City 1st Oct

[47er]

You're forgetting Ribiero and Myles Anderson JBN. - AKA Denis Irwen and Chris Smalling.

Yep we sure put one over on United there!

[broadsword]

The only fit player we have got who can actually defend is Samba.

Wow, we're going to get creamed. No-one in midfield who can make a proper tackle.

double figures, anyone?

Could be a real horror show - since it's a cat A game I'm not spending 35 quid to see us get humped so I'm staying away lol

[Miker]

This should be a 0-10 drubbing, but Kean has been considerably lucky not to lose many games by more than 2 goals, so it'll probably only be 1-3!

That's my real fear - maybe it should be X rated

[Waggy76]

I would prefer this game to be played by Rovers with a near complete squad ...I am convinced we will be slaughtered whoever plays but an injury hit squad ,will give the half wit in charge an excuse ....These are very sad times , can see it being 6-0 quite easily ..It won't be the only hammering we get this season either if the half wit manages us much longer ..

One crumb of comfort , Allardyce was sacked after a 7-1 drubbing at OT , we can but hope !!

Allardyce was sacked/gone, as soon as Jerome Anderson exerted his influence.

But I take your point Waggy76.

My original thoughts were a 5-0 spanking for us, I now change my prediction to 7-0 home drubbing and the biggest loss I have witnessed for us at Ewood in 41 years.

Kean OUT

[chris]

We have some big star names in the team which might help us get a result, I'll go for:

Robbo

Irwin Samba Smalling Pedersen

Holliet Gerrard Nzonzi Rochina

Rooney Batsituta

The fact that we have an forward line up worth easy over £100 million, suggests we are going to score. With Gerrard winning the ball in midfield and making them forward running, it's still the wingers that concern me.

I thinhk it's time to introduce Irwin and Smalling, Irwin has been consistent for many years and Smalling this season has looked a regular England international.

[Waggy76]

What is our record home defeat ?

[broadsword]

7-1

[tony gale's mic]

1-4

Hoilett; Dzeko, Aguero (2), Silva

[roverandout]

i see baldylocks has got his excuses in already when we lose on saturday, fringe players, stupid tosser, i really do hate that man with a passion.

[beastlove]

Never bet against Rovers but I am going to put a bet on rovers to loose by five goals.

[jim mk2]

This should be a 0-10 drubbing, but Kean has been considerably lucky not to lose many games by more than 2 goals, so it'll probably only be 1-3!

It's a 10-0 drubbing or a 3-1 defeat, not 0-10 or 1-3. Anyone who understands the game would know this.

[Ben-2000]

Is there any point in any of you going?... all this 7-0, 10-0 rubbish.

[brian nelsen]

Is there any point in any of you going?... all this 7-0, 10-0 rubbish.

I'll be there, to see us get beat 5-1.

6-0 City not looking forward to it, but it's a day out !

[Stuart]

Here's hoping they get back in the game against Bayern or we could be on the receiving end of a serious reaction at the weekend!

[yoda]

It's a 10-0 drubbing or a 3-1 defeat, not 0-10 or 1-3. Anyone who understands the game would know this.

It's a home game Jim, the home team's score is always written 1st, anyone who knows football understands this

[rebelmswar]

So is a quick jaunt across the River Styx.

6 to 1 for City to score 4 or more goals? Is that right?

Yup

[92er]

City in disarray-according to 5 Live-their source is "the tv people"-Tevez has refused to come on as a sub.

Kean's tactical finesse will come to the fore.
