1-0 (Hoilett)

[Ricky]

I've gone for over 4.5 goals at 7-2. Think we will score but they will score more. 3-2 to city.

Either that or it'll be a real battering!!

[beastlove]

I have gone for Rovers 1 - city 7 at 300-1. Arsenal could have got six and Newcastle could have got five. Not sure Kean knows how to defend. More than likely we will get hammered particularly if most of the back four is out

[Simon Says]

Not looking forward to this.

I have a feeling it could be very ugly.

[philipl]

Spoke with a Fulham supporter yesterday who said that his lot really should have beaten City when they came back from0-2 to 2-2.

He described City as spineless and lacking character who wilted under pressure and wide attacks.

If Olsson hadn't been suspended, I'd have said we could have done another Arsenal and beaten City today based on that feedback.

However, Mancini needs a big result today after recent goings-on so I expect City will start at 100mph.

The Kean Cringe-o-meter has just gone in to melt down!

The way he talks youd think he'd have won the Champs league!

KEAN OUT!

I dream of the post-Kean era.

Who needs Bastian Schweinsteiger when we have Vince Grella?

[bob fleming]

"I witnessed the game in person and while I really didn't have a clue what was going on, it looked like they had players covering the fullbacks someone told me. Anyway the main thing was that it was the Oktoberfest AND I got to go on a plane again. Which was great. I take a lot of positives out of that."

mmmmmmmmmm Finally!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

lol tom! you mean you are hoping that it is not more than 2 goals so you can justify you junket to the subbie!? Be honest for once!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !

Is that a proper statement or ... crikey do you have any shame? And I am looking at it context if you want to argue!

What in the blue hell are you talking about?

I have said many times I think we are better off without Kean but there is no evidence that even if we were to lose 10-0 he would be sacked.

Oh and for the record we don't have to justify it to anyone especially one with an attitude like your own.

As for 'Be honest for once' don't pretend you know me.

[RibbleValleyRover]

He's clearly under some serious pressure otherwise he wouldn't have thrown Jensen under the bus.

A mauling today could be the end for him, if that is the case I will welcome it.

[Tom]

I would rather a win anyday but I do agree 0-5 would be better than 1-2 or maybe even a draw at this stage.

Would we absolutely positively don't want is a narrow defeat due to a dodgy penalty or an offside goal etc.

[Amo]

Who needs Bastian Schweinsteiger when we have Vince Grella?

We've never had Vince Grella.

Surely he can be detained under Section 2 or 3 of the relevant Act?

[daverich]

never mind this will cheer you up!

love kean eh? he's solid!

Sounds like someone had a few too many sherbets!

[Sysagent]

He was on his way at 21:30...

;-)

[Hekla]

I can only see a heavy defeat here, as much as it hurts to say. Maybe a heavy defeat will kill Kean off for good.

[den]

Just hope Jason Lowe makes more of a positive contribution, if played, and doesn't give the opposition any more assists after his last two games because we cant afford any more errors.

Jason Lowe shouldn't be starting games at the moment. After all the "fantastic" players Kean has signed during the past transfer window, there should be no need to be throwing such a young lad into the team. Especially in such important positions.

[Tom]

Jason Lowe was great against Arsenal but against Orient he proved he isn't a right back.

I still think Linganzi looked a better player in midfield but obviously he wasnt rated too high.

[Mercer]

City will come out all guns blazing, have no doubt, and backed by a fanatical 7,000+, I can only see one outcome.

Will go for a 4-1 defeat at best but wouldn't be surprised if City make that 5, 6, 7 or 8.

I hope today is the last we ever hear from that b@st@rd Kean as Rovers' boss.

[AJW]

Is it wrong of me to hope we get a pasting today?

[Hekla]

No.

Jason Lowe along with Nick Blackman, though Lowe is better than Blackman, by far, is a prime example of exactly where the bar should not be set at, as it far too low for premier league football when it comes to managing Blackburn Rovers football club.

Give Kean hell today ladies and gents, if only for the sake of our great club.
