Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers Official Matchday thread.

[Aussie!]

20:00
Next league game, Monday 11th


Other interesting games that week include...

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur
Birmingham City v Manchester United


With the Spurs game, any outcome will be relatively positive for our advance into a top 4 spot. Spurs 2-0. Benitez gets the flick day after - takes Bolton job :)

With Birmingham game, man are they an IN FORM team. Havnt lost their past 11 games, which include games with city, Chelsea and Liverpool, with confidence on a high and playing at home could be a combination for a 2-0 win.



Other than that, should give Robinho 90mins to boost back his confidence against a team who hasnt historically been difficult.

Onuoha and SWP both still injured I think, and if theyre OK then I'd rest them anyway, then play them against Everton.
