I agree oh special one. The noteworthy thing was the sheer guts involved in the run.

Give the Guy a break, Pal. Scored the winner in the FA Cup and now involved with both Goals (so far) tonight.
Moving in to 4th tonight is the important thing here. We're half way there.
Exactly..Benjis havin a good bloody game..If theres a weak link upfront its Petrov.Hes not on it for me tonight..Hopefully turn it round 2nd half but i expect Mancini will unleash the Robson.
I agree Petrovs been quite weak tonight and he should stop taking free kicks. Can anybody remember him actually scoring one?? Hes missed quite a few I remember.. My memorys shit..

Just watched the Micah goal again - all the more impressive as he was signalling that he didn't want the ball in the first place. Would have been one of the goals if the season if Benjani had tucked it away first time but kind of nice that Micah got it.
Come on City - let's keep our heads, get into that fourth spot and not be shifted!

He would never had tken that run if he hadn't had to-. It was all down to Zabba's dodgy back pass.

We usually come out stronger the second half especially when we are up.

If we were to make a sub I would want Benjani to come off and RSC to come on. Once we are 3:0 up, take off Petrov and bring on Robinho. :)
Benjanis not been too bad I mean he's assisted both goals which ain't too fucking shabby!
I know, just want Roque to net against Blackburn. And I want Robinho to come on and score again as well! :) I am greedy!
so now as every enemy circles our city
sour and sore, we swear war

Not sure we're playing as badly as some people are making out. Keeping possession very well imo and the gaping holes that were in our back four are a work in progress and now only appear as little cracks.
Also, Micah should do that more often. There's no way I'd be stopping him!

We're playing alright, but far from brilliant.

Only involved because he messed up a sitter.
Enough slagging the lad, he is enough of a distraction that he is impacting this game. He is going to score.

Agreed also, and I wish he'd shut up about Hughes
Just knuckle down for the new boss, and work on your tracking back

Admittedly Blackburn are poor but the best thing about this half-time scoreline is that, under Hughes you'd be worried about what happens when they pull a goal back, under Mancini all you can think of is how many more goals will we win by?

Garrido or Tevez could be taking the free kicks.
I fancy at least one more Goal from City. Another clean sheet will be great, too.

Also re, Benji. I was slagged off against Boro for defending him and again today. I'm not saying he's our best player, technically he's probably the worst striker we've got. But it's all about combinations and what works best. He's presence alone has troubled the BBurn defenders tonight. He's always willing has flicked the ball on for Tev well.
What would've happen if Robbie would've started? He'd only gone and scored Benji's two chances meaning Tevez wouldn't have got his umpteenth goal and Micah wouldn't have been able to cap that brilliant run. Where's the fun in that?
I'm glad the fans at the game are behind Benji at least.
