Blue Moon Podcast - A Manchester City Show

To review the 2024-25 season and look ahead to what 2025-26 might bring, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom, Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News, and the former City captain Paul Lake for the live show at Idle Hands in Manchester. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a disappointment at Wembley and an emotional goodbye to Kevin De Bruyne in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns, The Athletic's Jon Mackenzie, and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter, to review the week. What's the difference between the denial of a goalscoring opportunity on a Saturday in a Cup Final and the denial of a goalscoring opportunity on a Tuesday in the Premier League? Lots, apparently, so we'll get into all of that. Plus, we look at the bigger picture, as performances continue to improve and the team continues to look more stable (albeit with the odd 'bozo' moment). With a crucial game against Fulham coming up where City need a point to be sure of playing in next season's Champions League, we look ahead to that and the nerves about how tight the table is in the hunt for the top five. And it's time for the alternative highlights of the season with Ciaran Murray (with a cameo from a special guest, too). ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a dour 0-0 draw at Southampton and ahead of a third successive FA Cup Final appearance, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ally Fogg and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter. They discuss the bore draw on the south coast and look at Ruben Dias's comments after the game: Fair enough or should he keep quiet with those grumbles? Crystal Palace fan Robbie Scotcher joins the show to give insight into the feeling at Selhurst Park ahead of the trip to Wembley. Plus, there's the match with Bournemouth... where City might be needing to play catch-up in the race to finish in the top five.  That Bournemouth game is likely to be the final time that Kevin De Bruyne pulls on a blue shirt for a competitive game at The Etihad, so we're taking some time to look at his legacy at the club before what will be one of the toughest goodbyes ever said to a departing player. On top of that, there's been some transfer rumours bouncing around the mill this week, so we have a look at what's been said about Florian Wirtz, Tijjani Reijnders, Morgan Gibbs-White and Tino Livramento.  ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Following Manchester City's 1-0 win over Wolves, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss the performance and big moments from the match. They look at the displays from both Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, plus they talk about the fan protests from the first six minutes. With already-relegated Southampton up next, Sam Rosbottom gives us the details of all the times previously when City have faced a team in the Premier League that have already been doomed to finish inside the bottom three. We look ahead to that game and how Pep Guardiola may approach it with the FA Cup Final also in his sights. Plus, Saints fan Glen de la Cour, from Total Saints, also joins the show to explain what's gone wrong at St Mary's this season. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

On Sunday 7 May 2000, Manchester City completed back-to-back promotions to return to the Premier League. Just under a year after winning the third tier playoff in a dramatic match at Wembley with Gillingham, the team came from behind to win an extraordinary game with Blackburn at Ewood Park to win promotion to the Premier League. For the first time in a long time, the club were no longer under-achieving. In this special episode, David Mooney speaks to all of the key figures from the 1999-2000 season to get the inside story of how the club was able to complete its recovery from its lowest ever position to return to the top flight of English football. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Another successful trip to Wembley for Pep Guardiola means a third FA Cup final in a row for Manchester City. David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and, from the Manchester Evening News, Simon Bajkowski to discuss the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with a particular focus on Rico Lewis after his performance in midfield. After the impact that Nico O'Reilly has made to the team in the last few weeks, we take a look at all of the makeshift left backs that Guardiola has employed at City - and how he's changed their role in the team depending on the skills they have. Plus we look at the role that O'Reilly could have been now and the end of the season and beyond. With a Friday night game against Wolves coming up, we look ahead to that with the help of Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves. Plus, there's another protest planned for that evening, so we discuss what was said in the open letter sent to Pep Guardiola by fan groups this week. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

A last-minute winner is always great for picking up the mood! Back-to-back victories have put Manchester City in a commanding position in the race for the top five this season and have got the confidence flowing again ahead of an FA Cup semi-final against one of the Premier League's highest performing teams, too. David Mooney is joined by City fan Helen Powell and by the BBC's Chief Football Writer, Phil McNulty, to review both the wins against Everton and Aston Villa, plus to look ahead to that Wembley trip to face Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Journalist and Forest fan Daniel Storey explains why things have been going so well for them this season (and why their Monday night win over Spurs was very, very welcome) - plus we take a look back at Stuart Pearce's time at City. It's 20 years since he took the managerial hot seat and, in a week where City face Forest, it seems appropriate to reflect on that. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The attention is on Kevin De Bruyne after a performance that rolled back they years, but there's also a discussion to be had about the 'spirit' returning, as Pep Guardiola said this week. With Everton next up and City's final ever trip to Goodison Park, we hear from Matt Jones from The Blue Room about their recovery under David Moyes. Plus, Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler is on the show to preview Aston Villa's visit to the Etihad on Tuesday. Who needs to do what to qualify for next season's Champions League? And there are more protests planned for upcoming home games around ticketing issues with the club, so Dante from The 1894 Group speaks to us about the action that's been taken recently. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a rather boring Manchester Derby, David Mooney is joined by City fans KC and Gaz to reflect on why the game went the way it did... and if there was anything City, in their current situation, could have done to get more out of the game. Dan Burke reflects on all of the previous Premier League Manchester Derbies that have ended goalless, while we also discuss Kevin De Bruyne's legacy at the Etihad. He announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, so we've been gathering your memories of his decade in a blue shirt. It's Crystal Palace up next for City, so comedian and Palace fan Andre Vincent is back on the show to try and explain why they're having such a good time of it this season so far. How urgent is a win for City in the race for next season's Champions League places? We've also had the news that season ticket and matchday ticket prices will be frozen for next season, thanks to action by supporter fan groups and the City Matters fan advisory board. What should happen next and how can this be built on for the future? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After back-to-back wins that have seen Manchester City take a commanding position in the race for the top four/five and make it into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, David Mooney is joined by Nick Clarke from the MCFC Fans Foodbank Support group and by Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the week. With supporters protesting against the club's ticket partnerships and policies, they look at the action that was taken during the opening nine minutes of the win over Leicester and what is hoped it will achieve in the coming weeks and months. After a good performance in the centre of the pitch, we discuss what role Jack Grealish can have between now and the end of the season, plus it was a big week for Nico O'Reilly, after he changed the game at Bournemouth and followed that up by performing very well in midweek. And, with the Manchester Derby on the horizon, we preview that match - and look back to some local derbies that City have NEVER played in the Premier League. We'll hear from fans of Bury, Macclesfield and Stockport with their memories of visits to Maine Road. On top of all of that... what's the most audacious goal City have scored? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The international break is coming to an end, which means it's a return to action for Manchester City. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from One Football, Dan Burke. Together, they look ahead to the FA Cup tie with Bournemouth and the Premier League fixture against Leicester. Neel from Beyond the 90 LCFC joins the show to explain what's been going wrong at the King Power this season and what his hopes are for their trip to the Etihad on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the former City defender Danny Granville is on the show, discussing his time at Maine Road - from joining Joe Royle's promotion-chasing side in the summer of 1999, through going up at Blackburn to relegation at Ipswich, and then his departure under Kevin Keegan. Plus, why do so many people covering the background to the Premier League charges case omit that some of the evidence at CAS in the UEFA case was not proven instead of time-barred? And what would happen if the 2012 City team played the 2023 one? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

With the international break arriving, there is a bit of room to look away from the pitch on this week's Blue Moon Podcast. David Mooney is joined by City fans KC and Richard Burns to discuss the 2-2 draw with Brighton, with a look at how the team is struggling to keep control of games, how the wingers might need some help (or need to provide better deliveries), and how City are shaping up in the Champions League chase. We talked on a recent show about how City were often the first team to do something in English football... so we put Sam Rosbottom on the case to dig through the history books to discover some of the less well-known footballing firsts that the club is responsible for. After St Patrick's Day this week, we also take a look at City's recent history of Irish player - from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland - and we also talk about the best goals City have scored that have left the goalkeeper standing. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After defeat at Nottingham Forest, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and Mark Critchley from The Athletic to discuss Manchester City's position in the battle for the Champions League places. Focusing on the match at the City Ground, they look at the question of creativity from wide areas and City's chance-creation, given they had a lot of the ball and not a lot to show for it. With those dropped points, they discuss what it will take between now and May to qualify for next season's top European competition. Brighton are the visitors to the Etihad on Saturday, looking for their first ever league double over City... How can Pep Guardiola's side stop that from happening and stop another team in the top four (or five) race from going ahead in the table? Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls explains what to expect from the away side, too. Tickets are again in the spotlight, following the 1894 Group's huge survey of fans on ticketing issues - and there's also the retirement of Alvaro Negredo to consider. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

They focus on Nico O'Reilly's display, as his brace made the difference, plus they look at the FA Cup draw, City's chances in the competition and how important that Club World Cup could be. With Nottingham Forest coming up, we hear from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller, as they go into this weekend's game a point ahead of City in the battle for the top four. We also reflect on one of the most egregious pieces of cheating, which happened 35 years ago this week - as we hear from Andy Dibble about a goal he conceded at The City Ground in 1990. Plus, we're expecting the verdict on the Premier League charges "imminently" - we look at the story and the nuts and bolts of how it's being covered (and if anything can be read into that), as judgement day nears. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

They look at how the new signings are settling in - especially Abdukodir Khusanov - and how they have helped the performances this week. Plus, they look at the VAR decision NOT to award Erling Haaland's second goal at Spurs and the protocols behind why it wasn't given. With all-conquering Plymouth up next in the FA Cup, we hear from Aaron Hocking from Argyle Life. He explains what to expect from The Pilgrims on Saturday, as they look to make City their third Premier League victims of their cup run. Former City striker Robert Taylor is also on the show - he's discussing playing AGAINST City for Gillingham at Wembley in 1999, before switching to Maine Road as City pushed for back-to-back promotions. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After perhaps the best performance of the season against Newcastle and perhaps the worst performance of the season against Real Madrid, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from BBC Radio Manchester, Mike Minay to assess the week. They discuss the Jekyll-and-Hyde style displays of the season so far (as they continue to search for pop culture metaphors), while they look at the impact of the new signings so far, and what could come between now and May. With Liverpool and Spurs on the cards for this week, they discuss what the state of play is given how both teams have their own little issues at the moment too... and whether City have it in the tank to exploit those or if Pep Guardiola's side are just too unpredictable. Former City midfielder Danny Tiatto speaks to the show about his time at Maine Road - taking in back-to-back promotions, playing under Joe Royle and Kevin Keegan, and red cards aplenty. Plus there's the best City consolation goals and the best 'Typical City' moments. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

These things are becoming ten-a-penny now, so joining David Mooney to review the latest one is Adam Carter, from StatCity.co.uk, and Paul Hirst, from The Times. There were some positives from the performance against Real Madrid on Tuesday, but were they all undone by the nature of the ending? Plus, it's not all bad as a favourable FA Cup draw followed a solid win at Leyton Orient... It's probably best to take the victories where you can this season. With Newcastle up next in the league and the race to make the top four getting tighter, we take a look at that game and how much Pep Guardiola has to balance with the second leg in the Bernabeu also in the next midweek. Where should the focus lie and how much energy needs to go into each match? After seven fan groups wrote an open letter to the club about ticket prices and ticket policy, we also look at that situation - and hear from representatives from some of the groups to hear their concerns. And... on top of all of that... what did you make of the 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' tifo...? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from One Football, Dan Burke, to discuss the horror show at The Emirates on Sunday. How did Manchester City go from a position of being competitive in the game to being absolutely battered? Can they stop it happening again? And what was made of all of the celebrations afterwards? With Leyton Orient to come, we hear from Paul and Steve from Orient Outlook to preview the FA Cup tie. Then, with Real Madrid coming to the Etihad in the Champions League playoff round, Madrid fan Oscar Garcia speaks to us about how their season is going so far. We also assess the transfer business now that the winter window is closed - and we also hear from another David Mooney, this time the one who made his name in the football league playing for Leyton Orient. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from the Daily Mail, Jack Gaughan, to discuss all of the events of the wins over Chelsea and Club Brugge. With Pep Guardiola giving two new signings a debut from the start of the game against Chelsea (and that's the first time that's happened since 2017), we sit down with Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk, plus City fan Richard Burns, and journalist Dom Farrell to talk through some memorable City debuts. The reverse fixture with Arsenal is coming up after the shenanigans at the end of the previous meeting... will that have any impact on the game, given City's fall from the title race?

Is there any good feeling left after walloping Ipswich or did the 4-2 defeat at PSG make it all evaporate? With Chelsea and Club Brugge on the horizon, City are fighting for the Champions League lives AND qualification for next season's competition with their top four position... Dan Childs from Son of Chelsea gives us insight into their season so far, while Scott Coyne from the Belgian Football Podcast explains how Brugge are doing (spoiler alert: quite well). After the sad news of Denis Law's death this week, we replay the interview we did with him in 2014 to hear his memories of his two moves to City and what his experience was like at Maine Road and in Manchester. Plus, with three transfers confirmed, how involved could Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov or Omar Marmoush be this weekend? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After the 8-0 thrashing of Salford City and the 2-2 draw with Brentford, David Mooney is joined by football historian Dr Gary James and City fan Andy MacNab to reflect on the two performances. Despite the result in West London, was the display better than in previous matches recently? After the sad news of the death of City legend Tony Book, we replay the interview we did with him from May 2011 and we discuss his legacy at the club. With Ipswich and PSG on the horizon, we hear from Rich from The Suffolk Crunch and from Ed from PSG Talk to find out how both of City's next opponents are getting on at the moment. And we also discuss the most traitorous City player... ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a strangely unconvincing 4-1 win over West Ham, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss the good and the bad of the afternoon. They look at the nerves and tetchiness inside the stadium towards the end (and everything that was said about it). On top of that, Jack Grealish has been under the microscope this week after Pep Guardiola's post-match comments. They discuss his future and legacy at the Etihad after what the manager had to say. We hear from Danny from the Salford City podcast One Up Front, while Mike from the Brentford podcast Ealing Road drops by to chat about the upcoming match on Tuesday. Sam Rosbottom also talks us through every time City have faced a League Two team since that division's rebrand in 2004. Chuck in some silly chat about our favourite defeats this season and the best goals scored by the players with the shortest names and you've got yourself a podcast. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Happy New Year, everybody! Manchester City finished 2024 with a win at Leicester, can they start 2025 with a win over West Ham? Those are the two games that are in focus for City fans Ciaran Murray and KC, who join David Mooney for today's show. As Pep Guardiola makes it to 500 games in charge of City, we hear from football historian Dr Gary James. He's discussing the legacy of the only other City manager that hit that milestone, Les McDowall - talking through what he achieved at Maine Road and putting Guardiola's achievements into that historical context. The January transfer window is now open, so we take a look at what business we'd like City to do, with the squad showing signs of tiredness and suffering from a number of injuries. We also take a look at all the deals done by the club in the winter since the introduction of the transfer window system. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

There's injuries, a lack of creativity, and problems with confidence as known issues - but how much further can this go? With Leicester away on the horizon, they look ahead to that match and try to work out just what can be done to try and inspire some good feeling around the place one again. For the final podcast of 2024, Ciaran Murray and KC sit down to discuss the alternative highlights of the first half of the season. What are the bits that you didn't know you needed to remember from last June to the final week of the year? We have a look at some more conventional highlights of the year, too, and, as Jesus Navas retires, we discuss his City legacy and his beautiful, piercing blue eyes. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Did the defeat - and the manner of it - cross a line? How much further can the bad form go? We spend the show looking for light relief - and we've done it by slipping back into wistful nostalgia. We hear from the former City midfielder Georgi Kinkladze, as he speaks to the show about his three seasons at Maine Road. With Aston Villa and Everton on the horizon, we hear from Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler and from Dave Downie from The Blue Room, who both explain how their seasons have been going to this point. Can City stop the rot or are they basically limping along until the January transfer window? Plus, with an idea shamelessly stolen from a bigger podcast, who is the best City player from several different (recent) eras of the club? We discuss the candidates for each period, going back to the promotions in 1999 and 2000. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After Manchester City's first win since October, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss such a momentous occasion. From the win over Nottingham Forest, there's a look at Jack Grealish in the middle, Stefan Ortega as the number one, and the value of the non-Erling Haaland players getting amongst the goals again. They also reflect on the 2-0 defeat at Anfield and examine the talking points that came from the game, including Guardiola's six-finger gesture and the make-up of the away end at Liverpool. Nick from the Man City Fans Foodbank Support group updates us on what happened with their planned joint-action with Liverpool fans and the FSA, with the Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign. Plus, we hear from the former City winger Mark Kennedy, who is discussing his two seasons at Maine Road, taking in all the highs and lows - including the part he played in promotion at Blackburn and the circumstances that led to his departure in 2001. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a chastening experience in the games with Tottenham and Feyenoord, David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and Football365's Sarah Winterburn to look at how Manchester City can stop the rot. It's Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, so things aren't getting any easier any time soon - Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap joins the show to discuss that game at the weekend, while we also hear from journalist and Nottingham Forest fan Nick Miller about the Wednesday night game coming up at the Etihad. Both the Liverpool and Forest games will be City's designated Rainbow Laces matches, so we also hear from a range of LGBTQ+ fans about their experiences at the football. Former City goalkeeper and now City fan Andie Worrall, who is a gay woman, and supporters Oli McCoole, who is bisexual and trans, and Sam White, who is a gay man, discuss attitudes in the Etihad and on social media. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After the news that Pep Guardiola is going to extend his contract at Manchester City, David Mooney is joined by fans Richard Burns and Rachel Herdson to discuss what a boost it will be. The Athletic's Sam Lee, who broke the story, explains what's happening and what should happen later this week. Jack from Rule the Roost speaks to the show to give us insight into what's happening with Tottenham at the moment, while Luuk from the Kein Geloel podcast explains what to expect from Feyenoord. On Sunday, Taylor Harwood-Bellis became the 19th player to score for their country after graduating from the City academy, when he found the net for England against the Republic of Ireland. We've put Dan Burke to task to take a look at the previous 18. We're also discussing our favourite 'non-obvious' pre- and post-takeover games and goals. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and by City fan Joe Butterfield to assess the damage and deal with the fallout from the disappointment (that a lot of people saw coming!). How badly are Pep Guardiola's hands tied at the moment with all the injuries? And how much is this autumn blip like previous autumn blips? The Athletic's noticer-in-chief, Jon Mackenzie, joins the show to analyse the issues City have right now, beyond all the injuries. City ruined another one of David's birthdays this week (and, coincidentally Adam and Joe's birthdays, too) - so we hear from some of the podcast regulars about times when City have made birthday celebrations uncomfortable viewing. Plus some discussion on player of the season so far, City-leaning TV pundits, and players we had been really excited about but who never lived up to expectation. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

It's probably fair to say that Manchester City have had better weeks... David Mooney is joined by City fan KC and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to try and work out what went wrong at both Bournemouth and Sporting. Why have transitions become such a problem, even more than they were earlier in the season? Do City need to be better creating chances and do others need to help Erling Haaland with the goals? Why are they losing control of games in crucial spells? All of that in the show. In losing to Bournemouth, City's longest Premier League unbeaten record came to an end - so which teams are left that have never won against City in the Premier League and which teams did City take the longest to get the better of in the division? Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk provides the answers. With Brighton on the horizon, The Athletic's Brighton correspondent, Andy Naylor, speaks to the show to tell us about their start to the season. And with the US election dominating the news, Joey and Mulv from the Noisy Neighbours podcast join the show for a chat about American presidents and City links. Plus, do City need a decision on Guardiola's future soon? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Following the Carabao Cup exit to Spurs, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell. They look at a crazy week that started with a forgettable (but important) victory over Southampton and ended with a positive (if fruitless) showing from the youngsters at Tottenham... taking in some Ballon D'Or madness in the middle. There's a bit of an injury crisis going on for Pep Guardiola's side, too. Manuel Akanji and Savinho were added to the list of the stricken in midweek, which could make an already-trick trip to Bournemouth even trickier. We hear from Bournemouth fan and writer, Rob Santonna, to find out more about the Cherries. Plus, this week, Manchester United have sacked another manager... Are they beginning to look a little like City from the 1990s and how could all of that play out? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After the last-gasp win at Wolves and the comprehensive victory over Sparta Prague, David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and Manchester World's Michael Plant to discuss the events of both games. City have had some issues breaking down a back five recently - and Guardiola has launched a new tactic this week: Do nothing. Literally. So we'll look into that and how effective that could be in the future, plus the former City defender Nedum Onuoha gives his thoughts on how to attack when a team is trying to limit the available space so much. We're taking a bigger-picture view of City this week, too. We hear from the MEN's Simon Bajkowski, whose new book 'The Blueprint' looks at how City got themselves into a position to thrive under Pep Guardiola and how the club have put plans in place across the board to become the best in the world. (Plus, you could win a copy of the book - details in the show) On top of all of that, we look ahead to the games with Southampton and Tottenham - and we look at Rodri's chances of winning the Ballon D'Or at the ceremony on Monday. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

As the domestic and European football returns, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and the presenter with FourFourTwo and City fan Adam Monk to preview the games with Wolves and Sparta Prague. Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves discusses how things are going at Molineux after a less-than-ideal start to the season, while Mike Samir from the Vládci Prahy podcast gives us insight into what to expect from Sparta Prague. We also speak to film-maker Gemma Jordan - she's the daughter of the former City defender Dave Watson and she's raising money to complete a documentary about her dad's life, his career and his battle with dementia. If you'd like to donate to the film, you can do that here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dave-watson-documentary And, with Thomas Tuchel announced as the new England coach following speculation that Pep Guardiola might be the FA's target, what does that mean for the manager's future at City? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

A big week of news for an international break! David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and by City fan Paul Atherton to look back over the game with Fulham and the performance in what turned out to be a bit of a nervy afternoon. Are Fulham just good in transition or should City be able to do better to control those sorts of games? We get into that. Earlier this week, we had the full judgement in the case between City and the Premier League over Associated Party Transactions. What does it all mean? Football finance expert Kieran Maguire speaks to the show to explain what's happened and what might happen next. The former City goalkeeper David Seaman speaks to the show about his time at Eastlands and working with Kevin Keegan. What did he enjoy? What did he find difficult after a long and distinguished career at Arsenal? It also looks like the Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, will be leaving the club at the end of the season, so we also look at the potential impacts and ramifications of that change. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After the 1-1 draw with Newcastle and the 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava, David Mooney is joined by City fans KC and Bob Toole to discuss Manchester City's approach and performances across the too games. Was Pep Guardiola too cautious at St James's Park? Were the team too wasteful in Slovakia? The new Champions League group format has given rise to one-off fixtures against various teams, so Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk has been running the numbers and looks at the 11 sides that City have played once (and ONLY once) in competition. With Fulham on the horizon, we take a look ahead to that game - with the help of Sammy James from the Fulhamish podcast - and look at how the manager might approach another side that likes to play in transition. What can Guardiola do to plug the Rodri-shaped hole in the middle? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

It's been an eventful week... David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to try and sort out everything that's happened in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw with Arsenal and the 2-1 win over Watford. Dan Burke runs through everything that's been said from both camps after the Arsenal match, while we take a look at the 'dark arts', following the tetchy end to the match. Then there's Rodri's injury - did we get any clues how that issue can be covered over the last two fixtures? The Athletic's data maestro, Duncan Alexander, speaks to the show about the ridiculous record that Erling Haaland has since he arrived at City, while we also hear from Pod on the Tyne panelist and Athletic journalist Chris Waugh about Newcastle's start to the new season. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Two tough games for Manchester City this week, following the 2-1 turnaround win over Brentford and the 0-0 draw with Inter Milan. David Mooney is joined by City fan and presenter with FourFourTwo, Adam Monk, and by The Athletic's Mark Critchley to discuss the performances in those two matches. City faced Inter while wearing change colours at home... That's not as unusual as you might think. We speak to the football historian, Dr Gary James, to hear more about the times it has happened in the past. With a tricky tie with Arsenal coming up on Sunday, Gunners fan Michael Keshani joins the show to look at what they might do with Martin Ødegaard unavailable and in light of how both teams approached these fixtures last season.  Plus, with a tight turnaround between that game at the Carabao Cup tie with Watford, Ciaran Murray's been taking a look at the issues around the schedule.  ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Another Erling Haaland hat-trick, another three points for Manchester City and top of the table at the international break makes it a perfect start to the 2024-25 season. David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and, from the Hits 21 podcast, Rob Wilson, to reflect on the victory at West Ham. With Haaland's latest hat-trick taking him closer to Sergio Aguero's club and Premier League record - and it making City the team with the most Premier League hat-tricks - Dan Burke, Dom Farrell and KC all give their memories of their favourite City hat-tricks down the years. The ticket prices for the Inter Milan game have been announced, too, with quite a few upset at how much they'll cost. We discuss that - plus wider ticketing issues - and we squeeze in a couple of Guardiola-era top threes. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fan Richard Burns and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to discuss the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. They're focusing on Erling Haaland, after his hat-trick and the continuation of his incredible record, and on Ilkay Gundogan, as he makes his second debut for the club. Ipswich were the 100th visitor to the Etihad Stadium since it opened in 2003, so we take a look at City's records - both good and bad - against the 99 other opponents they've faced. James Jones from We Are West Ham drops in to help us preview the upcoming trip to the London Stadium - and we look at Guardiola's options on the wings, with the form of Jeremy Doku and Savinho, as Jack Grealish looks for chances to impress. We also focus on Rico Lewis and his start to the new season. On top of that, following the sad news that the former City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson passed away this week, we dedicate the end of the show to remembering his time in the Eastlands dugout. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After Manchester City's opening day win at Stamford Bridge, David Mooney is joined by Dan Burke from One Football and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the game. Who were the standout performers against Chelsea and how did City solve the no-Rodri problem so well? We take a look at Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis and Bernardo Silva in particular. It looks like Ilkay Gundogan could be returning, too, so we look at how his arrival could affect the options in the squad and the make-up of Pep Guardiola's team selections. It's Ipswich Town next - and the first meeting in the league between the teams since they relegated City from the Premier League in 2001. Mooney explains why, around that time, he utterly despised the club... and we discover if he's managed to let go of those old hang-ups with Rich from The Suffolk Crunch, who also tells us all about what to expect from Kieran McKenna's side on Saturday. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

We speak to Howard Cohen, chair of the Disabled Supporters Association, after blue badge holders were told unexpectedly that it would now cost them per game to park at the Etihad this season.

Supporter Keith Hancock tells us about one extraordinary time in Denmark when he ended up on the bench alongside the players. And with the Olympics in Paris still going on, we hear about the only City player ever to win an Olympic medal in a sport that wasn't football.
