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.

The UEFA Champions League is heating up, and all eyes are on Paris Saint-Germain as they prepare for a pivotal showdown with Manchester City. With both clubs needing a win to boost their chances of advancing to the knockout stage, all eyes will be on this match to see which super club slips up.On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by David Mooney, host of the Blue Moon Podcast, to preview the highly anticipated match. We dive into the form of both teams, the key players to watch, and why this could be a make-or-break moment for PSG and Manchester City.We kick things off by discussing the stakes for both clubs. As David points out, Manchester City's season has been uncharacteristically inconsistent. Sitting mid-table in the Premier League and struggling in Europe, City's injuries and squad fatigue have exposed vulnerabilities. David highlights key issues like the team's reliance on Erling Haaland, who's been starved of service, and a defense ravaged by injuries.For PSG, the situation isn't much better. Despite notable improvements in transfer strategy and squad building under Luis Enrique, the team's performances have been inconsistent. We talk about PSG's reliance on their creative players to supply Gonçalo Ramos and how the defense must step up to contain City's attacking threats.We also get into how PSG's recent shift toward a more methodical, long-term approach mirrors Manchester City's strategy under Pep Guardiola. David shares insights into how City's success has been built on consistency in management and a focus on developing players for specific roles—something PSG is now trying to emulate.Finally, we get David's prediction and why he thinks this will be a high-scoring affair.As always, thank you for listening.

David Mooney from The Blue Moon Podcast joins Mike to preview Manchester City's visit to the Gtech on Tuesday night. Brentford bowed out of the FA Cup following a shock third round defeat to bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth Argyle, but Thomas Frank's side have the chance to bounce back against a Man City side that are far from their formidable best. What's gone wrong at City this season? Where do they need to strengthen in January? And will Frank opt for the same gameplan that almost saw Brentford get another famous result at The Etihad in the reverse fixture at the start of the campaign? Learn more about your ad choices.

Manchester City superfan and radio host David Mooney joins the show this week to preview West Ham's clash against the champions. Julen Lopetegui is on a roll, guiding the Hammers to two wins in the last two along with back-to-back clean sheets.

The Blue Moon Podcast is back for the 2024-25 season. Joining David Mooney is, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter, and Manchester City fan Ally Fogg to preview the new season. We start with a look back over the pre-season tour of the USA and its standout performers. Could Oscar Bobb, James McAtee or Nico O'Reilly have an impact in the first team in these opening weeks? We also look at the shape of the squad, as Julian Alvarez departs for Atletico Madrid. 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. Pre-season might not be your bag, but in years gone by it used to be the only way to watch City against foreign opposition. 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. Mick Collins, who wrote a biography of the player, talks to us about Max Woosnam. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

West Ham go to Man City with almost the entire non-Gooner London population, including some Hammers fans, wanting them to lose to deny Arsenal the title. David Mooney from The Blue Moon podcast joins Will to discuss that notion plus the idea that Man City's record fourth consecutive Premier League title, and any future and previous success is tainted by the financially manufactured way it has been procured. The Hammers are set to finish ninth and will say goodbye to David Moyes at the Etihad after a historic spell as manager with the future unknown and fans still split. And it's left all of us feeling different types of emotional and uncertain about what the future holds. Thanks for listening this season and we hope you will stay with us for the next campaign.

Manchester City made a tricky game with Wolves look simple on Saturday, so can they do that again when they visit Fulham and Spurs this week?

It's hard to find anyone more knowledgeable – or passionate – about the ins and outs of life at the Etihad than David Mooney. The broadcaster's Blue Moon Podcast has been running since 2009, and is one of the most definitive voices on all things Manchester City - and it's fair to say he's had plenty to talk about over the time he's been doing those shows! So, it was high time to get him onto our podcast to talk about his story as a broadcaster, and get some top tales from away from the mic as well. Honestly, it's hard to know how to sum this one up – part nostalgia-fest, part podcast-geekdom, and partly an authentic and honest look at coming out – other than to say it's just a treat to listen to. Even if you don't follow City, you will love this conversation – and we're so grateful David took the time to join us for this.

Paul Lake talks through his injuries at Manchester City and his attempted comebacks across two interviews with the Blue Moon Podcast. First, in 2009, he told David Mooney what happened and what he went through - and when the pair caught up again in 2011, he talked about his newly published book.

Player-managers aren't really a thing in football anymore. Back in the mid-1990s, when on the hunt for a new boss, Manchester City promoted tough-tackling midfielder Peter Reid to the dugout while he was still a member of the first team squad. With limited experience, Reid took the bull by the horns and got the Blues playing some excellent and entertaining football - until he was later replaced by Brian Horton and went on to resume his playing career elsewhere. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2011. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
When he was signed by Manchester City, Uwe Rosler was an unknown quantity. Having taken a chance on him, the club were repaid with exciting forward play - and a blossoming partnership with Paul Walsh for the striker at Maine Road. But as the Blues went through turbulent times, Rosler could never re-capture his early form and help save the team from slipping out of the top two divisions. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2013 to go through his time with City - and what it was like as a German in England in the 1990s. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's perhaps every Manchester City fan's dream to represent the club - but very few actually get the opportunity. Rae Ingram is one of an elite club who have managed it. He came through the ranks with the Blues in the 1990s, but was never really able to hold down a regular place in the side. After moving on from Maine Road, his career was cut short by two serious illnesses - as he suffered both Meningitis and suspected ME. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney has been speaking to the former defender to get his memories of his playing days. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
How difficult is it to be a player with a big price tag? It's a feeling that ex-Manchester City midfielder Steve Daley knows all too well - he couldn't settle at Maine Road after his £1.4m English record transfer from Wolves, in 1979. The Observer newspaper later dubbed him "the biggest waste of money in football history" after his spell ended with him failing to establish himself with the Blues. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney about the pressure he was under to deliver the good - and how things seemed to just get harder and harder. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
Manchester City fans can recognise that, down the years, the club has had a long string of successful and legendary goalkeepers. Joe Corrigan came through the ranks at Maine Road in the late 1960s, going on to establish himself as the team's Number One as the club went on to domestic and European success. He's the player with the second-most number of appearances for City, behind only Alan Oakes, pulling on the goalkeeper jersey almost 600 times across 16 years. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with him in 2012. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
Some players end up on the receiving end of stick from supporters for no real reason. In 2000-01, Richard Edghill was the unfortunate player who copped for far more criticism than his displays deserved, as Manchester City struggling in the Premier League. He was a club stalwart - having scored a remarkable penalty in the 1999 Division Two play-off final and been with the team through thick and thin before it. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City defender in 2013 to get his memories of his long career at Maine Road. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Born in Manchester, Adie Mike grew up in the city before joining the youth academy - then the Centre of Excellence - at Platt Lane. He progressed to Manchester City's first team in the early 1990s, but failed to nail down a regular spot despite scoring a couple of Premier League goals in his 16 appearances. After leaving football, he branched out into becoming a personal trainer and studying law - as well as founding a private jet company. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former striker to find out more back in 2014. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Growing up, most Manchester City fans will have harboured dreams of playing for the club. For the vast majority, those dreams remain just that - but for Trevor Sinclair, they became a reality. Signed by Kevin Keegan in 2003, he had a four-year spell at Eastlands, which featured ups and downs - including a couple of Manchester Derby goals. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City winger to discuss his time at the club and get his memories of playing under both Keegan and his replacement, Stuart Pearce.

There are some names that go hand-in-hand with the captaincy of the club. When you say "iconic Manchester City skipper", one of those names that will spring straight to mind is Keith Curle. Signed from Wimbledon in 1991, the defender quickly proved a hit at Maine Road for his tough tackling, ability to play from the back and his leadership. He would later return with Wolves after being sold following City's relegation from the Premier League in 1996. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with the former City centre-back to get his memories of that time. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
Often seen as something of a comic character, few can really deny that Garry Cook had a big influence on Manchester City. Never far away from the headlines, the former CEO was instrumental in bringing Sheikh Mansour's investment to Eastlands - as well as signing several players that would go on to lead the club to glory under Roberto Mancini. However, he was forced to resign after a scandal over emails he had sent over the seriously ill mother of Nedum Onuoha. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney had a full and frank chat with the ex-CEO in 2015. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
Despite being very much a Scotsman, Willie Donachie began life as a footballer in England with Manchester City. He came through the ranks a tough-tackling, no-nonsense defender, eventually breaking into the team in 1970 - having been around the first team set-up since the late 1960s. After a glittering career with the club as a player, he'd later return as part of Joe Royle's backroom staff and became a key figure in the club's rise back to the Premier League after years in the doldrums. He spoke to the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney in 2017. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
Who scored the winning goal in the most exciting FA Cup comeback in the competition's history? Of course, Manchester City fans will have no hesitation in saying Jon Macken - his header in the closing stages secured a 3-4 win with Kevin Keegan's ten-man City side at White Hart Lane, when they'd been 3-0 down at half time. His career with the Blues was very stop-start, as injuries curtailed his appearances - but he certainly made an impact in some important matches. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney caught up with him in 2011. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
After retiring, Manchester City's current stars won't have to worry too much about how they'll pay the bills. However, for generations in the past, that wasn't the case - and for Paul Moulden (pictured here playing for Oldham), who was with the Blues for five years until 1989, it was a surprising change of direction. After hanging up his boots in 1999, the striker - who had broken records at youth level before joining City - moved into the fast food industry, opening Paul's Chippy. The Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney went to sample his fish and chips. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
David Mooney is joined by many of the Blue Moon Podcast regulars to reflect on that iconic moment against QPR a decade ago. We hear behind-the-scenes stories from some of the people involved that day, we get the reaction of the ex-City players who were on the pitch for QPR for that game, and we all reminisce on what's now a very different era.
