fWotD Episode 3355: History of Liverpool F.C. (1985–present) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 12 July 2026, is History of Liverpool F.C. (1985–present).The history of Liverpool Football Club from 1985 to the present day covers the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager, the Hillsborough disaster, and the club's return to European competition in 1991. Throughout this period, the club played in the top tier of English football, which in 1992 became the Premier League.Dalglish was appointed as player-manager after Joe Fagan resigned following the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, which resulted in Liverpool's indefinite ban from European competition. Liverpool won a league and FA Cup double in Dalglish's first season, and won a further league title in 1987–88. The Hillsborough disaster, which occurred during an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium in April 1989, resulted in the deaths of 97 of the club's supporters. After the disaster, Dalglish led the club to their eighteenth title in 1989–90; he resigned in February 1991. The Taylor Report into the disaster recommended the end of standing terraces; to comply with its findings, Anfield was converted to an all-seater stadium during the early 1990s, which greatly reduced its capacity. Dalglish's successor Graeme Souness won the FA Cup in his first full season. In the newly formed Premier League, he struggled to sustain the club's domestic successes and was replaced by Roy Evans midway through 1993–94. Liverpool improved to fourth the following season and won the League Cup.In 1998, Gérard Houllier was appointed co-manager alongside Evans. The arrangement lasted until November when Evans resigned and Houllier became the sole manager. The club won a unique treble of trophies in 2001, and a year later finished second to Arsenal, their highest league finish in 11 years. Houllier departed the club in mid-2004. Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League for the fifth time in Rafael Benítez's debut season, and he guided the club to a further FA Cup success in 2006. Midway through the 2006–07 season, the club was bought by Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett. At the start of the 2010–11 season, Liverpool were on the verge of bankruptcy; the club was sold to New England Sports Ventures following a high court ruling. Roy Hodgson, who took over from Benítez, left the club in 2011; Dalglish was again placed in charge of team affairs and won the 2012 League Cup, Liverpool's eighth win in the competition.Dalglish was replaced by Brendan Rodgers after the team finished eighth in the 2011–12 Premier League. Rodgers guided Liverpool to second in 2013–14, but board disagreements over transfers and poor team performances led to his sacking in October 2015. His replacement, Jürgen Klopp, has led the club to a resurgence in form as they appeared in consecutive Champions League finals, winning the latter in 2019 to earn a sixth European Cup ending a seven-year trophy drought. The following season, he guided the team to the 2019–20 Premier League title, the club's first league title in 30 years and the first under the Premier League format.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Sunday, 12 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see History of Liverpool F.C.

The season kick off is upon us – can Dundee and United navigate their way through the League Cup group stage?  United start at Stirling Albion on Saturday – is Will Ferry going to feature?  And why it's less of the United nations at Tannadice.  Dundee, meanwhile, are very much short of bodies – most notably at centre-back.  Will they have any signings in by the weekend?  And what is going on with Zan Besir?  The A-team is on duty with host Sean Hamilton joined by Alan Temple, George Cran and Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

30 years ago – in July 1996 - the Lisbon Lions stand was opened at Celtic Park, continuing the ground's redevelopment.There are four stands at Celtic Park: the main stand, North Stand, Lisbon Lions stand and Jock Stein stand. Each time one these has been opened, matches have been held to celebrate this.The original Celtic Park opened in 1888 before 1892 when the Bhoys moved the short distance to the second site, which remains the location where the Celts play.Over the years, the look of this venue has changed significantly, with many stands and structures being built and then knocked down, and in the case of the original pavilion, burned down as happened in 1929.If looking at the current Parkhead, the history of this can be traced back to 1971, when the main stand was built, although the foundations of this are much older.The oldest of Celtic's stands is the main stand. Work on this began in 1970 and was eventually completed in 1971. It ran behind schedule which led to one very strange scenario.By 14 August 1971, the League Cup campaign had begun but Celtic could not yet play at home due to the building works. This meant that their match versus Rangers had to be played at Ibrox – but with Celtic as the home team, and Celtic season tickets being valid!11 days later, the main stand was finally ready for use. In terms of opening games for this new facility, there are two relevant fixtures. The first of these came in the League Cup on 25 August. Morton travelled to Celtic Park and the main stand was now open for fans.To say the least, this was a less than auspicious occasion to mark the stand's maiden game. Despite getting a penalty – which was missed by Kenny Dalglish – the Celts fell to a 1-0 defeat. Although Celtic still made it through to the final, they famously lost 4-1 to Partick Thistle.However, this Morton fixture was not the main stand's official opening event. Instead, that took place a week when Nacional from Uruguay were the glamour opponents invited to mark the occasion.60,000 supporters were in Celtic Park, with the main stand being ticket-only and sold out. They watched on as Celtic legend Jimmy McGrory – the club's all-time top scorer and former manager – performed the official ceremony.This was a much brighter moment as the Hoops won 3-0 to officially christen the new stand with victory. Although there were also complaints from the Scottish League who were upset at the game being played during the season, despite the Scottish FA agreeing to this.In the following decades, little major reconstruction work took place at Celtic Park. By the early-1990s, this left the club facing a major problem. The Hillsborough tragedy had led to a demand that all football stadiums be all-seated.In this era, Celtic faced major financial problems and simply did not have the money to build such a venue. Pipe dreams of moving to Cambuslang soon disappeared. Eventually, this led to Fergus McCann's takeover, after which there was rapid building progress at Celtic Park.In the 1994-95 season, the Bhoys vacated their usual home and instead played at Hampden. Whilst they were away, Celtic Park was razed to the ground, except for the main stand. Building work soon followed at a cost of £17 million.In place of the old Jungle section of the ground, a massive new North Stand was built. Quite simply, this towered over what had been the former ground. Also, with seats for 27,000 supporters, this was one of the biggest stands in Britain.By 1995, everything looked brighter again for Celtic. The takeover had long since been completed, the Bhoys had held a successful share issue to raise much needed funds and, most importantly, the club's first silverware since 1989 sat in the Parkhead trophy room.In addition, the North Stand was now finished and ready for an official opening. On a gala day on 5 August 1995, fans got their first experience of this new venue.A sell-out crowd turned up in Glasgow's east end, with the brilliant sunshine capturing the general mood of optimism. Rod Stewart did the official honours at the ribbon-cutting to open the North Stand, before a friendly match was held.Celtic's opponents were Newcastle United, with a team full of stars including David Ginola and Peter Beardsley. They all helped entertain the supporters in a 1-1 draw. John Collins got the first goal in front of the new stand, thanks to a 30th minute penalty, before Les Ferdinand's second half equaliser proved to be the last scoring of the match.Now that one part of Fergus McCann's new construction was complete, it would not be long before more building work took place. Behind the west stand – or old Celtic end – a temporary stand was erected, but this was only a short-term solution.One year on, there was yet another new stand to be opened. And like in 1971, there were two relevant matches when it came to doing this.Throughout the 1995-96 season, more building work had taken place at the east end of the ground, on the site of what had previously been referred to as the ‘Rangers end'. Now this stand was complete and ready for action.On 31 July 1996, another English team made their way north of the border. This time it was Arsenal's turn to experience the new Celtic Park, but it was also the first time for Celtic fans too.Another sell-out crowd – this time with 47,300 fans – were in the ground. They witnessed a 2-1 win for the home side. In fact, Arsenal led for most of the match thanks to a Lee Dixon goal, but two very late strikes from Simon Donnelly and Phil O'Donnell ensured a green-and-white win.Despite Arsenal being high-profile visitors, this match was not the official opening of the stand. Instead, this took place a few days later.On 3 August 1996, Billy Connolly this time was given the opening honours. Wearing a standout green suit, the Glasgow comedian officially opened the new east stand, before a clash of the hoops where Celtic played Sporting Lisbon.This match showed the best and worst of Celtic in this era. The Celts looked good going forward and enjoyed a two-goal advantage thanks to goals from Jorge Cadete – playing against his old club – and Simon Donnelly.However, with ten minutes remaining, this good work was undone in little more than a minute. As the clock struck 80, Luis Filipe halved the deficit. And very shortly after this, the unfortunate John Hughes knocked into his own net, to seal a 2-2 draw.In fact, you can argue that this stand has had three official openings. The first two came in 1996 when the building work was first done. The next happened four years later, but this time without any building changes.Instead, the event in the year 2000 concerned a change of name. The stand was simply referred to as the east stand, although some fans referred to it using the old ‘Rangers end' adage. But now Celtic wanted to use the venue to honour the club's greatest side.It was agreed that the east stand would be officially christened the ‘Lisbon Lions' stand in celebration of all those players who contributed to European Cup glory in 1967. This was in response to a public vote in the choice of name, with Fergus McCann being runner-up.On 1 February 2000, Bayern Munich came to Celtic Park. In front of a less than full Celtic Park, the Germans claimed a 2-1 victory. In truth, it was an unimportant game, and it was one that almost did not happen.The previous Saturday, high winds had damaged some of the stadium, including the new stand. This had forced the postponement of Celtic's Scottish Cup clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The weather eventually calmed down enough to fix the roof and let the Bayern game go ahead.But, of course, when it came to replay the Scottish Cup tie, the Celts were left wishing that the weather had again stopped this. Famously, ‘Super Caley went ballistic' and knocked the hoops out of the cup, considered to be one of Celtic's worst ever results.In fact, when the Lisbon Lions stand received its official name, the full ground was now complete. After the east stand was finished in 1996, attentions turned to adding the final piece of the Celtic Park jigsaw.Where the temporary stand had stood at the west end of the ground, construction began. By 1998, this was finished and ready to be opened for fans to use. The completed 60,000 stadium was an impressive sight; the biggest football ground in Scotland.Once more, two matches were involved in the opening of this new stand. On the face of it, the first game played in front of fans should have been a major moment. As well as a fully rebuilt stadium, the Celts were in the qualifiers of the Champions League for the first time since it was rebranded from the European Cup.On 22 July 1998, Dublin side St Patrick's Athletic came to Celtic Park. 56,864 were in the ground. They watched an utterly lacklustre match which ended 0-0. There were even boos as the team left the pitch at full-time, although Celtic did at least go on to win the second leg.This disappointing fixture was not the official opening though. Instead, that took place just over two weeks later. Liverpool were the latest team from England to open a Celtic Park stand.Before the match began, there was a poignant ceremony. This latest stand was to be named after Jock Stein, the man who had led Celtic to Europe's pinnacle. His wife Jean opened the stand, and she was joined by most of the Lisbon Lions, who showed off their famous trophy.This time it was a sell-out and 59,727 supporters crammed into the ground, a sight which has become common in the years since. They did not get to cheer a goal as the Merseyside men claimed a 1-0 win, but Celtic knew they were on the upward track.The changing face of Celtic Park has been truly remarkable, including the surrounding areas. For now, the ground has a fixed feel to it although there are always demands from supporters for further changes, including another tier being added to the main stand.In addition, there are regular fan discussions about whether more names should be added to the ground; figures such as Brother Walfrid or Fergus McCann are usually promoted in relation to this.Whichever stand you sit in at Celtic Park, it is one that has been witness to so many memorable moments in the club's history. The club's home since 1892, it's one place that you know where there's going to be a show.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

It's been almost a month, and Archie, Chris, Mark and Tom are together after a game for the generations, and to try and talk about Argyle.Where else to start but a magical night (or early morning) for England in the Azteca? In one of those games that grabbed hold of you and refused to let go, the conversation moves through the MORON who claimed not to be excited and who couldn't sleep when it was finished, the world-class talent, the tactical astuteness of the coach, the agony and the ecstasy of added time. Where does the game rank in all-time England performances? What could come next? How has the World Cup landed in the USA? Has there been a better example of thriving under pressure? What will the score be against the rowing Norwegians? So much has been said and written about the game that we have added nothing new, but it was a joyous experience to record. And we managed to avoid politics, almost…Part two looks forward to a new season that will be here before we know it. An exciting League Cup draw, a solid group of signings, and could Michael Baidoo represent the ultimate redemption arc? It's hard to focus with a World Cup in full flow, but everyone - even if they don't really know it yet - is excited for 'real' football to return.On to Norway! On to Tavistock! We'll be back again soon as one competition draws to a close and another gets ready to begin. It's the circle of football life, Clive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom are joined by Republic of Ireland legend Robbie Keane for an unforgettable conversation covering one of football's greatest careers, life in America, and the magic of the World Cup.Robbie reflects on his incredible journey from Wolves to Coventry, Inter Milan, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and LA Galaxy, revealing the lessons he learned from some of football's biggest names including David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham, Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modrić. He explains why movement—not pace—made him one of the Premier League's deadliest strikers, shares the mentality that transformed LA Galaxy into champions, and reveals why Tottenham have struggled to build on their success despite winning the Europa League.The lads also dive into Robbie's unforgettable Republic of Ireland career, including his iconic last-minute World Cup goal against Germany, what it feels like to score on football's biggest stage, and why representing Ireland always meant more than anything else. Robbie also gives his verdict on the current World Cup, predicts the Golden Boot winner, explains why Lionel Messi still amazes him, and reveals which team he'd most like to play for in the tournament.Elsewhere, Pete, Sids and Tom discuss the drama of the knockout stages, the most chaotic penalty shootouts of the tournament so far, England's chances of lifting the trophy, and another round of the Paddy Power Big World Cup Fixture before Tom puts everyone to the test with another brilliantly ridiculous quiz.As always, leave your comments below and let us know: Where does Robbie Keane rank among the Premier League's greatest-ever strikers?00:00 - Knockout stage drama begins02:35 - Robbie Keane joins the podcast03:30 - Life at LA Galaxy & David Beckham's influence07:15 - Changing the mentality in MLS10:15 - From Wolves to Inter Milan13:00 - What Serie A taught Robbie15:00 - The secret behind his movement as a striker19:30 - Tottenham memories & Luka Modrić21:30 - Winning the League Cup & Spurs frustrations23:20 - Why Tottenham have struggled to kick on30:10 - Ireland, World Cups & scoring against Germany35:00 - Messi, Golden Boot predictions & World Cup favourites38:20 - Name That Robbie quiz40:59 - Paddy Power Big World Cup Fixture46:25 - Final thoughtsFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Steve Sidwell:Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwellInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14For more Tom Fordyce:Twitter/X - https://x.com/TomFordyce#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast #RobbieKeane #Football #PremierLeague #WorldCup Hosted on Acast.

We've had enough of the Good Times bobble hat telling us what to talk about. The Wembley derby will have to wait.In the summer of 1996, Everton may not have been Cup holders anymore (the loveables having let the city down and sent the trophy back to Manchester), but were now being touted as outsiders for an even bigger pot - their first league title in 9 (NINE) years.Gary Speed looked like just the missing piece of Joe Royle's jigsaw, a marauding all-round midfielder (which was the style at the time), and a lifelong Evertonian to boot. Someone that would undoubtedly spend his many remaining years at the club he loved.After a dream first day of the season, August optimism gives way for a bumpy autumn then, naturally. But at least we don't go out of the League Cup to York.This episode is supported by The Excelsior. Thanks to Sean Ponzini and Gary Lunt for their contributions. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the Andy Hamilton, Jon Holmes and Colin Shindler discuss the year 1970, which, to their collective astonishment, is 56 years ago. It's Colin's favourite year and much treasured by the 20-year-old Jon. Meanwhile the teenage Andy Hamilton skipped school to watch Chelsea beat Leeds in an infamous FA Cup Final replay (and was found out) and ignored his O level revision to watch Brazil v Uruguay in the World Cup semi final (he failed his Latin and had to resit). Everton won the League, City the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup and England got knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter final stage when the whole world (never mind the whole of England) was eagerly anticipating an England v Brazil World Cup Final. It was the end of the decade and somehow the excitement that had been generated in the 1960s disappointingly began to diminish thereafter. If you ask us to nominate a year when football ruled our lives and hadn't yet ruined them, it was 1970. Much to discuss, much nostalgia to wallow in. Please join us in our indulgence.

Before the biggest night at Villa Park in years, a solo My Old Man Said show, with some personal memories and reflections back to 1994, and an honest assessment of what the second leg of the Europa League semi-final requires.In 1994, Villa were three-nil down at Tranmere in a League Cup semi-final first leg. The fanbase were feeling angry that the club were squandering a real good chance of silverware to put them back on the map, after a difficult decade. The build up to the second leg has parallels, as does the build-up to the final against Manchester United, when Villa's league form had dropped off a cliff before the trip to Wembley.It was all an example of what a team is capable of when it decides to be.Recorded in the hours leading up to the Europa League semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest, the show sets out what tonight requires — from Watkins, from Rogers, from McGinn and Tielemans, from the crowd, and from a manager who has four of these trophies already. The Onana absence. The Bogarde question. Whether Forest come to shut up shop or play with the freedom that has defined their recent form. And what it would mean - for the club, for its European legacy, for everything - to be talking about Istanbul tomorrow morning.No rally call. No clichés. Just the honest picture before the biggest night of the season.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Sunday afternoon's match between Forward Madison and New York Cosmos had a bit of everything: a long bomb, an Olimpico, a red card, four goals. And it still ended in a 2-2 draw and a pretty well-earned point for the Mingos.

Arsenal progress to a second successive Champions League semi-final after navigating a controlled but low-event second leg against Sporting.The episode opens with the context of the tie — a one-goal advantage from the first leg and the pressure attached to seeing the job through at the Emirates. The conversation reflects on the necessity of progression given recent domestic results, before moving into a measured assessment of the performance itself — balanced between result and display.Attention then turns to the starting lineup and the continued debate around the front three, with discussion centred on squad availability, limitations in selection, and the management of Kai Havertz across fixtures. The hosts examine the impact of injuries, the absence of key attacking profiles, and how that shapes Arsenal's current attacking ceiling.A statistical breakdown frames the match before the conversation shifts to the broader significance of reaching back-to-back semi-finals — placing the achievement within both club history and wider English club context. From there, the episode explores the disconnect between fan sentiment and the scale of the achievement, including the role of media narratives and their impact on perception inside and outside the club.Tactically, the discussion focuses on Arsenal's build-up structure, including David Raya's role in progression, midfield responsibility, and the limitations of the current forward line in retaining possession. Individual performances are assessed, with particular attention on Gabriel Martinelli's contribution across both phases.The episode then expands outward to cover the wider Champions League landscape, including performances from PSG, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, before examining structural differences across leagues — from defensive standards to fixture load and scheduling.Looking ahead, the semi-final against Atlético Madrid is introduced, including discussion around the importance of leg order and the potential advantage of playing the second leg at home. The final section addresses Arsenal's injury outlook, the physical demands on the squad, and the broader context of player availability heading into the decisive stage of the season.The episode closes with a measured assessment of Arsenal's current level, and whether attacking output can improve as key players return and minutes are managed more aggressively.Second successive semi-final. Now the question is what comes next.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:48) - Champions League Context & Semi-Final Stakes(02:14) - Lineup Discussion & Front Three Debate(03:27) - Squad Availability & Havertz Usage Context(04:32) - Forward Line Record & Selection Constraints(05:08) - Declan Rice Fitness & Fan Sentiment Impact(06:22) - Match Stats Breakdown(07:09) - Reaching Back-to-Back Champions League Semi-Finals(09:00) - Fan Sentiment vs Historical Achievement(13:06) - Media Pressure & Dressing Room Psychology(13:59) - Playing Out from the Back & Raya Errors(15:42) - Build-Up Structure & Midfield Responsibility(17:30) - Progression Issues & Front Three Limitations(21:26) - Martinelli Performances(23:24) - Injuries, Limitations & Current Level(26:07) - Players Appoint Declan Rice Captain(31:38) - Tactical Adjustments from Previous Match(33:00) - Champions League Landscape: PSG, Bayern, Madrid(35:19) - Defensive Standards Across Leagues(37:07) - Fixture Load & Tournament Disparity(39:35) - League Cup & Scheduling Disadvantages(40:50) - Atlético Madrid Preview Context(43:11) - Home vs Away Leg Debate(45:42) - Injury Outlook: Ødegaard, Saka, Timber(48:22) - World Cup Factor & Player Risk(50:30) - Semi-Final Confidence vs Current Form(51:54) - Can Arsenal's Attack Improve?(54:19) - Closing Thoughts & Outlook

In this episode, we chart the incredible journey of the "Portuguese Magnifico," from his arrival in a rain-soaked January 2020 to becoming the undisputed heartbeat of Old Trafford. We break down the evolution of Bruno Fernandes—not just as a statistical powerhouse with record-breaking goal involvements, but as the captain who dragged a giant back to its feet. We explore his "controlled chaos" playing style, his instrumental role in the 2024 FA Cup and 2025 League Cup triumphs, and his legacy as a leader who demands nothing less than excellence. Is he the most impactful United signing of the last decade? Tune in as we dissect the man who turned hope into silverware. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, Premier League, football highlights, soccer captaincy.

No team has ever won a quadruple, but it doesn't stop us getting excited about the possibility every season. This year, Arsenal were in the conversation before they were dumped out of both the FA Cup and the League Cup. Alas, the quadruple is out of reach for another season - but will it ever be done?Marcus, Jim & David reach a verdict on that, before picking our all-time favourite players to have dragged their careers back from the brink. We also entertain the idea of restricting how often teams can change managers in a season (sorry, Spurs fans) and, inspired by the Artemis II launch, decide which players we'd take to the moon.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us!***The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

The J1 Chaos Energy J.League Cup reached the halfway point of the league phase over the weekend, and Jonny and Ben were pleased to welcome Fukuoka correspondent Daniel Hawkins back to the pod to chat about Avispa's season so far, their character-building 1-0 away win over Hiroshima on Sunday, and Daniel's outlook for the second half of the half-season campaign (to 25:40). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the other four games from the west (to 41:55), and all five from the east, before they look ahead to Gamba Osaka's ACL Two semi final first leg this Wednesday night, and the weekend's top flight matchday.

After Japan scored late to beat Scotland 1-0 at Hampden Park, Jonny and Ben were delighted to welcome Ryo Nakagawara back to the pod to chat about the 'B Team' lineup, how the game progressed, and players who impressed, before we moved on to look ahead to the second friendly of the international break, against England at Wembley (to 59:00). Then we shifted to domestic matters, as Ryo gave us the lowdown on the four under 20 J1 players who have impressed in the early stages of the Chaos Energy J.League Cup, then we chatted about the two J1 games from the weekend and Ryo's overall thoughts on the CEJLC as we approach the halfway point of the half season. If you're not already, get following Ryo on Twitter/X and/or Bluesky.

The Carabao Cup trophy is back at the Etihad, its rightful home, and David Mooney is joined by City fan KC and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss the final against Arsenal. City have now won the League Cup under the Carabao banner more than any other team combined and Pep Guardiola has become the first manager ever to win the trophy on five different occasions. With the international break to come, there's plenty of room in today's show to discuss the key performances from the victory at Wembley, which means giving due praise to the likes of Matheus Nunes, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku and Antoine Semenyo... and not forgetting the Mancunian City fan from the academy who scored both goals, Nico O'Reilly. Plus, there was also an interesting tactical approach from Guardiola to starve Arsenal of opportunities to get out of their own defensive third. The Athletic's Jon Mackenzie joins the show to break that down and look at how City strangled their opposition to get on top of the game. On top of that, there's been more chatter around Guardiola's future... but, perhaps more of an immediate concern are the quotes from Rodri about the next steps in his career. Could that be away from the Etihad and back in Madrid? Also, who would be the best City player in the circus? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

It was a terminal week for Manchester City's Champions League hopes, with elimination at the hands of Real Madrid (including the hand of Bernardo Silva if we're being strictly accurate about it all). Meanwhile, the team's hopes of winning the Premier League title were dealt a blow after they failed to keep pace with leaders Arsenal with a 1-1 draw at West Ham. David Mooney is joined by City fans James Faulkner and, from the MCFC Lads podcast and social pages, Luke Stanley. They discuss the performances and the results this week... because there is a difference in how each is perceived... and they look ahead to what will undoubtedly be a tough test against Arsenal in the League Cup final on Sunday. Arsenal fan Michael Keshani returns to the show to give his thoughts on how Mikel Arteta's side are playing. Are they as good as previous Arsenal teams and are they even good to watch? We get into the narratives around the league leaders, plus look at how Sunday's final could impact the remainder of the title race, however unlikely it is that City close the gap at this stage. On top of all of that, we've roped in Chris Higginbottom and, from the City Ramble podcast, Amos Murphy to discuss City's best fluked goals. That's after Bernardo admitted that his strike at the London Stadium wasn't quite as intentional as it might have been. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
