It's been a week of excellent cup victories for Manchester City. To celebrate, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and City fan Chris Higginbottom. They discuss the 10-1 win over Exeter and then the 2-0 success in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal at Newcastle.It was the first time since 1987 that City scored double-figures in a game and, strangely, the scoreline matched the date (for only the 18th time in City's history)... but it was a remarkable bit of history-making from Pep Guardiola's side. At the same time, City were also on the receiving end of a VAR controversy, as the video assistant took five-and-a-half minutes to disallow what seems to be a perfectly reasonable goal at St James's Park.With trips to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt to come, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock and Norwegian journalist covering Glimt, Stian Høgland to get some idea of what City can expect this week.Plus, as young players like Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo impress, we discuss what options Guardiola has for the upcoming games and how necessary it is for the club to move again in the transfer market this month, as Antoine Semenyo settles in very nicely.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

#962 | United were knocked out of the cup by Brighton at Old Trafford. It's going to be a long few months from here. Having been dumped out of the League Cup by Grimsby earlier in the season, and with no European football this season, United will play just 40 games this season. It's the fewest for 111 years. Perhaps that's a mercy. Ed and Dan discuss defeat to Brighton, try to put it in some context and hope that things will get better with an interim managerial appointment. 00:00 Introduction: United 1-2 Brighton 09:02 Squad Quality & Player Assessment 16:19 Interim Manager Dilemma 17:19 Cycle of Failure at United 22:56 Transfer Strategy, Midfield Needs 27:38 Leadership's Crap Decision Making 45:28 Team Selection for the Derby If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
