After a not-so-thrilling but very comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News to discuss Manchester City's week.  Most of the talk has been off-the-pitch, with the news that City were looking at contingencies in case Pep Guardiola decided to leave at the end of this season... but then the manager spoke about it all at length in the press conference on Friday, so we look at what's been said and what it could mean for the end of his contract in 2027. It's Christmas week, so Mooney's also spent his weekend digging through the history books to look at some of the strangest facts and figures around City on December the 25th. Then we get insight into a, frankly, bizarre season so far for Nottingham Forest from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller. And what's all this about coming back from the Christmas break "fatty"? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Jack and Cal break down Manchester City 3-0 West Ham, discussing a sobering afternoon in the Premier League following another defeat for Nuno's side and Leeds getting a surprise win against Crystal Palace at Elland Road. They dissect all the goals from the Etihad, talking the individual errors and tactical lapses that led to Erling Haaland's brace and Tijjani Reijnders' strike, questioning why the Hammers got exposed and why the substitutions failed to turn the tide. Jack and Cal also debate the 4-3-3 shape, whether it's time to flatten the midfield to provide better defensive width and the lack of support Oliver Scarles upon his return against Rayan Cherki. They also take at Crysencio Summerville and Freddie Potts impact and performances before finishing with a look at the chronic lack of xG creation. With all the goal-scoring pressure on Bowen and questions mounting over bench usage and the absence of younger talents, they ask the big question: how do you fix West Ham?

The January transfer window is coming, and the conditions are unusually volatile. Patrick and Ted discuss why this winter could see more movement than normal, driven by league parity, World Cup pressures, and clubs chasing narrow competitive margins. They analyze who should act and why, covering the title race, the top-four battle, and the growing risks for mid-table teams. Along the way, they examine Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Spurs, and several clubs facing difficult strategic choices. The episode closes with a wider look at Europe and relegation planning, highlighting why January spending is less about fixing everything and more about choosing the right problems to solve.

Rog and Rory are back with a very special episode to look back at the highs, lows, and trends that made up the past year of football in the Premier League, including: how Mikel Arteta and Arsenal's set piece obsession has taken over the league, why Chelsea's ballooning squad-size has been copied by the likes of Manchester City, and why the Premier League's "Big 6" may be expanding to include teams like Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace.

Alexander Isak's tough start to life at Liverpool went from bad to worse at the weekend as he suffered what's believed to be a broken leg as he scored what proved to be the winner against Spurs. Elsewhere in a busy weekend, Aston Villa continued their fantastic run by beating Manchester United at home, keeping them alongside Man City in the pack chasing Arsenal. In the North East, Newcastle took a 2-0 lead at home to Chelsea before suffering a spirited comeback from the Blues, but it was the officiating that stole the headlines, with the Geordies denied a penalty and a red card during an entertaining game. All that gets discussed as well as Niall, Marley and Joel throwing their pet peeves into the sea on today's FSD.

Ben Haines, Luke Edwards and Clinton Morrison discuss the weekend's Premier League action. After Morgan Rogers scored another brace for Aston Villa in their 2-1 win over Manchester United, is he one of the most in-form players in the league right now? And how fearful should Manchester United fans be after Bruno Fernandes left the field at half time due to injury? In the weekend's other matches, they discuss whether Arsenal's lack of convincing wins should be concerning, and one of the games of the season – Newcastle v Chelsea. Should there have been a penalty? Plus, what does Alexander Isak's injury mean for Liverpool, and how concerning is Tottenham's discipline? And at the bottom of the table, is there any way back for Rob Edwards' Wolves?TIME CODES:02:25 – Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers 10:55 – Manchester United 17:05 – Arsenal 28:20 – Newcastle v Chelsea 40:30 – Tottenham v Liverpool 48:50 – Manchester City and Erling Haaland 52:00 – Relegation Picture

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Dominic King and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We start with The Ashes, as Australia defeat England in the third Test in Adelaide to seal the series. Martin labels it a “crushing disappointment” for England, while Julien points out this wasn't even Australia at full strength. Adam Collins joins the show to praise a dominant Australian performance and predicts a 5–0 whitewash.We then move to Liverpool's dramatic 2–1 win over nine-man Spurs. Dominic questions Isak's underwhelming spell after another injury, while Julien points to lingering defensive problems. Next, we ask where Spurs are heading, as Julien argues it's hard to see what Thomas Frank is trying to do.Also, Manchester United's chaos continues after a 4–4 draw with Bournemouth, prompting debate over whether Amorim has got it wrong on Kobbie Mainoo and his role in the team.Finally, we turn to the title race: is the pressure mounting on Arsenal? Top of the league but unconvincing, and with Gyökeres' form in doubt, we as who should lead the line when fully fit? And after a 3–0 win over West Ham, Man City look dominant in the title chase. Dom says, in a head-to-head, you'd pick Guardiola over Arteta every time.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Wolfie looks into the future of Forest star player Elliot Anderson and heavy links to Man City! Switch to Octopus and get an extra £50 credit on your energy bills - https://share.octopus.energy/quiet-pearl-365 The transfer merry-go-round is spinning at full speed, and we've got a massive update on the future of Forest's very own England international, Elliot Anderson. Reports are circulating that Manchester City have now moved into pole position to secure the midfielder's signature, leapfrogging other top-six rivals. While the lure of the Etihad is undeniable, the message from the City Ground is firm: Nottingham Forest are incredibly keen to keep hold of Anderson until at least the summer. Wolfie dives into the latest whispers, the potential record-breaking price tag, and whether Forest can realistically fend off the champions during the January madness. It's not just about potential outgoings, though, as we have exclusive news regarding a new arrival! Forest are actively working on bringing in a new left-back during the January transfer window to bolster the defensive line. With the need for more depth and competition on the left flank becoming clear, the recruitment team has reportedly identified a top target to hit the ground running in the new year. We discuss the names being linked, the profile of the player we're looking for, and how this signing could be the key to a much more stable second half of the season. We want to hear from YOU! Is Elliot Anderson simply "not for sale," or is there a price that makes sense for the club's long-term growth? Plus, who is on your January wishlist for that left-back spot? Drop your thoughts in the comments below and let's get the debate started! A huge thank you to our Patreon community for the continued support—you make these deep-dive updates possible.

Eddie managed to lock himself out, but his week hasn't gone as badly as it has for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. A loss to the Chargers and an MCL and LCL tear for Mahomes means that the Chiefs may be entering a rebuilding era, but does that mean retirement for Travis Kelce? A big comeback for the Bills and important wins for the Ravens and Steelers, but could anyone win the Super Bowl this year? Plus another unconvincing win for Arsenal as Manchester City ease past Crystal Palace. And Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman, but Diego Pavia may have been the biggest loser.

Through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and just two points off the top of the table... It's a far cry from where things were this time 12 months ago. David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Luke Stanley to discuss the week, with a focus on the performances in the last two games.

Speaking of the demons of last season, we're taking a look at how much things have improved a year on. City have scored more, conceded fewer, and taken more points than at this stage last season, so what has changed in the squad to recover from such a bad period and just how bad did it get?
