Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcaster Russ Williams, Compere Richard Cracknell and Marlon as Dominic Solanke scored a stunning acrobatic equaliser as we fought back to force a draw against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. After a lacklustre first period in which Rayan Cherki had given Pep Guardiola's side an early lead before Antoine Semenyo doubled their advantage just before the interval, it looked like City were heading towards a third straight Premier League win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But it was a completely different story after the break as we took the game to the visitors, pulling one back when Solanke forced Marc Guehi into an own goal. The England international then produced a moment of pure magic, scoring for the third time in four games with a spectacular scorpion kick to level the scores and give us a vital point.

In this episode, we break down the clinical January acquisition of Marc Guéhi, a move that might just be the bargain of the decade for Pep Guardiola.

From leading Palace to FA Cup glory to anchoring the defense at the Etihad, we ask: has Pep just secured the missing piece for another European charge?

Manchester City has sent a clear message to the Premier League with the blockbuster £64 million signing of Antoine Semenyo. In this episode, we break down why Pep Guardiola went all-in on the Ghanaian winger and how he managed to score and assist on his debut—a feat not seen at the Etihad since Sergio Agüero. We analyze the tactical "X-factor" Semenyo brings to the squad, his incredible 10-goal form at Bournemouth, and why he chose the Cityzens over Liverpool and Manchester United. Whether it's his "Roberto Carlos" strike power or his seamless fit into Pep's system, we explore if this is the signing that secures another historic treble for the reigning champions.

On this episode, Harry Symeou reviews Arsenal's 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta's Gunners missed the opportunity to extend their lead over Manchester City to a huge nine points. Sure, we've gained another point on Pep Guardiola's side who were beaten at Old Trafford on Saturday but it's fair to say Arsenal's performance at the City ground was well below the levels we've come to expect in recent seasons.

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.
