Podcasts about Sporting News

Tito & Justin Zwick hosting this morning, this date in history, Bill Bender of the Sporting News on Ohio State-Miami, CFP quarterfinals and more, Quick Hitters: Derrick Henry's greatness & OU promotes John Hauser, Michigan tabs Kyle Whittingham as their next head coach and we recap the weekend's NFL action. 

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.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/bluemoon Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! ========== What an insane week it's been. Trying to get to the bottom of why Manchester City lost control of two games against 17th and 18th in the table when they had a comfortable lead in both matches is, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell and, from Football365, Sarah Winterburn. They join David Mooney to discuss the chaos of the games with Leeds and Fulham. They also take a look at City's 'tactical time out', which has drawn attention this week. Did they actually benefit from the huddle at the side of the pitch when Gianluigi Donnarumma went down against Leeds? Is it more concerning that Leeds still equalised after it and the momentum in the game didn't change? Then, at Fulham, in all the madness, Erling Haaland broke the Premier League record to become the fastest player to score 100 goals in the competition. That and Phil Foden's recent form is up for discussion, too. With Sunderland up next, Ant Waterson from Roker Report speaks to the show about what to expect from their visit to the Etihad, and with Real Madrid also coming up there are fears of what might happen if City don't tighten up their grip on matches. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
