Bill Bender of The Sporting News joined "Afternoon Drive" talking why he'd select Jeremiah Smith over a QB at No. 1 in the NFL Draft.

Two more wins for Enzo Maresca's Manchester City mean they go into the Manchester Derby on Sunday with back-to-back clean sheets and sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table. Alongside the good results, what have the performances told us about this new-look version of the team? David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to pick through the talking points from the wins over Coventry and Porto. For the first time in a decade, City go into the Manchester Derby with a new manager in the dugout, so we take a look at the records of the previous bosses on their first time facing Manchester United. Plus, we look ahead to the Norwich game with Norwich fan Dan Greengrass. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a humbling afternoon in Cardiff, David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to pick over the defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield. It wasn't really the scoreline that put the frighteners on anyone, more the manner of the loss... so what does that mean for City in the early stages of the Enzo Maresca era? As Rodri leaves for Barcelona and as it looks like there may be further midfield departures, we take a look at the shape the squad is in ahead of the match with Bournemouth. What can we expect from the opening Premier League game of the season? It was also reported this week that Rodri had refused to play for City if they didn't sanction a sale this summer... Except he didn't say that. We're taking a look at why fake news appears to be at an all time high this year. Plus, we also speak to the author and City fan Alex Timperley, whose new book 'For The Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World' is out now. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
