They focus on Nico O'Reilly's display, as his brace made the difference, plus they look at the FA Cup draw, City's chances in the competition and how important that Club World Cup could be. With Nottingham Forest coming up, we hear from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller, as they go into this weekend's game a point ahead of City in the battle for the top four. We also reflect on one of the most egregious pieces of cheating, which happened 35 years ago this week - as we hear from Andy Dibble about a goal he conceded at The City Ground in 1990. Plus, we're expecting the verdict on the Premier League charges "imminently" - we look at the story and the nuts and bolts of how it's being covered (and if anything can be read into that), as judgement day nears. ========== 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! ========== After a week that suggests signs of improved consistency (even if the results weren't all positive), David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fans Adam Monk and Chris Higginbottom to discuss the games with Liverpool and Spurs. They look at how the new signings are settling in - especially Abdukodir Khusanov - and how they have helped the performances this week. Plus, they look at the VAR decision NOT to award Erling Haaland's second goal at Spurs and the protocols behind why it wasn't given. With all-conquering Plymouth up next in the FA Cup, we hear from Aaron Hocking from Argyle Life. He explains what to expect from The Pilgrims on Saturday, as they look to make City their third Premier League victims of their cup run. Former City striker Robert Taylor is also on the show - he's discussing playing AGAINST City for Gillingham at Wembley in 1999, before switching to Maine Road as City pushed for back-to-back promotions. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After perhaps the best performance of the season against Newcastle and perhaps the worst performance of the season against Real Madrid, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from BBC Radio Manchester, Mike Minay to assess the week. They discuss the Jekyll-and-Hyde style displays of the season so far (as they continue to search for pop culture metaphors), while they look at the impact of the new signings so far, and what could come between now and May. With Liverpool and Spurs on the cards for this week, they discuss what the state of play is given how both teams have their own little issues at the moment too... and whether City have it in the tank to exploit those or if Pep Guardiola's side are just too unpredictable. Former City midfielder Danny Tiatto speaks to the show about his time at Maine Road - taking in back-to-back promotions, playing under Joe Royle and Kevin Keegan, and red cards aplenty. Plus there's the best City consolation goals and the best 'Typical City' moments. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

These things are becoming ten-a-penny now, so joining David Mooney to review the latest one is Adam Carter, from StatCity.co.uk, and Paul Hirst, from The Times. There were some positives from the performance against Real Madrid on Tuesday, but were they all undone by the nature of the ending? Plus, it's not all bad as a favourable FA Cup draw followed a solid win at Leyton Orient... It's probably best to take the victories where you can this season. With Newcastle up next in the league and the race to make the top four getting tighter, we take a look at that game and how much Pep Guardiola has to balance with the second leg in the Bernabeu also in the next midweek. Where should the focus lie and how much energy needs to go into each match? After seven fan groups wrote an open letter to the club about ticket prices and ticket policy, we also look at that situation - and hear from representatives from some of the groups to hear their concerns. And... on top of all of that... what did you make of the 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' tifo...? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from One Football, Dan Burke, to discuss the horror show at The Emirates on Sunday. How did Manchester City go from a position of being competitive in the game to being absolutely battered? Can they stop it happening again? And what was made of all of the celebrations afterwards? With Leyton Orient to come, we hear from Paul and Steve from Orient Outlook to preview the FA Cup tie. Then, with Real Madrid coming to the Etihad in the Champions League playoff round, Madrid fan Oscar Garcia speaks to us about how their season is going so far. We also assess the transfer business now that the winter window is closed - and we also hear from another David Mooney, this time the one who made his name in the football league playing for Leyton Orient. ========== 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! ========== Back-to-back 3-1 victories, both of them after falling behind, have made it a good week for Manchester City. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from the Daily Mail, Jack Gaughan, to discuss all of the events of the wins over Chelsea and Club Brugge. With Pep Guardiola giving two new signings a debut from the start of the game against Chelsea (and that's the first time that's happened since 2017), we sit down with Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk, plus City fan Richard Burns, and journalist Dom Farrell to talk through some memorable City debuts. The reverse fixture with Arsenal is coming up after the shenanigans at the end of the previous meeting... will that have any impact on the game, given City's fall from the title race? We look ahead to the match at the Emirates. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Is there any good feeling left after walloping Ipswich or did the 4-2 defeat at PSG make it all evaporate? With Chelsea and Club Brugge on the horizon, City are fighting for the Champions League lives AND qualification for next season's competition with their top four position... Dan Childs from Son of Chelsea gives us insight into their season so far, while Scott Coyne from the Belgian Football Podcast explains how Brugge are doing (spoiler alert: quite well). After the sad news of Denis Law's death this week, we replay the interview we did with him in 2014 to hear his memories of his two moves to City and what his experience was like at Maine Road and in Manchester. Plus, with three transfers confirmed, how involved could Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov or Omar Marmoush be this weekend? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After the 8-0 thrashing of Salford City and the 2-2 draw with Brentford, David Mooney is joined by football historian Dr Gary James and City fan Andy MacNab to reflect on the two performances. Despite the result in West London, was the display better than in previous matches recently? After the sad news of the death of City legend Tony Book, we replay the interview we did with him from May 2011 and we discuss his legacy at the club. With Ipswich and PSG on the horizon, we hear from Rich from The Suffolk Crunch and from Ed from PSG Talk to find out how both of City's next opponents are getting on at the moment. And we also discuss the most traitorous City player... ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
