Manchester City have made history with their fourth Premier League title in a row. David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Adam Monk to reflect on the 3-1 victory over West Ham - and to discuss the wider story about City's achievement this and the previous three seasons.
With the title has come the discussion around City's recent dominance: So how do City fans feel about the narrative that the Premier League is boring, that there's been no jeopardy, or that it is worth less because of the charges the club faces? We take a look at all of that.
Plus, it's time again for the alternative highlights of the season. Ciaran Murray and KC are back to chat through the moments that you might otherwise have forgotten.
And then it's time for the second Manchester Derby FA Cup final in two seasons... We preview that, as well as answer your questions around Ederson, Guardiola's future, and the season's underrated players.

Smuggling Individually-Packaged Meatballs onto a Plane May 16, 2024

Show notes

Manchester City stand on the brink of history, providing they can find a way past West Ham on the final day of the 2023-24 season. David Mooney is joined by City fan Adam Keyworth and journalist Martin Blackburn to discuss the upcoming game - and the week that's got City into this position.
They look at nerves and anxiety, both in beating Fulham and Tottenham - and in preparing for the Hammers on Sunday. We hear from James Jones from We Are West Ham to get the opposition perspective on the final day, too.
Sports psychology consultant Martin Robert Hall joins the show to discuss superstitions - for fans, managers and players - after Guardiola revealed he wore his woolly jumper at Fulham in spite of the heat because it had been working for him previously.
We also hear from Nick from the Man City Fans Foodbank Support group, who can tell us how influential City fans have been this season in helping to provide for those most in need in Manchester - as he and the team prepare for their final collection of the campaign.

Copulating Pigeons May 09, 2024

Show notes

Manchester City made a tricky game with Wolves look simple on Saturday, so can they do that again when they visit Fulham and Spurs this week? On today's Blue Moon Podcast, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ally Fogg and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to look at the return to goalscoring form of Erling Haaland.
His latest City hat-trick broke a Premier League record... and Dan Burke looks back over previous Premier League hat-tricks at the Etihad. Plus, we look at comments recently that City are boring and that even City fans are bored - and why that's so wide of the mark.
Jack from Fulhamish joins the show to explain how their season has been, while another Jack - this one from the Rule the Roost podcast - tells us why exactly he wants Tottenham to lose so that Arsenal don't win the title.

After a hard-fought three points at Nottingham Forest, David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter to discuss the key points from the match. They look at how Erling Haaland changed the game from the bench, the improvements in Josko Gvardiol and the situation around Ederson and Stefan Ortega.
Dom Farrell and Adam Monk join the show to look back over previous title-race games that were excruciatingly difficult to watch - and we try to work out what the key components of one of those games is.
Then it's Wolves at the weekend, so we check in with Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves to find out how their season has gone to this point and what he's hoping for in their remaining games.
Plus, Guardiola has made it to 300 Premier League games - so which matches would make up City's top three league performances under his management?

Another Dent in the Car Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

If anyone was feeling the nerves after Arsenal took advantage of City's attention being elsewhere, the 4-0 win at Brighton was probably the perfect tonic to it. David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Cheech to reflect on that, plus the FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea.
They discuss the performances of Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne, they look at how Kyle Walker provided the width - and they also discuss getting the rub of the green with a few penalty decisions this week.
Then it's Nottingham Forest on Sunday... Matt Davies from Forest Focus joins the show to discuss their form going into that game. And, with the news that FA Cup replays are on the way out, Sam Rosbottom has been looking at some of City's most iconic and important FA Cup replays from years gone by.

Biscuits and Vinegar Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

The morning after the night before, David Mooney is joined by two City fans and journalists in the shape of Dan Burke from One Football and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the Champions League exit on penalties to Real Madrid.
As they discuss, it's a strange week... there's the disappointment at the defeat, but more broadly, was the performance perfectly good? And, on top of that, domestically, the title race is back in City's hands too.
Daniel Childs from Son of Chelsea speaks to the show to give us insight into how they're doing at the moment ahead of this weekend's FA Cup semi-final, while we also catch up with Ryan Adsett from Seagulls Socials to find out what to expect from Brighton in next week's Premier League clash.

After Manchester City's 4-2 win at Crystal Palace and 3-3 draw at Real Madrid, David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and Bob Toole to discuss the performances, the character of the team, and where the results have left the club in their defence of both the Premier League and the Champions League titles.
With the tightness of the title race, how should Guardiola approach this weekend's game with Luton, especially with the looming spectre of the Real Madrid second leg on the horizon? We hear from Ollie from the We Are Luton Town podcast, who tells us all about their season so far, too.
Then we're putting match-by-match tickets into the spotlight. There's been controversy over season ticket price rises recently, but how are you affected as a fan who is only able to go to a few games each year? Listener David Lamb got in touch to explain his position, so we hear from him.

Mutually Assured Destruction Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

What do you make of the week that saw one of the most boring games of the season followed by one of the most impressive? David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and by Fred Caldeira from TNT Sports Brazil to reflect on Manchester City's 0-0 draw with Arsenal and the 4-1 win over Aston Villa.
They focus on the performances of Phil Foden and Rico Lewis, plus they discuss the structure and shape of the team both with and without Erling Haaland. Then it's Crystal Palace and Real Madrid on the horizon - and possibly a big week to come to find out if City have had their click and we're now in the post-click era for this season.
And this week's show is also getting musical... Football historian Gary James speaks about the background to several songs and chants around City, looking at the history of tunes like Blue Moon and The Boys In Blue.
