As Manchester City progress to another FA Cup semi-final, Dan Burke is joined by City fan KC and The Athletic's Mark Critchley to discuss the victory over Newcastle - with a focus on Mateo Kovacic, Stefan Ortega and Guardiola's record in getting City to the latter stages of knockout competitions.
With the announcement that season ticket prices are going up... again... we give our reaction and look at the impact on supporters, with the club (once again) refusing to comment.
Former City chairman, David Bernstein, also speaks to the show - going through his time on the board at Maine Road, but also looking at his support of the club growing up.

Don't Let On that We've Cracked the Enigma Code Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

After the talking-point-filled draw at Anfield, David Mooney is joined by City fan Gaz and by the Manchester Evening News Chief City Writer, Simon Bajkowski, to reflect on the point gained against Liverpool.
Why couldn't City capitalise on a strong first half display and what changed after the break? Were they lucky it wasn't a penalty on Alexis Mac Allister at the end? Were they unlucky not to win it when they hit the post and the bar? Lots to get into...
Then there's the overall experience of being a City fan... This week has suggested lots of people just don't understand what following City means to the supporters, so we dive into that off the back of Trent Alexander-Arnold's comments.
Taylor Payne from Pod on the Tyne speaks to the show to preview the upcoming FA Cup tie with Newcastle, plus we squeeze in some memories of manager-player bust-ups from years gone by.

Celestial Paths and Ballistic Signatures Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

After two more wins, David Mooney is joined City fan Chris Higginbottom and One Football's Dan Burke to react to the victories over Manchester United and FC Copenhagen. There's a focus on Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, plus we put United's time-wasting under the spotlight... as the Etihad grew increasingly more frustrated as the game went on.
Then it's the dreaded trip to Anfield... But have City ever had a better chance of winning there (in front of fans) during Pep Guardiola's time at the club? We discuss that and we also hear from Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap to get his thoughts ahead of the game.

There's a week of contrasting games for David Mooney, City fan Joe Butterfield and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to pick apart. The performances against Bournemouth and Luton were very different - but the outcome was the same.
They discuss Erling Haaland's five-goal rout, the relationship between the striker and other players around him, and how the centre of midfield became so much more stable against Luton. Then there's the defence, which mightn't have improved too much but is now keeping a few more clean sheets... work that one out.
Sam Rosbottom remembers the very first Manchester Derby at Eastlands, hearing from some of the scorers that afternoon - and then we preview the upcoming ties with Manchester United and FC Copenhagen.
There's also a celebration of some of the best commentary lines about City from the telly.

Liquid Butter Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

It's been a tricky week... David Mooney is joined by City fan Macca and, from the Daily Mail, Jack Gaughan to work out why is been a tricky week. They look at the shape of the team and the issues City have had controlling games this season, plus there's a focus on Erling Haaland, after his goals have been crucial in the last few matches (and his chances crucial against Chelsea).
Jon Mackenzie from Tifo explains why City haven't been as solid out of possession this season, while our EDS expert Sean Blinkhorn discusses the changes that have been going on at youth level this season.
We also look ahead to the games with Bournemouth and Luton, while former City chairman David Bernstein gives his thoughts on Financial Fair Play Regulations and the Premier League charges.

Smug Approval from a Proud Dad Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

Manchester City's winning streak continues and to discuss the victories over Everton and Copenhagen, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from The Times, Paul Hirst. The look at the form of Phil Foden, the injury to Jack Grealish, and the impact of Jeremy Doku.
We hear our regular guests' favourite counter-attacking goals as we focus on why City choose so often to reject breaking away, in a way that's at odds with what most of football would think to do - and that's after the perfect goal on the counter against Everton.
The Athletic's Chelsea correspondent, Liam Twomey, joins the show to discuss the upcoming game on Saturday, we look ahead to the match with Brentford, plus we discuss the moments in the last few years where City have had a stroke of good fortune.

After Manchester City's 3-1 win at Brentford, David Mooney is joined by City fan Adam Keyworth and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to analyse the performance. There is the obvious focus on Phil Foden after his hat-trick, but we also take a look at others, such as Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland.
With the reverse Brentford game just 15 days after the original, Mooney takes a look at all the other times City have played the same team in the Premier League in quick succession. Matt Jones from The Blue Room speaks to the show about Everton, too - and we look ahead to the game with Copenhagen.

Feet in Pies Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

The winter break is over and Manchester City return with one of the most unwinnable games they could ever wish for... Spurs away in the FA Cup. David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and the editor of Football 365, Sarah Winterburn, to preview that game, along with the trip to Burnley.
We get insight into Spurs from Rosa from the Hometown Glory podcast, while Joe from TurfCast explains why things haven't gone to plan for Burnley this season.
Since it's 20 years to the round where City came back from 3-0 down to beat Spurs 4-3 with ten men in an FA Cup replay, we hear from the players involved in that game to get their memories, too.
Plus, we round-up the week's news - looking at Omar Berrada's move to Old Trafford, the departure of Kalvin Phillips, and (very briefly) the arrival of Claudio Echeverri from River Plate.

The Vulture Beatles Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

Following Manchester City's late winner at Newcastle, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and the BBC's Football Correspondent, John Murray, to discuss the key moments from the game. The focus is on Oscar Bobb and Kevin De Bruyne after the impact that they both made from the bench.
Following the sad news that former City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, we take some time out to remember his season at the club. Chris Higginbottom, Dom Farrell and Richard Burns give us their memories - plus we dig into the archives to hear some of our interview with Sven from 13 years ago.
On top of that, there's also a look at what the Premier League's CEO Richard Masters said to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee (spoiler alert: not much), and we remember our favourite games in the snow.
