Another pair of disappointing defeats... It's becoming like a 90s throwback habit this now... David Mooney is joined by City fan Ally Fogg and by The Athletic's Mark Critchley to discuss the draw at Crystal Palace and the defeat at Juventus.

What can be done to inject some confidence into the team? How can Guardiola rest and rotate if there is nobody fit and available to play instead? Is there a way to shore things up and stop teams hitting City on the counter? Answers on a postcard.

With the Manchester Derby on the horizon, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock to find out why they're dreading the game as much as City fans are right now. Plus, we take a look at City's record against United when they're up against the reds under a new manager.

S16 Ep19: The Black Hole (Where Everything Goes to Die)

A bonus episode to start the week, this is a nostalgia episode that first aired on the Patreon in October 2023. David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell and, from the Birmingham Podcast "Fat Lads Go In Goal", Mark Watson, to discuss games between the two teams.

David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and by City fan KC to discuss the fallout from that Manchester Derby. Did the defeat - and the manner of it - cross a line? How much further can the bad form go?

We spend the show looking for light relief - and we've done it by slipping back into wistful nostalgia. We hear from the former City midfielder Georgi Kinkladze, as he speaks to the show about his three seasons at Maine Road.

With Aston Villa and Everton on the horizon, we hear from Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler and from Dave Downie from The Blue Room, who both explain how their seasons have been going to this point. Can City stop the rot or are they basically limping along until the January transfer window?

Plus, with an idea shamelessly stolen from a bigger podcast, who is the best City player from several different (recent) eras of the club? We discuss the candidates for each period, going back to the promotions in 1999 and 2000.

After the 1-1 draw with Everton (and the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa), David Mooney is joined by City fan Matt Holland and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter, to look more in-depth at the issues that are still dogging the team and the form.

There's injuries, a lack of creativity, and problems with confidence as known issues - but how much further can this go? With Leicester away on the horizon, they look ahead to that match and try to work out just what can be done to try and inspire some good feeling around the place one again.

For the final podcast of 2024, Ciaran Murray and KC sit down to discuss the alternative highlights of the first half of the season. What are the bits that you didn't know you needed to remember from last June to the final week of the year?

We have a look at some more conventional highlights of the year, too, and, as Jesus Navas retires, we discuss his City legacy and his beautiful, piercing blue eyes.

S16 Ep21: Have You Ever Seen an Otter Wash Its Face?

Happy New Year, everybody! Manchester City finished 2024 with a win at Leicester, can they start 2025 with a win over West Ham? Those are the two games that are in focus for City fans Ciaran Murray and KC, who join David Mooney for today's show.

As Pep Guardiola makes it to 500 games in charge of City, we hear from football historian Dr Gary James. He's discussing the legacy of the only other City manager that hit that milestone, Les McDowall - talking through what he achieved at Maine Road and putting Guardiola's achievements into that historical context.

The January transfer window is now open, so we take a look at what business we'd like City to do, with the squad showing signs of tiredness and suffering from a number of injuries. We also take a look at all the deals done by the club in the winter since the introduction of the transfer window system.

S16 Ep22: The Dying Leggy Swan

After a strangely unconvincing 4-1 win over West Ham, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss the good and the bad of the afternoon. They look at the nerves and tetchiness inside the stadium towards the end (and everything that was said about it).

On top of that, Jack Grealish has been under the microscope this week after Pep Guardiola's post-match comments. They discuss his future and legacy at the Etihad after what the manager had to say.

We hear from Danny from the Salford City podcast One Up Front, while Mike from the Brentford podcast Ealing Road drops by to chat about the upcoming match on Tuesday. Sam Rosbottom also talks us through every time City have faced a League Two team since that division's rebrand in 2004.

Chuck in some silly chat about our favourite defeats this season and the best goals scored by the players with the shortest names and you've got yourself a podcast.

S16 Ep23: Honking and Barking

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...

==========

After another collapse from a leading position for Manchester City, David Mooney is joined by City fan Adam Monk and, from Sky Sports News, Ben Ransom to discuss the week... 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?

==========

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.

S16 Ep26: What's That Smell?

After the last-gasp win at Wolves and the comprehensive victory over Sparta Prague, David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and Manchester World's Michael Plant to discuss the events of both games.

City have had some issues breaking down a back five recently - and Guardiola has launched a new tactic this week: Do nothing. Literally. So we'll look into that and how effective that could be in the future, plus the former City defender Nedum Onuoha gives his thoughts on how to attack when a team is trying to limit the available space so much.

We're taking a bigger-picture view of City this week, too. We hear from the MEN's Simon Bajkowski, whose new book 'The Blueprint' looks at how City got themselves into a position to thrive under Pep Guardiola and how the club have put plans in place across the board to become the best in the world. (Plus, you could win a copy of the book - details in the show)

On top of all of that, we look ahead to the games with Southampton and Tottenham - and we look at Rodri's chances of winning the Ballon D'Or at the ceremony on Monday.
