    Two tough games for Manchester City this week, following the 2-1 turnaround win over Brentford and the 0-0 draw with Inter Milan. David Mooney is joined by City fan and presenter with FourFourTwo, Adam Monk, and by The Athletic's Mark Critchley to discuss the performances in those two matches.
    City faced Inter while wearing change colours at home... That's not as unusual as you might think. We speak to the football historian, Dr Gary James, to hear more about the times it has happened in the past.
    With a tricky tie with Arsenal coming up on Sunday, Gunners fan Michael Keshani joins the show to look at what they might do with Martin Ødegaard unavailable and in light of how both teams approached these fixtures last season.
    Plus, with a tight turnaround between that game at the Carabao Cup tie with Watford, Ciaran Murray's been taking a look at the issues around the schedule.

    As the international break comes to a close, David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fan Adam Keyworth and, from The Times, Paul Hirst, to look ahead to the upcoming games with Brentford and Inter Milan.
    Craig Tillyer from The Ealing Road Podcast joins the show to discuss Thomas Frank's side, while we get insight into what Inter might do from Nima Tavallaey from SempreInter.com and The Italian Football Podcast.
    It's the first opportunity we've had this season to check in with our EDS expert, Sean Blinkhorn, so we get the lowdown on which of the younger players could be ones to watch this season - and we look at those who made something of an impression back on the pre-season tour.
    And... what is the best City 'screamer' under Guardiola?

    Another Erling Haaland hat-trick, another three points for Manchester City and top of the table at the international break makes it a perfect start to the 2024-25 season. David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and, from the Hits 21 podcast, Rob Wilson, to reflect on the victory at West Ham.
    With Haaland's latest hat-trick taking him closer to Sergio Aguero's club and Premier League record - and it making City the team with the most Premier League hat-tricks - Dan Burke, Dom Farrell and KC all give their memories of their favourite City hat-tricks down the years.
    The ticket prices for the Inter Milan game have been announced, too, with quite a few upset at how much they'll cost. We discuss that - plus wider ticketing issues - and we squeeze in a couple of Guardiola-era top threes.

    David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fan Richard Burns and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to discuss the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. They're focusing on Erling Haaland, after his hat-trick and the continuation of his incredible record, and on Ilkay Gundogan, as he makes his second debut for the club.
    Ipswich were the 100th visitor to the Etihad Stadium since it opened in 2003, so we take a look at City's records - both good and bad - against the 99 other opponents they've faced.
    James Jones from We Are West Ham drops in to help us preview the upcoming trip to the London Stadium - and we look at Guardiola's options on the wings, with the form of Jeremy Doku and Savinho, as Jack Grealish looks for chances to impress. We also focus on Rico Lewis and his start to the new season.
    On top of that, following the sad news that the former City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson passed away this week, we dedicate the end of the show to remembering his time in the Eastlands dugout.

    After Manchester City's opening day win at Stamford Bridge, David Mooney is joined by Dan Burke from One Football and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the game. Who were the standout performers against Chelsea and how did City solve the no-Rodri problem so well? We take a look at Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis and Bernardo Silva in particular.
    It looks like Ilkay Gundogan could be returning, too, so we look at how his arrival could affect the options in the squad and the make-up of Pep Guardiola's team selections.
    It's Ipswich Town next - and the first meeting in the league between the teams since they relegated City from the Premier League in 2001. Mooney explains why, around that time, he utterly despised the club... and we discover if he's managed to let go of those old hang-ups with Rich from The Suffolk Crunch, who also tells us all about what to expect from Kieran McKenna's side on Saturday.

    After Manchester City won the Community Shield on penalties, David Mooney is joined by City fans Bob Toole and Ciaran Murray to discuss the performance and the result. They also look at the penalty shoot-out and the stories that came out of it.
    With Chelsea on the horizon, they discuss which of the impressive younger players could have a role to play this weekend (plus the unfortunate injury to Oscar Bobb), while Dan Childs from Son of Chelsea speaks to Dan Burke to explain what on earth is happening at Stamford Bridge at the moment.
    We hear from the former City goalkeeper Nicky Weaver, who tells us why he fondly remembers a 3-0 defeat at Chelsea on the opening day of the 2006-07 season. And we also take a look at the introduction of semi-automated offside... part-way through the coming season.

    The Blue Moon Podcast is back for the 2024-25 season. Joining David Mooney is, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter, and Manchester City fan Ally Fogg to preview the new season.
    We start with a look back over the pre-season tour of the USA and its standout performers. Could Oscar Bobb, James McAtee or Nico O'Reilly have an impact in the first team in these opening weeks? We also look at the shape of the squad, as Julian Alvarez departs for Atletico Madrid.
    We speak to Howard Cohen, chair of the Disabled Supporters Association, after blue badge holders were told unexpectedly that it would now cost them per game to park at the Etihad this season.
    Pre-season might not be your bag, but in years gone by it used to be the only way to watch City against foreign opposition. Supporter Keith Hancock tells us about one extraordinary time in Denmark when he ended up on the bench alongside the players.
    And with the Olympics in Paris still going on, we hear about the only City player ever to win an Olympic medal in a sport that wasn't football. Mick Collins, who wrote a biography of the player, talks to us about Max Woosnam.
