Blue Moon Podcast - A Manchester City Show

A weekly podcast for Manchester City fans, looking back over the news of the week and the key events from matches played. Plus previews of upcoming games, exclusive interviews and City nostalgia. Extra nostalgia episodes each week are available by joining our Patreon.

After the nervy end to the 1-0 win at Brentford, David Mooney is joined by City fans Andy MacNab and Adam Monk to discuss Manchester City's recent form. The first half was dominant, the second half needed some fighting spirit... but three points is three points, so where does that leave City against their competitors this season?

The victory is also Pep Guardiola's 250th in the Premier League, making him the fastest manager to hit that landmark. The Athletic's Duncan Alexander joins us to talk about that achievement.

We also hear from the model Lucy Clarkson... She was the second person to play Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series and appeared at Maine Road when the game's publisher, Eidos, were the club's shirt sponsor. We get her memories of being frozen solid, giving out the man of the match award at the Manchester Derby in November 2000.

Making Hat-Tricks Great Again

After an agonising last-minute equaliser in Monaco (with a fair bit of controversy thrown in), David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss Manchester City's victory over Burnley and their draw in the Champions League. Did the scorelines of each game tell the whole story? Possibly not.

Erling Haaland's brace against Burnley made him the Premier League's top-scoring Norwegian, so we take a look at all of the other players that have played City who are their country's leading marksman in the top flight (and we discuss some of our favourite goals by them).

Then, as City travel to Brentford, before the international break, we hear from Mike Johnston from The Ealing Road podcast to find out about their start to the season - plus we look ahead to the match and what we want to see from Pep Guardiola's side.

We also take some time out to mention some awful refereeing decisions from the past, plus look at Bernardo Silva's pre-match comments about his future.

After a combative draw at Arsenal and a comfortable win at Huddersfield, David Mooney is joined by City fan James Faulkner and The Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to reflect on a busy week. 

They look at Pep Guardiola's set-up at The Emirates and how it's surprised everybody, plus there's a look into the 'good vibes' around the place at the moment after a number of things to boost team spirit.

With games against Burnley and Monaco to come, we also get insight from fans of those two clubs. Joe from TurfCast explains what he's expecting from this weekend's visit to the Etihad, while Damien from Radio Diagonale discusses how Monaco's position at the top of Ligue 1 might not be all it seems.

The Man Who Doesn't Know What His Toes Are

Back-to-back wins for Manchester City appears to have brought the confidence back ahead of a tricky tie with Arsenal. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from The City Ramble podcast, Amos Murphy, as we reflect on wins over Manchester United and Napoli.

After Phil Foden's performance across the two games, we focus on his return to form - plus we take a look at some other times that players have kissed the City badge in celebration. Erling Haaland is in the spotlight, too, with a selection of fine finishes this week... it seems like he's feeling inevitable in front of goal again?

Then, with Arsenal next up, we speak to Gunners fan Michael Keshani about their start to the season. And Matt Shaw from the podcast And He Takes That Chance joins us to explain how Huddersfield have been getting on recently, ahead of City's trip there in the League Cup.

David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to look ahead to the matches with Manchester United and Napoli this week. After two defeats in a row, City go into the Derby looking to bounce back against a United team that has also had a bit of a slow start to the season.

Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock gives insight into how Ruben Amorim's side are playing at the moment, while we also hear all about Napoli from Henry Bell and Michele Borelli from the podcast In The Shadow of Vesuvio. There's also the return of a certain Kevin De Bruyne this week, too.

Also this week, we'll hear from the football finance expert Kieran Maguire from the Price of Football podcast. That's after the news that City and the Premier League have come to a settlement on the second Associated Party Transactions case.

The Spaghetti Lock-Picker

After a second defeat in two games, David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and City fan KC to try and work out what went wrong (and what needs fixing) from the trip to Brighton.

The discuss how the game changed on a series of substitutions and how it was almost like there were two different Manchester City teams at the Amex... One that played the first hour and one that lost in the final half-hour. 

With the transfer window now closed and with it being one of the more chaotic ones that City have had in recent years, we look at the size of the squad overhaul and the change in faces that has happened over the last couple of months.

And, as Ederson leaves and Gianluigi Donnarumma joins, The Athletic's Jon Mackenzie speaks to the show about how City's build-up and possession (and out-of-possession) play might change over the course of this season.

After Manchester City's first defeat of the season, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and by Joe Butterfield from The City Ramble podcast to discuss what went wrong against Tottenham. They look at City playing through pressure, controlling the middle of the pitch, finishing chances and the goalkeepers.

Since there's been a lot of panic about the first loss, too, we take a look at the times when City have had a successful season despite a set-back in one of their opening two games... and there are some very memorable seasons where that's happened.

Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls joins the show to discuss Brighton, ahead of City's trip to the Amex on Saturday. What can they expect from their opposition and what would we like to see for City to bounce back?

Plus, we've got reaction to the Champions League draw, as BBC analysis suggests City have been given the fourth-hardest set of fixtures out of anyone in the competition.

After an opening day 4-0 victory at Wolves, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from One Football, Dan Burke to discuss the performance. They look at Tijjani Reijnders on his excellent debut, plus also how the other new signings were bedding in. And there's a look at the wing options, with Oscar Bobb also proving to have an exciting impact on his return.

With Spurs coming up this weekend, we catch up with Jack from Rule the Roost (before the news broke that Eze could be heading to Arsenal instead of Tottenham) to find out how their season is looking so far. Plus, with the hoodoo Spurs have had over City in recent years, we take a look at some of City's bogey teams.

Then, after some brilliant debuts last weekend, we also pick out Best City Debuts XI.

The Telescopic Scarecrow, the Mutant Bumpkin, and the Barnyard Goliath

The new season is almost here, so it's time to get back to it with some brand new Blue Moon Podcast nonsense. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to review the Club World Cup campaign, discuss the transfer business so far, and preview the upcoming match with Wolves.

Sam Rosbottom runs through the big stories that we've missed since we've not been on air, while we discuss the major talking points going into the new campaign... What will a Bernardo Silva-led dressing room look like? Which players will be on the coach to Molineux and what will it mean for those that aren't? What's going on with the goalkeepers?

Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves is on the show to explain how their preparations have gone for the new season. Plus, because it's a bit of a busier summer than usual, we've got an early set of alternative highlights... That's before we get to the monstrosity that is the brand new 'rain' kit...
