Show Notes
For one final time in 2025, let's Blue Moon Podcast. In today's show, David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Dan Burke to discuss the hard-fought 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest. They look at the importance of the win and how the season is progressing, the key performers at The City Ground, and also the complaints around refereeing 'controversies'.With the year coming to a close, it's also time for the first instalment of the Alternative Highlights. Ciaran Murray and KC are back to dissect the weird and wonderful moments of the season so far, taking in August to December, including Erling Haaland's outfits, some cheeky social media posts, Guardiola's nonsense in press conferences, and how one City meme made national news.As we get back to our Thursday recording schedule for the new year, it means we've got THREE games to preview, too. We hear from Ant Waterson from Roker Report on Sunderland, Dan Childs from Son of Chelsea, and from Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls on Brighton.Plus, it looks like Antoine Semenyo could be making the move to City in January, so what would that mean for the squad and the wingers already there? And we even squeeze in the Blue Moon Podcast end-of-year awards.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

More from Blue Moon Podcast - A Manchester City Show
Following the comprehensive 5-1 win over AEK Athens, David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and City fan Ciaran Murray. They discuss the rotated team’s performance, the cheekiness of Rayan Cherki, and the quality on show from Phil Foden.
After the 3-2 win over Ipswich, Enzo Maresca became the first new manager of a club to win their opening seven Premier League games. David Mooney is joined by City fans Ally Fogg and Chris Higginbottom to discuss the performance on Saturday, plus to look at how well the Maresca is doing given everything that's happening at the club right now.
David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Sam Rosbottom to discuss everything that happened in the very exciting (but ultimately fruitless) Champions League tie with Paris Saint Germain. What went wrong for City to be 3-0 down in around half an hour, but what changed to produce a spirited second-half fightback that probably didn't get the rewards it deserved?
After a few weeks of off-the-field pressure following the guilty verdict in the Premier League charges, Manchester City returned to action with a 3-0 win at Anfield. David Mooney is joined by Paul Hirst from The Times and City fan Luke Stanley from the MCFC Lads podcast and socials to discuss the performance and the circumstances around the game at Liverpool.
Ahead of the trip to Liverpool in the first game since the verdict from the independent commission was announced, David Mooney is joined by City fan Liam Wright and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss what the match is going to look like. Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap joins the show to give his thoughts, with lots of questions about whether the off-the-pitch story will affect what happens during the 90 minutes.
