Show Notes
It's been a week of excellent cup victories for Manchester City. To celebrate, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and City fan Chris Higginbottom. They discuss the 10-1 win over Exeter and then the 2-0 success in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal at Newcastle.It was the first time since 1987 that City scored double-figures in a game and, strangely, the scoreline matched the date (for only the 18th time in City's history)... but it was a remarkable bit of history-making from Pep Guardiola's side. At the same time, City were also on the receiving end of a VAR controversy, as the video assistant took five-and-a-half minutes to disallow what seems to be a perfectly reasonable goal at St James's Park.With trips to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt to come, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock and Norwegian journalist covering Glimt, Stian Høgland to get some idea of what City can expect this week.Plus, as young players like Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo impress, we discuss what options Guardiola has for the upcoming games and how necessary it is for the club to move again in the transfer market this month, as Antoine Semenyo settles in very nicely.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

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.
