Show Notes
An absolute snooze-fest against Salford won't stop us! Never fear, the Blue Moon Podcast is here to try and find the interesting bits of a dull game... Or, we might actually focus more on the other bits of news from the week. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from The Times, Paul Hirst to discuss everything from the last seven days.
In the news is James Trafford – he's given a couple of interviews about his situation at the club and the reaction has been very polarised... Should he have stayed quiet now that the transfer window is shut or did he actually say nothing that was a problem, given his lack of game time since he arrived back from Burnley?
On top of that, it's time for Newcastle this weekend... as the title-race gets more interesting, following Arsenal's draw at Wolves. We'll get the views of Sam Dalling from the Newcastle podcast True Faith.
And, on top of that, as James Milner looks likely to be the outright record-holder for players with the most Premier League appearances, we look at the four players of the top five appearance-makers who have pulled on the City shirt.

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.
