Blue Moon Podcast - A Manchester City Show

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.

With PSG visiting the Etihad on Wednesday, they also look ahead to that match. Marc Damon from PSG Talk explains how the reigning two-time Champions League winners have started this season as well.

Plus, we take a look at how Enzo Maresca is settling into the job at City, given the challenge of guiding the club through this tricky time while also replacing Pep Guardiola.

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.

We're getting closer to the return of domestic football, but there's still another week to go before a ball is kicked. We've now learned that Manchester City have appealed the independent commission's verdict on the Premier League charges, David Mooney is joined by City fans Mike Hammond and James Faulkner to discuss how they're feeling.

For a bit of a break from the non-stop charges-chat, we've finally delivered on our threat to play out our interview with the former City forward Rodney Marsh. He's discussing how he feels his arrival at Maine Road cost City the title that year, why he got on so well with former City full back Willie Donachie, and the situation that led to his departure.

After a ding-dong (or helter-skelter, but NOT a topsy-turvy) game against Sunderland, David Mooney is joined by City fan KC and, from the City Ramble podcast Amos Murphy, to try and work out what happened in all of the chaos.

Why couldn't City control the game and why did it get so crazy at the Etihad? What does it say about City's ability to keep going after Sunderland kept equalising? And, with five wins from five in the Premier League, seven wins from seven in total, how do we rate the performances with those perfect results?

We also hear from the former City goalkeeper Tommy Wright, who talks about joining the club during a period of turmoil in the late 1990s and about becoming back-up to Nicky Weaver as he broke into the team.

Straight after the 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Norwich, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom at the Etihad to discuss everything that happened over the last week, including some controversial moments of the 1-0 win at Old Trafford. Phil Foden's red card (and Bruno Fernandes's role in it) are a major bone of contention, but we also look at the fallout from the VAR check on Erling Haaland's goal and a few key individual performances.

Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News joins us to look ahead to the upcoming match with Sunderland, plus we hear from Ant Waterson from Roker Report to find out more about their start to the season. Then the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan subs in to discuss mentality changes and 'getting away with one'.

On top of that, we also take a look at all the times in the Premier League era when City have had a player sent off at 0-0 (or worse, when losing) and have still gone on to win the game.

Two more wins for Enzo Maresca's Manchester City mean they go into the Manchester Derby on Sunday with back-to-back clean sheets and sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table. Alongside the good results, what have the performances told us about this new-look version of the team?

David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to pick through the talking points from the wins over Coventry and Porto.

For the first time in a decade, City go into the Manchester Derby with a new manager in the dugout, so we take a look at the records of the previous bosses on their first time facing Manchester United. Plus, we look ahead to the Norwich game with Norwich fan Dan Greengrass.

It's been a busy week for Manchester City. It all started with a comprehensive 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, with impressive performances from a number of players. David Mooney is joined by City fans Bob Toole and Gaz to discuss what happened at Selhurst Park, with a keen eye on Rayan Cherki, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

Ahead of that game, it was felt that the squad was far from finished. So with late moves in the transfer window for Iliman Ndiaye, Allan and Enzo Fernandez (on top of the previous business this summer), how is it all feeling now? We take a look at one of City's busiest transfer windows.

Alex Howell and Katie Wrench from the Citizens Trust speak to the show about what the new supporters' union has achieved in its first few months, while author and Porto fan Miguel Lourenço Pereira explains what City can expect in their first Champions League game. We also look ahead to what side Enzo Maresca may pick for this weekend's match with Coventry.

Oh... and what were the best and worst transfer deadline days from years gone by?

After the last-gasp win over Bournemouth, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from Sky Sports, Ben Ransom to discuss everything that happened in Enzo Maresca's first Premier League game in charge. Marc Guehi was a surprise inclusion in the midfield, while the VAR overturn in stoppage time was a welcome surprise given City's history was the video referee in the closing stages of matches.

The turnaround on Sunday was the latest City have been losing a Premier League match that they've gone on to win since the famous QPR game in 2012, so Bethan Holmes takes a look at all the other times since then that the team has been behind in the final 10 minutes only to go on and win.

With Crystal Palace coming up on Friday night, we hear from Eagles fan Robbie Scotcher all about their start to the season and how their preparations have gone throughout the summer. Plus, will City have any more new faces through the door by the time the game arrives (or at least before the transfer deadline passes next week)?

On top of all of that, we're talking about a Haaland haircut, life inside a black hole, and City's best one-season wonders.
