David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and Ciaran Murray to discuss an eventful week. The Premier League title is back in City's hands and a 3-0 win over Bayern Munich has put them in a commanding position in the Champions League quarter final tie...

It's Leicester up next, so Neel from the Leicester podcast and YouTube channel Beyond the 90 joins the show to explain how their season so far has ended up with them in second-bottom in the table.

Sam Roscoe reflects on City's managerial merry-go-round of 1996, plus there's time to squeeze in questions about non-City players we love and why Stuart Pearce was sacked (cos he wasn't very good, soz).

David Mooney is joined by City fans Adam Monk and Dan Burke to look ahead to the return of the Premier League and City's game against Liverpool. Will Erling Haaland be fit? What will Guardiola do in the absence of Phil Foden? Which of the defenders will the game suit?

Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap gives us the Liverpool perspective on the weekend's fixture, plus Sam Roscoe takes a look at the famous faces that have been seen at the Etihad, in the light of Usain Bolt heading to the women's team win over Chelsea. 

We also discuss takeaway options after the game, tweets you hope Guardiola didn't see, and opposing players that wind you up for no reason at all.

City go into the international break with a storming 6-0 FA Cup win over Burnley. David Mooney is joined by City fans Rachel Herdson and Richard Burns to reflect on that game -- and on Erling Haaland's ridiculousness. They look at the form of the other attacking players, Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden. Plus there's a focus on the defence, as Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias impress.

It's also nearly 20 years since City moved to Eastlands, so Dan Burke, Dom Farrell and Adam Carter reflect on the different eras that club has gone through during those last two decades.

David Mooney is joined by City fans Joe Butterfield and Ciaran Murray to review the extraordinary week for Erling Haaland. Six goals for the Norwegian, across wins against Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig, and plenty more records broken.

Are you obsessed with praying that Arsenal will drop points in this title race, too? We look at the implications of a close run-in and what you can do to avoid driving yourself mad when watching City's rivals play.

There's Burnley on the horizon in the FA Cup, so we hear from Burnley fan and podcaster Kevin Robinson. He explains why things are going so right for Vincent Kompany's team and what's got them into such a commanding position in the Championship.

And then there's Guardiola's press conference from midweek, too... Plenty to dissect from that in this week's episode.

After the win over Newcastle, David Mooney is joined by The Manchester Evening News Chief City Writer, Simon Bajkowski, and by City fan Gaz to review the game and look ahead to the upcoming week of matches. 

We check in with Palace fan and comedian Andre Vincent ahead of Saturday -- and look at Guardiola's selection issues around that game and the second leg with RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk is looking at City's Super-Subs under Guardiola -- as Bernardo scored within two minutes of joining the action last weekend. Plus Jon Mackenzie from Tifo Football explains why City sometimes take short goal kicks TO Ederson.

A pair of victories with the pressure eased by early goals -- that's how we begin this week's episode of the Blue Moon Podcast. David Mooney is joined by City fan and journalist, Dan Burke, plus Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk, to review the wins over Bournemouth and Bristol City.

Phil Foden is in the spotlight, as his return to form helps the team perform well -- and as he became the fourth-youngest player to make his 200th appearance for City. Sam Roscoe hears from the three who were younger than him for their double-century of games.

Alex Hurst from the Newcastle podcast True Faith joins the show to discuss the weekend's upcoming fixtures -- plus, who would go on your Manchester City version of Mount Rushmore?
