Dean Smith's tactical preferences
Improvement in central defense
Jack Grealish being world class
Just how good is Douglas Luiz?
What the COVID outbreak means for the club

S2 Ep28: Talking Aston Villa w/ Gareth Cooper from the Yushu Group

Maine Road Ramble is a Manchester City focused podcast originally created by Kevin Nelson and Ger Deegan, who met while writing for SB Nation a few years back. In it's present state, the Maine Road Ramble team is made up of Ger, Andrew Dettmer, Jon Ashley and Joe Ricci.

The podcast structure is quite loose and conversational with the banter ranging across all aspects of the game, including tactics, analytics, match recaps, and much more. Thanks to the size of our team, we also provide a couple of specialized series, such as transfer targets, legal ramifications, etc.

Andrew, Jon, and Joe discuss this question and what the future holds for Maine Road Ramble and for City. 



Happy trails everyone, it's been an absolute privilege bringing this content to you the past three years.

S4 Ep14: Did Stuart Attwell kill MRR?

Andrew and Jon cast their eyes over handy victories for City against Liverpool (League Cup) and Leeds (Premier League) ahead of a daunting set of fixtures in the first six weeks of 2023. There's plenty of Rico Lewis hype, Jack Grealish chat, and mind-boggling Erling Haaland maths.

S4 Ep13: Riconomic Boom: Lewis Shines Home and Away

Joe and Andrew discuss Messi finally reaching the summit of international football, their World Cup Team of the Tournament, and look ahead to City's return to club action against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.

S4 Ep12: Today, I feel Argentine

Jon, Andrew and Joe add their (somewhat forgetful at times) voices to the pile of World Cup previews currently sitting in your podcast queue. Reasons to choose ours over the others? It's less than 39 minutes long.

S4 Ep11: World Cup 2022: Expectations, Predictions, and Dark Horses

Jon, Andrew, and Joe sit down for what is not only the first and only Maine Road Ramble episode ever recorded in person, but the most emotionally shattered episode. They talk through their experience watching City nab a late 2-1 win over Fulham and give thanks to the many people who made this experience possible.
