E. 187 - The demolition in Cardiff/ Greenwood the CF

Subscribe! Rate the show 5 Stars! Leave a review to help the podcast get connected to most dope people like yourself! Manchester City are already sending up warning flares, and this episode makes the case for why the chaos is only just beginning. CrunkChocolate and Sharpie Charlie break down the first real look at the Enzo Maresca era, from captaincy questions and midfield reshuffling to the uncomfortable truth about where City already look vulnerable. They get into the biggest takeaways from the Community Shield, including why the result confirmed more than it shocked, what Donnarumma, Kovacic, and Ruben Dias reveal about the shape of this team, and why Matheus Nunes may be the most irreplaceable player on the pitch right now. You’ll hear a blunt read on Rodri’s absence, the logic behind the club’s midfield profile, and why some of the new pieces fit better than others. The "Baby Blue Baddies" segment turns the spotlight to Manchester City Women after their wild draw with Barcelona, where the hosts unpack what the result says about the squad’s resilience, depth, tactical flexibility, and why this team may actually be better positioned for trophies than the men. With transfers, breakout candidates, and a full-season outlook for the women’s side, this episode gives you the full City picture.

Choppin' It Up w/ Jack Gaughan

Subscribe! Rate the show 5 Stars! Leave a review to help the podcast get connected to most dope people like yourself! Manchester City’s new era is already exposing the questions that matter most - and this conversation with The Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan gets to the heart of them fast. From his World Cup experience to the brutal heat of the Asia preseason tour, Jack shares what actually stood out on the ground, what the crowds were really like, and why Pep’s old City feels like it’s giving way to something much more aggressive under Enzo Maresca. CrunkChocolate and Jack dig into the biggest pressure points facing City right now: whether Phil Foden can rediscover top form, how Gianluigi Donnarumma changes the build-up, why the midfield could look completely unrecognizable, and what the club’s transfer dominoes mean for players like Nico Gonzalez, Rico Lewis, Omar Marmoush, and Rayan Cherki. They also break down the ongoing uncertainty around Rodri, the growing buzz around Bouaddi, and why some of these exits may actually be the key to funding City’s next move.
