    The Oracle of the Universe

    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. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    The Willies Aren't Not Up Me

    After a humbling afternoon in Cardiff, David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to pick over the defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield. It wasn't really the scoreline that put the frighteners on anyone, more the manner of the loss... so what does that mean for City in the early stages of the Enzo Maresca era? As Rodri leaves for Barcelona and as it looks like there may be further midfield departures, we take a look at the shape the squad is in ahead of the match with Bournemouth. What can we expect from the opening Premier League game of the season? It was also reported this week that Rodri had refused to play for City if they didn't sanction a sale this summer... Except he didn't say that. We're taking a look at why fake news appears to be at an all time high this year. Plus, we also speak to the author and City fan Alex Timperley, whose new book 'For The Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World' is out now. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    At Least It's Not AI

    The Blue Moon Podcast is back for YET another season... On today's show, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and by the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to look back over the pre-season tour of Asia for Manchester City and to discuss what's new about the Enzo Maresca era at the club. The Athletic's Sam Lee has been speaking to the players on the tour, so he's here to look at what they've said about what's different tactically. Plus, we speak to Tifo's Jon Mackenzie, whose new book "The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola Haunts Modern Football Tactics", looks at how much City's former manager has influenced how we all see the game. We take a look ahead to the Community Shield tie with Arsenal on Sunday, plus (and we make no apologies for this) we're starting off as weirdly as we mean to go on by taking a look at all the times that City have played on the same day as a partial or total solar eclipse. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    Making Us Dream Again (Kevin Keegan Special)

    With the sad news that the former City manager Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75, David Mooney is joined by City fans Liam Wright and Andy MacNab to discuss his legacy at the club. After taking over in 2001, he led City to promotion from the second tier in style, setting a club record points total and equalling the record for the number of goals City had scored in a single season. In the final season at Maine Road and City's first back in the Premier League, he led the club to a ninth-placed finish and brought European football back to the blue half of Manchester, via the UEFA Fair Play league, as he oversaw the move to what's now the Etihad Stadium. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    The End of an Era (Pep Guardiola Special)

  8. May 20

    Is That Batman?

    What a week. Manchester City have lifted the FA Cup to make it a domestic cup double, but a draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday also ended their hopes of lifting the Premier League title... while the news also broke this week that Pep Guardiola will call time on his career at the Etihad at the end of the season. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from the Manchester Evening News, Simon Bajkowski to try and make sense of all the emotions that we're feeling. Both the victory over Chelsea and the stalemate on the south coast can only be viewed through the prism of the last days of the Guardiola era, with similar thoughts looking ahead to this Sunday's match with Aston Villa. What will life look like after Pep? We hear from Barcelona fan Manu and Bayern Munich fan Felipe as they explain what happened to their clubs after Guardiola stepped down. And why is Enzo Maresca the club's choice of successor? We discuss it all. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
