    Pavlovian Conditioning and Blind Faith

    Given we allowed for three games as we switched back to our regular Thursday recording schedule for the Blue Moon Podcast, you'd have been forgiven for thinking Manchester City might have won at least one of their matches in that time... but sadly not. Three draws and a potential eight-point gap to Arsenal as they face Liverpool not long after this recording means it's not been the happiest of New Years... David Mooney is joined by City fan Adam Monk and the BBC's football correspondent John Murray to work out what's happened.At least attention can turn away from Premier League woes for now, though, as Exeter City come to the Etihad in the FA Cup and the it's a tricky trip to Newcastle in the League Cup semi-final first leg. Since it's the first time City have ever played Exeter, we hear from football historian Gary James about the other one-off ties City have had courtesy of the FA Cup.We also get some insight into what to expect from the Grecians on Saturday from Jon from The Big Bank Theory podcast. With City perhaps naming an inexperienced side because of injuries and fatigue in the squad, are there nerves of an upset or should a heavily-rotated City side still have enough to make it into the fourth round draw?With the potential arrivals of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi (perhaps), we also discuss what the squad needs to give it a bit more oomf in the coming weeks... Plus, what's the most heart-breaking last-minute equaliser?==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    Studying Norman Wisdom

    For one final time in 2025, let's Blue Moon Podcast. In today's show, David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Dan Burke to discuss the hard-fought 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest. They look at the importance of the win and how the season is progressing, the key performers at The City Ground, and also the complaints around refereeing 'controversies'. With the year coming to a close, it's also time for the first instalment of the Alternative Highlights. Ciaran Murray and KC are back to dissect the weird and wonderful moments of the season so far, taking in August to December, including Erling Haaland's outfits, some cheeky social media posts, Guardiola's nonsense in press conferences, and how one City meme made national news. As we get back to our Thursday recording schedule for the new year, it means we've got THREE games to preview, too. We hear from Ant Waterson from Roker Report on Sunderland, Dan Childs from Son of Chelsea, and from Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls on Brighton. Plus, it looks like Antoine Semenyo could be making the move to City in January, so what would that mean for the squad and the wingers already there? And we even squeeze in the Blue Moon Podcast end-of-year awards. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    Unflustered by the Apocalypse

    After a not-so-thrilling but very comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News to discuss Manchester City's week.  Most of the talk has been off-the-pitch, with the news that City were looking at contingencies in case Pep Guardiola decided to leave at the end of this season... but then the manager spoke about it all at length in the press conference on Friday, so we look at what's been said and what it could mean for the end of his contract in 2027. It's Christmas week, so Mooney's also spent his weekend digging through the history books to look at some of the strangest facts and figures around City on December the 25th. Then we get insight into a, frankly, bizarre season so far for Nottingham Forest from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller. And what's all this about coming back from the Christmas break "fatty"? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and just two points off the top of the table... It's a far cry from where things were this time 12 months ago. David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Luke Stanley to discuss the week, with a focus on the performances in the last two games. Perhaps it wasn't top notch against Palace, but you can't argue with a 3-0 away win, while a much-changed team put in a professional display in the League Cup quarter-final tie. Speaking of the demons of last season, we're taking a look at how much things have improved a year on. City have scored more, conceded fewer, and taken more points than at this stage last season, so what has changed in the squad to recover from such a bad period and just how bad did it get? Plus, with West Ham to come this week, James Jones from We Are West Ham joins the show to discuss what's been going wrong for them so far this term and whether or not they're in real trouble at the bottom of the table. Plus... What do you know about Father Christmas in Norway? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    Sugar Puffs is a Children's Breakfast

    Check out the Blue Moon Podcast Annual 2026: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1882955 ========== Another pair of victories, as Manchester City put in perhaps their most controlled and dominant performance of the season against Sunderland... and then had to dig in and get the job done at Real Madrid. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from the Daily Mail, Jack Gaughan to discuss both of those matches. Dan Burke is on the show looking at Phil Foden's return to form and hearing what both the player and his manager said about the tough times he endured in the last 12-18 months. We also speak to comedian and Crystal Palace fan Andre Vincent about the match at Selhurst Park on Sunday, plus we look ahead to the tie with Brentford in the League Cup. On top of that, we're talking flashy assists and... urine that smells like perfume. Honestly. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    Many More Gasps

    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/bluemoon Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! ========== What an insane week it's been. Trying to get to the bottom of why Manchester City lost control of two games against 17th and 18th in the table when they had a comfortable lead in both matches is, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell and, from Football365, Sarah Winterburn. They join David Mooney to discuss the chaos of the games with Leeds and Fulham. They also take a look at City's 'tactical time out', which has drawn attention this week. Did they actually benefit from the huddle at the side of the pitch when Gianluigi Donnarumma went down against Leeds? Is it more concerning that Leeds still equalised after it and the momentum in the game didn't change? Then, at Fulham, in all the madness, Erling Haaland broke the Premier League record to become the fastest player to score 100 goals in the competition. That and Phil Foden's recent form is up for discussion, too. With Sunderland up next, Ant Waterson from Roker Report speaks to the show about what to expect from their visit to the Etihad, and with Real Madrid also coming up there are fears of what might happen if City don't tighten up their grip on matches. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

    I’m Not Watching This, Gerald

    The mood was good... and then Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen happened. David Mooney is joined by Paul Hirst from The Times and, from the City Ramble podcast, Amos Murphy to try and work out what on earth went wrong this week. Pep Guardiola made ten changes to the team for the Champions League and the performance was pretty disjoined... He admitted afterwards it might have been a misstep, but did he also not get much help from the players he gave opportunities to?  Then there was the VAR decisions at St James's Park that ignored a potential penalty on Phil Foden and that caused anger with an offside in the build-up to the winning goal. With Leeds and Fulham to come, we also hear from Calum Archibald who contributes to the Leeds website The Square Ball and from Sammy James who is part of the Fulhamish podcast. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
