A third Premier League defeat in a row isn’t exactly the best preparation for an international break, so David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and by the BBC football correspondent John Murray to stew on it all.
Why were City so open at Nottingham Forest and why were a team that haven’t been able to score or win at home all season able to find it so easy to both score and win? We try to get to the bottom of it all.
This isn’t the first time ‘Dr City’ has turned up and nursed an opponent back to health, so we dig through the archives to find some of the more recent times when the opposition have hit form after breaking their duck against City.
And given Rayan Cherki’s goal at the City Ground, we’re looking at the best City consolation strikes.

It might not have been a classic performance against RB Leipzig, but it got the job done. David Mooney is joined by City fans Chris Higginbottom and James Faulkner to discuss the victory in Germany, with a bit of a focus on individual errors and how the team is riding through bad moments.
Nottingham Forest are up next in the Premier League, as City look to get back to winning ways domestically. Journalist and Forest fan Daniel Storey speaks to the show about how things have started for this season at The City Ground.
And with City's opening goal against Leipzig, we discuss the best own goals in City games... not including Jamie Pollock, because that one's a given.

Back-to-back defeats in the Premier League has halted the momentum of the season somewhat, so is this where we begin to see what both the team and Enzo Maresca are made of? David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Matt Holland to discuss the loss to Brighton on Saturday.
It’s a return to Champions League action on Wednesday, too, so we hear from journalist Guido Schafer, who covers RB Leipzig. What can City expect from their trip to Germany and how important is it to get the good vibes back after the last week?
Plus, with Aston Villa laying out their intentions to take legal action on comments made about their club, we discuss whether City should be doing more (or should have done more in the past) when it comes to how the club have been talked about.

It took a penalty shootout, but Manchester City squeaked past Brighton in the fourth round of the League Cup in the first of this week’s double-header. David Mooney is joined by City fan Sam Rosbottom and, from The City Ramble podcast, Joe Olivier to discuss the match.
They also look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League match with the seagulls and look at what elements might be different in the top flight compared to what happened on Wednesday night.
We discover all the previous times City have played a team in consecutive matches throughout the Premier League era, plus we discuss City best penalty shootout performances, the most embarrassing cup exits, and the greatest flukes the team has scored.

After City's first Premier League defeat of the season, David Mooney is joined by City fan Bob Toole and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to look at what went wrong at Villa Park. Two individual errors cost the team for Villa's goals, but with the way more games have been open this season, was this result always possible?
With a double-header against Brighton on the horizon, starting with Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie, we hear from Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls to find out more about their start to the season. What will be different about the League Cup fixture compared to the game in the Premier League next weekend?
Plus, with Donnarumma's goalkeeping error, we take an early Halloween visit to the worst mistakes by keepers that we can remember.

Following the comprehensive 5-1 win over AEK Athens, David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and City fan Ciaran Murray. They discuss the rotated team’s performance, the cheekiness of Rayan Cherki, and the quality on show from Phil Foden.
With a potentially tricky test up next at Villa Park, we hear from Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler as we preview Saturday’s game.
Plus, what impact has the guilty verdict (and everything that’s come with it) had on you as you try to process what’s been happening this last few weeks?

After the 3-2 win over Ipswich, Enzo Maresca became the first new manager of a club to win their opening seven Premier League games. David Mooney is joined by City fans Ally Fogg and Chris Higginbottom to discuss the performance on Saturday, plus to look at how well the Maresca is doing given everything that's happening at the club right now.
They look ahead to the visit of AEK Athens on Tuesday, with a particular focus on who might play in midfield given the performances of Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi in recent weeks. Plus, they discuss Phil Foden's role now he's available again and after he scored the opener at the weekend.
Also, why have players switched back to long-sleeved shirts?

David Mooney is joined by City fans Richard Burns and Sam Rosbottom to discuss everything that happened in the very exciting (but ultimately fruitless) Champions League tie with Paris Saint Germain. What went wrong for City to be 3-0 down in around half an hour, but what changed to produce a spirited second-half fightback that probably didn't get the rewards it deserved?
Martin from Talking Town joins the show to discuss Ipswich's start to the season, ahead of the visit to the Etihad on Saturday. What can City expect and how will Enzo Maresca approach the game?

After a few weeks of off-the-field pressure following the guilty verdict in the Premier League charges, Manchester City returned to action with a 3-0 win at Anfield. David Mooney is joined by Paul Hirst from The Times and City fan Luke Stanley from the MCFC Lads podcast and socials to discuss the performance and the circumstances around the game at Liverpool.
With PSG visiting the Etihad on Wednesday, they also look ahead to that match. Marc Damon from PSG Talk explains how the reigning two-time Champions League winners have started this season as well.
Plus, we take a look at how Enzo Maresca is settling into the job at City, given the challenge of guiding the club through this tricky time while also replacing Pep Guardiola.

Ahead of the trip to Liverpool in the first game since the verdict from the independent commission was announced, David Mooney is joined by City fan Liam Wright and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss what the match is going to look like. Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap joins the show to give his thoughts, with lots of questions about whether the off-the-pitch story will affect what happens during the 90 minutes.

We're getting closer to the return of domestic football, but there's still another week to go before a ball is kicked. We've now learned that Manchester City have appealed the independent commission's verdict on the Premier League charges, David Mooney is joined by City fans Mike Hammond and James Faulkner to discuss how they're feeling.
For a bit of a break from the non-stop charges-chat, we've finally delivered on our threat to play out our interview with the former City forward Rodney Marsh. He's discussing how he feels his arrival at Maine Road cost City the title that year, why he got on so well with former City full back Willie Donachie, and the situation that led to his departure.

After a ding-dong (or helter-skelter, but NOT a topsy-turvy) game against Sunderland, David Mooney is joined by City fan KC and, from the City Ramble podcast Amos Murphy, to try and work out what happened in all of the chaos.
Why couldn't City control the game and why did it get so crazy at the Etihad? What does it say about City's ability to keep going after Sunderland kept equalising? And, with five wins from five in the Premier League, seven wins from seven in total, how do we rate the performances with those perfect results?
We also hear from the former City goalkeeper Tommy Wright, who talks about joining the club during a period of turmoil in the late 1990s and about becoming back-up to Nicky Weaver as he broke into the team.

Straight after the 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Norwich, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom at the Etihad to discuss everything that happened over the last week, including some controversial moments of the 1-0 win at Old Trafford. Phil Foden's red card (and Bruno Fernandes's role in it) are a major bone of contention, but we also look at the fallout from the VAR check on Erling Haaland's goal and a few key individual performances.
Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News joins us to look ahead to the upcoming match with Sunderland, plus we hear from Ant Waterson from Roker Report to find out more about their start to the season. Then the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan subs in to discuss mentality changes and 'getting away with one'.
On top of that, we also take a look at all the times in the Premier League era when City have had a player sent off at 0-0 (or worse, when losing) and have still gone on to win the game.

Two more wins for Enzo Maresca's Manchester City mean they go into the Manchester Derby on Sunday with back-to-back clean sheets and sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table. Alongside the good results, what have the performances told us about this new-look version of the team?
David Mooney is joined by Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News and Dom Farrell from Sporting News to pick through the talking points from the wins over Coventry and Porto.
For the first time in a decade, City go into the Manchester Derby with a new manager in the dugout, so we take a look at the records of the previous bosses on their first time facing Manchester United. Plus, we look ahead to the Norwich game with Norwich fan Dan Greengrass.

It's been a busy week for Manchester City. It all started with a comprehensive 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, with impressive performances from a number of players. David Mooney is joined by City fans Bob Toole and Gaz to discuss what happened at Selhurst Park, with a keen eye on Rayan Cherki, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.
Ahead of that game, it was felt that the squad was far from finished. So with late moves in the transfer window for Iliman Ndiaye, Allan and Enzo Fernandez (on top of the previous business this summer), how is it all feeling now? We take a look at one of City's busiest transfer windows.
Alex Howell and Katie Wrench from the Citizens Trust speak to the show about what the new supporters' union has achieved in its first few months, while author and Porto fan Miguel Lourenço Pereira explains what City can expect in their first Champions League game. We also look ahead to what side Enzo Maresca may pick for this weekend's match with Coventry.
Oh... and what were the best and worst transfer deadline days from years gone by?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After back-to-back 3-0 victories, Manchester City have (at the very least) made sure the title race goes down to the final week of the season. David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to reflect on the performances and the results against both Brentford and Crystal Palace.
There was impressive displays from Phil Foden this week, so we look at whether he could grab a place in the starting XI for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday... and with such a big game in mind, how does Pep Guardiola balance that and going away to Bournemouth the following Tuesday?
Sam Rosbottom is on the show to talk through some weird, quirky and strange facts and figures about City in FA Cup finals, while the journalist and Bournemouth fan Robert Santonna returns to give his thoughts on the Cherries' push for a European spot.

After City stumbled at Everton, the big question of how problematic it was to their title ambitions could get an answer this week. David Mooney is joined by The Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan and, from StatCity.co.uk, Adam Carter to discuss the performance and what went wrong in a mad 13-minute spell at the Hill Dickinson.
With Brentford up next, we hear from Mike Johnston from The Ealing Road podcast to find out how their chase for European football is going. And, after that, it's that re-arranged game with Crystal Palace... following on from Arsenal's trip to West Ham. When all those games have been played, we should have a clearer idea of how realistic it is for City to reclaim the crown.
The rumours about Pep Guardiola's future have been gaining momentum for a while, now, too. On today's show, we take a look at everything that he has said about it this season and where the stories have come from.
Plus, Phil Foden's signed a brand new deal, Jeremy Doku's whacked a couple of excellent edge-of-the-box strikes in, and there's been more heavy tackles on City players that have gone unpunished.

Yet another FA Cup semi-final successfully navigated means Pep Guardiola will become the first person to lead a team to four successive Cup Finals. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from Football365, Sarah Winterburn to discuss the week's news.
That FA Cup Final has had a knock-on effect all over the place, too. It means Guardiola will become the City manager with the most matches taken charge of at the end of this season, taking him to 593 (one more than Les McDowall). We speak to the football historian Gary James about that milestone and about the man Pep will overtake.
That extra game next month has also caused a bit of fixture congestion. City wanted to play away at Bournemouth before the trip to Wembley, but the logistics of the calendar and the Premier League have nudged it to the final midweek of the season instead. We look at what's happened there.
And, with Everton on the horizon on Monday, we hear from Matt Jones from The Blue Room to find out how their end-of-season is looking. What can City expect on their first visit to the Hill Dickinson?

Manchester City are back to the top of the Premier League table. It's the narrowest of narrow margins - they're above Arsenal purely by virtue of scoring more goals - but it's still a much more advantageous position than they've been in for quite some time. David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Gaz to discuss the fallout from the games against Arsenal and Burnley.
The Athletic's tactics writer, Michael Cox (also known as Zonal Marking on socials), speaks to the show about how Pep Guardiola is using Nico O'Reilly and how it's an extension of how the manager has used his full-backs at City... in an interview recorded before O'Reilly played in midfield on Wednesday.
Plus, Glen de la Cour from the Southampton podcast Total Saints joins the episode to discuss what to expect on Saturday for the FA Cup semi-final. If City have selection questions over fatigue in the squad, after two high-pressure games, Southampton have an interesting dilemma in the shape of a crucial tie with fellow promotion-hopefuls Ipswich on Tuesday.
And... when have City players 'got away with one'?

After a comprehensive 3-0 win over Chelsea, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ally Fogg and football commentator Mike Minay to reflect on where that has left the title race - in the wake of Arsenal's defeat at home to Bournemouth. They look at the strength of the back five, plus the influence of Rayan Cherki on City's creativity at the business end of the season.
Why do City always seem to hit their stride in the springtime? Sam Rosbottom has been looking at what Pep Guardiola and others say about it. Plus, with Arsenal to come, we hear from Arsenal fan Michael Keshani about the mood at the Emirates after the last few weeks.
On top of that, we've also got Guardiola's fashion sense, our favourite pre-takeover players and goals, and mascots that we hate (for various reasons).
