The international break is coming to an end, which means it's a return to action for Manchester City. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from One Football, Dan Burke. Together, they look ahead to the FA Cup tie with Bournemouth and the Premier League fixture against Leicester.
Neel from Beyond the 90 LCFC joins the show to explain what's been going wrong at the King Power this season and what his hopes are for their trip to the Etihad on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the former City defender Danny Granville is on the show, discussing his time at Maine Road - from joining Joe Royle's promotion-chasing side in the summer of 1999, through going up at Blackburn to relegation at Ipswich, and then his departure under Kevin Keegan.
Plus, why do so many people covering the background to the Premier League charges case omit that some of the evidence at CAS in the UEFA case was not proven instead of time-barred? And what would happen if the 2012 City team played the 2023 one?

To review the 2024-25 season and look ahead to what 2025-26 might bring, David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom, Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News, and the former City captain Paul Lake for the live show at Idle Hands in Manchester. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a disappointment at Wembley and an emotional goodbye to Kevin De Bruyne in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns, The Athletic's Jon Mackenzie, and, from StatCity.co.uk , Adam Carter, to review the week. What's the difference between the denial of a goalscoring opportunity on a Saturday in a Cup Final and the denial of a goalscoring opportunity on a Tuesday in the Premier League? Lots, apparently, so we'll get into all of that. Plus, we look at the bigger picture, as performances continue to improve and the team continues to look more stable (albeit with the odd 'bozo' moment). With a crucial game against Fulham coming up where City need a point to be sure of playing in next season's Champions League, we look ahead to that and the nerves about how tight the table is in the hunt for the top five. And it's time for the alternative highlights of the season with Ciaran Murray (with a cameo from a special guest, too). ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a dour 0-0 draw at Southampton and ahead of a third successive FA Cup Final appearance, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ally Fogg and, from StatCity.co.uk , Adam Carter. They discuss the bore draw on the south coast and look at Ruben Dias's comments after the game: Fair enough or should he keep quiet with those grumbles? Crystal Palace fan Robbie Scotcher joins the show to give insight into the feeling at Selhurst Park ahead of the trip to Wembley. Plus, there's the match with Bournemouth... where City might be needing to play catch-up in the race to finish in the top five. That Bournemouth game is likely to be the final time that Kevin De Bruyne pulls on a blue shirt for a competitive game at The Etihad, so we're taking some time to look at his legacy at the club before what will be one of the toughest goodbyes ever said to a departing player. On top of that, there's been some transfer rumours bouncing around the mill this week, so we have a look at what's been said about Florian Wirtz, Tijjani Reijnders, Morgan Gibbs-White and Tino Livramento. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Following Manchester City's 1-0 win over Wolves, David Mooney is joined by City fan Richard Burns and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss the performance and big moments from the match. They look at the displays from both Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, plus they talk about the fan protests from the first six minutes. With already-relegated Southampton up next, Sam Rosbottom gives us the details of all the times previously when City have faced a team in the Premier League that have already been doomed to finish inside the bottom three. We look ahead to that game and how Pep Guardiola may approach it with the FA Cup Final also in his sights. Plus, Saints fan Glen de la Cour, from Total Saints, also joins the show to explain what's gone wrong at St Mary's this season. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

1:27:32

On Sunday 7 May 2000, Manchester City completed back-to-back promotions to return to the Premier League. Just under a year after winning the third tier playoff in a dramatic match at Wembley with Gillingham, the team came from behind to win an extraordinary game with Blackburn at Ewood Park to win promotion to the Premier League. For the first time in a long time, the club were no longer under-achieving. In this special episode, David Mooney speaks to all of the key figures from the 1999-2000 season to get the inside story of how the club was able to complete its recovery from its lowest ever position to return to the top flight of English football. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Another successful trip to Wembley for Pep Guardiola means a third FA Cup final in a row for Manchester City. David Mooney is joined by One Football's Dan Burke and, from the Manchester Evening News, Simon Bajkowski to discuss the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with a particular focus on Rico Lewis after his performance in midfield. After the impact that Nico O'Reilly has made to the team in the last few weeks, we take a look at all of the makeshift left backs that Guardiola has employed at City - and how he's changed their role in the team depending on the skills they have. Plus we look at the role that O'Reilly could have been now and the end of the season and beyond. With a Friday night game against Wolves coming up, we look ahead to that with the help of Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves. Plus, there's another protest planned for that evening, so we discuss what was said in the open letter sent to Pep Guardiola by fan groups this week. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

A last-minute winner is always great for picking up the mood! Back-to-back victories have put Manchester City in a commanding position in the race for the top five this season and have got the confidence flowing again ahead of an FA Cup semi-final against one of the Premier League's highest performing teams, too. David Mooney is joined by City fan Helen Powell and by the BBC's Chief Football Writer, Phil McNulty, to review both the wins against Everton and Aston Villa, plus to look ahead to that Wembley trip to face Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Journalist and Forest fan Daniel Storey explains why things have been going so well for them this season (and why their Monday night win over Spurs was very, very welcome) - plus we take a look back at Stuart Pearce's time at City. It's 20 years since he took the managerial hot seat and, in a week where City face Forest, it seems appropriate to reflect on that. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The attention is on Kevin De Bruyne after a performance that rolled back they years, but there's also a discussion to be had about the 'spirit' returning, as Pep Guardiola said this week. With Everton next up and City's final ever trip to Goodison Park, we hear from Matt Jones from The Blue Room about their recovery under David Moyes. Plus, Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler is on the show to preview Aston Villa's visit to the Etihad on Tuesday. Who needs to do what to qualify for next season's Champions League? And there are more protests planned for upcoming home games around ticketing issues with the club, so Dante from The 1894 Group speaks to us about the action that's been taken recently. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After a rather boring Manchester Derby, David Mooney is joined by City fans KC and Gaz to reflect on why the game went the way it did... and if there was anything City, in their current situation, could have done to get more out of the game. Dan Burke reflects on all of the previous Premier League Manchester Derbies that have ended goalless, while we also discuss Kevin De Bruyne's legacy at the Etihad. He announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, so we've been gathering your memories of his decade in a blue shirt. It's Crystal Palace up next for City, so comedian and Palace fan Andre Vincent is back on the show to try and explain why they're having such a good time of it this season so far. How urgent is a win for City in the race for next season's Champions League places? We've also had the news that season ticket and matchday ticket prices will be frozen for next season, thanks to action by supporter fan groups and the City Matters fan advisory board. What should happen next and how can this be built on for the future? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After back-to-back wins that have seen Manchester City take a commanding position in the race for the top four/five and make it into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, David Mooney is joined by Nick Clarke from the MCFC Fans Foodbank Support group and by Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the week. With supporters protesting against the club's ticket partnerships and policies, they look at the action that was taken during the opening nine minutes of the win over Leicester and what is hoped it will achieve in the coming weeks and months. After a good performance in the centre of the pitch, we discuss what role Jack Grealish can have between now and the end of the season, plus it was a big week for Nico O'Reilly, after he changed the game at Bournemouth and followed that up by performing very well in midweek. And, with the Manchester Derby on the horizon, we preview that match - and look back to some local derbies that City have NEVER played in the Premier League. We'll hear from fans of Bury, Macclesfield and Stockport with their memories of visits to Maine Road. On top of all of that... what's the most audacious goal City have scored? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

With the international break arriving, there is a bit of room to look away from the pitch on this week's Blue Moon Podcast. David Mooney is joined by City fans KC and Richard Burns to discuss the 2-2 draw with Brighton, with a look at how the team is struggling to keep control of games, how the wingers might need some help (or need to provide better deliveries), and how City are shaping up in the Champions League chase. We talked on a recent show about how City were often the first team to do something in English football... so we put Sam Rosbottom on the case to dig through the history books to discover some of the less well-known footballing firsts that the club is responsible for. After St Patrick's Day this week, we also take a look at City's recent history of Irish player - from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland - and we also talk about the best goals City have scored that have left the goalkeeper standing. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

After defeat at Nottingham Forest, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and Mark Critchley from The Athletic to discuss Manchester City's position in the battle for the Champions League places. Focusing on the match at the City Ground, they look at the question of creativity from wide areas and City's chance-creation, given they had a lot of the ball and not a lot to show for it. With those dropped points, they discuss what it will take between now and May to qualify for next season's top European competition. Brighton are the visitors to the Etihad on Saturday, looking for their first ever league double over City... How can Pep Guardiola's side stop that from happening and stop another team in the top four (or five) race from going ahead in the table? Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls explains what to expect from the away side, too. Tickets are again in the spotlight, following the 1894 Group's huge survey of fans on ticketing issues - and there's also the retirement of Alvaro Negredo to consider. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

With Nottingham Forest coming up, we hear from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller, as they go into this weekend's game a point ahead of City in the battle for the top four. We also reflect on one of the most egregious pieces of cheating, which happened 35 years ago this week - as we hear from Andy Dibble about a goal he conceded at The City Ground in 1990. Plus, we're expecting the verdict on the Premier League charges "imminently" - we look at the story and the nuts and bolts of how it's being covered (and if anything can be read into that), as judgement day nears. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
