Had the great pleasure last week of a visit from @swp29 at @OneFootball HQ in Berlin as part of @ManCity's Global Trophy Tour 🏆 You can watch or listen to the podcast we made with him here... onefootball.com/en/news/onefoo…

We recorded the last @BlueMoonPodcast of 2025 this morning, where I discussed #MCFC's latest bigly win, manufactured controversy, the title race, Semenyo, Bobb and more with @DavidMooney and @RichardTheBurns 🩵 pod.fo/e/36f99a

Time for the Christmas Quiz! Six podcast regulars stewing over City trivia: @DomFarrell1986, @Krap_Curl, @AmosMurphy_, @RichardTheBurns, Higgy and @FussballDan... Who's humiliating themselves this year? pod.fo/e/36ceea

@GianlucaChianti They should let other people coach football teams, LC. It's not fair that Guardiola is allowed to coach them all

It’s also me, can’t work out if it’s just getting older and having more perspective on what’s important or that football decades ago was a much better spectacle with more relatable players. I blame Pep Guardiola for smug over trained football, and the corporates for the greed. LC

A podcast recorded before the Pep/Maresca story broke... But nevermind because we've got fancy dress, Father Christmas in Norway, how bad it got last season... Oh and some good stuff from this week. Me, @FussballDan and @lukestanley03 (with @ByJamesJones): pod.fo/e/3692f9

@KitCrimes You're thinking of Coventry City

Man City again make a mockery of their Sky Blues nickname by choosing to wear the worst kit in the Premier League this season. #CRYMCI

I was saying Boo-nes! Nunes, Savinho and the curious phenomenon of Manchester City's boo-boys through the ages ✏️ Written by Dan Burke (@FussballDan) patreon.com/posts/145618176

Even after three straight wins, #MCFC are a very difficult team to make sense of this season. But perhaps it's all part of their growth journey? Read my thoughts in the new Totally City Substack post 💙 totallycity.substack.com/p/growing-pains

The refereeing wasn't great on Saturday, but I was far more frustrated by #MCFC's wastefulness and defensive frailty against Newcastle. It will cost them the title this season if they don't improve. Read more in the latest Totally City Substack post 🩵 totallycity.substack.com/p/wasteful-wob…

I enjoyed stepping into @BlueMoonPodcast hosting duty in @DavidMooney's absence this week, where we talked Haaland, O'Reilly, Foden, Donnarumma, Nico, Newcastle, Leverkusen and more, with @SamLee and Chris Higginbottom 🩵 pod.fo/e/356985

Uwe Rosler 57 today East German international, who became a Manchester City cult hero in the 1990s Here's Rosler chipping Schmeichel at Old Trafford in 1996 🎥 @TheSportsman 👍

Love this. They should make more games for nostalgia merchants in their 30s and 40s. Hope they do the 1998/99 Nationwide Division Two next

More evidence that City might actually be back

I was pretty downbeat about #MCFC's title chances after they lost at Villa Park the other week, but the performances and results since then have blown a hole in my pessimism. Here's my latest post for the Totally City Substack 🩵 totallycity.substack.com/p/the-statemen…

@IanDarke It's political correctness gone mad, Ian

Man City deserve this lead and Liverpool so poor and passive. But that Van Dijk goal would have stood in every single year of football for the 150 years pre-VAR. Donnarumma can see the ball just fine. What the heck are we doing to the game ?

After a pair of one-nils yesterday, I'm struggling to see how Arsenal don't win the title this season, and how #MCFC will get anywhere near them. It's not a crisis, just reality. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵 totallycity.substack.com/p/back-to-squa…

#MCFC are on a great run of form at the moment, but will their thinly veiled problems catch up with them eventually? That's what I've written about in this week's Totally City Substack post 💙 totallycity.substack.com/p/just-how-goo…

@_Mudblud All fair points! I'd still be satisfied by a sense of progress this season. I'll believe Arsenal will be champions when I see it

@FussballDan but the case for the opposite is that we're generally late bloomers, looks like they're focusing on stability first before working on the attack, rodri is still cooked, cherki + marmoush not played a part and reindjers is still a bit lost.

Recent results have forced me to reassess my pre-season belief that #MCFC weren't good enough to win the Premier League title this year. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵 totallycity.substack.com/p/were-gonna-w…
