This week we have Jonjo Shelvey in the hot seat, a man with one of the best talents we have ever seen in matching football players up to what boots they wore. Signing for Liverpool at a young age he tells us what it was like to play with his hero Gerrard and how he ended up being his next door neighbour. At Newcastle we hear stories of fights, Rafa stealing prawns of plates and what Mike Ashley was really like. Towards the later end of his Jonjo went through a tough time revealing what really happened at Forest and how going to Turkey forced him into one of the darkest places he has ever been.

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.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, John Cross and Jason Burt to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with Arsenal’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton, sealed by a stunning David Raya save, that kept them top of the league. But are Arsenal beginning to feel the pressure? The focus then shifts to The Ashes, where England finally claimed a Test win in Australia—but John believes it was a hollow victory played out on a dreadful pitch. Next up is Aston Villa’s superb run of eleven consecutive wins. A 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge has moved them to within three points of league leaders Arsenal—but with Unai Emery’s side consistently outperforming their xG, can they keep this run going? Finally, we turn to Liverpool’s 2–1 victory over bottom-of-the-table Wolves. With his first league goal of the season, we ask: has the real Florian Wirtz arrived in the Premier League?

Merry Christmas Ramblers! As you enjoy a glass of eggnog on this fine day, remember, it's your Christmas too. So move away from the turkey, step back from the mulled wine, and enjoy a little gift-wrapped prezzy from your old pals at the good ship Ramble. After all, it's either that or having another uncomfortable conversation with dodgy uncle Steve who you only see once a year. Not even on Jesus' own day does Marcus Speller rest up. He's up against the mighty Luke Nation to compete for the Christmas Cup! Pete's on those very festive light-up buttons.

Mjällby AIF are Swedish champions. For the first time in their history, the small fishing village of 1,300 inhabitants has managed to outperform the competition from the bigger cities, helped by an exceptional brand of attacking football. “Europe’s surprise team comes from a tiny fishing village on Sweden’s southern coast. The sporting director is a […]

Jimbo’s got helpers James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor & Pol Ballús alongside him for some pre-Christmas cheer of a European variety. We begin in La Liga, where it’s as you were at the top of the table with Barca navigating the tricky trip to Villarreal to come away with all three points to keep their advantage at the top of the table. Real’s win over Sevilla helps ease the pressure on Xabi Alonso - but is Vini Jr’s future in more serious doubt? The shock scoreline across the continent was perhaps recorded in Florence, where having gone 210 days without a Serie A win - Fiorentina only went and put five past Udinese! Plus, Lois Openda ended his Juve goalscoring drought in their win over Roma to make things even tighter at the top. We touch base with events in France, Portugal, Turkey and the Netherlands - including the mounting troubles for Robin van Persie, Coupe de France storylines and lone Portuguese superfans! And in Germany - Bayern Munich continued their remarkable form with a 4-0 thrashing of Heidenheim - featuring Harry Kane’s 100th goal involvement in record quick time. Is the sky the limit for Vincent Kompany’s side this season? Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: La Liga review - Mbappe equals CR7 as Barca pass Villarreal test (07.15) • PART 3: Serie A review - Fiorentina win a game… no, seriously! (18.40) • PART 4: Elsewhere in Europe - Coupe de France storylines & RvP under pressure (36.03) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - the Bayern machine rolls on (40.55) Hosted on Acast.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Dominic King and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with The Ashes, as Australia defeat England in the third Test in Adelaide to seal the series. Martin labels it a “crushing disappointment” for England, while Julien points out this wasn’t even Australia at full strength. Adam Collins joins the show to praise a dominant Australian performance and predicts a 5–0 whitewash. We then move to Liverpool’s dramatic 2–1 win over nine-man Spurs. Dominic questions Isak’s underwhelming spell after another injury, while Julien points to lingering defensive problems. Next, we ask where Spurs are heading, as Julien argues it’s hard to see what Thomas Frank is trying to do. Also, Manchester United’s chaos continues after a 4–4 draw with Bournemouth, prompting debate over whether Amorim has got it wrong on Kobbie Mainoo and his role in the team. Finally, we turn to the title race: is the pressure mounting on Arsenal? Top of the league but unconvincing, and with Gyökeres’ form in doubt, we ask who should lead the line when fully fit? And after a 3–0 win over West Ham, Man City look dominant in the title chase. Dom says, in a head-to-head, you’d pick Guardiola over Arteta every time. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. Next, we turn to Arsenal’s late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn’t see earlier in the season. We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England’s performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team. Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca’s dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn’t appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.
