Player Farewell

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.
