Step One: Build Igloo

Two frustrating and perhaps somewhat concerning defeats on the bounce means the Blue Moon Podcast has hit the panic button! Time to have some fun (or as much is possible this week) by inviting Joey McCune and Mark Mulvanny from the Noisy Neighbours podcast to join David Mooney and City fan Matt Holland to pick through the losses to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt.It's Wolves and Galatasaray up next for City... There should, hopefully, be some fresher legs on display on Saturday with the return of Antoine Semenyo and the arrival of Marc Guehi, but then a possible problem in the final Champions League group game as Rodri's suspension might leave a gaping hole in the centre.Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves gives his thoughts about the Premier League's bottom club (who are somehow more in-form than City in the league in 2026), while we also discuss the 17 players who have scored for and against City at the Etihad Stadium.Plus, what did you think of Sky sealing some fans in a box, who was the last Roman Emperor of the West, and when did you last have a snowball fight?==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Jadon Sancho reunited to Borussia Dortmund on loan

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has came back Borussia Dortmund on loan until June. The England National team player enjoyed four positive years in Germany but his career pulled up following his much- expensive move to United. Jadon Sancho is back at Borussia Dortmund, connecting the Bundesliga side on loan from Manchester United until the last day of the season as he looks to kick- start a drawing up career. " When I ran into the altering room here and now, it smelled like coming home," Sancho stated after complete the signing of a six- month loan deal in Dortmund on Thursday — a deal which doesn't contain an opportunity for BVB to sign him back permanently. " I know about the club inside- out, I have constantly been actually near to the supporters today and I have noway lost contact with the people in count. I can not wait-anymore to have my teammates once again, get out on the pitch, practicing football with a smile on my expression, earn assists, scoring goals and assist the team qualify for the Champions League." England winger Sancho, 23, 1st flare onto the scene as a teenager in Dortmund, gaining 50 goals and grabing up 64 more for the Black and Yellows in 137 apps between 2017 and 2021. " Jadon is an autocratic contrast- maker and I am going forward to observing him in black and yellow once again soon," said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl." He knows this club, our supporters and our city. truly though he hasn't played any competitive matches in recent months, we are confident that he will fast fit back in with us, detect his stylish performance and assist us to grabbing our season objects with his intelligence." After supporting lead Dortmund to a German Cup success in 2021, Sancho covered an€ 85 million( roughly$ 93 million) transfer to Premier League monsters United, but he has been unfit to reproduce his performance in Manchester. He has just handled nine goals for the record English champs in 58 Premier League matches, and a public dispute with United head trainer Erik Ten Hag caught him objected out of the team and pressed to train with the youth squad this season. Can Jadon Sancho improve Dortmund? Today come-back in Germany, Sancho will be going to help Dortmund better on a disappointing 1st- half of the season when the Bundesliga resumes this weekend. On a individual position, Sancho will similarly be appearing to renew a bringing up career and recharge faint confidence of a comeback to the England national football squad ahead of the European Championship in Germany this summer. Sancho has just played up onetime for England since failed a penalty-shot in the Euro 2020 final loss to Italy in July 2021, after which he – along with other teammates who failed penalties – was dominated to racist abuse on social media. But holding not demurred a ball in outrage since August 26, there are huge interrogative targets over his game- fitness. And with the loan deal containing no opportunity to buy, and Dortmund unfit to pay for Sancho permanently anyhow in terms of either transfer charge or salary, knockers have hinted that the Bundesliga side are effectively offering to" fix" Sancho without being to profit themselves. On the different angle, with talks in Germany indicating that Dortmund are just paying around€ 3m for Sancho while United remain to complete his wages, the deal could similarly be noted as mainly danger-free. Still, who delighted a good connection with Dortmund head trainer Edin Terzic already, can kick in indeed a slight way to a Dortmund strike which has proven remarkably blunted this season and assist the club cover a money- rolling position in coming season's modified Champions League, If Sancho. Whether Sancho will be carried in the Dortmund team for the journey to recently raised Darmstadt on Saturday remains to be seen.

A handball? The LA Galaxy play better in draw to Vancouver. Plus, Will Kuntz joins the club.

BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy couldn't find the game-winning goal on Saturday night. But they did fight back to earn a draw in a game where a win wouldn't have felt out of place. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the wins, the losses, and the draws of the weekend when it comes to the Galaxy. Josh and Kevin will discuss the protest before the match, the atmosphere inside the stadium, and why neither party probably got exactly what they were looking for out of the game and out of the showing. The guys will also dive into the improved play from the Galaxy and why Tyler Boyd's mere presence was enough to make this team look a lot better. So where do the improvements need to come from? And are you worried about Jonathan Klinsmann replacing Jonathan Bond? Kevin will talk about the worry heading into the Portland match, as Chicharito and Douglas Costa need to make their return. Do they do it on turf? And finally, the guys look at standings, schedule, and the big news that Will Kuntz has joined the club. What can Kuntz bring to the Galaxy? And why could his presence help end the boycott? Let's talk it out! We've got a great show for you tonight, and we're thrilled you could join us!

Stop Sleeping on the Defense, Kevin! Galaxy battle anti-soccer Chicago.

- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy played an ugly game against the Chicago Fire. No one should talk you out of that analysis. And if they do talk you out of it, have their sight checked. But you also can't simply dismiss what was a gutsy performance, played in challenging conditions, against a team that wanted to play anti-soccer more than score goals. So does that make you feel any better? Probably not. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 0-0 draw with the Fire and discuss what this does for momentum and what it means in the long term. Are the Galaxy capable of being that no. 1 team? Or are they shrinking from every challenge at the top? Josh and Kevin both have very different views of what happened at Soldier Field, and the majority of this podcast will be them arguing about that. It's fun! But the guys are also talking about their live event on Saturday, the news that Michael Stephens is returning to the club as a Director of Scouting, and they're discussing the Galaxy's new local TV deal. Plus, there's a little focus on Landon Donovan's return to Los Angeles when his San Diego Loyal take on the Galaxy in their Open Cup match on Tuesday night. Is all the press on LA? Finally, the guys are cleaning up all the loose ends on Galaxy news and getting you pointed in the direction of Nashville on Saturday night. Can the Galaxy return to their winning ways against another solidly defensive team? We've got a great show all lined up for you. We hope you enjoy it.

The Seagulls are soaring, J-Lingz returns, and Sean Dyche’s lookey-likeys

Despite another inevitable defeat at the hands of Man City, Sean Dyche showed he is really full of surprises yesterday. Presumably he’s also full of Croydon salad, too. Jules, Jim and Vish react to Brighton’s latest scalp, as Dan Burn ushers in a new era of incredibly lanky wingers. We also take stock of J-Lingz’s triumphant return - who better act fast if he doesn't want to lose his clothing and pistachio deals to the 8-year-old in Santos who has signed with Nike.

Episode 179 - The AFTN Soccer Show (New Beginnings, Same Whitecaps? with guest Mauro Rosales)

The 2017 season is already in full swing for Vancouver Whitecaps. While most teams played their first competitive match in this weekend’s MLS openers, the ‘Caps now have three under their belt, with two in the space of four days thanks to their CONCACAF Champions League heroics. We look back at what we learned and what we can realistically take from the 2-0 win over New York Red Bulls in the CCL and the 0-0 draw with Philadelphia Union in MLS. Has the defence finally shored up? Is the two man defensive shield killing attacking play? What’s the best position for Kekuta Manneh and Erik Hurtado? And what are we likely to see from the team in the weeks to come? We talk about all this and more in our first postgame show of the season. We also chat with the newest member of the Whitecaps, but a well known returning face, Mauro Rosales. What tempted the veteran Argentine back to Vancouver? Is coaching in his long term plans? What’s his thoughts on the team this season and especially Alphonso Davies? Plus B.A. Robertson features in this week’s ‘Wavelength’ feature. This is a podcast of our first live show on CiTR radio (and our fifth on the station altogether). As such it’s a little chaotic at times as we worked out which buttons to push!! We also ran out of time to put more in, but it’ll get a lot smoother, so have a listen, enjoy, and ‘Mon the ‘Caps.
