Var Controversy

Progress to the League Cup final, but a disappointing draw at Tottenham from having been 2-0 up at the weekend... David Mooney is joined by The Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan and, from the City Ramble podcast, Oli McCoole to pick apart the week.Why are City struggling with second halves so much in the last few weeks? Is there a problem with the forward players taking chances? How does all of that play out in one of City's notoriously most-difficult away games coming up next?Also this week, Pep Guardiola gave a very interesting press conference ahead of the match with Newcastle, where he spoke passionately about several humanitarian crises around the world - and, while that was going on, there was more about VAR and referees. Dan Burke takes a look at the officiating side of things, while we also discuss Guardiola getting political.Neil from The Anfield Wrap joins the show to discuss Liverpool, while Elizabeth from Fulhamish helps us preview Fulham's trip to the Etihad... and was the move for Omar Marmoush's opening goal against Newcastle RUINED by the finish?

Gueye scores extra-time winner after Diaz misses controversial penalty and players are taken off the pitch in protest

It's been a week of excellent cup victories for Manchester City. To celebrate, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and City fan Chris Higginbottom. They discuss the 10-1 win over Exeter and then the 2-0 success in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal at Newcastle.It was the first time since 1987 that City scored double-figures in a game and, strangely, the scoreline matched the date (for only the 18th time in City's history)... but it was a remarkable bit of history-making from Pep Guardiola's side. At the same time, City were also on the receiving end of a VAR controversy, as the video assistant took five-and-a-half minutes to disallow what seems to be a perfectly reasonable goal at St James's Park.With trips to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt to come, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock and Norwegian journalist covering Glimt, Stian Høgland to get some idea of what City can expect this week.Plus, as young players like Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo impress, we discuss what options Guardiola has for the upcoming games and how necessary it is for the club to move again in the transfer market this month, as Antoine Semenyo settles in very nicely.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The mood was good... and then Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen happened. David Mooney is joined by Paul Hirst from The Times and, from the City Ramble podcast, Amos Murphy to try and work out what on earth went wrong this week.Pep Guardiola made ten changes to the team for the Champions League and the performance was pretty disjoined... He admitted afterwards it might have been a misstep, but did he also not get much help from the players he gave opportunities to? Then there was the VAR decisions at St James's Park that ignored a potential penalty on Phil Foden and that caused anger with an offside in the build-up to the winning goal.With Leeds and Fulham to come, we also hear from Calum Archibald who contributes to the Leeds website The Square Ball and from Sammy James who is part of the Fulhamish podcast.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. This week, Jamie Carragher and Wayne Rooney are joined by former Premier League referee Mike Dean for an honest look inside the world of officiating. Mike lifts the lid on what referees really deal with, from managers who were the hardest to handle to how criticism affects officials from one game to the next. We also break down Rooney’s issues with the modern refereeing standard, the pressure VAR puts on officials, and whether players influence refs more than people think. Mike also reflects on iconic moments from his career, including the unforgettable Aguero title-winning goal. Which rule in football would you change first?

Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens alongside him for a whole lot of European football chit-chat after an eventful transfer deadline day. We begin over in Italy, where Jamie Vardy’s now having a party in Cremona after his late move to newly-promoted Cremonense. Speaking of strikers - will the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund cement Napoli’s status as favourites for the Serie A title? Next stop - Ligue 1 - where it was goals galore on Saturday, as Lille put seven past Lorient in an extraordinary second half showing and Toulouse v PSG finished 3-6 with a Joao Neves masterclass… where he scored a hat-trick featuring two overhead kicks! Over in the Bundesliga, Erik ten Hag’s short and fraught spell as Bayer Leverkusen manager was brought to a swift end following their collapse against 10 men in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Bremen. So where did it all go so wrong? And where do they turn next? And in La Liga, Barcelona felt the benefit of VAR going awry - but they could only draw with Rayo Vallecano as Real Madrid took advantage as they continued their perfect start to the campaign under Xavi Alonso. All that - plus the curse of being a former Manchester United manager, unsavoury scenes at the Leagues Cup final in Seattle - and the Sound of Music! Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Times’ Alyson Rudd, The Sun’s Charlie Wyatt and Football Journalist Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man United, and Alyson isn’t impressed at how challenging Amorim’s side found it at home to Burnley. Charlie considers the situation a shambles and Julien believes Amorim doesn’t have the personality to succeed. Next to Nicolas Jackson, who looked to be getting a dream move to Bayern Munich, until Liam Delap got injured. David Ornstein comes on to the pod and considers whether Chelsea will sign another striker, or use Jackson as their striker this season. Then to talk last minute transfer news, and Keith Downie reports on Yoane Wissa’s statement to force Newcastle move.

Later in the pod, we return to Manchester United and we're joined by Samuel Luckhurst from the Manchester Evening News, who fills us in on the latest situation with Ruben Amorim. Sam thinks Amorim may have underestimated the size of the job at Man United but believes he will still be in charge for the Manchester derby.
