After a hard-fought victory against Newcastle, the top of the Premier League table is very interesting. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and former City goalkeeper Andie Worrall to discuss what happened in Saturday's 2-1 win and where it's left the title race after Arsenal also responded in the North London Derby. What about City's style change this season too? We hear from Pep Guardiola, Pep Lijnders and Bernardo Silva as we look at how City are coping with a more physical and more direct Premier League. What principles have changed to get to this current incarnation of City and what still remains from before? Calum Archibald, who contributes to The Square Ball, joins the show to speak about the mood at Leeds right now... and how their trip to the Etihad earlier in the season has changed their fortunes. Plus, we catch up with journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller to find out what on earth is going on at The City Ground, as yet another manager brings Forest to Eastlands in midweek. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel enjoy a quintessentially Scottish football phone-in caller and a listener flags a very niche noise made by a commentator that we will now never be able to ignore.

After a not-so-thrilling but very comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and Simon Bajkowski from the Manchester Evening News to discuss Manchester City's week. Most of the talk has been off-the-pitch, with the news that City were looking at contingencies in case Pep Guardiola decided to leave at the end of this season... but then the manager spoke about it all at length in the press conference on Friday, so we look at what's been said and what it could mean for the end of his contract in 2027.It's Christmas week, so Mooney's also spent his weekend digging through the history books to look at some of the strangest facts and figures around City on December the 25th. Then we get insight into a, frankly, bizarre season so far for Nottingham Forest from journalist and Forest fan Nick Miller.And what's all this about coming back from the Christmas break "fatty"?==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
