At Least It's Not AI

The Blue Moon Podcast is back for YET another season... On today's show, David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and by the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan to look back over the pre-season tour of Asia for Manchester City and to discuss what's new about the Enzo Maresca era at the club. The Athletic's Sam Lee has been speaking to the players on the tour, so he's here to look at what they've said about what's different tactically. Plus, we speak to Tifo's Jon Mackenzie, whose new book "The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola Haunts Modern Football Tactics", looks at how much City's former manager has influenced how we all see the game. We take a look ahead to the Community Shield tie with Arsenal on Sunday, plus (and we make no apologies for this) we're starting off as weirdly as we mean to go on by taking a look at all the times that City have played on the same day as a partial or total solar eclipse. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
