An absolute snooze-fest against Salford won't stop us! Never fear, the Blue Moon Podcast is here to try and find the interesting bits of a dull game... Or, we might actually focus more on the other bits of news from the week. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from The Times, Paul Hirst to discuss everything from the last seven days.
In the news is James Trafford – he's given a couple of interviews about his situation at the club and the reaction has been very polarised... Should he have stayed quiet now that the transfer window is shut or did he actually say nothing that was a problem, given his lack of game time since he arrived back from Burnley?
On top of that, it's time for Newcastle this weekend... as the title-race gets more interesting, following Arsenal's draw at Wolves. We'll get the views of Sam Dalling from the Newcastle podcast True Faith.
And, on top of that, as James Milner looks likely to be the outright record-holder for players with the most Premier League appearances, we look at the four players of the top five appearance-makers who have pulled on the City shirt.

After a remarkable week, where Manchester City won at Anfield for the first time (in front of fans) in more than 20 years, David Mooney is joined by City fan Liam Wright and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to discuss all of the talking points from the two games.
They look at City's second-half drop-offs and what might be causing them, how the team is fighting through their issues to win points, and the individual performances that have helped them to two victories this week. That's before we get to the madness of what happened at the end of the game on Merseyside.
It's Salford City up next in the FA Cup, in a repeat of last year's third round tie. We hear from Danny from the blog 'One Up Front' about what to expect from this weekend's visitors.
Plus, when have you been at a game with the most extreme weather? Oh - and could Abdukodir Khusanov be the next Bard?

Through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and just two points off the top of the table... It's a far cry from where things were this time 12 months ago.David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Luke Stanley to discuss the week, with a focus on the performances in the last two games. Perhaps it wasn't top notch against Palace, but you can't argue with a 3-0 away win, while a much-changed team put in a professional display in the League Cup quarter-final tie.Speaking of the demons of last season, we're taking a look at how much things have improved a year on. City have scored more, conceded fewer, and taken more points than at this stage last season, so what has changed in the squad to recover from such a bad period and just how bad did it get?Plus, with West Ham to come this week, James Jones from We Are West Ham joins the show to discuss what's been going wrong for them so far this term and whether or not they're in real trouble at the bottom of the table.Plus... What do you know about Father Christmas in Norway?==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
