On the left, David James (in an outfield shirt) looks aghast towards referee Rob Stiles against Middlesbrough. On the right, it reads: "Agree to Disagree"; "Will anything good ever happen against Boro?" and "Blue Moon Podcast".

#MCFC are on a great run of form at the moment, but will their thinly veiled problems catch up with them eventually?

That's what I've written about in this week's Totally City Substack post 🩵

Just how good are Manchester City?

Saturday's win continued a strong run, but the underlying stats perhaps tell a different story

Recent results have forced me to reassess my pre-season belief that #MCFC weren't good enough to win the Premier League title this year. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

We're gonna win the league?

Recent results have put a whole new complexion on Manchester City's title prospects this season

After eight games played in all competitions, it feels like a good time to give every #MCFC player a mark out of 10 for their performances so far this season, so that's what I've done in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

The Good, the Bad and the Average

Rating every Manchester City player out of 10 so far this season

Agreed. Our possession game went a bit stale the last couple of years and other teams got wise to it. I don't see us being good enough to win the league this season, but I feel like we're back on a good track, and that'll do for now

Sunday's performance wasn't pretty from #MCFC, and the late equaliser was a kick in the teeth, but the approach and result showed encouraging signs of progress.

Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

Two points dropped or one point gained?

Manchester City couldn't quite cling on to win at Arsenal, but the draw was still a decent result

This week I have written about Long Story Short - a Netflix show which really charmed me this summer - and where this ‘sadcom’ sits in the pantheon of adult animated comedy.

Sunday's derby win was just the tonic for #MCFC, with great performances from Haaland, Foden, Doku and Donnarumma 💙

Read my take on it in the new Totally City Substack...

Never felt more like singing the Blues

Sunday's win over United was just what City needed, but has the Manchester derby lost something?

Interesting that you didn't draw the line at rampant capitalism, Trump donations or the Super League. Also interesting that you mute at the first sign of an actual debate. Modern football/life is full of hypocrisies, and we're all navigating these murky waters together brother. Stay humble ✌️

We've heard this rubbish from loads of fanbases over the years. Very easy to say when you'll likely never have to back it up. City fans have had to think about this subject a lot more deeply than you probably ever will, so stop with the pious brow-beating, because you're not holier than thou
