🚨*𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧*🚨 ⚽️𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪⚽️ 🎙️No pausing the content. This is the 1st 15 minutes of the show, as Howard H chats to FF expert Jonny about their teams, City player value, bargains, new rules, players to avoid and more!

My short preview of City’s 2025/26 season for Guardian sport. Penned last weekend. Unfortunately (but naturally!), it’s lacking comment on this week’s transfer chaos... But the rest still applies. I’m confident of a much better season this year 🇧🇼 RTs appreciated #MCFC 🩵

First Weekend Show of the new season. Free 4 all. With the news (via FPL MCFC) Trafford starts v Wolves today. Assumption has to be that Ederson is gone. More Wolves (and transfers madness) chat ↙️

A moment please for Howard H’s RIDICULOUS work-rate these last 2 weeks Recording Season Preview pods with 18/19 opposition fans from across the PL. Chats w rival fans are always some of my fave content, personally speaking. Love hearing insights on other clubs. Chapeau, H.

Mark Meadowcroft They’re like a bunch of 14 year olds. As stale as Carra and Neville commentating on their games.

Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. To my AFC Bournemouth 🍒 teammates who supported me in that moment, to the Liverpool FC players and fans who showed their true

I hope he’s rotated out of the next few pods. Thinks it’s disgraceful that Ninety Three Twenty haven’t signed a Howard H back up. Just asking for him to be injured. Poor.

Team news is next... Who do you want to see in the XI today? 💭

Manchester City CHERKIIIIIIIIII

Bobb & Doku on the wings 👍🏼

Feels like a new team in the best possible way. We’ve still got Phil, Rodri, and Josko to come into the squad, and potentially a brand new forward like Rodrygo 😮‍💨

A performance of a team confident of 6th place.

This was Guardiola speaking about missing Oscar Bobb last season, during the Spurs (H) pre-match presser. Now we've all seen what he meant.

Best City PL debut of all time that from Reijnders - above even Haaland and Aguero’s

Confident, slick, clinical. About sums up the performance. Tijjani Reijnders has the potential to replace the output of peak KDB. Cherki is an output merchant too. Nico G was really really good. Trafford looks like a number 1. Review on Monday.

Savinho trained with this guy for 2 weeks and realized his fate

James McAtee has joined Nottingham Forest on a permanent transfer. We'd like to wish Macca all the best for the future. 🩵
