Huge thanks to Bailey Wynne of "Sky Blue Times" and "93:20 Podcast" for coming back on to discuss all things Manchester City with CrunkChocolate. Was recorded 2/17/25. If you enjoyed the first 15 minutes of this episode, please subscribe to our $6 Tier of Patreon where you get episodes like this and plenty more. 20+ hours of media every month with a library of content for you to enjoy. Subscribe here: patreon.com/user?u=94168109TOPICS:- Introduction- How did you fall in love with soccer/football?- What is something that is over/under rated about soccer/football (rule, chant, player, etc)- Percentage chance that Manchester City beats Real Madrid at the Bernabeu?- Omar Marmoush had his first hat trick of his career. Shows that he could be the backup for Haaland if needed. Do you think City play a false 9 if Haaland needs rest or would you prefer City bring in a true striker?- Nico Gonzalez showed against Newcastle the importance of having a true holding midfielder. Is Nico a Rodri regen or does he have a playing style that is his own? - Staying on Nico. Can he thrive being Rodri’s backup, could he play next to Rodri, or will he leave for greener pastures like Alvarez when he realizes all he will be is Rodri’s backup?- We all know there could/should be big roster turnover in the summer. Who are the players you would like to see moved in the Summer transfer window?

Huge thanks to Michael Reid for coming on our match preview series "Breaking Bread" for the 1st time to be our Liverpool correspondent helping us learn all we can about Manchester City's upcoming opponent.
