The Willies Aren't Not Up Me

After a humbling afternoon in Cardiff, David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to pick over the defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield. It wasn't really the scoreline that put the frighteners on anyone, more the manner of the loss... so what does that mean for City in the early stages of the Enzo Maresca era?

As Rodri leaves for Barcelona and as it looks like there may be further midfield departures, we take a look at the shape the squad is in ahead of the match with Bournemouth. What can we expect from the opening Premier League game of the season?

It was also reported this week that Rodri had refused to play for City if they didn't sanction a sale this summer... Except he didn't say that. We're taking a look at why fake news appears to be at an all time high this year. Plus, we also speak to the author and City fan Alex Timperley, whose new book 'For The Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World' is out now.
