The conversation is dominated by City's recent defeat to the hands of Liverpool and the factor that VAR played in the result of the match.

S1 Ep1: The First Of Many 

The Maine Road Ramble is back for another week of Manchester City coverage! The Blues had a roller coaster of a week so we're all lucky this recording took place after the positive note that was the Burnley match, but this episode begins with the gloom that followed dropping points to Newcastle on the road. The lads take a look at just what went wrong for City and what this means for the club's chances in the league. We get back our optimism back soon enough though, as City's 4-1 victory against Burnley at the midweek saw Guardiola's side return to the best version of themselves and recouped our confidence in the team going forward! Finally, the Manchester derby looms this weekend so Kevin and Ger discussed the nerves these rivalry matches present and previewed what to expect tactically as well.

S1 Ep16: Transfer Wish List: $30 Million Worth Of Lawyers

The matches are coming thick and fast for Manchester City as we're in the midst of one of the busiest stretches of the year. Kevin and Ger get started by looking back on two consecutive Premier Leagues against West Ham and Leicester City.   Analyzing the West Ham match didn't require much of the guys' time considering how easily the Blues handled the opposition but they do touch on a couple of tactical wrinkles that propelled them to victory. Upon transitioning to our Leicester breakdown, Kevin shares some concerns at the current state of the left side of the defense that Ger couldn't help but scoff at.   Those concerns naturally blend into our Real Madrid preview as City travel to the Champions League specialists on the midweek. Even without Eden Hazard, Zidane's team will be the toughest task City have faced in this competition but that's what makes this matchup all the more exciting.   We wrap up with a quick look ahead to the League Cup final against Aston Villa this weekend where the Blues look to win their third straight trophy!

S1 Ep17: Test Run For Madrid

The lads are back this week to discuss Sunday's incredible display from Manchester City in their 6-0 thrashing of Chelsea at the Etihad.   Ger and Kevin are back in studio to get stuck into a massive result for City and ask all the important questions - Is Sarri-Ball defunct? Is there a way back for the Chelsea coach after being dismantled at the hands of the champions? Why is Sergio Aguero consistently overlooked as one of the greatest Premier League strikers ever?  The lads also get stuck into whether Raheem Sterling has now risen to a world class level after his performances this season.  We also look ahead to Saturdays FA Cup clash with Newport County.

S1 Ep13: Episode 13 - Sarri-Ball Destruction 

The Maine Road Ramble podcast returns with a particularly long episode title after another harrowing week for the Blues. Kevin and Ger begin by recapping a disastrous against United that left us all in pain after a loss to our bitter rivals has all but ended City's chances at winning the Premier League. That match was only made worse by the horrific events seen in the corner stands but the guys return to discussion on the pitch with a look back at the triumph over Dinamo Zagreb in the final round of the Champions League group stage. Phil Foden gets all the praise he deserves and Mendy appears to be rounding back into form against all odds! Finally, the upcoming Arsenal match is previewed and the lads break some news about an upcoming transfer series. All your Manchester City bases are covered here on the Maine Road Ramble!

S1 Ep5: Lobotomize The United Match From My Mind & Replace It With Foden Propaganda

Introducing a new monthly series from the Maine Road Ramble that focuses exclusively on Manchester City's transfer dealings with Kevin Nelson and Andrew Dettmer! This series will not deal in peddling rumors but will take a more analytical view of the roster construction for the club. The long term view of this series will be to identify prospective City players, not due to an unfounded rumor but because they'd be a good fit, and provide detailed scouting reports on those individuals.   This specific episode doesn't focus on any individual players yet, but we reflect upon the state of City's roster and do a breakdown of future movement we might by position group. Call it a state of the union for the club's upcoming transfer dealings, the perfect primer you'll need as the January window is nearing its open and as the crucial summer window quickly approaches. This episode was recorded a little bit more than a week ago so keep that in mind if anything seems out of date but for the most, all of our opinions should maintain.  If you have any players who you think would fit the bill for these scouting reports, let us know and we'll explore the possibility of doing an episode featuring them. Hope you all enjoy and all feedback is greatly appreciated as always! This series is a work in progress so we'd love to hear from you, contact us on Twitter @MaineRoadRamble or via email at maineroadramble@gmail.com. Thanks!

S1 Ep8: Transfer Special : Inaugural State Of The Union

The Maine Road Ramble Podcast returns for its second episode with a surprising amount to talk about! The guys start with a discussion on the return of Jose Mourinho to the Premier League and what that means for Spurs/City before briefly touching on the recent international break. Then we look forward to the upcoming match against Chelsea at the weekend, where Ger and Kevin fall into a tactical rabbit hole on how Pep might line his team up after digging into how Chelsea is different under Lampard than when Sarri was at the helm. Even the slow weeks have plenty to talk about!

S1 Ep2: The Return of the Special One and Chelsea Preview

The Maine Road Ramble returns to look back and forward on a busy week for Manchester City! Andrew Dettmer returns to the pod to co-host with Kevin Nelson as Ger Deegan picked up a knock that kept him on the bench for this one, but the banter is as good as ever. The guys start with some good natured ribbing at the expense of Manchester United before moving on to the Crystal Palace match to discuss some of City's own struggles.   The obligatory John Stones debate finishes that match recap before we switch to a successful trip to Sheffield United in a match where City wronged a lot of the problems from just a few days earlier. We debate where Kevin De Bruyne ranks in the people we love most and preview the Fulham match very quickly before Kevin makes an admission about Eric Garcia. Lots of good content in here so have a listen and let us know your thoughts! Please leave a rating and review if so inclined and follow us all on Twitter at @MaineRoadRamble, @Kevin_N_Nelson, @GerraDeegan, and @AndrewDettmer. Thanks!

S1 Ep31: Big News! Very Big News!

The Maine Road Ramble's transfer series returns with Kevin Nelson and Andrew Dettmer diving into the first set of scouting reports to get us ready for City's potential upcoming transfer dealings! The episode starts with some news updates before the guys share their favorite nonsensical transfer rumor of the month. But more importantly, City are in need of some reinforcements in central defense and two very interesting players (at different stages of their career) are analyzed, Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and Athletic Bilbao's Unai Nunez! We evaluate every aspect of these players including their strengths, weaknesses, current form, value, and how'd they fit in to this City team. The transfer window is now open and the summer dealings will be on us before you know it so make sure you prepare yourself accordingly with this episode!

S1 Ep7: Best Match Of The Season & Santa Is Real 

Jack Grealish

Fabian Ruiz

The transfer series returns after a lengthy break with an episode from Kevin Nelson and Andrew Dettmer focused on a pair of young midfielders for Manchester City to target! If you're unfamiliar with this series, we pinpoint potential buys for the Blues from a variety of position groups and do an analytical breakdown to see why they would be a strong fit for City. We don't have any information and are not trying to start rumors, we just enjoy exploring the possibility of the club's future roster construction!  Each of the players discussed in this episode (Grealish and Ruiz) could fit a different role under Pep Guardiola but both are in positions to contribute within the current roster and we give you all the reasons why. We also touch on the Yan Couto signing and tease the possibility of another promising player joining the senior squad after his loan spell runs out.  But this episode was interrupted by the news that the City match against Arsenal on Wednesday has been postponed due to health concerns so we had to lead with that breaking news before diving into our transfer speculations.   Follow us on Twitter @MaineRoadRamble and get in touch with us any time on there or at maineroadramble@gmail.com.

We also touch on the Yan Couto signing and tease the possibility of another promising player joining the senior squad after his loan spell runs out. But this episode was interrupted by the news that the City match against Arsenal on Wednesday has been postponed due to health concerns so we had to lead with that breaking news before diving into our transfer speculations.  Follow us on Twitter @MaineRoadRamble and get in touch with us any time on there or at maineroadramble@gmail.com.
