We return from Germany with a deserved point in the bag and look ahead now to welcoming Everton to town on Saturday. Join Holly and Stef as we assess the positives of our draw in the Champions League, with Eze, Odegaard, Rice and Madueke all coming in for praise, as did Gyokeres, a sign of things to come I hope.

Attention is then turned to Everton and how we may cope with yet another team who will set up to stifle us, is it time for Eze and Madueke to imprint their personalities on the game, and take us to the next level in the process. We conclude with an attempt to address the following conundrum: would you rather be a City fan or a United fan right now? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Join Holly & Stef for a quick review of tonight's 2-2 draw with Bayern at the Allianz. Two superb open play goals for us and the obligatory penalty for stat-padding Kane...

Another single goal victory, our 18th in the last two seasons - is this sustainable? Can we keep relying on our defence to keep clean sheets? Who carries our X factor in attack? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we tackle these questions, and more, as we look ahead to a very tasty trip to Bayern on Wednesday evening. Who do you think will get the nod in our starting 11? Two of us have predicted a draw, with the other going for an away win, how do you think we'll do? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Noni scored. We won. 3 points.

We'll unpick it all in the next pod!

In the meantime, here's Holly & Chris with Stef from the City Ground for an Instant Reaction quickie.

Plenty to get through as Arsenal head to Forest on Sunday afternoon. Join Holly and Stef as we take a look back at the highlights of our comfortable victory over Lille in the Champions League. Three beautiful goals, encouraging signs from some of our squad players and the inevitable chat about the (lack of) contribution of others.

There are nerves evident when looking ahead to Sunday's game and we finish off with the very serious task of working out which City player (other than Haaland) we'd like at Arsenal when the fire sale starts. Please enjoy, like, share, etc. Thank you. COYG!

Well that turned out alright in the end, didn't it? After an 'okay' first half we really upped the ante straight from the kick off in the second, which ultimately led to a very 'easy on the eye' three nil home win against Lille. Beautiful goals were the order of the day, with Timber, Eze and Saka obliging. A performance that will hopefully instil further confidence in the squad as we head into a very tricky couple of matches. Join Holly and Stef as we provide our instant reactions to the game.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we take a more in depth look back at the Leeds game. Not quite a game of two halves, but a game where the final 30 minutes represented a massive improvement on the previous 60.

Bruno G will rightfully receive the plaudits for another banger, but praise too for Odegaard, Rice, Konsa and Madueke. We also comment on the farce that is now going to be every City game, where yet another refereeing decision aided their (hopefully) meaningless march to three points. The sooner we get shot of them, the better. And finally, there's a look ahead to Lille on Tuesday and the return of one Olivier Giroud to the Emirates. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you. COYG!

A very typical 12.30, after international break, kind of game where we laboured for an hour before Ricci Calafiori's leveller and Bruno G's fantastic winner.

Get the vibes from our match-going lads in this instant reaction pod - a full pod to follow...
