Maybe In Another Generation

This week, we welcome back Liam Wright who, having been to 49 of the 52 games of this particular season, is perfectly placed to help us sift through the wreckage of the now infamous 2012/2013 season. Having won their first league title in 44 years in dramatic fashion, could City continue their march to domination of English football? Or would a lack of truly world class signings and in-fighting wi...

This week, we welcome back journalist and author Dom Farrell to Maybe In Another Generation as he helps us walk through a season that despite it's dramatic and quite brilliant conclusion, often sits in the shadow of other Pep seasons.

This week, something a little bit different!  We’ll be speaking to life long Blue, journalist and author Bill Borrows.

The season that changed everything… In this last episode of Season 1, we welcome none other than Faraaz Ghaffur, better known to you and I as FG, as he chats about the history-defining 2010/11 season. The season that saw City aim to finally taste glory after 35 long years in the wilderness… We also talk to FG about how a lad watching City home and away with his mates would go on to present for the...

It’s 80’s week! This week I’m delighted to speak to journalist and author of the brilliant ‘City In Europe’, Simon Curtis who takes us for a walk down misery lane to the 1983/84 season. Simon talks us through the sights, sounds and fashions of the early 80’s and what life was like supporting City home and away against the backdrop of hooliganism. Having been relegated in heartbreaking style, City...

This week we re-live one of the most entertaining seasons in our history, and one that lives long in the memory of many Blues.  It’s the 2001/02 season and this week, I am delighted to be joined by journalist, author and City fan of over 30 years, Dom Farrell.  We join the club in the summer of 2001, having sacked Joe Royle following relegation from the Premier League, amidst rumours of a drinking...

This week we head back to the 1990/91 season with the help of Jack Mitchell - drummer for fellow blue, Johnny Marr, collector of match worn City memorabilia and City fan since 1988.

Welcome back to the 1998/99 season with David Mooney. In Part 2, we re-join the conversation with City struggling to come to terms with life in the 3rd division.

This week, I am delighted to be chatting to Liam Wright, who has followed City home and away, week in, week out for the last 20 years. Liam walks us through the 2007/08 season. One of the more bizarre seasons in City’s history, where we start the season with 8 new signings, a new manager and a new owner.  Hopes were high following the trauma of the previous Stuart Pearce season. What could possibl...

For our first ever episode of 'Maybe In Another Generation', I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the number one Manchester City historian, Gary James.
