Shaun Goater and Joleon Lescott will be our special guests on the latest edition of our live matchday show, We’re Not Really Here, when Manchester City play host to Bournemouth on Wednesday 15 July.

Goater, one of the most popular and prolific strikers in City’s recent history and Lescott, our hugely respected title and FA Cup winning former England central defender, will join presenters Cel Spellman and Natalie Paweleck in the studio at the Etihad Stadium as City seek to build on our superb 5-0 win over Brighton last time out.

Pep Guardiola’s side kick-off at the Etihad Stadium at 18:00 (UK), with our one-hour pre-match show beginning at 17:00.

If you like your build-up to be solely focused on City, then We’re Not Really Here is the show for you, with Goater, Lescott, Spellman and Paweleck providing you with the inside track on everything you need to know before the game gets underway.

The quartet will then return at half-time for a brief round-up on the opening 45 minutes.

Then, five minutes after the final whistle, we’ll be live for half an hour of post-match reaction, when Shaun and Joleon will dissect the game and respond to the fans’ Man of the Match poll, questions, and comments.

Time permitting, we will also hear a player’s reaction and from Guardiola’s post-match press conference.


It promises to be more compelling viewing for all City fans and full of incisive, fascinating comment.

We’re Not Really Here is available to watch on all of our official digital platforms, whilst during the game there will be live commentary from 17.50 and footage of fans around the world watching the game, which you can enjoy exclusively on mancity.com and our official app.
