City Performances Under an Actual Blue Moon

My other half was waxing lyrical the other day about the mystical implications of the Bluemoon. Think I'll embellish the gag a bit and pretend I'm taking her seriously.
Oh, my missus is doing the same, it’s what started my interest in how we’ve faired under blue moons.

I don’t actually think it has any effect whatsoever (aside from slightly higher tides and being somewhat pretty for viewers on the night) but it is a nice random statistic like many others I like to collect.
 
Christ, who remembers this?

Blue Moon = (standard definition as used by MCFC) Second full moon in a calendar month.

(Alternate definition = A phenomenon whereby the moon appears bluish owing to smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere.)

When has that ever happened in Manchester?

I thought it was when Papa Smurf dropped his kecks.
 
Full Moons can be considered to be in play for about 4 days either side so since Sheikh Mansour bought the club:
  • 2009: December 31 City 2 Stoke 0 (26/12), Wolves 0–3 City (29/12), Boro 0 City 1 (FAC 02/01), City 2 United 1 (LCSF 1st Leg)
  • 2010: January 30 - Utd 3 City 1 (27/01), City 2 Portsmouth 0 (31/01)
  • 2010: March 30 - City 3 Wigan 0 (29/03), Burnley 1 City 6 (03/04)
  • 2012: August 31 - Liverpool 2 City 2 (26/08), City 3 QPR 1 (01/09)
  • 2012: September 30 - Fulham 1 City 2 (29/09)
  • 2015: July 31 - No competitive games.
  • 2018: January 31 - Cardiff 0 City 2 (FAC 28/01), City v WBA (31/01), Burnley v City (03/02).
  • 2018: March 31 - Everton v City (31/03), CL QF 1st Leg (03/04 or 04/04)
we have won every Blue Moon game except two - and lets be honest a 2-2 draw at Anfield is as good as a win. The defeat at old toilet in 2010 was down to a biased ref (Howard Web) so I can mark that one off.
