2025/08/19

We are so back ladies and gentlemen. As a new Premier League season kicked off with some big games and weird interviews. Liverpool kicked off the season with an emotional and controversial 4-2 win over Bournemouth. In a game which saw great performances from new signings, not so good performances from others, tributes galore to Diogo Jota and a racist fan incident. After the game, Arne Slot appeared for his mandated casual post game chat with Jamie Carragher and co. Little did Arne know that ...

A No Nonsense Premier League 25/26 Preview!

No Nonsense ·

2025/08/12

A new Premier League season is upon us and it's actually shaping up to be the most unpredictable in years! We talk about what we learned from most people's favourites for the title Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. Speaking of Liverpool what is going on with Isak? And is this the year Salah starts to put his feet up? It's now or never for Arsenal it seems, which seems hugely unfair to a club that's done everything right over the last few years in terms of getting to ...

As more transfers are confirmed, it's a new era for the pod where we will be getting everyones name right - starting with Gyökeres. One of the stranger failed transfers in history came to its conclusion as Morgan Gibbs White signed a new contract with Nottingham Forest, putting an end to the 'Here We Go' to Tottenham. All thanks to the fine work of Mr Marinakis. Speaking of Mr Marinakis, what is going on with him and John Textor? And why is a new Botafogo player arriving every week to Forest?...

The transfer window kicked in to gear this week with many moves crossing from tittle tattle to "HERE WE GO!" Evan Ferguson has made the move on loan to Roma of all places. Can he restore his career to the dizzying heights of two seasons ago? Is this a sign that Brighton can get things wrong? In terms of transfers moving at a snails pace you won't find slower than two that got the full Fabrizio Romano treatment over the last few months, Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal and Bryan Mbeumo to Man United...

2025/07/15

The biggest Club World Cup final in history. The first one, but still the biggest. Huge game. So important they said we have to delay the Mean Machine review. That’s how big it was. Chelsea - great club, very classy - destroyed PSG. People were shocked. I wasn’t. I’ve always said Chelsea wins when I’m watching. First team to win the new Club World Cup. First to win everything. Total domination. Very historic. I gave a beautiful halftime interview - people said it was the best ever - and then ...

Shaolin Soccer - Review | You Couldn't Write It

No Nonsense ·

2025/07/08

You Couldn't Write It rolls on as we go to the other side of the world to watch and review Shaolin Soccer. In a world where every movie must have a slow motion kung fu action scene, renegade wrtier/actor/director Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer ties the beautiful worlds of football and over the top whacky anime action together. Featuring some of the best football we've seen so far, some of the funniest dialogue we've heard and far and away the most disgusting scene of the summer. Support the sh...

Kicking and Screaming - Review | You Couldn't Write It

No Nonsense ·

2025/07/01

Our summer of film reviews continues as we bring you the latest episode of You Couldn't Write It. This week we're reviewing one of the most well known American Soccer movies of all time - Kicking and Screaming. Will Ferrell isn't quite at the peak of his powers here but he seems to put it all together 45 minutes in to the film. Mike Ditka steals the show with a genuinely great comedic performance. What is it with Americans and running in a triangle shape during football films? What the hell w...

It's the big one, the one you've all been waiting for. It's the Air Bud 3 World Pup review... we're so sorry. Join us as we breakdown probably the worst film either of us have ever seen. Bad lessons, unlikable characters, very little Air Bud, nonsense plotlines and an incredibly damaging cameo from the US Womens National Team. Air Bud 3 has it all.

Bend it Like Beckham Review - Summer of Football Films

2025/06/17

Travel back with us to the glorious early 2000's as we take you through a cult classic and arguably the most popular football film of all time - Bend it Like Beckham. Which much less beloved Man United legend was the film initially going to be named after? How did it become such a success? Why is the football so bad in the football film? Why is Jonathan Rhys Meyers so creepy as the coach? All of this and much more! Support the show Want to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive po...

No Nonsense ·

2025/06/10

Rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo's demise have been greatly exaggerated as he lifted yet another trophy and scored yet another important goal, this time helping Portugal lift the 'coveted' Nations League title against rivals Spain. Ronaldo just keeps going and just keeps scoring, and it must be becoming a bit of a headache for the Portugal team...or is it? The starboy once again lit up the game as Lamine Yamal put his money where his mouth is once again by calling his shot and then taking it, thi...

You'd be forgiven for thinking a final with 5 goals and incredible performances was a classic Champions League final. But unfortunately for Inter Milan, it was a pummeling for the ages by PSG as they finally get over the European finish line. As an Mbappé-less PSG win the Champions League, it's easy to forget that they are still the bad guys and this is probably not great for the sport as a whole. We review our Absolutes and the season as we correctly predict the story of the summer - Spurs w...

The year of the cup upsets continued as Crystal Palace won their first major trophy in their history beating Man City 1-0 in Wembley. In a game with two big VAR calls that were both wrong, Dean Henderson was the star of the show both on and off the pitch. What next for Man City and for Pep Guardiola as the fizzling out continues. In a social media storm that you haven't heard about, Gary Lineker 'decided it was best' to step down from his role at the BBC after an accidental controversial emoj...

CONGRATULATIONS WILL AND ORNA That's right, everyone, it's a solo pod, just me and my hangover after one of the best weekends ever. Arsenal and Liverpool played a friendly game with not an awful lot on the line for either team. The real story was Trent Alexander-Arnold being booed by the Anfield faithful as he was subbed on in the second half. Nottingham Forest faces an uphill battle to secure Champo Leagueo next season, having looked nailed on for a top-three place all season. Forrest ...

2025/05/06

In a surprise to no one, Liverpool weren't fully at their best after their title celebrations as they lost to Chelsea, in a game where Cole Palmer broke his 'cold' streak. The biggest news in the Premier League this week was probably the official 'here we go' of Trent Alexander Arnold announcing he'd be leaving Liverpool once his contract is up at the end of the season. Galactico summer anybody? As Harry Kane watched Bayern concede a last minute equaliser to postpone their inevitable title ce...

2025/04/29

Mercifully, Liverpool finally became mathematical Premier League Champions once and for all to all but wrap up the season. Arne Slot sang Jurgen Klopps name after the game as red (and blue) flare smoke surrounded the stadium. An amazing job from Slot to win in his debut season, but a title that reflects even better on Jurgen Klopp as he seemed to see the vision before anyone else. You'd be forgiven for thinking Salah was simply aura farming and trying to create a celebration for the ages as h...

2025/04/23

The Premier League grinds to its ever extending halt, as Liverpool are now just one win away from sealing the title. Meanwhile the battle for 5th is actually getting interesting. As Man City scored a last minute winner against Aston Villa to propel themselves into third and Aston Villa down to 7th, we can't help but feel for Ollie Watkins who must be (and confirmed actually is) asking what the hell is going on and why isn't he playing? Not one for shying away from the limelight, Trent Alexand...

Cathal is back from his holidays and just in time for all the EXCITING PREMIER LEAGUE ACTION.. On his travels Cathal 'met' a former Premier League footballer and closed one of the longest running cases since the pod began. Man United lost, Arsenal drew, Liverpool won in dramatic fashion. But honestly what does it all mean and who is still watching when it's sunny out? Marmoush's impressive goal tally has us recalling some of our other favourite January signings.

Cathal is away on his holidays this week which means the dreaded SOLO POD makes its return. Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final thanks to two Declan Rice free kicks...no really. It must have felt nice for Arsenal as everything went right including seeing a player on the opposing team suffer a faith they've famously suffered. It looks like Van Dijk and Salah will be staying at Liverpool as word spreads that their contracts are looking likely to...

Summer pod has come early as the sun is shining and the Premier League is basically over once again. Any hopes of Saka's comeback goal against Fulham sparking some kind of title race chances for Arsenal were dashed just 24 hours later as Liverpool beat Everton in another Merseyside derby to extend their lead at the top. The heads of Carabao marketing must have looked on in glee as 100's of thousands lined the streets in Newcastle's first trophy parade in 70 odd years, but where oh where could...

What year is it we ask as Ireland are winning games, a boyhood Liverpool legend looks to leave his legacy behind and the German's are England's enemy once again. Heimir Halgrimmson's boys in green managed a second victory on the bounce as we beat Bulgaria 4-2 on aggregate in our Nations League playoff, and honestly, things are looking pretty good for once. As England kicked off their World Cup qualifiers with two wins and zero goals conceded, one famous manager from the past isn't buying it a...
