Ronaldo's Last Nations League, Yamal's Big Bright...

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...

2025/05/20

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. The Onana drama had another fu...

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...

2025/04/03

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...

2025/03/18

The 70 year "curse" has been lifted as Newcastle finally win a domestic trophy. And all it took was the wealthiest owners in sports history. Eddie Howe's team looked much more up for it as they cruised to victory in the Carabao Cup final over an increasingly tired looking Liverpool team who just a few short weeks ago were on course for the illusive quad. A big week for Big Dan Burn as he is the unlikely hero in the final and gets an England call up. Elsewhere in the news, Sir Jim Ratcliffe an...

Never has a game so big meant so little as Arsenal and Man United played out a 1-1 draw, that while entertaining, was another example of the season being totally finished. Man United didn't look half bad on the pitch but its still clear to see the pressure is just too much for this current crop. Off the pitch Sir Jim Ratcliffe reminded us all just how bad it is financially as he broke down who and when they owed in detail. Arteta stormed off after some pointed questions about the title race, ...

2025/03/04

While the excitement of this years Premier League may be dwindling the magic of the cup is still in full effect. But, this weekend it felt the magic was darker than ever. A horrendous high boot on Crystal Palace's Mateta was the most obvious red card in the history of football to everyone watching, except of course to the man in charge of handing out the cards Michael Oliver. A crash out of epic proportions saw Brazil star Matheus Cunha sent off in the 120th minute, leading to Wolves being kn...

And just like that it's pretty much all over! Liverpool extended their lead to 11 points against former rivals Man City as Salah continues to be head and shoulders above everyone else in the league. Arsenal dropped more points, this time to West Ham. And it's all starting to feel a bit end of days-y for Mikel Arteta as they seem set for another year in second place. Man United manage to rescue a late draw against relegation rivals Everton as the man who started it all David Moyes returned to ...

A battle of the men who will not change was the most newsworthy game of the round as Tottenham beat Man United in a genuine relegation 6 pointer. Surely Man United won't slip...right? Even without Amad Diallo and a host of others? The tinfoil hats are off and our third eyes are wide open as we witnessed Liverpool be gifted two very fortunate decisions from the refereeing powers that be as they got away with kicking a ball away while on a yellow and a blatant dive. Elsewhere, the Man City sea-...

The magic of the cup cast it's spell over the football pyramid over the weekend, but we can't help but feel like its powers are dwindling by the day. Just as whispers began of a potential QUAD Liverpool were eliminated by bottom of the Championship Plymouth Argyle. But with a B-team fielded, do Liverpool even care? Does it matter for Plymouth? Can Will even name 8 more Championship teams? Ange Postecoglu held his head in his hands and tried to work out how he was going to word the same answ...

As the 5th goal went in against Man City, you'd be forgiven for thinking maybe Arsenal had taken some of Haalands criticism to heart the last time they played. A 5-1 win for Arteta's Arsenal over Pep Guardiola's City, while maybe not a title winning game, felt like a big moment for Arsenal as they exorcised some past demons. Nottingham Forest are still in this as they hammer Brighton 7-0, with yet another Chris Wood hat trick. Ruben Amorim is never going to change and that's that, ok? W...
