Amorim Sacked, Maresca Out, Ireland Watch

No Nonsense ·

2026/01/06

2026 started with a bang as Ruben Amorim was swiftly sacked by Man United after a string of press conferences where he took aim at the board. Where do Man United go now? Who will be their first ever interim interim manager? How does Amorim's sacking statement match up to the last 7 or so in since 2012? It wasn't just Ruben Amorim that is on the outs, as Enzo Maresca also left Chelsea suddenly, after also doing a string of press conferences where he took aim at the board. This also comes...

No Nonsense ·

2025/12/23

As we approach the halfway point of the season things are starting to shape up in the Premier League. Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1, in a game that featured two red cards, a broken leg, a classic Richarlison moment and a quite vulgar celebration from Ekitike. Aston Villa made it 10 wins in a row in all comps with a win over Man United, but once again after the game, most of the talk was about how Man United are looking better every time they lose. The Evan Ferguson-meter has swung back to NOT GOOD...

2025/12/16

Arsenal managed to survive the usually awful Wolves thanks to two late own goals, are the cracks starting to show or is this just par for the course during the winter period? Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca capped off a routine 2-0 win over Everton with a bizarre post match press conference where he announced it had been the worst 48 hours he has experienced as a Chelsea manager due to lack of support. All seems forgotten at Liverpool as Salah returned to the fold as Anfield sang his name and he...

2025/12/09

It looks like it's all over for Salah at Liverpool after an explosive 7 minute rant to anyone who would listen about how he feels he's not wanted at the club, how he's been thrown under the bus and isn't speaking to the manager. Surely, he could have just...waited a few weeks and probably wouldn't have had to deal with this problem? As Ireland are still in limbo about their World Cup 2026 participation, it meant we were subjected to a Donald Trump approved World Cup draw featuring hours of Ho...

Paqueta's Pleas, Caicedo Sees Red, Parrott's Panenka

No Nonsense ·

2025/12/02

A feisty top of the table clash between Arsenal and Chelsea ended in a draw after yellow cards galore and straight red for Caicedo. What is it about Chelsea and Battle's of the Bridges? Liverpool returned to winning ways over West Ham with a goal from Isak. But the real talking point coming out of the game was Lucas Paqueta's bizzare red card for double dissent and is equally as bizarre statements after the game. Avert your gaze Ireland bandwagoners but Troy Parrott had an absolute shocker ov...

2025/11/25

Yet another week goes by in the Premier League and the big stories pretty much remain the same. Arsenal look like the best of the bunch as they breeze by the North London Derby thanks to an extra motivated Eze hat trick. Man City drop points yet again, but this time they have a right to be annoyed...maybe not as annoyed as Pep Guardiola was after the game. The Liverpool spiral continues with a 3-0 loss to Sean Dyche's Forrest. It can't go on like this surely? Cole Palmer was ruled out for a w...

The Late Late Troy Show - Ireland Beat Hungary 3-2

No Nonsense ·

2025/11/17

"This is why we love football, because things like this can happen" - Troy Parrott Arguably the greatest international break in history comes to a close with one of the greatest moments ever in Irish sport, as Troy Parrott scores a last gasp winner (his third of the game!) away from home against Hungary to bring Ireland to the World Cup qualifier playoffs. A hattrick against Hungary, and a brace against Portugal for Parrott solidifies his star status. Heimir Hallgrímsson head must be spinning...

2025/11/11

"You don't win the league in November" were Pep Guardiola's ominous words as Arsenal finally slipped up at the top of the table while City blew past Liverpool 3-0. Are Man City back? It sure feels like it all of a sudden. Yet another loss for Arne Slot's Liverpool as the crisis worsens, are the Slot OUT cries growing louder? Erling Haaland launched a new venture as he started posting to his YouTube channel recently, revealing that he is a fan of pasturising his own raw milk and eating steaks ...

2025/11/04

As the entire Arsenal team was seen sprinting with all of their might back from one end of the pitch to the other 92 minutes in to a 2-0 win over Burnley, it was clear to see why they are now firmly favourites for the league. And maybe they also have something beyond just winning the title on their minds now too? After a 1-0 loss to Chelsea, Spurs fans booed their team off the pitch, and in the midst of the sea of negativity, captain Mickey Van De Ven and Djed Spence refused to acknowledge ma...

Manchester United are back baby. Rest in Piss the bad times 2013-2025. This is definitely a REAL dawn as Ruben Amorin beat their bogey team Brighton 4-2 at home to make 3 consecutive wins in the Premier League for Man United. What next for The Red Devils and, more importantly, what happens to that guy when he cuts his hair? Smart money is on a sharp veer into the far right. Liverpool continue to slide down the table as Brentford's long throws and pressure cooker tactics consigned Liverp...

Who do Man United think they are? Playing a low block and not starting Sesko? Have they no honour? These were the words of Arne Slot as Man United beat Liverpool in Anfield in the Premier League for the first time since 2016. The Liverpool spiral continues with it now being 4 games lost in a row and the pressure is starting to mount on Arne Slot, especially with former boss Jurgen Klopp announcing his thoughts on potentially returning on the Diary of a CEO podcast. Man United were saved once ...

2025/10/16

Ireland managed to just about cling on to World Cup qualifying hopes, with a win over 10 men Armenia in a deathly quiet Aviva stadium. Ireland also came very close to getting a draw away to Portugal, but it wasn't to be after some questionable refereeing decisions from a ref that seemed to be ecstatic to be on the same pitch as Cristiano Ronaldo. We cast an eye over some other results in the World Cup qualifiers featuring great performances from Haaland and some not so great performances from...

The Liverpool spiral/finding out/crisis continued as they lost their third game on the bounce, this time to a last minute Chelsea winner. Is it just as simple as the give it to Salah system starting to fail? Erling Haaland continued his dominant form with a 'proper' goal against Brentford where he showed once again that he is miles ahead of the rest..except for Nick Woltemade that is! Can Cathal remember the three games he watched this weekend? Ange Postecoglou's stint at Forest goes from bad...

The curse of games past returned to haunt Liverpool as once again Crystal Palace proved to be their bogey team, with Palace winning 2-1 and now becoming the only unbeaten team in the league. Does this spell trouble for Liverpool that has been coming for a while? Or is this just a blip before they get back to extending their league at the top? The unlikable derby delivered once again as Arsenal beat Newcastle with a last minute winner. In a game where Arsenal moaned, punched and kicked their w...

In a season that promised so much in the first few weeks, we have quickly devolved back into 007 and best player in the world right now posts as Liverpool go five points clear after five games played. Arsenal went conservative against Man City and eeked out a draw thanks to a 90+ minute equaliser from Martinelli. But is their failure to get at the Man City's of the world a sign that this won't be their year once again? Enzo Maresca had a tough week as he had human rights inspectors banging on...

The new era of the pod continues with a real honest to goodness in person video episode that gets rudely interupted half way through! The Premier League is back after the Ireland's international incident, and its like Ange Postecoglou never left! He's cracking jokes, looking down at the floor and his team is getting absolutely torn apart by Arsenal. You'd fear for Graham Potter and West Ham as they are hammered 3-0 by Spurs. But as they slide toward relegation spots, are the fans thinking at ...

"The time for excuses is over" was the sound coming out of the Ireland camp coming into this set of World Cup qualifiers, and at 2-0 down after 20 minutes against Hungary it seemed like we were more doomed than ever.. A moment of madness that brought Hungary down to 10 men let us back into the game thanks to a non stop barrage from Jake O Brien and co. Was Matt Doherty set up for failure as Heimir's revenge? During the week, news broke that Daniel Levy was "stepping down" from his role at Tot...

The Transfer Window officially slammed shut and with that brings the official end of the summer. We have the full list of every single Premier League '#HereWeGo' from deadline day and take a look at some of the winners and losers of the window. Arsenal probably had a chance to get a win over Liverpool and create some distance in the race for the title, but being over cautious in the game cost them in the end. We sift through the ashes of the Man United Grimsby game and the global awakening of...

The second gameweek of the Premier League did a lot of zigs where we expected zags. Arsenal steamrolled Leeds 5-0, with thanks to two goals from Viktor Gyökeres, a player who everyone (us) had written off after his debut last week. Man United are firmly back in crisis mode after a devastating draw against a Fulham team that are every bit as good as them. Not everything has changed in the Premier League this year as Spurs beat Man City as is tradition. Can Thomas Frank keep this momentum going...
