5 Things We Learned from Arsenal Losing to City,...

2026/04/21

It was "The Big One" as Arsenal took on Man City, and as predicted Man City are now the ones who look to be steamrolling their way to an unexpected title. Arsenal can take solace in the fact that they turned up and gave it a go. Although Arsenal fans should probably be annoyed that it took until now. A potential huge moment in the season went by without incident also as Gabriel escaped with just a yellow card for a textbook "headbutt" that is the most certain red card you ever see. And even H...

2026/04/14

As boos rang out in the Emirates, it felt like we all knew what is about to come. Should Arsenal fans be 'getting behind the team?' Or should Arsenal not be making the club so easy to make fun of? As Arsenal's season is starting to fall off the tracks, Man City are lapping it up and soaking in the April sunshine. Things went from worst to unimaginable for Spurs as they now sit 18th with just a handful of games to go. A very weird season for Man United continued as due to being on an extended ...

2026/04/07

The FA Cup semi finals are set as Man City storm to what looks like another domestic trophy, while Arsenal on the other hand seem to be feeling the pressure as the run in continues. Man City absolutely hammered Liverpool, with Cherki and Semenyo balling out of control and a hat trick from Haaland. Arsenal crashed out against Southampton 2-1 in yet another game that will have alarm bells ringing for Arsenal fans. Chelsea put Port Vale to the sword with 7 goals, but actually didn't look all tha...

Ireland's Party's Over, We're Going Home

After what felt like an eternity to come, Ireland's semi-final playoff game against Czechica came and went in a whirlwind of tackles, goals, and what-if moments. We grimly carry out the post-mortem of Ireland's World Cup dream as we look at the future of this team and football as a whole in Ireland. We explore our sorrow, our love, and our pride for one of the best damn countries in the world. Support the show Want to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods? Head to patreon.c...

2026/03/24

Man City seemed to be enjoying themselves out there as they watched Arsenal stand like statues in their box waiting to be pressed before they lost 2-0. Arteta and Arsenal got it all wrong tactically, and there is an arguement that they got their goalkeeper selection wrong also as backup keeper Kepa gifted City the opening goal. Spurs welcomed Nottingham Forest to the fortress that is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with flares and motivational videos aplenty...they then lost 3-0. Support the sho...

Teenage Kicks! A boy with the world at his feet! 16 and loving it! That is SCENES! As Peter Drury desperately tried to find the right iconic commentary line to describe Max Dowman's goal against Everton, it did feel like THE moment that decides Arsenal's title winning season. The real story of the week came from one of the more bizarre moments in Premier League history as referee Paul Tierney stood directly in the middle of Chelsea's ball worshipping huddle. Enter Linkedin Liam Rosenior. In a...

Vamos Valverde, Kinsky Shaming, Iran Out of World Cup?

No Nonsense ·

2026/03/13

Ah some midweek Champion's League. This is nice isn't it. Just a bit of a break from it all. A bad week to be a greatest league in the world guy as not a single Premier League side managed a win in the first knockout leg in Europe, with some teams even getting a right hammering. Man City and Real Madrid renewed their rivalry, although this time the star of the show was Federico Valverde who had probably the (half) game of his life. Things went from worst to even worse somehow for Spurs as the...

2026/03/03

As Arsenal set pieced their way past Chelsea, you could feel the resentment rising across Premier League fans. Is it time for Arsenal to accept they are the baddies? Another win for Man United in typical Man United fashion means Michael Carrick is still unbeaten as manager. You have to give him the job if you are the United board...right? Spurs manager Igor Tudor has described his latest fire fighting job as his toughest task yet, and he also has some words for the referee after their loss to...

2026/02/24

Just as it was starting to look a bit ropey for Arsenal at the top of the league, Doctor Tottenham arrives and gives them the boost of confidence they need. Even with a pretty convincing win, one of the main talking points coming out of the game was just how aware Arsenal and especially Declan Rice are of the eyes of the footballing world being on them. Spurs look worse than ever, and with the injury list and attitudes at the club showing no sign of improvement, could relegation actually happ...

2026/02/18

Surely you'll forgive us for not bringing you the latest results and action from the FA Cup 4th round on Valentines weekend! Is the game actually gone? Does that phrase actually even mean anything? Has the game ever been here? Ireland were drawn against Israel in their Nation's League group just weeks after we made a statement saying Israel should be kicked out of contention for international tournaments. What happens now? And what are the chances of this game being drawn...we have our theori...

The Files, Frank's Spurs Spiral, City Close Gap?

No Nonsense ·

2026/02/11

Don't worry about all those emails and PDF's you saw that confirm everything is true. Just block it out and stick on the Premier League. Ah that's better. Man City closed the gap at the top of the table from 6 to 6 points with a dramatic last gasp winner over Liverpool. However we can't help but feel like this is actually going to mean anything come the end of the season. At the time of recording Thomas Frank was still in a job at Spurs although it felt obvious that he wasn't long for the Tot...

2026/01/27

For the first time since Arsene Wenger was manager, Man United danced in the Emirates as they beat Arsenal 3-2. As Arsenal fans booed their quad bound top of everything team at full time, it did feel like it's turning blood. The Michael Carrick question grows exponentially with every win, but Roy Keane isn't impressed, and it's time to get to the bottom of why. Liverpool lost 3-2 with the last kick of the game against Bournemouth. As calls came from Liverpool fans to get Arne Slot out, this g...

One of the most controversial finals of all time capped off this years AFCON as Senegal beat Morocco after a 20 minute walk off, the worst penalty maybe ever, brawls in the stands and on the pitch, the referee being blocked from getting to the VAR monitor and a swarm of ball boys desperately scratching and clawing their way to the Senegal goalkeepers towel. "Get the contract out, put it on the table, let him write whatever number he want's on it, after what he's done since he's been here. Car...

There was giant killing galore in the FA Cup third round as lowly clubs like Macclesfield and Brighton knocked out teams like Crystal Palace and Man United. As United were knocked out of the FA cup the news has come out that Michael Carrick will in fact be the clubs interim manager until the end of the season, and not Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as it looked. What did Ole say during the interview? The biggest game and story of the week came live from center of the known universe Saudi Arabia, as the...

Amorim Sacked, Maresca Out, Ireland Watch

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...

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...

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...

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

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...
