A No Nonsense Podcast : Football

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 win a trophy and Ange is on the way out.In one of the most doomed press tours of all time, Man United immediately got on the first plane to Asia after the season ended for a few more embarrassment to round off the season.In contrast to the suffering Man United starboys, Scott McTominay is still out there partying in Napoli as the official Serie A MVP and newest club legend.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 emoji.But really, this has been coming for quite some time.We cast an eye toward one of the weirdest games of all time as Spurs take on Man United for a chance at Europa League glory, Champions League football and the right to say that wasn't one of the worst seasons in their entire history.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

CONGRATULATIONS WILL AND ORNAThat'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 owner Marinakis decided to let Nuno Espirito Santo know all about how he felt. I discuss the fallout with a special guest.Elsewhere in Europe, the fourth classic of the season took place with Real Madrid suffering another loss at the hands of Barcelona. Trent Alexander-Arnold will have his work cut out for him next year!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 celebrations, there must have been a part of Harry's mind that thought ' oh no it's happening'.Antony continues his resurgence in Europe, just as we predicted years ago.There's also a particularly angry comment corner as we've angered the Rogan fanboys and we detail our plans for this years SUMMER POD.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 he took a 'fans' phone and took a selfie with the crowd, but on closer inspection it seems that this was actually a new form of marketing that has seeped in to the beatiful game.Just before Spurs rolled over and allowed Liverpool to score their 15th goal against them this season, Ange Postecoglu had some questions about what the big fuss surrounding 5th place was this year.The Copa Del Ray El Classico final did not disappoint as Real Madrid crashed out at levels never previously seen before, with probably lengthy bans and a lot of transfer movement to follow in the fallout.We look toward the Cathal derby as PSG take on Arsenal in the first Champions League semi final leg.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 Alexander Arnold scored a winner against Leicester to all but seal the title for Liverpool. Cue an interesting celebration that could have been an all time coldest moment..if not for other results.Kevin De Bruyne has been speaking to the media about how he's leaving Man City, and it turns out someone has been keeping track of everything else he's been saying also.

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 funny chapter in his ongoing humiliation, this time in a rather confusing instagram story from Matic where he seemed to have the most random selection of Man United jerseys for his son.A quick check in to see if Ange Postecoglu still manager of Tottenham.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 be signed.Before Man United's Europa League knockout game against Lyon this week, there has been something of a war of words between André Onana and former United midfielder Nemanja Matic.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 the Geordies go to keep the party rolling?Things are going well for Aston Villa as their new superstars score for fun while they are going deep in the Champions League. But..is it too good to be true?Nottingham Forest beat Man United 1-0 thanks to a great goal from another player in a long line of players currently thriving away from their former club - Anthony Elanga. And in their time of need who did Man United turn to? Why Harry Maguire again of course.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 and isn't trusting this Tuchel fella one bit.Rumours are flying that Trent Alexander Arnold's move to Real Madrid is looking like more of a certainty by the day which has prompted some rather surprising criticsm, but why does Trent want to leave in the first place?In a week of cancelling, attempts to break the camels back with more straw, salutes and hot takes, one company has decided to just go for the forbidden collab.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 and Man United's PR masterclass continued, this time with the announcement of a new state of the art devil inspired stadium plans to replace Old Trafford. The plans were unveiled by Gary Neville, just days after we were told in an interview with Gary Neville that the club is perpetually minutes away from going bust.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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, but in the following days he calmly let us know this is all actually part of the plan.No Nonsense Hall of Famer and man of many failed Premier League manager stints Frank Lampard is flying it in the Championship, and it's starting to look like history may repeat itself.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 knocked out of the cup.Newcastle also crashed out, with injuries to Isak and Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon picking up a mush based red card. The desperation continues with the Carabao Cup final rapidly approaching.Who cares if Man United are out of the F.A Cup, its the league they want to win according to manager Ruben Amorim who, once again just to confirm, is not going to change.We have some ideas to freshen up the cup branding and make these 5th round fixtures more exciting.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 almost make them pay a decade later.Off the pitch, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has continued his Scrooge-like ways. Next up on the chopping block, lunch.And of course Creed month continues!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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-saw bounced back in their favour as they hammered Newcastle 4-0, in a week that saw them win big on and off the pitch.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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 answer he's been giving for months as Spurs get knocked out of their second cup in a week, this time by the new Spurs - Aston Villa. But before we all jump to the usual conclusion, we ask is the football world a little too harsh on Tottenham?A last minute blatantly offside winner from Harry Maguire saw Man United through to the next round of the cup. How will Maguire be remembered in the future as the trophies somehow pile up?A new era for Aston Villa as Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio made their debuts. With Asensio especially who must be asking, how did I end up here?And finally, we ask is there just too much information these days? What's going on with Kendrick and Drake still? Why are you listening to us? Is it time for another hard rock adjacent month for the pod? Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

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? We share our fond memories of watching winter sports for 10 minutes at a time on the former Eurosport, and once again recall the greatest fantasy football game you've never played.Jordan Henderson has heard enough and he's not going to take it anymore!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

The magic of the cup was in full flow as Man United and Arsenal rolled back the years to give us a dramatic game that had everything from penalties to red cards to dives and more.Kai Havertz bad run of form continues and he has now potentially cost Arsenal two trophies in one week, as the pressure begins to pile on Mikel Arteta.As Harry Maguire walked off to an ovation reserved for footballing legends, we ask what is it about Man United that makes a result or a moment that means nothing in the grand scheme of things, become must see TV.We were robbed of one magic moment and gifted a much more entertaining one as 4 time Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson denied young Tyler Young the once in a lifetime chance to play against his father Ashley Young.Tottenham paid a visit to Non League Tamworth and struggled for 90 minutes against a team of genuine part timers.We also did a deep dive into potentially one of the least likable pages in internet history.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Rumours of a potential 7-0 turned out to be greatly exaggerated as Man United managed to get their act together and give Liverpool a real game under conditions that probably should have had the game called off.After a 2-2 draw we try and work out what exactly made this game so different to the routine Liverpool hammerings in Anfield that United have faced over the last few seasons, and how much of it came down to Trent Alexander Arnold being shook up by a very disrespectful transfer offer over the Christmas break from Real Madrid?Christmas may be over but the PGMOL gifted us VAR controversy galore with a nice mix of very strange incidents we've never seen before, and stonewall handballs that they decided not to give.All things being fair and equal, Ange Postecoglu insists Tottenham would have won.It looks like we'll be having some manager movement in the coming weeks as sacking rumours for West Ham and Everton have started to emerge, and NO David Moyes isn't interested ok!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

And so, the sun sets on another international campaign. Ireland had some highs and some REAL lows.To see us out, Ireland were beaten 5-0 by colonial rivals England in Wembley after 20 minutes of madness which manager Heimir Halgrimsson described as 'giving up'. But for 45 glorious minutes we were right in that game!We were right in that game until of course the VAR team bottled what looked like a stonewall penalty on Evan Ferguson. Cathal has seen enough and he has some thoughts to get off his chest.Just before the show started recording news broke that Pep Guardiola has signed a one year contract extension at Man City, with the option of an additional year. We ask why now? And, does this mean what we all think this means regarding the 115 charges?Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

All eyes were on Ireland it seemed this week as Damien Duff led Shelbourne to a historic League of Ireland win, just three seasons after promotion in a campaign which captured hearts around the world.Fresh off of ignoring Duffers facetime post league win, Jose Mourinho was letting loose with an 8+ minute rant on VAR, the Turkish league, the stink of the place and everything in between.In a surprising move Arsenal Director and primary Arteta backer Edu announced he is set to leave Arsenal for his dream job of taking Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos to new heights.Is it time to tell who is going to win the Premier League?And finally, thanks for coming Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but let that be the end of you and your ilk (successful club legends) at Man United.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Let it be known that nobody goes a full year with just one win in Europe and gets away with it at Manchester United!Erik Ten Hag tenure as United manager finally came to an end after a 3 years of poor league results and great domestic success.

The most successful international break in pod history as Ireland actually WON a game of football, and it wasn't even against Gibraltar this time!Just as things looked up after beating Finland, Ireland were halted by an impassioned Greece team, honoring their late teammate George Baldock. Lee Carsley's England also lost to the Greeks, prompting Carsley to strike out in the post-match press conference.Enter Thomas Tuchel, as England aims for the rare feat of winning a Euros or World Cup with a non-national manager.Meanwhile, Nigeria faced a suspicious last-minute plane diversion, leaving them stranded without food, water, or Wi-Fi—allegedly a mind game from Libya.Even Sir Alex Ferguson isn't safe from cutbacks at Manchester United, as INEOS has cut his cushy ambassador role.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Is it that time of the year already? It feels like a game that decides the Man United manager's tenure is over comes around earlier every season.Man United suffered an embarassing 3-0 home loss to Tottenham. Another in a long line of poor results which see's the pressure really piled on Erik Ten Hag.After their 'spicy' game last week and the subsequent discussions around Arsenal's mastery of the dark arts, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta have had enough of the buddy buddy act.As Cole Palmer put 4 away in 45 minutes to give Chelsea a 4-2 win, we ask ourselves the worrying question..was Todd Boehley's plan right all along?The Madrid derby descended into a literal poop slinging contest as Diego Simeone pleaded with Ultras to allow the game continue.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

In today's preview of this week's BONUS episode, we're taking a look back at the last set of games from during the week.Turkey and Czechia played out a high tension (possibly political?) battle for the ages as Turkey managed to get the win and go through, but not before the most cards shown in a single Euros game in history.A historic win for Georgia over Portugual see's them enter the last 16 in their first ever tournament. And it's all down to some kind words from Cristiano Ronaldo to a certain boy he met a long long time ago, KvaratskheliaRalf Rangnick's Austria continue to run rings around every team they come up against, this time securing a famous win over a headband donning Memphis Depay's Netherlands.England top their group unbeaten to get to the round of 16, but it has been a struggle to watch on the field. This has led to the English media trying to spice things up off the pitch any way they can.We also take a look back at some of our favourite 'other' moments from the group stage that we might have missed along the wayHEAR THE REST OF THE EPISODE AT THE LINK BELOWSupport the Show.Want to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

As the Euros group stage comes to a conclusion some teams are out and some are still fighting for survival.Scotland are officially out as their bad start turned into a bad run. That makes it 12 tournaments without escaping the group stage for the Scots, 13th times the charm lads!Cristiano Ronaldo entered his giving era as he opted for an easy assist rather than a difficult goal as Portugal trounced Turkey who showed their true colours.No one has been more critical of England's campaign than the English media, and now it's time for Harry Kane and Declan Rice to fire back at a certain crisp flogger.It's shaping up to be a tournament to forget for Romelu Lukaku as he had another goal disallowed, but despite that Belgium are looking  a little better game by game. Could they? Surely not.Finally we take stock of our rein-less Euros fantasy team as we sink to the bottom of our own league once again.Support the Show.Want to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?
