No Nonsense

We sit down on mic one last time to say goodbye. Thank you to anyone who listened over the past 5 years. Good luck. - Cathal and Will Support the show

Much to the joy of hate-watchers around the world, Arsenal lost to PSG on penalties in the Champions League final to end their hopes of a historic double. An early goal from Arsenal meant we were in for a dire game, but in an incredible turn of events, the referee seemed to turn on Arteta's men after one fake throw in too many. Will Arsenal be back like all of their influencers have been very...

Well that's that. The Premier League 25/26 season officially came to an end, with a bit of a whimper on the final day as most of the major stories were already wrapped up and the potential big stories...didn't happen. Spurs survived in the end as Everton for the second time in a month cost Premier League Hate Watchers around the world a very funny scenario. Arsenal were finally crowned c...

We genuinely never thought we'd see the day but Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are the Premier League champions. As the streets of London filled with people weeping and celebrating in pure joy, it was a nice reminder that football doesn't need to be as hateful and miserable as it has gotten over the last few seasons. Is this the beginning of the Arsenal dynasty? We have our doubts. Aston Vi...

In classic No Nonsense fashion we managed to record an episode JUST before Arsenal were confirmed champions, but even before that happened this was one of the more newsworthy weeks in football history it felt like. With so much news that we had to implement a timer to make sure we hit everything. While Arsenal were squeezing the life out of Burnley, Peter Drury broke the news to Sky viewers everyw...

It felt fitting that the season seems to have boiled down to a disallowed goal over players hassling the Arsenal goalkeeper at a corner. Was it a free? Should Arsenal have been punished for similar (but different) crimes throughout the season? Is it really what's going to relegate West Ham? Is it the end of football as we know it? If Arsenal do go on to win the league and potentially a histor...

The league is now back in Arsenal's hands after 30 minutes of madness saw Man City only managing a 3-3 draw against Everton. In one of the most un-Pep like games of all time, City totally lost their heads, relied on low percentage moments of magic and had their fans walk out and then immediately come back. Morgan Gibbs White suffered a nasty head injury, which was immediately plastered in ext...

Arsenal are still right in this title race and it looks like they will be right up to the absolutely crushing bitter end. Another 1-0 tense slog saw them get a much needed 3 points from Newcastle. Leeds unfortunately played a totally different Chelsea team to the past few weeks as they are now in the mood to try win again now that Rosenior is gone. As Xavi Simons jumped up and down on his ruptured...

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 w...

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...

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 fo...

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...

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 Hot...

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 Ti...

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...

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 figh...

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 inj...

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 internat...

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 th...

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 wi...

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 th...

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 bi...

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 su...

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 U...
