  • 3 Points Clear! 🔴 | Grit Over Beauty vs Newcastle | UCL Semi-Final Fever! 🏆

    The show must go on!

    Arsenal dig deep at the Emirates to secure a massive 1-0 win over Newcastle. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't comfortable, but at this stage of the season, points are the only currency that matters.

    In today’s episode of *Football Or Nothing*, Ritesh is joined by Rahul and Shashank to dissect a high-stakes weekend in the title race. We are officially 3 points clear at the top, but with Manchester City still holding that game in hand, have the Gunners actually lost their advantage?

  • Wembley Woes & Arteta’s Big Decisions: Where Did It All Go Wrong?

    It’s the hope that kills you."

    In this somber episode of Football Or Nothing, host Ritesh is joined by co-host Rahul and fellow Gooner Shashank to navigate the wreckage of Arsenal’s 0-2 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final. From the pre-match optimism to the final whistle at Wembley, we dissect a performance that left 75% of our panel in absolute despair.

    To add salt to the wound, we’ve brought on a Manchester United fan to provide some "neutral" perspective (read: relentless mockery), despite the ongoing chaos over at Carrington Road.

    In this episode, we dive deep into:

    * The Autopsy: Was it a tactical masterclass by Pep or a mental collapse from the Gunners?

    * The Arteta Inquisition: Did Mikel get the starting XI wrong? We discuss the substitutions and in-game management that failed to turn the tide.

    * The Identity Crisis: Why do we still struggle to impose ourselves on the biggest stage against the blue side of Manchester?

    * The Fallout: How does this impact our momentum for the rest of the season? Is this a season-defining blow or a necessary wake-up call?

    We wrap things up with a rallying cry for the North London faithful. The trophy is gone, but the season isn't over. It’s time for the squad to stand up and finally deliver the goods.

  • Arsenal’s Quadruple Quest vs. City’s Final Stand

    The road to the Quadruple runs through Wembley!

    In this high-stakes episode of Football Or Nothing, Ritesh is joined by a full house of Gooners to preview the massive Carabao Cup Final between Arsenal and Manchester City.

    With Arsenal sitting 9 points clear at the top of the table and chasing their first league title in 22 years, we discuss whether winning this trophy is the "winning habit" catalyst the squad needs—or a dangerous distraction from the title race.

    On the pitch today:

    * Rahul (Co-host) vents his frustrations over the "illegal wins" and "dark arts" narrative currently haunting Arsenal’s success.

    * Shikhar explains why he doesn’t care about the "process" or the "physics"—he just wants the trophy by any means necessary.

    * Sharan makes his debut as a panelist, moving from the listener's seat to the hot seat to give his take on the Haaland vs. Saliba/Gabriel showdown.

    We’re breaking down:

    * Europe Momentum: Arsenal’s CL dominance vs. City’s Real Madrid heartbreak.

    * The Hunger Factor: Is this City’s last stand to save a "trophyless" season, or is Arsenal’s hunger for a sweep too much to handle?

    * Tactical Chess: Can Pep break the "Wembley Curse" of his star striker, or will North London claim the first piece of the 2026 puzzle?

    Final Predictions: Will the trophy return to the Emirates, or will the "Dark Arts" claim another victim?

  • The Tale of Corners: Arsenal’s Great Escape & Chelsea’s 10-Man Siege

    In this episode, host Ritesh is joined by the tactical minds of Rahul, Prashant, and Shikhar to break down an absolute rollercoaster of a London Derby between Arsenal and Chelsea!

    Dubbed the "Tale of Corners," we dissect how Arsenal used their set-piece cheat code to net two crucial goals, while Chelsea found an unlikely lifeline through a chaotic own goal - also from a corner kick.

    But the real story of the match? The final 20 minutes. After going down to 10 men, Chelsea completely flipped the script, pinning Arsenal back and giving Ritesh (and Arsenal fans everywhere) severe anxiety. Why did a 10-man Chelsea look more dangerous and fluid than they did with 11? Did Arteta get his defensive tactics wrong trying to protect the lead? And what can both squads build on from this chaotic clash?

    Tune in for tactical breakdowns, defensive analysis, and a whole lot of post-match adrenaline

    North London remains emphatically RED! 🔴

    It’s been a minute since we last hit record, and Arsenal has put our blood pressure through the absolute wringer. Ritesh and Rahul are back in the studio, and this week, we’re joined by two special guests: Shikhar, a massive fan of the pod stepping up to the mic, and Prashant, a Manchester United fan brave enough to step into enemy territory!

    In this episode, we break down the chaotic rollercoaster of the last few weeks. We start by eating our vegetables, venting about that brain-fade 2-2 draw against Wolves that saw our comfortable 7-point cushion shrink to just 4 points (with City holding a game in hand).

    But then, we get to the good stuff. We revel in the glorious 4-1 demolition of Spurs in their own backyard. We discuss the mentality it took to bounce back, Eze and Gyökeres dominating, and what this means for Arsenal's title charge. Finally, we take a look over our shoulders at Pep’s inevitable machine after Man City ground out a 2-1 win against Newcastle.
