*Apologies for audio issues on this episode! Back to crystal clear audio honey from next episode on.

We're back with another preview of our Ultra's only midweek episode with all of the action from the Champions League.

Arsenal managed to finally get past the round of 16 despite a valiant Porto effort.
The game saw Raya make some huge saves in the first penalty shootout in the competiton since 2016, Arteta apparently make some rather unfortunate comments about someones mother and Saka unable to adapt once he was figured out.

For the rest of the episode where we cover the rest of the fixtures, take a look at the quarter/semi final draw and give you some St Patricks Day top tips, become an Ultra today at the link below!

After a heated war of words involving Trent, Dias, Haaland, Walker, Klopp and Pep, Man City and Liverpool played out an exciting 1-1 draw full of missed chances and controversial decisions.

We ask once again what exactly are the rules and consult the F.A's own rulebook to see what constitutes a 'high foot' after Doku narrowly escaped giving away a last minute penalty.

Mike Dean catches some strays from an irate Jurgen Klopp.

Bad news for Arsenal as they it's now all eyes on them at the top of the table with ten games to go!

Slightly down the table John McGinn recieved a straight red after an INSANE challenge which ended up with Spurs easing past Aston Villa.

Finally, we revisit our Simpsons eleven as we are sent in some listeners Springfield Squads.

Man United suffered yet another Manchester derby defeat as it seems to get easier for Man City every single time. In a game which saw the best and worst of Marcus Rashford

Speaking of Rashford, he firmly placed himself in the news before the game with a Players Tribune piece where he re-affirmed his love for the club and told his haters, doubt him if you dare.

At the top of the league Liverpool clutched victory in the 99th minute against Nottingham Forest, in a game reminicsent of a certain other last minute top of the table victory from last season. And what of Darwin Nunez who is quickly becoming a hero at the club in spite of some of his performances.

Some top notch chaos across the European leagues as there were red cards and disallowed goals aplenty in Serie A and La Liga.

And finally, Will has put together the ultimate starting 11 of Simpsons characters.

A momentus day for Klopp's Kids as his injury ridden Liverpool side filled with academy prospects managed to topple the so called "billion pound bottle jobs" Chelsea.

Is this narrative fair on Chelsea? And is Klopp right to feel like this was a bigger win than their Champions League and Premier League?

How will playing this collection of youngsters effect Liverpool's potential quadruple hopes?

After a 4-1 drubbing from Arsenal, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe wants to see a better performance from his players midweek, OR ELSE.

And finally, lower down the league Everton are gifted back some of the points they had deducted earlier in this season.

A special preview of the Ultras only midweek Patreon episode, where we cover round two of the worst set of Champions League knockouts ever!

Arsenal sunk to a last minute goal from Porto after 90 minutes of no shots on target, is inexperience in Europe costing the competitions 3rd overall outright favourites?

The loss of away goals and the rise of the Man City machine has killed the excitement for the Champions League, can UEFA save the day with their new format?

'This was their Barcelona' says Klopp after a midweek 4-1 win over Luton. Over celebration or just Klopp being clever?

For the rest of the episode where we talk 'WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE IN FOOTBALL'  and take a look at the FAI's new 12 year plan for success, become an Ultra today at the link below!

We are entering crunch time in the Premier League, but it seems the usual Man City steamrolling has not kicked fully in to gear just yet.

After a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Pep Guardiola launches his latest biting attack on fellow manager Pochettino. As likeable as ever that Pep!

We ponder the future of Caoimhin Kelleher as he performs well for Liverpool. With fellow countryman Gavin Bazunu currently in the Championship is it now or never for Caoimhín?

We recap and review the latest season of Sunderland Til I Die, a show that is totally different and much more emotional than its last two seasons.

And finally a quick thank you to our listeners new or old as we reach day one of year 4 of A No Nonsense Podcast!

A special preview of this weeks Ultras only bonus episode where we talk through a pretty drab set of Champions League fixtures and come to terms with our age and mortality!

On the full episode we also talk about Man City as they cruise their way to back to back trebles, despite whatever Pep may say in the press conferences.

With Mbappé leaving for real this time, is this the end of the PSG we all know and "love".

Things go from bad to worse for Bayern Munich as they lose 1-0 to Lazio in the CL knockout stage. Will Tuchel be there for the second leg?

We also pick an eleven of treble winners featuring the best player you've never heard of.

We are back in more ways than one as we return to recording the pod IN PERSON after a few months of being over 5000 miles away from each other.

We try wrap our heads around the lawmakers newest crazy idea for football, the BLUE card and ask what does this mean for the dark arts?

Arsenal get their revenge and then some by sticking it to West Ham 6-0 in their own stadium

Gary Neville and Roy Keane make some pretty easily figured out but also confusing doping allegations against certain teams from Italy.

Rasmus Holjund proves Cathal wrong in near record time.

The AFCON gets wrapped up in the most irratiing fashion you've ever heard.

Liverpool announced manager Jurgen Klopp is officially set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, we ponder what or who is next for the club, how will this effect the rest of the season, our thoughts on the goodbye video and is this really as much of a surprise as it seems?

In stark contrast, over at Barcelona, Xavi has also announced he's set to leave his management role at the end of the season, but in a much less glowing goodbye message.

And finally a comment corner as we tally up the scores on last weeks blockbuster Animal Xii clash and hear some listener thoughts on our teams.

It's Ivan Toney's world and we're all just living in it as the striker had the red carpet rolled by Brentford out for a hero's welcome after his lengthy ban for gambling.

Toney just couldn't help himself as he continued his new role as football's pantomine villain with some blatant cheating followed up by a spot of lying after his free kick goal against Nottingham Forrest. Where to next for Ivan we ask?

We have reached peak football awards as even award winners such as Cristiano Ronaldo are now voicing their displeasure at the likes of the Balon Dor.

We hop on board the latest trend sweeping football social media as we put together our starting 11's from the animal kingdom. You won't believe the absolute bluffer Cathal puts right wing!
