no pressure

[Eugene2114]

Manchester's City and United (well, mainly the former) brought the goods last Sunday with a stone-cold seven-goal stunner, accompanied ably by a controversy-laden, red-card-a-thon courtesy of QPR and Chelsea. Not to be out-done, the Carling Cup then dished out eight belting ties of football of an entirely knock-out nature. So no pressure then Saturday.
Hi,
Just a simple thing: what is "no pressure" here?
Thank you.

"no pressure" is used ironically. It means that there is a lot of pressure on the clubs to try to produce equally exciting football on Saturday.
