Drinking Inside the Box

After a week off of premier league action we return with Liverpool showing signs of fatigue with 3 games in 7 days, appearing to open the door for an exciting Arsenal chase.  Elsewhere the Champions League new and improved knock-outs into the knock-outs(?) finished and we anxiously await the draw for the round of 16 so the real business can resume. Apart from City, England still boast 6 of their 7...

With big wins from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Forest, the red wave of goals at the end of the weekend was 14-1 in the red teams at the top of the table's favor.  Everton continues their revival under Moyes, and keep them hot on the heels of Spurs and United.  A big win for Wolves keep them at bay of the chasing relegation battle but just barely.  Off the field the action is just as fiery, as Ras...

With Amorim's divisive words in his presser, we evaluate the choices Rashford has in front of him.  We also take a look at the fire at the Etihad that thwarted the team's planned player unveiling, was it a portent of things to come?  On the field we get into the magical run that Bournemouth are putting on, laying waste to the most in-form teams in the league. With their next meeting agai...

No, I am only joking, it's not a bad show.  But we do try to pick Amorim's word's and then his redaction apart. We also discuss the thrilling Week 22 action. Missed keeper catches, goals galore, in form team dropping big points.  From Bournemouth stunning Newcastle away, to Southampton's almost comeback versus Forest, Arsenal letting 2 points slip, and Liverpool capturing 3 at...

We resume our second half with updates from all three domestic fronts.  We touch base on the human aspects of the game with new appointees, divorces, and a brand new member... maybe not the kind you were expecting.  On the field gets much better as we cover 8 of the 10 games of MW 21.  Are Nottingham Forest the real deal, can Arsenal stay in the hunt, is Man City dead in the water? Find out our th...

We are back after our holiday hiatus!  Instead of dragging on about the 4 game weeks that occurred between our last recording, we decided to focus on catching up on the news surrounding the Premier League.  More sackings, more appointments, more chaos!  Both on and off the field of course.  We discuss Player X finally going to trial, Chelsea's downturn, Nottingham Forest's resilience, an...

Two managerial sacks on the same day last week and both from bottom of the table challengers.  We take a deep dive into statistics of survival rates after firing managers in relegation situations.  Plus a few match bans to discuss, and an update from West Ham United on their Jamaican striker.  On the field action did not cease to amazing again this weekend, as title hopefuls, Liverpool, put in a v...

We are coming to you fresh from the Spurs Chelsea game.  With Gordon's travel schedule interfering with regulars programming we did not want to leave you wonderful listeners high and dry when such a wild weekend was afoot. Thus we figured it would be great to give you all another early gift! We touch on some sad stories regarding West Ham's Antonio, and Man United's Kath.  We laugh...

Two match weeks in 6 days, where do we find the time?! Not to mention the amount of goals we witnessed in the events that brought us into the month of December.  If this is a portends of things to come, we are in for a WILD busy season.  Off the pitch we touch on Ruud taking the helm at Leicester, the arm band controversy, the FA Cup third round and a new law because of Arteta.  On the field we tr...

Yes, you're getting this late on a Wednesday, but this is our "We Are Thankful For You!" gift for Thanksgiving.  We know many of you travel so we wanted to give you something to listen to before you brace yourself for the wonderful political discussions you're going to have with your Uncle Ronnie.  Anyways, we catch up where we left off after international break as well as dig...

This week we begin with the bombshell new of David Coote's rant and Drug use... or "I told you so" moment if you have supported Liverpool over the years. We discuss what we think will come of the Coote's Snoot antics and what repercussions it will have on the PGMOL.  We dive into the Women's Champions League round, the slanted pitches up North, and some Match Week 11 stats...

We didn't git the 30 goal threshold this weekend but we were treated with a weekend full of beauts.  From Harry Wilson's Burt the Chimney Sweep's flick that inspired a very very late comeback, to Isak jumping into the stratosphere to put the Magpies ahead early we saw it all.  The EPL action was also squeezed nicely between Carabao and European action to make us wonder what we ever...

With the big news that United have parted ways with a man they just extended in the summer, we couldn't miss the opportunity to bash away.  We also discuss the drama of men not getting an award and throwing a fit, and the return of Arsene Wenger from the grave, just in time for Halloween.  We do eventually get into the action of the weekend, which was chalk-full of very late, game deciding go...

Week 8 action brought us tantalizingly close to the 7th week with 30 or more goals but fell short by one.  There were a few goals chalked off and one missed PK so maybe that did it.  We did, however, see 5 red cards, which means we paid for it in drinks.  This week we break down the scrappy Liverpool vs Chelsea fixture, Bournemouth collect a tough three points, and the meltdown at Tottenham.  Can&...

International break has finished but without any Premier League action, we turn to the headlines to carry the show.  From Arsenal's Women's ruthless departure, to Grandpa Alex getting the boot, we covered the big news of the week.  Don't forget the greatest generation rolling in the graves finding the three lions appoint a German to coach the national team.  We touch on the Poch hon...

Wait, international break again?! Never fear, we are here to fill your brain with all the best memories of Match Week 7 to help you forget that another pointless weekend is upon us before the end of October.  We dive into the 5 week out of 7 in which 30+ goals were scored, yet this week we hit that threshold with 6 teams not registering a goal! Insanity, if you ask us. We discuss the dangers of do...

If they keep scoring all these goals every week we are going to have to extend the show to 90 mins! Looking at you Cole.  This week we dive into the madness of the 34 goal weekend.  The most so far this season and the 3rd out of 6 over 30.  We begin life without Rodri, discuss the almost slip of Arsenal and Liverpool, and the heating up of Cold Palmer despite his goal keeper trying his best to hel...

Happy Birthday too meee! In celebration of my birthday AND the four red cards this week (if you count the managers) I downed an full glass of Scotch.  So yes things get weird as we roll deeper.  Kelly also partakes and if you know anything about us, we get chatty when we drink.  Luckily for you though, it means more solid content on an amazing weekend for goals. 30 in total, and still 6 keepers re...

Blame it on the moon.  This one is a classic DITBox episode, the Wild West of EPL podcasts.  Kelly confuses the recorded aspect of the pod with a live show, Gordon wonders if he has a lordship because he went to Medieval Times.  Apart from the randomness, we do squeeze in some EPL action, and by some, I mean we JAM PACK this one with best goals and games.  With so many good outside of the box goal...

Yes yes we are late but it was only because both of us chickened out on our original and re-scheduled podcast night.  We finally reconvene sandwiched inside of Kelly's work meetings and we make the most of our hour with no Premier League games to discuss.  We talk the chaos of Chelsea, the losing of Manchester United, the trial of the century, and the death of the 25 yard screamer.  If you ha...

Yes, we try to answer the question that's been on everyone's mind this week: If ETH isn't HP then who is he? Gandolf, Professor X?  We may never know.  Or he may slowly reveal who he is not every loss this season like a weird game of Guess Who.  We are here for it!  Besides that, we discuss all the goals, except Man United, who were the only team out of 20 not to score this weekend....

Kelly is back stateside and brings the heat with her Match Week 2 analysis.  Don't want to give to much away but she even compares Chelsea to moldy fruit and veggies.  In this episode we discuss all the action from Premier League Match Week 2, dive into the second round of the Carabao Cup, and get excited for the newly formatted Champions League Draw (don't worry, we break it down again)...

Match Week 1 in the books as Kelly took it all in from the UK.  In this episode Kelly joins us from Ireland and Gordon joins from 3am in the morning.  We take on all of the week one action, from the same old Southampton, Liverpool's tale of two halves, and Haaland ending Cucurella's "Cocky Girl Summer".  We finally get to intorduce the American Scouser Community to the Ditty Pi...

WHOA, EARLY POD, RIGHTEOUS! That is right, in honor of the upcoming EPL season we just couldn't wait to jam our predictions down your ear holes.  We put our picks to the test and compare them with the odds around the world.  Who will be the first to let the door hit them on the way out, who will win the golden boot, who will be crowned Champions, and who will face the Championship next season...

We are tantalizingly close to the return of the Premier League and we take some time to introduce the new boys ahead of the first games.  We also take a look at the new managers coaching styles, the new team, and some transfer rumors floating around the league.  In unrelated segments we travel to Italy to discuss babies, discuss the Women's Olympic soccer final, talk about jerseys, Kelly&apos...
