Drinking Inside the Box

Another wild, goal filled weekend graced our picture boxes and we are here for it.  An incredible Sunday thrill ride for the title race proceedings left us dying for mid-week action.  We decided to pod on Monday so we don't discuss those events here, but we will be sure to offer our insight on them in next week's episode... cliffhanger! Apart from the scores, the only massive change is t...

First taste of action back from the third international break of the season and it did not disappoint.  On the precipice of the most grueling time in any of Europe's top flights and we were treated to a flurry of goals, VAR interventions, and last minute winners.  A rather cagey City vs Liverpool game started us off but it quickly gained pace and ended with a wonderfully eventful Fulham vs Wo...

Thanksgiving already!  VAR, Everton, Man United, and FFP are some of the things we are thankful for.  Yes, they're annoying, but BOY do they give us a whole host of topics to discuss with you all!  Seriously though we couldn't have imagined how much fun this was going to be five years ago and we could not be more thankful for the opportunity to release some work week stress into your ear...

Back in studio for the first time in AGES! Just in time for another international break (insert ughh here).  The main topic of conversation is, of course, the tasty fixture of Chelsea vs City.  It had the goals, it had the back and forth drama, and it had the backstory of an up-incoming youngster who switched sides. Whether he joined the Dark side or the Jedi Order is your call.  The slug-fest was...

We are BACK... well sort of.  As explained in the pod we took a short hiatus due to a family emergency so first off, thank you all who stuck with us during the short pause in recording.  All the love and support we received over the last two weeks means the world to myself (Gordon) and my family, so thank you DITBox Nation!   Now back to the good stuff! We catch up on all the heavy hitting stories...

Back in studio with no EPL games to discuss, not a problem for us.  With the amount of good, bad, and ugly stories from the international break, we throw so many stories your way it could be a two parter.  To highlight we discuss Euros,  dogs, goalies, miracles, Clownchester United, and even toe the line politically.  If you completely shut off for the break, this is the one for you as we will cat...

As the inconsistent as the VAR decisions, Kelly and Gordon are yet again virtually podcasting due to scheduling conflicts.  We battled the midnight storm and surging rain to provide the analysis of Game Week 9.  We saw Villa falter again, VAR come, or not come as the case may be, to City's aid again, and West Ham and Newcastle duking it out, in what felt like an proper old school first divisi...

We just cannot catch a planning break this season and sickness forces us to record remotely again.  Luckily for you, there's so much controversy surrounding the weekend, and we aren't just talking about the Liverpool Spurs game.  Pep loses two on the bounce, United set a crazy number of negative records, Newcastle whollops PSG in the Champion's League, and Luton get their first EPL...

Two Premier League weeks with European competitions and EFL Carabao Cup in between, my oh my the action and plots thicken.  Once again we're faced with a multi-RED weekend as the players just can't help themselves.  And Newcastle couldn't help themselves either to a big fat helping of Sheffield United putting 8 past their opponents.  Since it's a remote pod, Gordon decides to c...

The Prem returns from International break and it's perfect timing too as we needed the on-field action to carry us through the pod.  Four teams remain undefeated as two fall off, and the illustrious group chat we're in is starting to become hostile.  The goals and VAR drama is plenty to talk about and, despite, have one tiny sticky note between us, we did quite well.  Who could forget th...

International Break and the promise of Oktoberfest has apparently rotted our brain and thrown up the most non-footballing podcast we've had (if you don't count the summer rant series).  We start with the pod's longest intro with our respective trips to Munich.  Then we dive straight into the potential sale of Everton and then onto the news that United is trading in their team travel...

We are BACK in studio, que annoying air horn noises.  Finally, after 4 remote episodes we crawl our pathetic souls into the studio to record a quality pod.  Of course, we go on tangents and the pod ends up running long, but that's why you listen.  It felt good to be back in person especially with such a fun, goal filled weekend to discuss.  We talk cheapest tickets, touch base on a few scumba...

We just cannot seem to catch a break, and neither can the Premier League players.  We are still remotely recording due to some unforeseen circumstances and the EPL is still dishing out Red Cards like they're COVID Vaccines.  This week we battle through the crazy matches involving the three likeliest Champion Contenders, and take a real hard look at the likelihood of the Wolves and Everton rel...

We finally did it, we pushed Kelly to her limits and she needed yet another vacation to take a break from the previous two episodes of the season.  Graham fills in and lends his old, yet wise, wisdom to the pod throughout, instead of just the few minutes we've offered him previously.  It's one for the books, and I have no doubt it'll be a fan favorite for long time listeners who&apo...

The Prem is BACK and already VAR has taken center stage.  A Red, a penalty, a no penalty, disallowed goals, and no even being used.  Ahhh it's good to be back.  We discuss all the action and get back into our regular schedule.  We also introduce Graham's new segment of looking into the history of premier league stadiums, starting with Arsenal.  The whole pod is capped off with some late...

We're baaaack! After an awesome summer of great random episodes.... oh wait, yeah we didn't really follow through. But you know, we had a HOT GIRL SUMMER! Anyways, this was always a soccer pod.  Back to business already! Man it flew by.  We preview the season in the most haphazard, DITBox way ever.  Please just enjoy the return to football and we will be back to our normal pod schedule n...

And we lasted one episode before it got heated and personal.  This week we bring on Sam, Gordon's amazing wife who has been trying to convince him for 8 years that Dreamwork's Antz is a better movie than Pixar's A Bug's Life.  Yeah, right!  We bring the argument to the pod room where hilarity of course ensues as Sam tries to argue her point to Kelly and Gordon.  We discuss the...

As promised we take a break from podcasting about soccer... OK, we lied a little, this one is still technically about soccer.  BUT, it's a good transitional topic because it's about a fake soccer TV show.  Yes, that's right,  the beloved Ted Lasso.  The three season show about a lovable country American football coach turned Premier League manager.  To help us unpack the emotionally...

In season 4 episode 44, Kelly and Gordon try to FOUR-get their awful pre-season attempt to predict the top four and the relegation zones.  In a wild season of firsts with a world cup sandwiched right in between, it was hard to pick the favorites, so we went with the negatives.  What was most annoying, most shocking, and most hypocritical for us?  Listen and find out.  In the meantime, thank you, t...

In a sort episode today we visit the final day of the season courtesy of Graham's Story behind the fixture.  Huge shoutout to all the friends and family that have stopped by, called, texted, brought food, ran some errands, and love in the last 24 hours, we love you all so much.  Hug you loved ones tight today and enjoy the final day of the EPL season together.  

Kelly and Gordon coming at you remotely, as Gordon braves the wilderness of his front porch with a bottle of bourbon and Kelly paces around her living room with her dog.  This one is packed with goodies and although, at the time we didn't know what the Story Behind the Fixture was going to be, Graham's piece steals the show.  Learn a little about the Man Behind the Story Behind the Fixtu...

Whoever said Monday was the worst day of the week obviously never watched the Premier League.  Three games and 21 goals between them cast a shadow that was too big for the weekend's fixtures to step out from.  We dive deep into the three relegation battle games and lightly touch on the weekend events.  We talk about the different leagues beginning their playoffs and the strength of the World&...

Yes, another manager has been sacked.  Despite there being only 4 games remaining, in a historical season for it, I don't know why we're shocked. Here to talk about Leed's hopes and dreams riding on the back of their new manager is DITBox.  We not only cover Big Sam, but his little Sam too. We go in depth about all the relegation battle and what's left to play for.  Who gets th...

Things start off rocky as Kelly takes a pre-pod shot and it goes awry, luckily they manage to squeeze everything in and Kelly even comes up with a new phrase.  A 30 goal weekend, a title race blown wide open, and a relegation battle for the ages.  We discuss the Tottenham debacle, the managerial carousel up and down the country and damn near everything in between.  Of course we also keep you up to...

It's a big big week for footballing news.  FA Cup on the horizon, big games won loss and drawn in the EPL, lower leagues are coming to the exciting end, and Champions League is heading to the Semis.  You better believe we crammed all of it into an episode AND had time for an Ice Cream break in between.  This podcast may be the poster child for hump day brain fog but we rode out the storm and...
