HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Even if you're not celebrating the holiday, as not all of our listeners do, join us in this ear feast! We gorge ourselves on Mourinho's fantastic press week, Klopp's tactics against the Foxes, and 2 more years of Pep. But the managers are just the starters, our main course in the stellar weekend for the majority of the "Big Six" and the rest of the week 9 action. For dessert we will be breaking down the table, fantasy, and week 10's mouthwatering Sunday! Gobble gobble...

International break blues. We discuss the toll that COVID and condensed schedules are having on the players we love. As Liverpool fans it has been painfully apparent that something is definitely wrong. We also take a look into a few crazy events from last week. Even without the EPL the soccer world marches on and DITBOX is no different.

It was a weekend filled with lack luster performances and quite a few missed PKs. From saved, to missed targets, and even a miserable panenka! Kelly and Gordon cover it all; the good, the bad, and the Pickford. We help Pep wring out his 150lb cardigan, discover a Ings-less Southampton in good form, and even shine a light on the new boy in South London (although we're not as "talented" as the Palace Cheerleaders). So grab a beer and plug us in. Unless you're driving, then call an Uber and make th...

Kelly and Gordon are officially in different time zones. Since Gordon still hasn't received his stuff from the moving company it's a Skype episode. They discuss a rather VAR filled week in which goalies were the main talking point. We talk Pep's water bottle obsession, Pickford's dumb luck, Mendy's rise, and a couple of injuries. Also there's a SPIDER... I think.

Graham comes back to join Kelly and Gordon in their last in-person podcast for some time. We talk on the Aguero vs Sian incident, the Liverpool vs Everton debacle and week 6 games. We take a few red card shots and get in depth on Marcus Rashford and his fight to end child hunger in England.

Who ever said we couldn't dip into the finances of the EPL? Well we can, but we probably shouldn't. Unfortunately our hands were forced due to the craziness of the international break. A few proposals were set forth and writers took time to dive into the potential COVID collapse. Naturally, we had to get in the topic as well.

We thought last week was crazy... words cannot even describe Week 4. 41 goals and all the big teams minus Spurs were humiliated. Join in on the fun as we talk about all the goals, goalie spills, and take a red card shot! An international break has never looked so good! Time to catch our breaths.

A weekend filled with dramatic score lines and plenty of VAR decisions kept Kelly and Gordon busy in this episode. Their worst fears also became reality as there were exactly 36 goals this weekend, meaning both of them had to take a shot at the beginning of the pod. Come for the match week discussion, stay for the double baked potatoes.

44 goals, 5 red cards, and a litany of penalty kicks... What a weekend. How could we possibly fit all of it into one hour... Well we didn't. Partially because of the amount of content, partially because we got kind of blitzed. Rants galore... Enjoy!

Week 1 of the 2020/21 season is in the books. We saw a few players begin their race for the Golden Boot, and more than a handful of debut goals. Leeds stole the show but came up empty handed, and Tottenham started the season the way they left off, limp. Kelly and Gordon discuss the Ligue 1 red card give away, and describe their ideal way to spend the last moments of humanity. This episode is not to be missed!

WE'RE BACK FOR REAL!!! Season two begins with an introduction to the three new teams in the premier league this season. We dive into their history, their current situations, and the players to watch for them. We then get into the notable transfers, our predictions, and the matches we're looking forward to most. Strap in for 2020/21.

We're Baaaaaack. Season two kicks off with an old episode that started it off last year. This one is for all the new listeners who maybe don't know a lot about the EPL or the beautiful game. Be kind, this was only the second episode we record, it gets better I promise!!! Love you all and can't wait to officially kick off the 2020/21 season!!!!

As awesome as it was to have a sad Gordon, alone in his basement on a shit headphone mic, it's so nice to have Kelly back! The dynamic duo discusses the penultimate game week which leads into one of the most exciting Championship Sunday in recent memory. They polish off a few Monaco's before the pod even begins so things get off to a fast start. They discuss Liverpool's "failure", Watford's botch job, and West Ham's main man.

This episode is a little different. Gordon is alone, without a mic, and with thoughts elsewhere. Never-the-less, the show must go on, especially because it is our 52nd episode. Hug and kiss your loved ones tonight.

In this week's episode we attempt to break down 23 games! We can't dwell on wins and loses because the season keeps rolling and form keeps fluctuating. Liverpool get beat 4-0 and then win 2-0, Man City win 4-0 and then lose 1-0. It's all rather topsy turvy. Miraculously, only one red card was handed out in this batch of games but Kelly decided to take a couple of shots anyways. Old habits die hard.

50 EPISODES! Thank you so much to all of our listeners and supporters, we have hit another milestone! What a better way and time to celebrate than to intertwine it with our beloved Reds winning the first top flight title in 30 years. Champagne is popped, red solo cups are busted out, and Rumchata is shot! Let's F@#King Go!

We know, we know, this is late... But can you blame us? Liverpool became Champions of England and we went out celebrating instead of editing. Anyways, in this week's episode we discuss the first 19 games of Project Restart. We try to remember our podcasting flow and episode layout, while being overwhelmed by amazing saves, goals, and scenes. We also take our first two pod shots since March! Feels so good to be back!

HAPPY RETURN OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!! AND Happy one year of podding. Kelly and Gordon bring us all back up to speed before the weekend games and even correctly predicted Sheffield getting screwed on VAR and David Luiz being a nutcase. Not that hard, we know, but still feeling pretty good about it. We hope you enjoy this fun rendition in preparation for the 2019-2020 season completion. Let's go!!!!

TWO PODS AWAY FROM FOOTBALL. Kelly and Gordon go hard in the paint for the last of the weird and random coronavirus pods. With all the big leagues (minus the French, booo) coming back, the world is buzzing. That means there is literally no end to the topics to discuss this week. Enjoy because, as Sugarcult once said, "I'm bouncing off the walls again.... WHOOOAA!"

As the world prepare for the return of the rest of the leagues, tragedy strikes. Football refused to remain silent and used it's massive platform to voice their support of the Black Lives Matters movement after the events in Minnesota last week. We discuss the regular new articles and events of the last week but we also take some time to dissect what happened and where did football fall in the matter.

What is a Phenomicale... Well you'll have to listen to find out. Words are invented, beers are shared, and Gordon is promoted to host and demoted within 2 minutes of the podcast starting. We buzz through the second and third return game weeks for the Bundesliga and look forward to our precious EPL returning. We finish off on a serious note by discussing female athlete's ongoing fight for equality in pay.

It may not be the Premier League, but it is still football, and that is good enough for us! Kelly and Gordon, finally, get to break down some legit, professional games and discuss their thoughts on the first league back without fans. Get your lederhosen on, and your steins filled, were going Deutsch!

Kelly and Gordon call in the troops, literally call them. Brian, Logan, Graham, and Sean return to the podcast as well as two new comers Marissa and Joe. Each gives their take on the current situation with sports slowly starting to return as well as what they would want the plan to be if they were sitting in the hot seat. The diversity of responses, point of views, and thought processes make this one of our favorite episodes to date. We hope you can sit back, agree with some points, shout at oth...

Kelly and Gordo celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Margs and managers. We break down the status of football returning to Europe and the developing story at Newcastle. We close the episode with a fun article on what the players are doing with all their free-time and a Kelly special.

We...Are...Back! And better than ever. As more leagues start making decisions on the outcomes of their seasons, we had plenty to talk about. From the French League decided it was over and PSG were champs, to the Dutch League who ended the season without a winner, it's all over the place. This one is basically filled with growing speculation, anticipation, and hopes that in one way or another the 2019-20 season will see a way to completion. The ending is extra long for two personal and funny bonu...

Kelly and Gordon get sappy about their growth as humans through sports. But don't worry it's only on a tangent, that's not this week's theme. We discuss the potential return to football, how the game is changed over the last decade, and try to regain some normalcy by discussing the biggest fish in the transfer sea! And for the second week running, Gordon tries not to cry while recording.
Apr 24, 2020•1 hr 3 min•Season 1Ep. 40
Want to listen to Kelly and Gordon struggle through another week without football... no, neither did we, so we invited our very good friend Sean on the podcast. Sean is a die-hard Manchester United supporter, a high school soccer coach, and one of the most intelligent people we know. We talk United, we talk VAR, and we discuss how Sean rates the high school game in the Midwest. Come for the pod, stay for the hot dogs.

Week 6,193 without football. Just kidding, but it sure does feel like it. On this podcast we decided to try to give you all something to do to fill the football void this weekend. FOOTBALL MOVIES!!! We discuss our favorites and do, quite literally, the worst job of summaries and stumble through the list much like we stumble through life. We also touch on what every team is doing financially during the break, and thank our amazing fans for participating in our 5-A-Side tournament.

Kelly and Gordon give Logan a ring to discuss the beautiful game from the perspective of a American sports fanatic. While he admits he doesn't know a lot about Football, he does know an incredible amount about sports in general and it comes out in full force. From how we all got involved to who he should consider supporting, by the end of the podcast Logan will be a household name. He even takes a turn hosting and we go into detail about the Man City UEFA ban.
Apr 03, 2020•1 hr 37 min•Season 1Ep. 37
Yeah, we go there. With the lack of sports, and the quarantine in effect in the US, Kelly and Gordon start to get a little nuts. Miraculously, we still find some football stories to discuss as well as debating how feasible restarting the premier league is. We play a little game at the end and want you to join in the fun as well. See our social media for details and win yourself some swag!!!
