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, and what to look forward to in the second half of the season. We also touch on the first legs of the Carabao Cup games and what Arteta said about the balls. So come on back, grab a cold, or warm bevey, and intake the sweet nectar that it Drinking Inside the Box. In addition to ear hole consumption, we also are on Patreon in video form via American Scouser.

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 valiant 10 man effort to secure a point, while the Blues continue their hot streak and are right on the coat tails. Man City drop calamitous points to local rivals extending the run to 1 win in 11 for Pep's men, and another massive rivalry also sees the visitors leave with all three points. Finally in the battle of old European powers revival, Nottingham Forest pull a big comeback against Villa to win at home. Come join us as we gear up for the most magical time to be an English football supporter! With games coming thick and fast, we could be podding 4 match weeks from now! Merry Christmas to all our loyal DITBoxers! And may you put the BOX in everyone's Boxing Day.

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 at Ashworth's dismissal, and contemplate all things Merseyside Derby. Once again we were treated to some goal fests and despite not being able to speak on two games, we still eclipsed 30 goals this weekend. On field action included, City and Arsenal dropping points, Chelsea ruling Spurs, and some late late action in the Leicester -Brighton game and the Ipswich-Bournemouth game. With their late comeback win, Bournemouth set an EPL record. Are Chelsea contenders? Are we happy the Merseyside Derby was postponed? Will Kelly and Gordon get any sleep tonight? Find out on this week's episode! As always for exclusive video follow us on Patreon via American Scousers.

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 try to cram 20 matches and all the goals into a regular podcast. If you're in the mood for no stop, speed review, this episode is for you. Chelsea's re-emergence, Man City's poor form, Liverpool's slight wobble, Arsenal's big week, and Everton's "honor's even" week losing 4-0 then winning 4-0. If West Ham still have a manager by the time this comes out Friday morning, we'll buy everyone a drink!

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 into another exciting, table defining weekend of EPL action in meal form. We begin with the appetizers, MW 12 gave us a couple of shockers, some corrected themselves, some remained shockers. We talk Grandma's secret recipe of Pep's wild comments on self harm, Auntie Marie's 3 bean casserole of Salah contract talks, Dad's famous Cooper's firing, and a little side of BBC's Women Footballer of the Year. In the main course on field variety, we dish out the ham with Tottenham's 4 goal thrashing of a wery City, the deep fried turkey of Southampton's valiant effort against Liverpool, and, for the vegetarians, Amorim's lack luster first outing at Ipswich. Don't fill up yet though as desert is our discussion on West Ham and Newcastle's elevator game. So loosen that belt, find a comfy chair, and chow down! Happy Thanksgiving DITBoxers!

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 compared to previous years. All that is just the foundation for the actual action on the pitch, in which City and Pep have now dropped four in a row, and Arteta winds up on the floor after throwing his pacifier out of the crib. Kelly forgets about a bicycle kick, which tells you how much action took place. Maybe that, or maybe it was because she had to stomach the complement she paid to Pickford's 6 save shut out. As always, watch the video version via Patreon!

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 do when the season ends. Despite hardly having a breather, plenty happened off the pitch, Kudus suspension was extended, Mendy got a fat pay check, and the Women's game is once again shadowed by the Men's. So come on out of your "Dark Place" Bernardo and crack open a cold one with friends to discuss the wild wins and losses from Match Week 10 and Champions League week 4. As always, you can find our video versions on American Scouser's Patreon page!

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 goals (6 in total, all of which affected points totals). From the lonely, bubble laden, stare of Ten Hag, to the Beto goal eruption, we cover it all. Palmer comes up big for Chelsea, and Salah delivers the good to save Liverpool, who could ask for more?
