Drinking Inside the Box Kelly&Gordo

Oh the pod has devolved with the lunacy of the run in.  Although Liverpool's fate has since been sealed we don't know that yet upon recording so come laugh at us being optimistic.  Regardless, we talk FA Cup action and all the fascinating relegation battling results.  We try to guess each other's thoughts and marvel over how Dean Henderson can go from hero to zero overnight despite Palace collecting 9 points from 3 games.  It's all over the board here but it's a fun show.   

UCL action boils down to the semis sans English teams, and Liverpool's miracle story book ending for Jurgen sees it's wheels fall off.   Tottenham lose and Villa take the points at Arsenal.  Just when you thought you had the season cornered it throws up some incredible turns.  Burnley's keeper has a wonder game marred by an OG and, despite being 4-0 up, Chelsea children have a spat about a PK.  It's an episode bursting with storylines and you won't want to miss it. Gear up for the weekend and get the low down from last week's action.     

We started off on an awful topic in our pre-pod conversation but we were able to quickly bounce back with all the glorious action and bring you the "sexy-side" of the sport.  We've got goals, goals, goals, and an almighty relegation battle weekend.  Points grabbed and lost at the death of a handful of games and we cover it all.  From the bummerfest of City vs Arsenal to the glory of Newcastle vs West Ham.  Catch up with Pep's press conference and find out who Kelly thinks will win the league... or how she avoids the question.  All that and more, inside this week's episode of the podcast! Enjoy and strap in for the RUN DOWN!

Have you ever wondered about our playing careers?  Ever wonder what movies inspire us?  Ever wonder if Kelly has peed herself during practice?  No, neither have we but we are telling you anyways.  For the final international break before the end of the season, we decided to play a short version of 21 questions all relating to our sports lives.  Some answers make us laugh, some bring up tearful moments, but all are the truth.  We do not hold back on embarrassments, anger, or sadness.  So plug us into your earholes and allow us to spill our therapy session into your brains. 

International break has begun but not before a few spicy FA Cup ties and a few boring EPL matches.  Honors were split between the two competitions and so was the berth of the action.  We dive into all the action this week and go on a few rants about a certain game.  We discuss the points deduction, the Spanish raids, and all the goals from the English domestic competitions from the weekend.  We even dabble a bit in the quarter final draws for Europe. We do all this while battling foggy minds and stuffy noses.  So grab a beer, or a hot lemon tea for the throats as the second midwest winter is in full effect. 

In a week where the table sees a new leader, we were privy to witness a masterclass in tactics and skill in Pep and Jurgen's last Premier League meeting.  Although the spoils were shared it was nothing short of what we expect when these two teams face off.  Arsenal took advantage of the fight and snuck into the lead on their 2024 goal difference boost.  Big games at the bottom of the table all went to draws despite leading positions for the teams who needed it most.  Key teams struggling to stay out of the scrap dropped points.  Newcastle and Chelsea battled for the top half spot and Villa and Tottenham squared off for Champions League spots.  It was a huge weekend for placements and we've covered it all in our St. Pat's Themed episode.
