Drinking Inside the Box

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 Rashford takes Amorim's words and runs, Crawley Town gives a lifetime ban to a fan thanks to supporters help, and the NWSL creates a fund to help the victims of coaching assault cases from the 2021 trial.   On the weekend eve of the second biggest sporting event of the year, we dive in deep to the real football and leave the other to it's commercial focused sport. So grab a cold beverage and join us for this week's episode.

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 against Liverpool, could that be the cherry on top for the rest of the league? Especially with Arsenal squaring off against City.  We talk the tough decision facing Spurs with their leadership and finish it off with the amazing story Esse gets to tell his grandkids.  It's a loaded baked potato of an episode so grab a fork and plug us into your ear holes.

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 the death.  It is all coming to a head as we round the final corner of the season.  We also touch on the MW 7 of the UCL and take a glance at the table to see what teams need what to make the next round.  Join us in the fun!

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?

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.
