Drinking Inside the Box is two friends sharing a drink or four, talking about the beautiful game. Kelly and her Co-Host Gordon cover the English Premier League in their own unique way with their hearts on their sleeves and an alcoholic beverage in hand. The pod is geared towards all fans new and old, going into detail about the games as well as having guests on who support the various teams in the league. So if you already love the beautiful game, thinking about liking it, or just like beer, ...

Kelly is back stateside and brings the heat with her Match Week 2 analysis. Don't want to give to much away but she even compares Chelsea to moldy fruit and veggies.

With many managers moving on or being fired, Klopp stands out. His farewell celebration eclipsed City's historic 4th title on the bounce in both media and turnout.
