🍺 Another week, another round in the box.

This week, Craig brings a bit of local flavour to What’s in the Glass?, before the dads tackle a very special edition of What You Wearing? 👀

Then it’s onto the football.

⚽ We pick through all the big talking points from the weekend’s results.

📊 The FPL Round-Up returns as we look at the heroes, the disasters, the transfers we’re already regretting and what comes next.❤️

And for this week’s main feature, we go back to where it all started: why do we support the clubs we support?

Craig and Carl explain how they ended up following Manchester United, Rich tells the story behind his Chelsea allegiance, and we get into the people, players and moments that turned three kids into three football-obsessed dads. Because you can change your FPL team every week…but you’re stuck with your football club for life.

Three dads. Three clubs. A few beers. Plenty of opinions.

Football. FPL. Beers. Mates. Questionable opinions.

In this Dads in the Box special, Craig, Carl and Rich take a closer look at the career of Xabi Alonso — from one of the classiest midfielders of his generation to one of football’s most exciting young managers.

We look back at his playing days, his journey into management and what made his time at Bayer Leverkusen so impressive, before turning our attention to Chelsea.
What will Alonso bring to Stamford Bridge? Why is there so much excitement around Chelsea right now? And is the hype justified, or are we getting carried away far too early?

Get involved from the first season — we’ll be following the league throughout the year and featuring the highs, lows and absolute FPL disasters on the pod.

You might want to get comfortable for this one… 🍺

The summer transfer window is done, so Craig, Carl and Rich are going club by club through all 20 Premier League teams to rate their summer business.

Who smashed the window? Who spent an absolute fortune and somehow got worse? Which signings are we jealous of? And which clubs have left us wondering what the hell they were doing?

We work through the league alphabetically, looking at the big arrivals, departures and money spent before handing out our Dads in the Box transfer-window ratings.

And because it’s still Dads in the Box, we’ve got all the usual nonsense too…

🍺 What’s in the Glass? — another beer gets put to the test.
👕 What You Wearing? — the mystery shirts are back.
🎯 Carl’s Duds — it’s in there somewhere… but who ends up staring down the barrel this week?

It’s a Transfer Special, it’s a long one, and things inevitably go off track along the way.
