  • Why Footballers Eat THIS Before Kick-Off (It’s Not What You Think!)

    Why Footballers Eat THIS Before Kick-Off (It’s Not What You Think!)
    Dec 7 2025
    We’re back from FC United! ⚽️ In this episode of Kicking Back, we unpack a proper grassroots football day out - from the atmosphere and fans to what makes non-league football feel so raw, honest, and important. Proper football - no frills, all heart. ❤️

    Things spiral quickly as we build a combined five-a-side team - but made entirely out of takeaway meals. Debates are had, questionable selections are justified, and certain iconic orders cause serious disagreement. 🍕🍔🔥

    Millie then reveals the surprising pre-match meal footballers love (yes, really) as we chat routines, superstitions, and how food choices before kick-off are often a lot less glamorous than you’d expect. 🍽️⚽️

    We round things off with an absolutely catastrophic game of Draw The Baller, where confidence is sky-high, artistic ability is rock-bottom, and guessing skills somehow get worse as the game goes on! 🎨😭

  • Dortmund Away: The Versace Shirt, The Yellow Wall & The Great Cereal Debate

    Dortmund Away: The Versace Shirt, The Yellow Wall & The Great Cereal Debate
    Nov 23 2025
    We’re back from Dortmund! 🇩🇪 In this episode of Kicking Back, we dive into an unreal trip to Germany - from the madness of the Yellow Wall to a dangerously well-stocked corner shop… and of course the moment Lewis panic-bought a Versace shirt. 😂

    We also chat through everything Dortmund gets right: the atmosphere, the speakers, the stickers, the culture, and the feeling of a whole city built around football. Proper football country. 🟡⚫

    Then we swing back home as Lewis talks about announcing at Blackburn Rovers’ 150th anniversary match - including seeing childhood heroes return to the pitch and discovering his mascot moment with Brad Friedel on YouTube 20 years later. A wild full-circle moment. 💙

    Millie also shares what it was like playing her first game at Turf Moor, complete with Icelandic claps, sunset over the stadium, and noisy fans that made it a day to remember. ❤️

    From there, things get beautifully chaotic as we dive into Scotland’s overhead-kick heroics, Ireland’s World Cup hopes, FIFA vs PES nostalgia, long-lost cereals, Match Attax memories - and finish with the Great Cereal Debate, a full five-a-side draft of the greatest cereals ever made. 🥣🔥

  • Nantwich Away: The Great Traitors Debate!

    Nantwich Away: The Great Traitors Debate!
    Nov 9 2025
    We’re back from Nantwich! ⚽ In this episode of Kicking Back, we look back on our trip and chat through what caught us completely by surprise - from the unexpected moments on and off the pitch to a few lessons we didn’t see coming. 👀

    Then, it’s time for round three of Draw the Baller - and somehow, our artistic skills have managed to get even worse. 🎨😂

    Plus, we dive into The Traitors - the show that’s taken the nation by storm and ask the big question: if you could change one rule, what would it be? 🕵️‍♀️

    And to finish, we preview the next club we’ll be visiting… and let’s just say, it’s probably our biggest one yet. 👀🔥

  • Benfica Away: Booze, Bruno & Beyond Belief

    Benfica Away: Booze, Bruno & Beyond Belief
    Oct 26 2025
    We’re back from Lisbon! 🇵🇹 In this episode of Kicking Back, Lewis and Millie look back on an unforgettable trip to Portugal - including one day that went very wrong (or very right?) after he accidentally got drunk but thought he was ill. 😂

    Then, the pair attempt to put their artistic skills to the test in a round of Draw the Baller - this time trying to sketch a modern-day Manchester United legend… with predictably tragic results. 🎨⚽

    And with Halloween just around the corner, things take a spooky turn as we play Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction - with a football twist. 👻⚽
