I know the title of this week’s episode of the #Pondcast is a bit cringe worthy,  but I just couldn’t help it. The draw of using the awful pun — inspired by us welcoming on the first ever FC Cincinnati signing, Cincinnati-native Austin Berry — was just too much. Sorry Austin, we owed you better.

Also “berry special” on this week’s pod is the much anticipated “WSOTP Holiday Gift Buying Guide”, where the guys each offer up three great and three not-so-great gift ideas for the soccer loving friends and family in your holiday gift exchanges. For the lazy, we’re working to get that into a link-centric separate blog post later this week, too. Also on tap are looks around another chaotic week in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League draw. The normal weekly segments are in there, too.
