With Jeremy off on parental duties in the supposed “most magical place on earth”, we roped in longtime friend of the #Pondcast, Fletcher Sharpe (@SaintFDW) of Daily Detroit to fill in. Together with D.J., Fletcher helped rundown some of the biggest storylines from this past weekend’s Premier League action, including thoughts on Arsenal wriggling their way out of the North London Derby using the covid loophole, the cycle of disappointment continued by Rafa Benítez at Everton, and Coutinho’s Aston Villa debut. And after touching in on the craziness and chaos at the Africa Cup of Nations, we leaned on Fletcher’s knowledge of Detroit City FC’s jump to the USL Championship and the impact that will or won’t have on the locals.
