Though barrenness of yet another international break is upon us, the latest #Pondcast episode has also arrived to take you back in time to relive last week’s club football action instead. On this week’s show, we contemplate how Mourinho managed to survive a dagger-wielding Rafa Benítez, why Liverpool-City failed to live up to the impossible expectations we […]
#Pondcast: A Bad Week for José
Two defeats in a week would be bad enough for Manchester United’s José Mourinho, but falling to a Championship side managed by one of your former proteges and following that up with a loss to the most chaotic club in your own division certainly makes the two losses sting a little bit more. And since […]
#Pondcast: Into the Wilds of Europe
The UEFA Champions League group stage kicked off last week, wildly some might even say. Liverpool triumphed in a goalfest with Jordan Saint-Germain, Spurs and the Cityzens lodged disappointing losses to former giants, and Manchester United found victory on the pitch while still taking L’s in their locker room. Then in American matters, there are […]
#Pondcast: A Title to Lose
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to listen to a #Pondcast where hosts D.J. and Jeremy did almost zero prep work and recorded after an afternoon of day drinking at a hot soccer match, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for! And on this week’s poorly prepared podcast, the guys haphazardly hand Liverpool […]
Relaunching the WSOTP Soccer Pub Atlas
They say you never forget your first time. Watching a game at a soccer bar, that is. I do at least. I was just 16 years old when I had my first, way back in 1998. One of my youth coaches had informed me there was a small Irish pub not far from a friend’s […]
#Pondcast: It’s Premature to Call the Hornets Foxes
Fill your international break with #Pondcast joy as D.J. and Jeremy tackle Watford’s perfect start to the Premier League season before contrasting it with West Ham’s own chaotic commencement to the campaign. The guys then tackled this year’s Champions League draw and shared some listener contributions on the subject before taking a trip Stateside to assess the […]
#Pondcast: Wolves on the Hunt
Predators were on the prowl this past weekend on both sides of the pond — City slaying Wolverhampton Wanderers on one side, and record-setting Josef Martínez on the other — and D.J. and Jeremy devoted time to both on this week’s episode. Run downs of the rest of the Premier League’s weekend fixtures and a […]
#Pondcast: Welcome to the Hiccups
Thet second weekend of Premier League action was a mostly predictable affair from a results standpoint. Well, unless you’re Ed Woodward or José Mourinho anyway. And equally predictable, the guys spent quite a bit of time on this week’s show discussing the hiccups Manchester United are experiencing so early in the campaign. The rest of […]
#Pondcast: Picking Up Where We Left Off
The Premier League made its return last weekend, and things seem to pick back up exactly where we left them in May. On this week’s show, the guys reviewed the close of the EPL’s summer transfer window before running down the weekend action — including Manchester City’s expected win at the Emirates. They also took […]
#Pondcast: It’s a Six-Peat
If you thought you weren’t going to have to hear from us for a while after we subjected you to five World Cup specials, you were terrible]y, terribly wrong. Just three weeks after France were crowned kings of the soccer world, D.J. and Jeremy are back once again for the debut of the sixth season of the […]
