With weather now turning occasionally, slightly warmer, it’s about that time of year for the #Pondcast team to look ahead to the rapidly approaching Major League Soccer season. As such, Season 3 Episode 30 will serve as this year’s official ‘MLS Preview’ show. But we had to really squeeze it in there, since the rest of the […]
leicester, norwich and small town lad sentiments
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a bit of landmark post for ‘Wrong Side of the Pond’, as it represents the first ever guest post on the site. With my role with FC Cincinnati siphoning off most my writing efforts, it presented the unique opportunity to not only continue offering new original content, but also select other writers a […]
WSOTP pod: soccer’s johnny appleseed
Cup competitions were at the fore this past week — FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, Copa América Centenario and even the FC Cincinnati’s preseason participation in the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic — and as such, they take up a sizable chunk of this week’s #Pondcast. But even with all of those tournaments, there was also ample […]
WSOTP pod: this looks like a title race
This weekend’s Premier League action saw the top four sides. Two of those teams are top four regulars, two of whom (mostly) are not. And despite two statement wins — one from each group — the two unusual suspects still sitting atop the table with just six points separating the foursome. You know what that’s called? A […]
WSOTP pod: shhh… leicester are for real
Not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but I’m pretty sure Leicester are actually pretty damn good. I know, I know: Jeremy and D.J. both picked them to get relegated this season in the first episode of Season 3. But so did lots of other people, so let’s ignore that. And fittingly, the guys get into […]
ten words or less #116
See, the blog isn’t dead yet! Though I’m guessing the less than 100 words below linking to content that isn’t my own probably isn’t the thing I should hang my “the blog isn’t dead yet” hat on. If nothing else, it’s something for you to chew on to end your weekend/get your week started. Too, I’ll […]
WSOTP pod: we’re not going anywhere
As you may have noticed, I dropped some news yesterday. And because of that news, WSOTP will be through some pretty massive changes. But worry not — and it looks like many of you did — the #Pondcast isn’t going away! And to prove that point, we’re dropping another episode the day after the big news. So what exactly is […]
A New Direction
When I started Wrong Side of the Pond close to seven years ago, I didn’t really have a plan in mind. I had just moved to Louisville for a non-soccer related job, and I was looking for a way to pass the time in a new city where I didn’t know anybody. Keeping a blog to spill the many, many thoughts […]
WSOTP pod: we’ll ask the questions around here
Premier League weekend recap? We got that. Yeah, we’ve got some hot takes on Norwich City vs Liverpool, and Arsenal-Chelsea, too. You know we’ve got that transfer window gossip, plus some thoughts on the movers and shakers since last week. And for a change, we decided to ask you guys — our listeners — a question […]
WSOTP hair XI
If there’s one thing that footballers are known for outside of the sport they play — no, it’s not for theatrical diving, their scandals or the WAGs they often have in tow — it’s for the eccentric hair styles they bring to the pitch along with them. Some of those do’s have proven so popular […]
