Last week, the guys foolishly took the week off from the #Pondcast as they licked their wounds after seeing both of their sides tumble out of the FA Cup. This week they’re being made to pay for it with a fortnight’s worth of football to cover. So what exactly is on deck for this week? How about a recounting […]
beckham and new york city: a match made in MLS heaven?
From its very beginning, Major League Soccer’s proposed return to Miami has seemed a bit off. It’s an exciting market, but one that professional soccer had yet to conquer. Under the stewardship of global superstar, two-time MLS Cup champion and owner of a discount MLS expansion agreement, David Beckham, the goal of bringing professional soccer back to Southern Florida […]
pic of the week 12/29-1/4
A few weeks back, our featured “Pic of the Week” showed Fernando Torres receiving a warm reception from supporters upon his return to his former club. And while this week’s selection also features a picture of a former player being greeted back at his old stomping grounds, it’s fair to say that Steven Defour was welcomed […]
ten words or less #104
Yes, I’m well aware that things around here have slowed down a bit lately. Posts have dropped off. Our Twitter feed has been relatively quiet. And I’ve not written much elsewhere either. Sorry. But I promise there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes. A considerable amount of my time recently has been poured […]
announcing: background noise fc
We’ve been recording the official Wrong Side of the Pond podcast for just over a year and a half now. In total, we’ve recorded sixty-six episodes and have amassed a healthy following which numbered just shy of 200 subscriptions after our last episode. And to be honest, we’re stoked with how far we’ve come. Recording has been a blast, and […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 23
We know this wasn’t the most exciting of Premier League weekends — though we’d expect Arsenal fans might have something different to say about that. Chelsea smashed someone, Villa and QPR continued to stumble, Spurs tripped their way to three points at home, Everton continue to do the opposite of impress and Alan Pardew pulls off another […]
pic of the week 1/12-1/19
This is an actual screenshot of an actual tweet from the actual official Twitter account of Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC sent just one day after the club had shipped AWOL Englishman Jermain Defoe to Sunderland for cash plus Jozy Altidore. In fact, as of publication, this tweet is still somehow live. I totally get […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 22
Premier League recaps? Check. Balon d’OR Predictions? You know it. Transfer Fodder? There’s plenty of that. Crazy Jurgen Klinsmann USMNT call ups? Of course. Narrative about new managers winning their first games in charge? Regrettably. Episode 22 of the Pondcast features all those discussions and much, much more. Have something you want us to chat about next week? Send your topics and […]
power to abuse
Undersell and over deliver. That may be a classic sales cliché, but it’s an expression that’s still worth following. By not setting the bar too high, a business gives itself the opportunity to exceed customer expectations, earn their trust and hopefully gain a long-time commitment from them. Promise too much and miss the mark, and you can pretty […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 21
Thanks to a weekend of rather underwhelming FA Cup third round matches, the “Pondcast” team now finally have a chance to catch up with the hectic English football holiday stretch. On this episode, the guys dive into the “Magic of the Cup” — or lack there of — rundown the New Years Day Premier League fixtures, and preview […]
