#Pondcast: Long overdue
Leicester tied a record, Liverpool beat Spurs (again), Arsenal’s captain told his own fans bad things, and plenty more happened in the Premier League’s wild weekend, and we obviously got into it all on this week’s show.

#Pondcast: VAR and the death of everything
For seemingly the umpteenth time in this young season, Video Assistant Referee was back in the wrong kind of spotlight this past weekend in England.

#Pondcast: We’re laboring
Don’t ever say the #Pondcast team doesn’t put in the work to bring your enjoyable content, as D.J. and Jeremy convened on Labor Day to deliver you another hour’s worth of soccer listening pleasure. What exactly did we labor to bring you? We dissected how Arsenal and Tottenham splitting the spoils in the North London Derby only served […]
