This week’s Pic of the Week not only captured a moment in time when several people received news they weren’t quite expecting, but also the different reactions that surprise news can induce within that group of people. On the right, we find an unnamed Sky Sports host breaking the news to the in-stadium studio panel after Arsenal-Manchester United that […]

an extra hot seat
Let’s start this off by acknowledging that in the world of modern football, there is nary a manager that isn’t in a hot seat. Results matter more than ever — thanks 24-hour news cycle — and any changes in management must produce results immediately. If they don’t, cutting your losses and moving on is the norm. It’s very […]
WSOTP pod: we might end this shirtless
Trust us when we say that while D.J. was excited that his Spurs knocked off mighty Manchester City at the weekend — and that we made time to fully analyze City’s sudden drop in form and Spurs’ improvements — but this past week’s world of soccer events just seemed so run of the mill. There […]
WSOTP pod: the drama club
Welcome to the point in the yearly soccer calendar when there is literally too much going on to pay attention. The domestic regular seasons are winding to a close and the playoffs soon to begin. Across the pond, the European leagues are now old enough to have developed narratives and full-fledged drama. Just in case you […]
WSOTP pod: post-international break blues
After a nearly two weeks off — you can thank the stupid international break for that — the boys return to bring you another action packed episode of the #Pondcast. And with two weeks’ worth of content to choose from, you can bet D.J. and Jeremy had plenty to say. There was USMNT drama to discuss, […]
ten words or less #113

WSOTP pod: the day before deadline day
Transfer Deadline Day is upon us, and if you’re anything like #Pondcast hosts D.J. & Jeremy, it’s kind of like Christmas in September. The twice annual tradition gives us many stories to track, crushed hearts to point and laugh at, and angry tweets to direct towards our favorite clubs. And with it being such an important event in […]
wild speculation
Without a doubt, these are exciting times in Cincinnati soccer. Two fourth tier clubs call the city home, fully professional indoor soccer looks on the verge of a return to the area, and a new billionaire-backed USL club with sky-high ambitions just set up shop here, too. But this past week, the keen-eyed observers in the area would […]
WSOTP pod: a visit from the mailman
If you’re one of the rare subscribers that gives the entirety of our often lengthy shows a listening, you’ll know that we end each episode of the #Pondcast with a plea for your questions and topics for next week’s show. Each pod that goes up also includes a written reminder of that as well — yup, it’s down there […]
WSOTP pod: what transfer window?
It was a hectic week in the world of soccer, particularly for those of us who live in the Cincinnati area. There was an interesting weekend of Premier League football, highlighted by a crazy Manchester City mauling of champions Chelsea. Of course MLS was at it again this weekend, too. The Bundesliga finally made a proper […]
