After surviving the early year bugs that seem to be doing the rounds, a scruffy D.J. and worn-down Jeremy reconvened following a week off to examine Liverpool’s continued dominance — and why it’s okay to admit they’ve spent money to get that way. Too, we looked at Sergio Agüero’s record-setting day against Aston Villa, Bournemouth’s […]

#Pondcast: The episode of the decade
In perfectly unplanned irony, the 20th episode of season seven of the #Pondcast also happens to be the first episode of 2020. And we used the special occasion as an opportunity to reflect back over the previous decade that was in the wild and crazy world of football. First, we took a peek back at […]
#Pondcast: We’re not late
Honestly, we’re not. So what if the guys tried to record on their normal Monday night session and didn’t. Just look at it this way: a delay meant D.J. and Jeremy could squeeze in most of the midweek action into the latest show, too. So in reality, this episode is more like a bonus episode. Right?! So, […]
#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. On this side of the Atlantic, we were treated to the best round of MLS Cup playoff action […]
#Pondcast: Perfect imperfection
Last weekend’s Premier League action finally saw Liverpool’s red-hot start to the campaign slightly cooled at Old Trafford, as Ole’s Red Devils snatched the first points away from the leaders so far this campaign. We analyzed how the draw might impact Liverpool’s title hopes, then explored further D.J.’s Spurs-shaped misery before recapping the rest of […]
#Pondcast: Recapping sadness in Cincinnati with Pat Brennan
It may have taken us ten shows into season seven to get our first guest on the Wrong Side of the Pond podcast, but in our opinion, it was mostly well worth the wait. That guest? Pat Brennan (@PBrennanENQ), The Cincinnati Enquirer’s beat writer covering the local soccer scene, joins us to earn his second […]
#Pondcast: Are the Foxes real (again)?
Like the sly animal for which their nickname derives, Leicester City have sneakily put together another strong start to a Premier League campaign. We focused on how the Foxes have managed to yet again pick off opposition sides with attractive football away from the bright lights of the supposed big six. In addition to the […]
#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. This time around, it stung both D.J.’s Spurs and Jeremy’s Chelsea — and unsurprisingly, we spent some to chatting about the merits of the system once again. The rest of […]
#Pondcast: Falling behind
After an international break-inspired break, the WSOTP Podcast is back and ready to distribute some white-hot soccer content to your device and into your ears. And with the return of European club soccer and the impending commencement of the 2019 MLS regular season. In England, we examine the widening gaps within the table. As for […]
#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 […]
