Though the guys normally take the week off during international breaks, the excitement and buzz surrounding the younglings currently composing the U.S. men’s national team was enough to coax D.J. and Jeremy back to their mics. Not only did we dote on the promising prospects of the group, but we examined areas of the squad […]

#Pondcast: Oh here it is
With no election to blame for the delay in this week’s episode, we’ll just chalk it up to the return of colder temperatures slowing D.J. and Jeremy’s roll. Maybe the return of actual Fall weather can also explain why City-Liverpool ended up being so boring, though we still managed to find a way to explore […]
#Pondcast: An identity
Delayed to due to Election USA 2020, the latest episode of the #Pondcast drops in belated fashion this week as D.J. and Jeremy focused in on Arsenal’s and Arteta’s big win at Old Trafford. Too, we examined Everton’s downturn in form, Spurs getting some help from VAR, and the excitement surrounding the talent-filled first USMNT’s […]
#Pondcast: He said what?
Big news broke just before the show (for once!) when outgoing Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu seemed to indicate that the Blaugrana already had one foot in the proposed European Premier League’s controversial door. As such, deep-dove into the sensitive subject on this week’s show in addition to the normal rundown of the weekend’s Premier League […]
#Pondcast: We’ll call it a draw
Last weekend was a weekend of draws in the Premier League — six in total, to be specific. And among them were three particularly high-profile ones with Everton finally slipping up against Liverpool, and Spurs and Chelsea each throwing away sizable first-half leads. On the stateside portion of the show, we deep-dove into the Support […]
#Pondcast: None of you saw that coming, did you?
Sure, we made you wait a few days to hear us break down last weekend’s Premier League action. But after the wild weekend that transpired in England, we figured it was worth the wait to listen in to our takes on topics such as “Is Erik Lamela terrible?”, “Is getting mashed by Villa bad news […]
#Pondcast: This is what it’s come to
The beautiful game is dead… long live the beautiful game. Okay, it’s not that bad. But after yet another weekend of escalating VAR-induced buffoonery, it was worth exploring the sentiments expressed following Manchester United being given a penatly after the final whistle and Eric Dier’s backward-facing handball on this week’s Pondcast. D.J. and Jeremy also […]
#Pondcast: Peacock Out
The Premier League season steams on and so does the WSOTP Podcast as D.J. and Jeremy virtually reconvene to tackle a matchday two. On tap, the high-key clash between Liverpool and Chelsea, plus Manchester United getting embarrassed by the former prodigal son Zaha, among other things. But more importantly, the guys also took some time […]
#Pondcast: The things we love to hate
The Premier League made it’s triumphant return after a “lengthy” four-week layoff since the end of the pandemic-delayed 2019/20 season, and with that return also comes the return of the things that drive us crazy about the Premier League. For example, continuing to support your favorite side despite remembering that they’re actually terrible, or seeing […]
