Even though child-born illness kept D.J. and Jeremy physically apart this week, the guys gathered together digitally to bring you this week’s show. To make up for that, they stuffed in not only a small review of the last two Premier League matchdays, an in-depth look at the VAR controversy in the hotly contested Hell […]

#Pondcast: Topsy turvy
This Premier League season we’re currently all experiencing is certainly giving us some sort of ride. Just last week, we were discussing Manchester United hitting their lowest point in decades. This week? They’ve bowled over a flagging Liverpool. Meanwhile, Leeds dolled out an absolute spanking to Chelsea. West Ham, last year’s surprise outfit, are still […]
#Pondcast: What’s in a handshake
After missing out on reviewing the first week of the season due to a travel-related off-week, D.J. and Jeremy are back for week two. And what a dramatic week it was! Not only did the guys chat about the touchline theatrics exchanged between Spurs’ Antonio Conte and Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel — and the sub-par refereeing […]
#Pondcast: Ten years is a long time
We’re back baby! Summer break is now officially over as D.J. and Jeremy return for the first episode of the TENTH season of the WSOTP Pondcast. And just as they have for the last nine years, the guys kick things off with their annual Premier League season preview where they detail their often foolish picks […]
#Pondcast: Oops I did it again
Yes, D.J. forgot to publish the podcast again. But that kinda works out this time, given it’s an international break and the guys are taking their normal two-week sabbatical anyway. So just think of this as fresh content in what would have otherwise been an off week! So on this week’s show, the guys talked […]
#Pondcast: The emperor has no clothes
Another manager has had to face Gary’s mythical guillotine at FC Cincinnati, as former great Jaap Stam was dismissed after the team’s dismal display of form since his appointment in May of 2020. And on this week’s show, D.J. and Jeremy assess where Stam stands in FCC’s pantheon of coaches while pointing blame at the […]
#Pondcast: Who is better than Chelsea?
We said there would be a quick turnaround in-between episodes, and we delivered. The guys reconvened to catch back up with all the most-recent happenings in the English top-flight, including a close look at whether Chelsea are truly the best side in the Premier League. Domestically, the guys decided to chew on the newly expanded […]
#Pondcast: Blame it on Norm
In case you missed it, comedic legend Norm Macdonald passed away last week. Sure, that has nothing to do with soccer. But let’s blame the tardi nature of this week’s episode on the grief the guys experienced after the SNL star’s passing. And while that’s not really the reason why, Norm did get a mention […]
#Pondcast: Kits and Hammers
Thanks to the rise of the dreaded coraonavirus — this time inside the Lance household — this week’s episode goes back to a virtual setting. But the guys were still able to hold their annual review of Premier League kits from a distance — offering up their top picks and most likely to be binned […]
#Pondcast: Who needs a Harry
Scheduling conflicts meant D.J. and Jeremy couldn’t convene for this week’s #Pondcast until Thursday, so the guys did their best to compress their thoughts on a fabulous opening weekend of Premier League fixtures into an easily digestible show ahead of the second weekend of action. We reflected on the question of “who actually needs a […]
