It was #1 vs #2 in a cataclysmic inner-city derby in Manchester this past weekend, with practically nothing hanging on the balance of the result — well, that’s if you ignore one side getting to lift an all-but-hoisted trophy at the end of regulation had they won. But what transpired was still highly enjoyable, an […]

#Pondcast: Cupdate
Cups in England, Cups in Europe, Cups on this side of the pond too — well, not yet for the last one anyway. And on this week’s show, the guys spent considerable time reviewing last week’s action in both England’s FA Cup and UEFA’s European Cup Champions League. And believe it or not, we also […]
#Pondcast: Mou and the Missus
As we enter the home stretch of the European football season and begin to dip our toes into the domesteic game here in the States, there’s almost more football on than one can consume — including ones that record soccer podcasts. Nevertheless, with EPL, UCL and MLS, and USL preview to cover, this week also […]
#Pondcast: Listen for Terrible Predictions
Every year, D.J. and Jeremy make predictions about the upcoming soccer seasons. And every year, those predictions tend to be pretty far off base. Lucky you, this week’s #Pondcast features the predictions of that nature once again for the upcoming Major League Soccer season which kicks off this weekend. We advise bookmarking this week’s show so you can […]
#Pondcast: A Derby for Everyone
A wild weekend of Premier League action dominates this week’s show, with two massive rivalry matches headlining play as the North of England’s two biggest cities drew lines in the sand and chose sides. And while Manchester might be blue at the moment, Liverpool was left an uncomfortable shade of purple — at least if […]
#Pondcast: We Drove 18 Hours for This
Though last week was enveloped by a major national holiday, the rest of the soccer world ticked on. So despite D.J. and Jeremy driving a combined 18 hours on Sunday — the day we hit the studio each week — a new #Pondcast awaits. Forgive us any gaffes that might result from road-weary minds. On deck: a […]
#Pondcast: It’s Been Mayhem
Against all logic, the crazy world of soccer somehow managed to get a little crazier since our last show. And none of that had to do with the weekend of Premier League action, which itself was a little crazy. We took our normal walkthrough of our the English top-tier — and some momentary dalliances into some […]
#Pondcast: Bye Bye Bruce
Given the chaos in American soccer over the last week, a return to the Premier League offered at least a partial distraction for the guys going into this week’s show. And though 40% of last weekend’s actions ended in drab draws — hello, Liverpool-United — the remaining six results packed plenty of drama: Palace’s surprising […]
#Pondcast: Pep-mate
This past weekend, the schedule making gods bestowed upon us to the Tyson-Holyfield of the current Premier League era: Chelsea vs Manchester City. Guided by two tacticians, we were treated to 90 minutes of footballing goodness — and ultimately, Jeremy Lance sorrow. After making him relive the experience to kick things off on this week’s […]
#Pondcast: Manchester on Fire
The scourge that is the international break has come to an end, and this past week we were treated to a full smattering of club football. And on this week’s show, we tried to cram as much of it in as we could manage. The Premier League’s current domination from the Manchester clubs gets a […]
