In years past, we would have considered taking a week off from the podcast due to the international break and the relative dearth of soccer to discuss. However, as grizzled fathers of multiple children subjected to a three day Holiday weekend, getting together to drink beer and talk soccer sounded like a necessity. As a […]

#Pondcast: This Is It (For the Fourth Time)
We’ve reached the end. For those hoping the delayed arrival of this episode coupled with the title meant that we would finally be putting the #Pondcast out of its misery, sorry to disappoint you. This is simply it for season four. And honestly, if you’ve listened to us for more than the last year, you’ll know that’s […]
#Pondcast: We’re Both Insufferable
We’re going to start this off by apologizing. If you’re not a fan of either Chelsea or Spurs, there’s a chance you might find both your #Pondcast hosts to be a bit nauseating this week. Jeremy, of course, had Chelsea’s title achievement to boast about and we can forgive him that. But D.J. still found a way to […]
#Pondcast: Broken Hopes and Dreams (for Some)
After two straight weeks with heavily delayed #Pondcast deliveries, we get things back on track this week with the usual Tuesday afternoon posting. So no broken hearts should come on that front — in the footballing world though, the same promises couldn’t be made this past weekend. For example, D.J. grapples with the reality of a “bottled” […]
#Pondcast: Another Pod Derby?
Is the this latest drop of a #Pondcast ever? Quite possibly. Sorry, life — and soccer — got in the way. So what exactly is in this extremely tardy episode? Jeremy and D.J. tackle a fourth “Pondcast Derby” of the season and what effects its outcome will or won’t have on the Premier League run in. We also tackle […]
#Pondcast: Alan Pardew for Mayor
We’ve got a title race on our hands, or at least that’s what Chelsea fan Jeremy spent a portion of this latest #Pondcast trying to convince Spurs fan D.J. The guys not only debated the merits of both those side’s chances, but also took some time to dissect the top four race unfolding below them before dancing through the Champions […]
#Pondcast: Never pet a burning dog
It’s officially spring here in Ohio. That means the weather is currently wildly fluctuating between spells of winter and early summer, most of the country has turned its attention to basketball madness, and those of us in the world of soccer are left to be drowned by a tsunami of soccer. The English Premiership has reached the point […]
#Pondcast: Let’s Cram All the Leagues In
It’s that time of the year where there’s absolutely no shortage of soccer to digest, and this week’s #Pondcast is a reflection of that. No less than five competitions got some serious time in this week’s show, with the FA Cup, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, MLS and LigaMX all getting considerable time on air. The last of those warranted […]
#Pondcast: This is Our Valentine to You
Even though this week’s #Pondcast is our Valentine’s Day gift to you, we don’t suggest trying to pass it off as a gift for your loved one: our wives didn’t find it a suitable gift, so your significant other probably won’t either. Probably anyway. But if they would find it a respectable gift, once unwrapped they’d find […]
#Pondcast: 150 Snuck Up on Us
While our 100th episode was one we celebrated with much fanfare — a special guest and things like advance planning — the 150th episode didn’t quite get the same treatment. In fact, it snuck up on us so much it wasn’t until after we finished recording this week’s episode. Luckily, there were fireworks in the Premier League […]
