This past weekend had it all: an Arsenal-United smackdown, a five-goal masterclass from Sergio Agüero, yet another Chelsea trip up, one manager quitting despite a positive result, and another manager losing his job after a somewhat positive result. Oh yeah, and there was USA-Mexico roster release that’s inspiring loads of questions of yet another manager, and […]

WSOTP pod: we might end this shirtless
Trust us when we say that while D.J. was excited that his Spurs knocked off mighty Manchester City at the weekend — and that we made time to fully analyze City’s sudden drop in form and Spurs’ improvements — but this past week’s world of soccer events just seemed so run of the mill. There […]
WSOTP pod: the drama club
Welcome to the point in the yearly soccer calendar when there is literally too much going on to pay attention. The domestic regular seasons are winding to a close and the playoffs soon to begin. Across the pond, the European leagues are now old enough to have developed narratives and full-fledged drama. Just in case you […]
ten words or less #112
Suffice to say, it’s been a crazy week here in Cincinnati. The launch of a new USL franchise — which we helped to break — and the arrival of an American soccer legend — also something we told you about first — has made for a very interesting week here on the banks of the […]
the WSOTP fantasy premier league is back… again
There are some of you out there who have been very eager to learn if Wrong Side of the Pond will once again be hosting a Fantasy Premier League competition again for the 2015/2015 season. Why people are so eager to know if we’ll form a league again, I can only speculate. Maybe it’s because you feel like […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 40
Congratulations listeners: you’ve survived another season of the WSOTP Podcast! With the conclusion of the Premier League season this past weekend, this week’s episode will serve as the “finale” of Season 2 of the #Pondcast. Though worry not, we’ll be back sporadically throughout the summer to provide updates on the Champions League, Women’s World Cup, MLS and who […]
pic of the week 3/16-3/22
There were probably a dozen images that could have earned this week’s Pic of the Week plaudits, and about half of them came directly from the Liverpool-Manchester United derby that took place yesterday morning. And I’ll be honest, Gerrard seeing red just 37 seconds after stepping on the pitch was a really hard candidate to turn down. But […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 28
The third “WSOTP Podcast Derby”of the season took place on Sunday, and this time a trophy was on the line between D.J.’s Tottenham and Jeremy’s Chelsea in the Capital One Cup Final. So you can expect that to feature prominently on this week’s Pondcast, alongside the shuffle in and around the Champions League spots that took place […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 27
Back in one location after last week’s remote episode, the latest episode of the Pondcast is a very Euro-centric episode. A dramatic weekend unfolded in the Premier League, at least as far as the refereeing went. There was jostling in the European places and relegation zone that needed to be discussed too, along with the (hilarious) return […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 25
There was no shortage of tantalizing soccer to enjoy this weekend — both the men’s and women’s national team’s friendlies, the African Nations Cup Final, plus a full round of Premier League action — and the Pondcast team took it all in. The last of those included a pair of derbies, with the second editions of the […]
