Not that this is a groundbreaking thought or anything, but most individual awards in the world of sport are one hundred percent subjective. Soccer is particularly guilty of this when awarding prizes like league MVP’s, goalkeepr of the year awards, or the yearly handing out of the FIFA Balon d’Or. It’s not always the case, but often […]

WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 13
Despite it being a mostly “meh” weekend in the Premier League, there were a few storylines worthy of discussion on Episode 13 of the Pondcast. City, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal have all seen their form continue to slide, while Chelsea, Southampton and Newcastle have seen their stock continue to rise. The midweek Champions League action also merited similar […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 12
I feel like it’s getting a bit redundant when I say there was a lot for us to talk about this week on the Pondcast — a new nickname for the podcast that we’re adopting thanks to clever /r/soccer user TommyShambles — but once again it was true. Even though the Premier League featured a bunch of […]
WSOTP pod: episode 39
Well, this first season of the Wrong Side of the Pond podcast has been one crazy ride. So on this week’s episode, we look back at our very first predictions at the beginning of the season, and take a team-by-team look at how every club in the Premier League fared this year. We also found time to […]
WSOTP pod: episode 38
While there’s a strong desire to call this latest episode of the podcast the “Cinco de Mayo Special”, Jeremy would probably prefer we call it the “Nose Picking Special” thanks to this hysterical fan shot from this weekend’s action. But there was way more than nose-picking to talk about this week. For instance, an all-Madrid Champions League […]
WSOTP pod: episode 7
WSOTP Pod: Season 1 Episode 7 The number seven is normally a lucky number, but for whatever reason, Episode 7 of the WSOTP Podcast was anything but lucky. Instead, I was on fire with blurting out what were actually non-factual facts. I guess I’m not entirely out of luck though, as my partner in crime […]
ten words or less #42
It’s happy times at wrong side of the pond these days. Spurs are still sitting in a lofty position in the table at fairly advanced stage of the season, even despite dropping points on a cold wet night in Stoke. Speaking of cold nights, I’m also looking forward to the winter weather that’s finally descending upon […]
ten words or less #20
it’s time for another international break and i’m already bored of it. not even marquee match ups like england-wales, usa-argentina, nor cyprus-iceland have tickled my fancy. so in an effort to help you find something interesting to read while redknapp and speed argue over who hurt bale first, here read these: someone please explain to me how […]
round up #23
now that the transfer window has (quietly) closed and the theatrics of the world cup are slowly fading into the background, i feel like we can finally focus on what really matters: the football. but, let’s be honest.. i love the fluff that comes with it. and here’s the best i’ve come across on the […]
revisiting “boarding passes, please”
way back in january, i wrote the longest blog post i’ve ever written outlining who i thought bob bradley would be taking to south africa this summer. i’ve been anxiously awaiting the day bob would finally announce his 23-man roster, just to see how well i would do predicting bob’s simple mind. that day has […]
