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 […]

With a big match on the horizon this weekend in domestic football — you know, the MLS Cup Final — we thought it high time to gather the local readers/supporters together again with another watch party at our favorite local pub, Rhinehaus in Over-the-Rhine. So if you happen to be in Cincinnati this coming Sunday […]
the men in line to be the next in line
With the Premier League season all but complete — our relegation sides now identified and the Champions League clubs now set, only some relatively meaningless shuffling of table places and the naming of a champion yet remain — many supporters’ thoughts have drifted on to question and speculate on their clubs’ summer dealings. How will they […]
a familiar face
You know that feeling you get when you see a former significant other for the first time in a while? All those old feelings of familiarity come rushing back to the surface: memories of the good times, the fun you had together, and the special occasions you got to experience together. But just as quickly […]
the ups and downs of a transition
When Daniel Levy decided back in June that Harry Redknapp era needed to come to an early end and that he should replace him with André Villas-Boas, he was making a calculated decision.

To read it in it’s entirety, please click here or click the link at the end of the post. Labeling Spurs’ close to the season as a disaster — which has involved pissing away a sizable third-place […]
digging deep
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig. – Marcus Aurelius Perpetual gloom and doom hangs over White Hart Lane these days, at least that’s how it has felt the last few weeks. Spurs’ terrible run of form would normally be enough to […]
the stomach punch
It’s been a long few days since the final whistle echoed from Mike Dean’s whistle at the Emirates last Sunday, and yet the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach has yet to subside. As a Tottenham supporter, I feel like the much-hyped North London Derby was a patented Bill Simmons’ “stomach punch” result. […]
