Transfer Deadline Day is upon us, and if you’re anything like #Pondcast hosts D.J. & Jeremy, it’s kind of like Christmas in September. The twice annual tradition gives us many stories to track, crushed hearts to point and laugh at, and angry tweets to direct towards our favorite clubs. And with it being such an important event in […]

WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 33
Another full plate of football talk awaits you on the latest episode of the #Pondcast. The bottom and top of the Premier League were awash with interesting results, punctuated by a series of amazing goals. Major League Soccer’s early season might be proving inconsistent, but it’s also yielded some really interesting stories. And the tail end of […]

Summer has arrived with a vengeance in Southwest Ohio. Sweltering temperatures normally reserved for August have plagued those of us living in the humid Ohio/Miami Valley region, causing us to suffocate on the air so thick and heavy that Cristiano would trip over it. Researching for the blog has been a welcome excuse for me […]

wrong side XI
A fellow fan of the beautiful game and I had a colorful discussion today regarding who we both considered to currently be the best left back in the world. The two of us argued the merits and flaws of this player and that for longer than what our manager at work would have liked, yet […]
