If you’re reading this intro or listening to this podcast, congratulations… you survived 2016. Many of you likely made it through the chaotic final few weeks of the year by bunkering down and gorging on a seemingly endless run of Premier League fixtures. And a good thing too, seeing how the Premier League normally delivers […]

#Pondcast: The Breakup
Perhaps for the first time in the history of the #Pondcast, big soccer news actually broke yesterday before we recorded the episode. So we shuffled our plans to make plenty of room to talk about Jurgen Klinsmann being relieved of his duties as US Men’s National Team Manager and Technical Director, as well as who […]
#Pondcast: Back on/off the tracks
A smile was permanently plastered to Jeremy’s face as we recorded this week’s #Pondcast, and not just because his Chicago Cubs are in the World Series. With Chelsea’s massive triumph over Mourinho’s United — and a flurry of other top 4 draws — he had plenty to smile about. The guys spend time recapping this past […]
#Pondcast: Another Big Match Letdown
Delayed a day because I fell asleep while the file was uploadin — hashtag dadlife — your latest episode of the #Pondcast is now finally ready for audio consumption. This week, we (mostly) skip over the dud that was Liverpool-United before digging into City-Everton, Bob Bradley’s first game in charge at Swansea and West Brom-Spurs before rounding […]
#Pondcast: Diego Costa’s Placenta Stash
Things are very hot in cold in the #Pondcast studios again this season, and not just because of the Presidential elections. Jeremy’s Chelsea has him enveloped in sadness for the second straight season, while D.J. rides a wave of joy as his Spurs continue to produce uncharacteristic results — both of which are discussed on this week’s […]
#Pondcast: Jose’s Reds Feeling Blue
Liverpool are on a high, Manchester United on a low, and the rest of the Premier League sides are somewhere in between. At least that’s how the guys described things on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast. Also on tap this week is a look back at the first round of Champions League fixtures, a rundown of […]
#Pondcast: you’ll never believe the three at the top
Despite nearly 30 hours of driving over the course of three days, D.J. made it back in time from another soccer excursion to record this week’s episode of the WSOTP Podcast — likely due to unhealthy amount of Red Bull. So what did the guys cover once he finally pulled back into Ohio? The guys […]
#Pondcast: it just smells like the premier league
The Premier League 16/17 season kicked off this past weekend, but the guys from WSOTP are already in midseason form for Season 4 Episode 2! This week, they take a look back at a wild opening affair between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates, ponder what a 1-1 draw between Everton and Spurs means, gawk at Leicester’s […]
#Pondcast: we’re back whether you wanted us or not
Though it’s literally been just a few weeks since the last episode of Season 3, with the Premier League 2016/17 campaign kicking of in just a few days’ time, it’s time for the return of the #Pondcast for Season 4! As has been customary over the last three years, D.J. & Jeremy delve into their annual Premier League season […]
musical chairs
If someone asks one to think of soccer, most people will envision the actual acts of players running about a field and kicking around of a ball. Some, too, might envisage the electric atmospheres that supporters often bring to games. But I’d wager few immediately visualize the managers standing on the touchlines when you ask them to think about the […]
