The regular season domestic calendar opened up this past weekend here in the United States. And while the new MLS season always inspires excitement, this year, it seemed like a bigger deal than normal. That might have had something to do with two expansion teams kicking their first ball in the American/Canadian top flight, […]

#Pondcast: We Didn’t Win Best Picture Either
With a Sunday night recording nixing our ability to talk about a Ranieri-less Leicester resurrect themselves in glorious fashion against a deflated Liverpool side, we’re presuming that’s how the Academy botched our chances of ending the evening with silverware just like La La Land. Presuming a podcast could even be nominated for a film award. Instead, we talked […]
#Pondcast: The Cup Runneth Over
Though we were all made to suffer through a weekend without the likes of Premier League football to entertain us, the FA Cup and its magic did a fine job standing in. Fifth tier minnows like Lincoln City and Sutton United attracted scores of attention to the world’s oldest knockout cup competition, including our own. […]
#Pondcast: This is Our Valentine to You
Even though this week’s #Pondcast is our Valentine’s Day gift to you, we don’t suggest trying to pass it off as a gift for your loved one: our wives didn’t find it a suitable gift, so your significant other probably won’t either. Probably anyway. But if they would find it a respectable gift, once unwrapped they’d find […]
#Pondcast: Contenders and Pretenders
two rounds of fixtures in the Premier League since our last show, order at the summit of the table seems to have started to fall into shape. And on this #Pondcast, the guys delve into whether Chelsea have already wrapped up the title, whether Spurs are the real deal, and whether Arsenal have seen this […]
#Pondcast: An Unlikely Derby
Though in year’s past we’ve been known to skip over FA Cup weekends and give ourselves a little #Pondcast break, that’s not the case in 2017. That’s especially true when two teams that guys support square up against one another in the tournament, as was the case when D.J.’s Spurs hosted Jeremy’s minnows in Wycombe Wanderers. […]
#Pondcast: These Are Alternative Facts
Cold winters be damned, the world of soccer remains hot, hot, hot… at least that’s the way we saw it. A tumultuous weekend in the top seven of the Premier League for all but one team unfolded in England, giving D.J. and Jeremy plenty to discuss. The American preseason engine is also now warming up, […]
#Pondcast: 150 Snuck Up on Us
While our 100th episode was one we celebrated with much fanfare — a special guest and things like advance planning — the 150th episode didn’t quite get the same treatment. In fact, it snuck up on us so much it wasn’t until after we finished recording this week’s episode. Luckily, there were fireworks in the Premier League […]
#Pondcast: What is a “Division Two”?
The first two #Pondcast episodes of each year are a bit like feast and famine. The first episode is spent trying to cram upwards of five rounds of matches into one show, while the second show is left with just one round of FA Cup fixtures to chat about. Luckily, domestic matters picked up the slack in 2017 […]
#Pondcast: Wading through the holiday pileup
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 […]
