    Nov 28 2025

    Matt and Nick begin the show talking about their respective game weeks which were steady, but could have been better.

    There's also AFCON chat as Matt and Nick consider how they should shape their teams ahead of the African Cup of Nations in December.

  • Were Kit Sponsors in the 90s Better?
    Nov 27 2025

    The Bridge Brothers are back and begin the show discussing AFC Croydon's 3-1 win over Hassocks FC followed by their visit to Stamford Bridge to watch the 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Barcelona in the Women's Champions League. This episode also contains highlights of that match.


    Matt and Nick use the second half of this episode to answer the question: Were Premier League kit sponsors in the 90s better than they are now?


    This was inspired by Matt's time at a 90s themed birthday party and sees the lads discuss the likes of Chelsea's partnerships with Coors and Autoglass, Liverpool with Carlsberg, Arsenal with JVC, Aston Villa with Muller and much more besides.

  • How Do Fans Make a Difference to Their Football Teams?
    Nov 9 2025


    After seeing Chelsea V London City Lionesses as part of Nick's birthday celebrations, the lads reflect on their positive match day experience and how this was massively enhanced by the great vibes courtesy of Chelsea Super Fan Basil Goode.


    This inspires the brothers to answer this week's question which is: "How can and do fans make a difference to their football teams?"


    We talk Chelsea, of course, Wimbledon, Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth. There is also some tangental spider chat along as the podcast is interrupted by an eight-legged visitor.


    In what is a somewhat surprising turn for The Bridge Brothers podcast, Nick pays tribute to Nottingham Forest owner who has offered to pay for the medical bills of the victims of the Huntingdon train stabbing. Marinakis has also offered Forest fan Stephen Creen a free season ticket for his heroic efforts in defending the passengers during the horrific attack.

  • Back with a Bang!
    Nov 6 2025

    There's significant improvement for the Bridge Brothers' teams in game week 10, even if Matt does continue to leave loads of points on his bench.


    With birthday boy Nick flying high there are little, if any changes needed for his FPL Team. However, Matt has a Reijnders shaped problem. Will it be Saka for Rice, then a Reijnders upgrade, or should Matt go with Nick's tip of bringing in Sessegnon as a like for like replacement? Guess we will wait and see.


    The lads continue to serve their apprenticeships when playing Fantasy WSL and there was double the excitement this week as Matt and Nick were willing their Chelsea assets along in person as they went to Stamford Bridge to see the Chelsea Women's Team take on London City Lionesses.

  • The Bridge Brothers Have An FPL Horror Show!
    Oct 31 2025

    After a horrific game week 9, The Bridge Brothers try and dust themselves off and go ahead for game week 10.


    The lads recount the terrors of the last game week with Matt paying for not using his bench boost, (Van de Venn's 23 points didn't look so nice sitting on his bench), and Nick didn't make the changes he intended and which would have kept the green arrows flying high. Hopefully there won't be any more own ghouls, I mean, goals from the brothers going forward.


    The WSL also returns this Halloween weekend with Matt and Nick going to Stamford Bridge to see the mighty Chelsea take on London City Lionesses. Check the next episode for clips of our match day experience.

  • Why Do We Keep Coming Back For More?
    Oct 30 2025

    In a week that saw Chelsea lose to Sunderland, AFC Croydon defeated by Herne Bay, AFC Wimbledon beaten by Burton Albion and the Lionesses tamed by Brazil; Matt and Nick ask the following question...


    "Why do we keep coming back to watch our teams?"


    Despite the results mentioned above, this question was largely inspired by West Ham's defeat in Yorkshire last week against Leeds with the Hammers fans still following their team through what is looking like a dismal season.


    Our chat not only covers our memories of watching Chelsea, but also our thoughts on AFC Croydon, AFC Wimbledon's Phoenix-like resurrection after Wimbledon FC was sold down the river to become MK Dons, Sheffield Wednesday fans getting their club back and Cardiff's brief transformation from Blue Birds to Red Dragons at the hands of owner Vincent Tan.


    Matt also asks the controversial question as to whether he should switch his MLS allegiances from LA Galaxy to Vancouver Whitecaps. For Nick, it's all about New England Revolution.

  • “Should Premier League Managers generally be Given More Time?”
    Oct 25 2025

    In episode 11 of The Bridge Brothers podcast recorded on Monday the 20th of October, Matt and Nick ask the question: “Should Premier League Managers generally be Given More Time?”


    This question was inspired by Nottingham Forest's sacking of Ange Postecoglou after just 39 games. Ahead of our discussion, Nick mentions the now well known stat that in the time it takes to get from the UK to Australia, Ange could watch all of his games on the flight home as well as all three Crocodile Dundee films.


    Had we not experienced some technical issues with this episode, we could have discussed that statistic ahead of our rivals, but we did also talk about how far Pep Guardiola could travel in space if he watched every Man City game in his 9 year tenure at the club. Let's find a podcast that could do that! Check out this episode for the answer.


    Otherwise, we chat about the troubles at Forest, reflect on Chelsea's own revolving managerial door and also discuss the fact that these coaches are also human beings with professional pride and emotions.
