Episodes

Setting Sail with Homer's Podyssey 09.10.2025

We interrupt your Bridge Brothers podcast experience to let you know about a new podcast from the older of the two siblings, Matt Homer. In this short trailer Matt provides an introduction to Homer's Podyssey: Conversations on Purpose, a show which will feature interviews from individuals including producers, music artists, writers, researchers and activists; and that's just for starters! The beau...

Matt Pays Big for Benching Bee's Thiago 02.10.2025

In a highly animated show, Matt tries to avoid the subject of his catastrohic team selection which saw him bench a 23 points which would have seen him achieve a very tidy 82 points in game week 6. Cue a rant that event Mark Kermode would be proud of, as the older of the two siblings laments his luck and tactics as his Nick continues to fly up the FPL rankings. Riding on a tide of green arrows, Nic...

Where Do Chelsea and Maresca Go From Here? 30.09.2025

Nick starts the episode by recounting his match day experience seeing AFC Croydon return to the Mayfield Stadium to take on Jersey Bulls. Alas the Rams went down 3-2 to the Bulls, but there is much to be hopeful about, especially with the positive changes that have been made to Croydon's home ground. The lads are less buoyant about the Chelsea men's side who, again, were embarrassed by Brighton. B...

Will it be Mo Salah or No Salah for Game Week 6? 25.09.2025

It's FPL Bridge brothers with Matt and "wee" Nick, (you'll get the reference from our slightly shambolic intro). Speaking of Nick, his FPL team picks up where it left off last season as he overtakes Matt's side quite emphatically. With a spring in his step, the younger sibling analyses where it all went right for his team in game week 5, but for Matt it's all change as he looks to belatedly play h...

Are Chelsea Handling Their Fringe Players the Right Way? 24.09.2025

Nick starts the pod by talking about his trip to The Hybrid Fitness stadium in Merstham to see AFC Croydon V Crowborough. It was another win for the Rams and a game that saw Nick join the AFC Croydon Ultras. It was only a matter of time. The conversation then turns to the Chelsea men's side and their 2-1 defeat away to Manchester United. After bemoaning Sanchez's red card, Matt and Nick tackle thi...

The Wheels Have Fallen Off 18.09.2025

In our eighth episode, Matt laments terrible game weeks in Fantasy Premier League and WSL as his team crashes through the leagues in a hail of red arrows. All the world is green for Nick though as his recent wildcard rejuvenates his charges and means its game on when it comes to this Fantasy Football sibling rivalry. With Tom Jones related tangents and Crystal Palace inspired swipes at Forest owne...

Can Chelsea Compete Without Levi Colwill and Liam Delap? 17.09.2025

Matt and Nick begin this edition by talking about AFC Croydon's valiant effort as they exited the FA Cup at the second qualifying road stage against the real AFC Richmond, Hampton and Richmond Borough. There's also chat about Lucas Radebe and the Kaizer Chiefs as well as the return of Sam Kerr to the Chelsea women's squad. When it comes to the men's senior Chelsea team, the brothers ask the purpos...

Double Fantasy 10.09.2025

To reference the title of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono album, this is a "Double Fantasy" album as Matt and Nick not only talk their plans for Fantasy Premier League, but they also discuss what they are going to do with their new Fantasy WSL teams. When it comes to FPL, Nick wonders whether Liverpool's signing of Alexander Isak means that Ekiteke is bench bound, or if Red's new record signing will...

What Can The Three Lions Learn from the Lionesses? 09.09.2025

With the England men's senior side competing in World Cup Qualifiers in the same week that the Women's Super League starts for the 25/26 season, Matt is inspired to ask the following question... What can Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions learn from Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses? While the debate mainly centres around the domination of the Premier League at the expense of the men's England team, the lads al...

FPL Bridge Brothers: Nick Plays His Wildcard 04.09.2025

After beginning the episode with some tips when it comes to watching Match of the Day, the lads get stuck into analysing their game week 3 performances. While it wasn't his preferred option, Nick's decision to play his wildcard sees him get the better of his bro with a very credible 67 points to Matt's 63. With an upcoming international break, there's a bit more time to prepare for game week 4. Ni...

The Bridge Brothers Podcast: Is There Still a Place for VAR in Football? 03.09.2025

Matt and Nick begin this week's episode by giving kudos to AFC Croydon who beat Sittingbourne FC in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup. There's also talk about the Transfer Window with the lads mulling over, amongst others, the proposed moves of Tyrique George to Fulham from Chelsea. Although the chaps thought it was a done deal, it did not go through just like Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi to...

FPL Bridge Brothers: Reflections and Wildcards 29.08.2025

With Matt returning from International Beatles Week in Liverpool and Nick coming back from Portsmouth's Victorious Festival, we just have the one show this week. However, in this edition of FPL Bridge Brothers, the lads review where things went wrong in game week 2, acknowledge the moments where their tactics worked well and make plans ahead of the upcoming Premier League fixtures this Saturday. W...

FPL Bridge Brothers: Analysis and Next Steps 20.08.2025

With the dust nearly settled from game week one, Matt and Nick compare the performances of their respective teams with the older of the two siblings drawing first blood with an impressive score of 73. However, with Matt looking to patch up his defence after Villa defender Konsa's red card, there's still plenty of opportunities for Nick to get his revenge in game week 2. There's praise for Sunderla...

The Bridge Brothers Podcast: Does it still pay to be loyal in football? 19.08.2025

Matt and Nick open the show by discussing AFC Croydon's progression in the FA Cup at the expense of resilient Tooting and Mitcham. Alongside recounting the Rams' victory against the Terrors, Nick also talks about his trip to see the "Boys from the Crem" take on Merstham FC . The lads then go all Premier League as Nick recounts his trip to Chelsea FC for the Stamford Bridge Stadium Tour as well his...

FPL Bridge Brothers: The Premier League Returns 13.08.2025

Matt and Nick reconvene to discuss their teams ahead of game week one in the Premier League. From goal-keepers to their forward lines, the lads go through their squads as their FPL rivalry resumes. Will Matt regret selecting Martin Dúbravka? Will Lewis-Skelley come good for Nick and does Granit Xhaka look like Super-Man? Give us a listen to find out more. One slight correction is that Matt did men...

The Bridge Brothers Podcast: Can You Support More Than One Club? 13.08.2025

The Bridge Brothers begin this episode by discussing the fall-out from Crystal Palace's unsuccessful appeal to be reinstated into the UEFA Europa League. Needless to say, as a Croydon resident, Nick isn't happy with the outcome. Discussions of local sides and the question of multi-club ownership also prompts the lads to discuss the question: "can you support more than one football club?" This is a...

FPL Bridge Brothers: Selection Headaches 07.08.2025

In the first episode of FPL Bridge Brothers, the lads talk through their early efforts at assembling their squads with Matt going for the big names and Nick taking a, slightly more nuanced approach. Some of Matt's inspiration comes from the 59th Minute Pod as well as FPL Denis, whereas Nick is putting his together based on his efforts to follow the pre-season friendlies. The ending gets a bit live...

The Bridge Brothers Podcast: Pre-season Friendly 07.08.2025

Matt and Nick cover a range of subjects in this first episode of The Bridge Brothers Podcast. The lads begin with more discussion about the Lionesses Euro 2025 success with Chelsea's Hannah Hampton and Arsenal's Chloe Kelly being lined up for recognition in the New Years' Honours list. They then turn to AFC Croydon's progress in the FA Cup and talk about the prospects of the Rams defeating their n...

Ringing the Changes 02.08.2025

We're going through changes at FPL Pod VS Tok. Not only do Matt and Nick have a run at the new rules in Fantasy Premier League ahead of the 25/26 season, but they also inform the listeners of significant alterations that will be happening to this very pod. Before all that though, the lads talk about their trip to see AFC Wimbledon take on Millwall and, more importantly, the doff their caps to Sari...

Matt and Nick Talk Transfers 19.07.2025

The brothers begin this 40th edition of FPL Pod VS Tok with some general football discussion which takes in England's demolition of Wales in the Women's Euro, (helped by the Chelsea legends in Hannah Hampton and Lucy Bronze), Chelsea's World Club Cup victory against the previously dominant Paris Saint Germain and the fall out from Crystal Palace's demotion from the UEFA Europa League to the Confer...

Should We Care About the Club World Cup? 02.07.2025

With the Premier League on it's annual summer break, Matt and Nick ask the question "should we care about the Club World Cup?" Perhaps unsurprisingly, the lads air their concerns about player welfare, how the tournament is funded and whether it is a tournament that football fans actually want. This conversation was inspired by one of Matt's exchanges on Instagram so, listeners, you can contact us...

It's the FPL Pod Vs Tok End of Season Awards! 12.06.2025

Matt and Nick return to host the first ever FPL Pod VS Tok Awards. Who will win the coveted Darren Huckerby trophy for surprise player of the season, alongside the many other honours bestowed upon the Premier League players who have featured in our FPL teams this campaign? And who will take away the less appealing title of "flop of the season"? Listen in to find out. The lads also reflect on what...

Wembley Win for Wombles Against Walsall! 30.05.2025

Whilst this episode sees the brothers talk about their performances in Premier League game week 38, it is the League Two play-off final featuring AFC Wimbledon VS Walsall which takes most of their attention in the opening few minutes of the pod. Despite experiencing some frustrating matches at the Cherry Red this season, Matt, Nick and Dad were there when the Wombles went out at Wembley and put a...

Treble Success for Bompastor's Blues 23.05.2025

This is a bumper episode where the lads relive what was an incredible day for Chelsea fans as the Blues beat Manchester United 3-0 to win the Women's FA Cup. Alongside Chelsea's silverware success and general dominance in England, Matt and Nick give nods to the Blues' men's side who also beat Manchester United to keep their Champions League dream alive. There is kudos too for, the other Croydon te...
