  • Knowledgeable Trolls and Boxing Day Blues
    2025/12/12

    It's episode 16 and Matt and Nick begin by sharing their war stories of FPL game weeks 14 and 15.


    With Nick absolutely smashing it once again, Matt is left to wonder what could have been as his triple captain chip came to nothing.


    There's transfer chat as the lads talk about how to use their 5 new transfers courtesy of the African Cup of Nations, (spoiler: Nick has already used most of his), and Matt emphasises why he will never make any more transfers on Boxing Day.


    With a double game week in the WSL, Matt and Nick also talk about their plans for Aerial Fantasy as brothers continue their apprenticeship in the Women's Super League.

  • How Should Clubs Manage Their Iconic Players?
    2025/12/12

    We open the show with Nick talking about the AFC Croydon Christmas party, the club's recent victory over East Grinstead and how, as a new Rams Ultra, he is creating new chants at the Mayfield Stadium!


    The lads then turn their attention to the end of Chelsea Women's 585 day unbeaten streak with a 1-0 defeat to Everton. As Nick says, "Chelsea didn't have the teeth for the Toffees." However, like Blues Legend Lucy Bronze, Matt and Nick are philosophical about the loss as, amongst other things, it shows that the Women's Super League is becoming more competitive.


    We then come to our question of the week which, in the aftermath of Mo Salah's media outburst after Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, we ask...


    "how should clubs manage their iconic players once they are no longer automatic picks in the starting 11?"

  • All About the Chips.
    2025/11/28

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


    Looking ahead, the Brothers feel that their teams could do with a bit of spark and feel its team to play some chips. Matt is about Triple Captaining Haaland, whereas Nick is tempted by the free-hit.


    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.


    With there not having been a show last week, the lads also talk about how their Fantasy WSL teams are faring ahead of the league taking a break for the upcoming international fixtures.

  • Were Kit Sponsors in the 90s Better?
    2025/11/27

    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?
    2025/11/09


    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!
    2025/11/06

    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!
    2025/10/31

    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.
