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.

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 Don, 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.

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.

In episode 12, Matt and Nick look to build on their respective impressive performances in FPL by making some minor adjustments to their teams.

Matt is thinking of reinvesting the money from the sale of Mo Salah towards a, hopefully, more prolific striker and Nick is pondering what to do with the under performing Phil Foden in his midfield.

Speaking of strikers, Matt could be tempted to sign another famous "Nick" in Nick Woltemade, or should he get Crystal Palace's in form Jean Phillips Mateta? Nick Homer, on the other hand, is ruing his signing of João Pedro and Viktor Gyökeres who, despite their early hype, are still yet to take the 25/26 season by storm.

With the men's international break coming to an end and the women's just beginning, the brothers Bridge look ahead to Premier League game week 8 to build on their success and take stock of their FWSL performances after game week 6.

Nick hosts another exciting edition of FPL Bridge Brothers and with Matt wondering where to invest his £4m+ from his sale of Mo Salah, it's just some minor tweaks for the younger sibling whose FPL season is going from strength to strength. Matt tries his best to find out his secrets, but Nick is keeping his new routine to himself, but still sharing his advice and experience to benefit the listeners.

There's also the usual tangental chat as the lads talk about rumours of Sean Dyche taking over at Nottingham Forest and dream scenarios of the former Burnley man being in charge of Real Madrid. Now that would be something!

We also have plenty of WSL chat with Matt and Nick talking about the rise of Tottenham under Martin Ho and the rise of London City Lionesses, a game that the chaps will be attending in person at the beginning of next month.

Clips featured in this episode come from our match day experience of the Chelsea V Liverpool Legends match on the 11th of October 2025.

Matt and Nick take to the microphone again this week and recount match day experiences after seeing Chelsea V Liverpool Legends at Stamford Bridge.

After basking in a nostalgia fest which saw them see the likes of Petr Cech, John Terry, Joe Cole, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa take on Liverpool's Pepe Reina, Ryan Babel, Jay Spearing and Martin Skrtel; the lads ask the question: "why do we love a Chelsea legends match?"

Cue a yearning, not just for their youth, but also the glory days when their beloved Blues of the 2010s won Premier Leagues, FA Cups a Champions League and, not to mention, a league cup thrown in for good measure.

After wiping away their rose tinted tears, the brothers compare this golden era with the early days of the current squad and just hope that they emulate their now retired heroes.

You'll be pleased to hear listeners that the match day clips are back and features tributes to Diego Jota, Joey Jones and Matt Beard.

The FWSL deadline is: Sunday the 12th of October at 11:00 (apologies, we said it was the day before in the show!)

It's episode 10 and there's something slightly different about this week's FPL Bridge Brothers as Nick takes the reigns as the show's host.

The younger of the siblings' mood is especially good with his side getting 92 points in game week 7, with Matt trailing behind with a credible 76 (albeit that doesn't include his -4 points for an extra transfer).

With the chaps's team doing pretty well, the next steps are all about kicking on Nick considers bolstering his strength in depth and Matt is all about upgrading his strike force.

There's also FWSL chat with the lads recounting their progress and looking to take advantage of the men's international break as they get to grips with this new Fantasy challenge.

We finish the show by paying tribute to the new over 70s World Cup Champions Wales who beat the USA 2-0 in the final and, in doing so, retained their title. Now what other football podcast brings you that kind of football news?

After a week which saw the Chelsea men's side beat Jose Mourinho's Benfica, followed by a much needed victory at home to Liverpool, the Bridge Brothers are suddenly feeling more optimistic about their team's prospects this season.

Against Chelsea's underwhelming results the previous week, the inconsistency of the Blues' form does lead Matt and Nick to ask...

What Can Chelsea Realistically Achieve This Season?
