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 Conference. A warning to any Forest fans, Nick takes no prisoners in talking about the East Midlands' club role in this particular saga! To be fair, Robbie Williams gets a bit of a pasting as well in our chat about the Club World Cup.

We then move, finally, to all things FPL where Matt and Nick talk about some key transfers who could make their respective teams much more formidable in the season ahead. Notable mentions include Florian Wirtz, Noni Madueke, Djordje Perisic and a host of players signed by the newly crowned Champions of the World, Chelsea.

Thank you listeners and we close the show by paying tribute to one of the Homer family cats, Igor. As Nick says in the show, Iggy was more of a regular at AFC Croydon's Mayfield Stadium than we were and we will miss his love and mischief going forward.

Thank you too Shane, aka Sea of Days, for your beautiful music and we feature extended editions of Darkness and Where Do I Begin?

Matt and Nick finish talking about upcoming changes to the pod but, in the meantime, keep it fun and keep it F.P.L!

See you soon!

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 via the links below if you would like to join the debate.

There are also clips from AFC Croydon's game against Lancing FC at the end of last season, fantastic music from Sea of Days and the brothers also talk about a number of changes that may be happening to the pod ahead of the 25/26 season.

As always, keep it fun and keep it F.P.L and we'll see you again soon!

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 they have learnt over the 24/25 season, especially when it comes to selecting their respective teams based on the advice of content creators from podcast and TikTok platforms respectively. Matt also uses this discussion to celebrate the various opportunities that he, Nick and Dad have had to watch football this season, whether that is at the Mayfield, the Cherry Red, the Imperial, King's Meadow, Stamford Bridge or indeed Wembley Stadium, which we visited in two consecutive weekends.

With Matt and Nick not attending a game recently, we give the floor to Sea of Days with extended clips of Darkness and Where Do I Begin? Our awards show music also comes from Anastasia Chubarova.

The podcast opens with a discussion about Chelsea, Tottenham and Paris Saint Germain's success in Europe, as well as concerns over Crystal Palace's appearance in next seasons's Europa League. We close with a tribute to the Premier League legend that is referee Uriah Rennie who sadly passed away recently at the age of 65.

We may not be putting out podcasts quite as regularly over the summer, but we will be keeping up on the socials and it would be amazing to interact with you via the following platforms.

Bye for now!
