Back to The Solace of Sport

We're at episode 23 and the show starts with Nick talking about his latest visit to the Mayfield Stadium to see AFC Croydon take on Eastbourne Town. And, finally, the lads have got their replica Rams shirts! See episode for more details. Matt and Nick finally talk FPL and, as ever, Team Tok continues to lead the way with poor Team Pod just not getting the luck, nor the points, this season. In particular, Matt regrets his Newcastle treble up and thinks that, maybe, his would have had more joy if he kept his Magpies quota to just Lewis Hall and Alexander Isak.Otherwise, the brothers talk about fixture proof AFC Bournemouth, why Nick doesn't like Everton (sorry Toffees fans), and can Leicester repeat their great escape from the 2014/2015 season and go onto win the league again the following year like they did 9 years ago? Unfortunately for the Foxes, we think not.Of course, Matt and Nick weave in and out of all things Premier League as they discuss the use of AI voice-overs in FPL content in relation to Nick's TikTok of the week. Speaking of which, we are relieved that our US listeners still have access to this platform so they can look at the videos which we discuss in this week's episode!Speaking of TikTok bans, the chaps are quite happy to avoid real-world events for the time being and seek solace in the world of sport. This is all despite some bloke from across the pond celebrating his first-day back in his old job!On a lighter note, we continue the FPL podcast love-in with another shout-out to the incredible Beyond the Sidelines pod. The BTS guys, (not the Korean boy-band), returned our enthusiastic discussion of their show with a mention in one of their latest episodes which we have linked above.Looking ahead to game week 23, the deadline for your transfers, tactics and captaincy decisions is January the 25th at 13:30pm and all the ways you can contact us, are included below...League code: jeepswBlue Sky @fplpodvstok.bsky.socialInsta @ fplpodvstok2024Email - [email protected] remember, keep it fun and keep it FPL!Bye for now!
