This week on Finding a Football Club, let’s celebrate the art of burning money. The lads are sifting through the wreckage of the modern transfer market to build the ultimate Transfer Flop XI.

But first, the gang must address the aggressively hand-gesturing elephant in the room: Italy. As Roberto mourns his nation's failure to qualify for a historic third consecutive World Cup, Will twists the knife by helpfully pointing out that the Azzurri are now statistically better at cricket than football.

Eventually, the squad looks at the worst transfer business of the 21st century. Which includes Barcelona’s dodgy accountancy, the enduring mystery of Ali Dia, Gonzalo Higuain’s male pattern baldness, and League Cup disaster artist, Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Elsewhere, the gang wonders who had an affair with Khalid Boulahrouz’s wife, why Oleksandr Zinchenko isn't fighting on the front lines, and if David Luiz is the most expensive virgin.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the five-part epic finally grinds to a halt as the lads assemble the ultimate Top 10 Strikers since 2005.

With Jay returning from paternity leave, the full roster is back together to crown the greatest Number 9 of the modern era. Naturally, it takes about three minutes for the civil war to commence.

The lads clash over Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero (what else is new?), and whether Robin van Persie spent his entire career "pumping spastics".

Elsewhere, someone refuses to accept Karim Benzema as anything more than a glorified one-season wonder, Jay frantically Googles random ‘Top 50 Strikers’ lists to find one that cites Henrik Larsson, and the gang somehow forget Edison Cavani exists.

Finding a Football Club continues its five-part descent into footballing civil war as Luke, Will, Roberto and the elusive Jay Alexander-Ali attempt to rank the Top 10 Midfielders of the last 20 years.

With all the lads present, order collapses. Luka Modrić is branded a crack addict, Luke suffers a meltdown over Toni Kroos’ placement, and Will attempts to sneak Mesut Özil into the top 10.

Along the way, the lads ask the big questions: Was Xavi boring? Is Busquets a fraud? And was Fabregas ever really elite?

Plus, a shocking revelation as Roberto casually reveals that his sister teaches Andrés Iniesta’s kids how to swim.

Midfielders ranked. Relationships damaged.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie and Will Herron put Jay Alexander-Ali on trial for crimes against footballing reality.

His misdemeanour? A claim so insane it suggests a carbon monoxide leak in his house: that Celtic are a top 10 biggest club in the world.

Luke and Will come armed with cold hard stats, UEFA coefficients, and a list of clubs ranging from Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund to dismantle the delusion.

Along the way, Jay invents the concept of 'Club vs Team' to move the goalposts, Will unveils his love for Boca Juniors, and the lads discover that Martin O'Neill is apparently the only manager who has ever existed.

Warning: Contains hazardous levels of bias and abuse towards Scottish football.

Finding a Football Club returns with another instalment in the quest to name the best players of the last 20 years.

This week, the lads turn their attention to the backline.

With Jay still in witness protection, it falls on Luke, Roberto and Will to rattle off the deserving (and not so deserving) names.

Along the way, they ask the big questions: Was Piqué actually that good? Why did Jay vote for a 35-year-old Cafu? Did Nesta really take the Canadian league by storm? And why does Will have a personal vendetta against Virgil van Dijk?

This week on Finding a Football Club, we kick off a brand-new four-part series celebrating the very best players of the past 20 years. And where else to start but between the sticks?

With Jay and Will cowardly refusing to appear, it’s left up to Luke Oddie and Roberto Boni to put their reputations on the line and unveil FAFC’s definitive Top 10 goalkeepers since 2005.

Who will take the crown? Who is Will’s wildcard goalscoring keeper suggestion? And why does Jay rate Dida so highly?

The gloves are off. Literally.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke and Will go full North vs South as Huddersfield Town face Exeter City in the most lopsided class battle since Jamie Oliver discovered turkey twizzlers.

Will unveils his new game, ‘Exeter player or posh toff I went to boarding school with’, Luke flexes too much knowledge about a team he isn’t even pitching, and FAFC’s official Huddersfield correspondent, Louie Hall, makes a plea for his Terriers.

Elsewhere, the lads wonder which clubs count famous (alleged) sex offenders as supporters, play Who Am I? with ex-Premier League players now managing in League One, rip into Doctor Who, and link Exeter to the rise of the world’s most successful footballing nation.

In loving memory of Montgomery the Tibetan Terrier. A very good boy.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Will and Roberto go head-to-head in the ultimate test of football trivia: the inaugural FAFC Pub Quiz.

It’s a messy battle of wits featuring Nicklas Bendtner’s literary career, forgettable Udinese strikers, and one man’s fight against focaccia.

Along the way, the lads tackle UEFA’s longest away day, the highest rated players on FIFA and the best ever matchday pies.

This might be the nerdiest episode yet. Bring a pen. Or don’t. No one’s keeping score. Except Luke. Luke is definitely keeping score.

This time on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Will and Jay lock horns over Bolton Wanderers, Burton Albion, and Cardiff City; three football clubs you’d be embarrassed to bring home to your parents.

Getting distracted, the lads guess how many celebrities Aaron Ramsey has accidentally sent to the pearly gates, discover Wigan Kebabs, attempt to link beer brands to football clubs, drool over Burton’s new home kit, and Jay learns that Fabrice Muamba is not dead.

Plus, tensions flare as a truly brain-melting Piers Morgan take exposes Will’s irrational bias toward Arsenal’s Invincibles.

It’s football… kind of.

This week, Finding a Football Club goes full football hipster as Luke Oddie and returning guest Roberto Boni (yes, the one who would give his life for Ruben Neves) pick their Most Underrated Premier League XI (since 2005).

The unsung heroes. The B-sides. The ‘he was actually class if you watched him properly’.

Consider it a tribute to all those players who were never the poster boys, but absolutely should’ve been.

Along the way, the lads remember Gábor Király's ick-inducing joggers, mind-meld over a French World Cup winner who had no business being stuck at Stoke, try to comprehend Roberto’s baffling love for a forgotten Irish Man United reject, and unveil Luke’s Mr Thicc.

This week on Finding a Football Club, tragedy strikes.

With Jay sadly (and definitely not temporarily) deceased, Luke and Will bravely soldier on, honouring his memory the only way they know how: mocking lower league football clubs.

As Barnsley vs Blackpool square off, the lads discuss Will’s love of plus-sized women, cover Luke ‘Fabrizio Romano’ Oddie’s insider gossip, play Jay’s fight-themed football quiz, explore Blackpool’s inventive protests, and eulogise over quadruple-ply toilet paper. 

It’s a chaotic tribute to a fallen comrade… who’ll probably be back next week.

This week on Finding a Football Club, it’s a reunion: Luke, Jay, and the long-lost Will; who’s back from his European odyssey.

The gang are misty-eyed as they tackle the final three teams in League Two: Oldham Athletic, Tranmere Rovers and Walsall.

But, before League One beckons, the lads squeeze in some essential nonsense. 

They discuss Oldham’s first test tube baby, Tranmere’s connection to the Ku Klux Klan, the international superstar that is Carl Winchester (us neither), and why Walsall are the most communist football league side.

Oh, and the show wraps with the drunk voicemail Will left Luke on his wedding day.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the lads tackle the fourth instalment of their ‘Best Players of the Last 20 Years’ series, with wingers and wide forwards in their crosshairs.

With Jay missing, Luke, Will and Roberto are forced to actually agree with each other, resulting in an alarmingly uniform Top 10 list.

So, the lads tackle bigger questions. Was Arjen Robben more unstoppable than his male pattern baldness? Are Alexis Sanchez and Kyle Walker’s wife into bestiality? And did Neymar genuinely negotiate a mandated orgy for his father?

Along the way, Will bumps into Martin Tyler, Roberto drops pub quiz trivia about Chester, and, for once and for all, Luke proves that Lionel Messi is better than Gabby Agbonlahor.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie is joined by the podcast’s resident Italian stallion, Roberto Boni; making his ‘official’ debut after his previous booze-fuelled recording on Luke’s wedding night will never see the light of day.

Today, it’s all about building the Most Overrated Premier League XI.

Not bad players, not forgotten flops. These are players who have accolades, cult status and an army of fans… but we’re just not having it.

Along the way, the lads dethrone two Manchester United and Liverpool legends, Roberto gets riled up when Robbie Keane or Ruben Neves are questioned, and bickering unfolds over who’s the worst: Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Wilfred Zaha.

It’s fiery, opinionated and guaranteed to upset someone. Probably you.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie is joined by Jay Alexander-Ali, fresh from a romantic trip to Pisa. Mamma Mia!

Under the microscope this time are Port Vale: the only club named after a canal; Salford City: the Class of ’92’s vanity project; and Swindon Town: David Brent’s worst nightmare.  

Plus, along the way the lads visit the two closest stadiums in the UK, question if Jay’s new girlfriends gets turned on by doors, play Will’s intercontinental career progression quiz, re-evaluate one-sided rivalries and question if Finding a Football Club ever be affiliated with TalkSPORT.

Another episode of complete nonsense, loosely disguised as a football podcast.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the original co-host, Dan, returns from exile. No Jay. No Will. Just Luke and the guy who was axed for knowing nothing about football. 

On the chopping block this week, Barnet: the only club named after a haircut; Notts County: where the world’s first tarmac road was laid; and Newport County: home to one of the Village People.

Getting distracted, the lads debate which mascots could batter Dan, discuss dwarf life expectancy, expose Dan’s concerning revisionist takes, recall how Leslie Grantham murdered a German taxi driver, and play the nation’s new favourite game: Spot the Welsh.

Things get feisty this week on Finding a Football Club as Luke and Jay down tools on the lower leagues for a chaotic deep dive into Manchester City’s best and worst XIs.

Jay, seemingly fresh off day release, fires off a string of argument-inducing takes: Celtic are a global superclub, David Silva is world-class, and Man City are a bigger club than Barcelona and Bayern Munich (yes, really).

Also in the mix, the duo take on the Dream Career Challenge, where Jay reveals a life plan so bleak it features not one, but two Scottish clubs. And, Luke spills the beans on a friend who once shagged a goalkeeper City would rather forget.

Back to the bread and butter on Finding a Football Club as Luke and Jay weigh up Harrogate Town and MK Dons in their hunt for a team to love.

One’s a quaint Yorkshire spa town with a football club nobody remembers exists. The other’s a loathed plastic franchise that’s football’s answer to identity theft. It's artisan chutney and National Trust memberships vs relocation, relocation, relocation.

Plus, Luke plays his innuendo-heavy phone call with Fleetwood’s filthiest receptionist and the lads play Someone Said You Were Dead, where they try to track down footballers they were convinced had retired.

This week on Finding a Football Club, it’s just Luke and Will. No Jay, no distractions, and no legal team present.

Before Will swans off around Europe, the lads go full fanboy and name their all-time best XIs. Will picks Arsenal. Luke picks Chelsea. Then, like true football snobs, they argue over who actually qualifies as world-class.

Then things turn toxic as Luke digs up Arsenal’s most embarrassing forgotten men, whilst Will retaliates with a Chelsea XI so uninspiring it could trigger PTSD in any Blues fan. That’s right, it’s the return of Khalid Boulahrouz.

Elsewhere, the boys go completely off-piste pondering Matthew Broderick’s shady driving history, debating whether Dennis Bergkamp was just vibes, revisiting Robert Huth’s involvement in Cock or No Cock, outing a certain Chelsea player who sold his soul to the devil, and investigating whether John Terry was actually racist (spoiler: obviously).

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Jay and Will throw three more teams into a ring and see which bloodied victor staggers out.  

In the firing line are the teenage pregnancy Holy Trinity: Fleetwood Town, Gillingham and Grimsby Town. 

Getting distracted, the lads question if Jamie Carragher was actually any good, guess some One Cap Wonders, unpack Jay’s unsettling obsession with Titus Bramble, talk trams, investigate a smutty stadium review, and try to catch a predator spotted at a Grimsby match eight years ago.

In this episode of Finding a Football Club, Luke is joined by the new co-hosts Jay Alexander-Ali and Will Herron. The lads come out swinging as they size up Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra, and Doncaster Rovers in their increasingly desperate quest to find the perfect lower-league club to support. 

Along the way, the gang uncover Doncaster’s one-legged goalkeeper, settle the Drogba vs. Aguero debate, wonder if Aaron Ramsey is a serial killer, select their dream pop star footballers, and ask “is Ryan Shawcross the greatest defender of all time?”

In the inaugural episode of Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade start the search for a new lower league football club to support. On the chopping block this week: Accrington Stanley, AFC Wimbledon, Barrow, Bradford City, Bromley, Carlisle United, Cheltenham Town, and Chesterfield.

But let’s be honest, it’s less about football and more about the important stuff. The lads remember Hayley Cropper, debate the true value of a sausage roll, reflect on the uni students they once terrorised, discover that a member of The Wanted is dead, uncover a mid-stroke Carlisle podcast host, and play What Was Good About 1975.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the lads search for loyalty in the modern game as they pay tribute to the unglamorous, long-serving squad players who basically came free with the stadium.

However, professionalism is at an all-time low. Will dials in from his phone having lost all his prep work, and Jay is missing in action after having a baby (congratulations to a man who refuses to listen to his own podcast).

The football chat quickly derails as Will announces Mark Noble’s 'honorary' Harvard degree, Roberto recounts impressing Tim Sherwood with his motorway knowledge, and Luke gaslights Will over Dean Windass.

Elsewhere, there’s a push for Shola Ameobi to receive national honours, Grant Holt’s inexplicable Italian gap year is uncovered, and Steve Harper’s career is finally reduced to a single, damning metric.

This time on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Will, and Roberto trawl through the atlas to build a starting XI of players from the world’s most niche footballing nations.

Expect discussion on the finest exports from Curaçao, Uzbekistan, and the Seychelles. Though, if we're being honest, it's mostly just an excuse to list former Wigan Athletic players.

The lads assemble a team that features a Filipino goalkeeper who played for Leatherhead, a midfielder from French Guiana who defied FIFA law, and the slowest Latvian in football history.

Along the way, Will drops a bombshell fact about Shaka Hislop working for NASA, Roberto tries to sneak a human trafficking victim into the midfield, and Luke tries to wrap the episode up in 50 minutes to avoid giving his wife a massage.

Just another episode then.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the irony meter explodes as Jay misses the recording of the Injury Prone XI due to… illness.

Left to their own devices, Luke, Will and Roberto scrape together a team of Greek Tragedies, ranging from Dean Ashton’s shattered ankle to Kim Källström’s broken back.

But let’s be honest, football is barely a suggestion. The lads discuss the sexual politics of Neymar’s family, Heston Blumenthal getting sectioned, and question if Luke Shaw has the IQ required to assemble IKEA furniture.

Plus, Luke reveals he’s in the doghouse for researching Craig Gordon’s medical history, Roberto brands Phil Jones a hundred grand a week corner-taker, and Will eulogises over Adriano’s transition from PES legend to ‘alleged’ favela drug lord.

This week on Finding a Football Club, the lads realise they technically own the RSS feed and can do whatever they want. So, football is out, and sitcoms are in.

With Will taking over hosting duties, the gang tries to agree on the Top 10 sitcoms of all time.

The quartet discuss the criminal record of The Thick of It’s cast, verify if Tiger Woods ever actually appeared in a certain sitcom, and Jay defends My Wife and Kids whilst Luke brands its fans "lobotomised pigs”.

It’s the entertainment special nobody asked for.

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke is joined by resident Wolves fan Roberto and the artist formerly known as Will, who has undergone a disturbing rebrand to Sniggleberry.

The lads head to the Black Country to assemble the ultimate Wolverhampton Wanderers XI; choosing between Mick McCarthy’s ‘meat and potatoes’ era and the Jorge Mendes monopoly.

But, let’s be honest, the football is merely a suggestion. The gang discuss Wayne Hennessey’s connection to the Third Reich, the lubricating science behind Adama Traore's baby-oiled arms, and the time Jamie O’Hara tried to fight a 13-year-old boy at Leatherhead.

Plus, Luke defends his obsession with Leander Dendoncker, the lads investigate Joleon Lescott’s car crash history, and they ask the big question: Is Matt Jarvis the greatest table tennis nepo baby of all time?

Luke returns to the quizmaster’s chair, blazer freshly dusted, for the second edition of the FAFC Pub Quiz; welcoming back reigning champion Roberto, alongside challengers Will and Jay.

Because it’s the sequel, it’s longer, harder and darker.

Can you keep up? You’ll need to recall which way birds face on football crests, name Real Madrid’s 2014 Champions League-winning XI, remember the most expensive African footballer ever, and know how many American school shootings occurred in 2014.

Along the way, the lads learn that Hulk left his wife for her niece, Martin Jol’s brothers are called Cock and Dick, and Ryan Giggs starred in a Japanese tomato juice advert.

Leads evaporate, Chinese accents are enforced, and, as football always intended, everything ends with Emile Heskey.

This week on Finding a Football Club, squad depth becomes an issue as Luke and Roberto are left alone to name the best England XI of the 21st century.

With Will out sick and Jay ruled ineligible on account of being Scottish, the conversation immediately drifts into Stoke City’s Pulis-era war criminals, Andy ‘Fat Maradona’ Reid’s stag do antics, and an unprovoked drive-by on Karen Brady.

On the pitch, there’s debate over England’s No.1, who to pair with Gerrard and Lampard, and a tactical relapse to a mid-2000s diamond.

And then the episode ends... except it doesn’t.

In the hidden track, Jay joins having done completely different homework, unveiling a niche England XI restricted to Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City players. The lads also reignite the Celtic big club argument and brutally roast a rival podcast.

It’s (never) coming home.

Finding a Football Club goes back to its roots this week. After months of tangents, the gang finally resume the actual premise of the podcast: finding a lower-league football club to support.

Naturally, everyone brings a depressing team to the table. Will reps Cambridge United, Roberto pitches Crawley Town, Jay champions Shrewsbury Town, and Luke goes to bat for Bristol Rovers.

Plus, the lads discover that PC World took down Gary Glitter, try to spot fake erotic Ian Holloway quotes, say Dion Dublin’s name an ungodly amount of times, and accidentally invent a smash-hit game show: Is it Cordial?

This week on Finding a Football Club, the hunt for a new team continues. Luke and Roberto tackle the next trio of clubs on the chopping block: Leyton Orient, Peterborough United and Plymouth Argyle.

The boys are forced to weigh up the gentrified, jellied-eel-eaters vs. the most ironically named team in British football vs. a nautical outpost that takes three days to drive to.

Naturally, the football chat is abandoned. Instead, the lads discuss mythical dragons, swap autistic options on their favourite UK roads, and guess the staggeringly low attendances of the saddest mega-stadiums on Earth.

Plus, Josh Widdicombe takes strays, Will catches a few more, and Julian Lloyd Webber catches absolute cannonballs.

This time on Finding a Football Club, squad depth is an issue. With Jay and Roberto missing in action, Luke and Will are left unsupervised to sift through the misery of Northampton, Mansfield, and Luton Town.

Naturally, the actual football is abandoned almost immediately. Will tries to become the Mansfield CEO’s gimp, Luke confesses to a string of late-night pebble heists, and the lads’ God Complex reaches its final form as they outline how they’d change modern football.

Elsewhere, the boys unpack Shaquille O'Neal's bizarre League Two fandom, recount when an Aldershot ultra burnt Will’s shoe, and debut what is undoubtedly the greatest game show ever conceived: Is It Cordial?

It's a World Cup special on Finding a Football Club this week, as the lads look ahead to the 2026 edition with a 6-round draft.

The rules are simple: pick the best nations, rack up the most points, and try not to embarrass yourself.

Once the clock starts, Jay bets the house on Donald Trump rigging the tournament, Will accidentally drafts three teams from the same group, and Roberto experiences genuine buyer's remorse upon discovering who actually manages Portugal.

Plus, the gang tackles the burning issues of modern international football. Does Ronald Koeman look like a giant baby? Is Guillermo Ochoa immortal? And which draft pick resembles the desperation of being on the prowl in a nightclub?

This time on Finding a Football Club, with the 2026 World Cup just days away, Luke takes the reins to guide Roberto and Jay through a worryingly comprehensive preview.

The centrepiece of the episode is Luke’s monolithic 48-team big board, where he’s meticulously ranked every single nation heading to North America. Leaving Jay fuming at the disrespect shown to Scotland.

Plus, the lads lay down their official tournament predictions. Sticking their necks out to name their Golden Boot, Golden Ball, Golden Glove and Best Young Player winners. Alongside their ultimate tournament surprise packages, runners-up and eventual winners.

The receipts are officially locked in, the predictions are signed in blood, and there is absolutely nowhere to hide.

The 2026 World Cup has officially kicked off, and Finding a Football Club is here to provide the ultimate alternative commentary. Luke and Roberto suffer through the opening game, so you don’t have to.

While Mexico comfortably secure a 2-0 win to cash Luke's (some say genius) bet, the lads are more interested in Salma Hayek’s billionaire husband, question why Paul Bettany used 9/11 to propose to Jennifer Connelly, and disagree on the talent of Mark Lawrenson.

Roberto steals the show with an anecdote from his local cricket club involving an oblivious 19-year-old, a girlfriend currently in labour, and a biological father who has conveniently fled to Tunisia.

Plus, the boys test their obscure football knowledge with a few rounds of Goalless, simulate their 38-0 teams, and rattle through their definitive World Cup brackets.

This time on Finding a Football Club, alternative commentary is back on the menu. Luke (battling severe hayfever) and Will (battling severe delusion) sit down to watch France vs Senegal.

Naturally, the live football takes a backseat as the boys dissect every other World Cup result so far; leaving Luke sweating over his rapidly crumbling 48-team Big Board. Meanwhile, following a shock Socceroos win, Will is suddenly feeling more Australian than Jason Donavan throwing shrimp on the barbie.

His newfound patriotism could explain the frankly bonkers tournament bracket, where he sends Australia and Saudi Arabia through to the Last 16 and geriatric Croatia to the final four.

Elsewhere, the duo slander hydration breaks, play a 2020 Champions League final edition of Goalless, and create a 38-0 team that relies on the talents of Rory Delap.

Sacre bleu.

The 2026 World Cup group stages are grinding on, and Finding a Football Club is here to complain about it. This week, Luke, Will and Jay sift through England’s snooze-fest against Ghana, the Golden Boot race ever, and try to figure out who is making it to the knockouts.

To do so, Luke unleashes a meticulously researched, mathematical group-by-group breakdown designed solely to crush Jay’s hopes and logically prove that Scotland are crashing out of the tournament.

Elsewhere, the lads review their World Cup Draft teams before putting Jay in the hot seat. Not only does he have to defend his World Cup bracket (where he delusionally backs Scotland to make the quarters), but he also takes on the 38-0 challenge.

To wrap up, Luke unveils his masterstroke. Tired of fighting the football podcast algorithm, he reveals he changed the show’s category, officially crowning FAFC as the UK’s No.1 Volleyball podcast.

Plus, there’s a thin slice of Danny Guthrie. Get. Him. On. The. Pod.
