Finding a Football Club – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
