  • The Most Overrated Premier League XI
    Jul 3 2025

    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.

  • Port Vale, Salford City & Swindon Town
    Jun 26 2025

    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.

  • Barnet, Notts County & Newport County
    Jun 19 2025

    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.

  • The Best and Worst Man City XI
    Jun 12 2025

    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.

  • Harrogate Town vs MK Dons
    Jun 5 2025

    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.

  • The Best and Worst Arsenal and Chelsea XIs
    May 29 2025

    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).

  • Fleetwood Town, Gillingham & Grimsby Town
    May 22 2025

    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.
