Four men. No club. One doomed mission. In this unhinged comedy football podcast, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali trudge through the lower leagues of English football desperately searching for a team to call their own. No team is too obscure. No club is safe from judgement. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.

    France vs Senegal Watchalong

    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.

    Mexico vs South Africa Watchalong

    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.

    The 2026 World Cup Preview

    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 Draft

    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?

    Leyton Orient, Peterborough United & Plymouth Argyle

    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.

    Luton Town, Mansfield Town & Northampton Town

    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?

    Bristol Rovers, Cambridge United, Crawley Town & Shrewsbury Town

    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?

    The Transfer Flop XI

    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.
