One club. Infinite regrets. After 18 months searching for a team, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali have finally settled down. York City is the chosen one. Now, the real challenge begins: learning to actually love them. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T14:20:56.880338+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288"},"episode":{"title":"The Draw","slug":"the-draw","published_at":"2026-08-10T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288/the-draw","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingafootballclub/episodes/The-Draw-e3mpop4","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/104d53310/podcast/play/123576548/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-31%2F428963073-44100-2-f68602c67537e.m4a","summary":"After more than a year of tangents, disqualifications and absolute nonsense, we’ve finally reached the point of no return. This week, Luke and Will dust off their finest blazers and break out the ping-pong balls for the official Last 16 live draw. The mechanics are simple. Will has a classified numbering system for the remaining clubs, Luke will blindly pull numbered ping-pong balls, and that will reveal the matchups. Crucially, this draw locks in the bracket for the entire route to the final; there’s no turning back. With everyone returning next episode to vote on the ties, Luke also takes a moment to establish his new dictatorial voting powers: in the event of a tie, his vote officially counts as two. Democracy is dead. Remember, the ultimate winner will genuinely become the lads’ football club for the rest of our lives (... or at least until an annual review).","meta_description":"After more than a year of tangents, disqualifications and absolute nonsense, we’ve finally reached the point of no return.
