Ryan has a business idea and we're all in - left-handed Padel rackets because Padel people pay for anything. De Gea is De Gone, we look at the transfers that caught our eye, Ryan puts together an unexpectedly coherent Chelsea starting line-up and as news of the Enhanced Games spreads, Paulo brings you a Doped Up XI of players banned for drug use.

Just like Chelsea we took the back end of the season off- but we're back to talk Saudi conspiracy, Mbappe being a knob, Checkers not being able to give Prime away - plus we dig up our pre-season predictions.

Prompted into action after a month of inactivity, WTFC is back with attacks on the Oros man, a Cheeky Chelsea Champions League Check-In and footballers sons getting out-swagged by the Thuram boys.

Yes this is your football podcasts favourite football podcast and today both versions of the sport are on the agenda. We couldn't let a man like Ryan, with his limited edition Rihanna side line jacket, NOT talk about Superbowl LVII - but Paulo wants to know which football teams these football teams would be and, ends up with Sporting Lisbon. Of course he does. The Super League is back in a new zombie form, City could be gone and Pep is angry, in his new zombie form, and we go back to the US for some NBA. It's called diversifying your portfolio.

Ryan is a new man. He has a little Argentine in his life and his Sunday sermon is going to get messy. Paulo and Senzo are quite jealous of Chelsea's signings - but wonder if Potter is the man to knit them together. Liverpool are in such a mess that two United fans are worried about Klopp's legacy. Pep Cancelo's João to protect the culture and we ask what sort of club will take Mason Greenwood back - warning, it's gets more serious than we've ever been.

For those who say we only talk about the big teams, in this episode we spend 30 minutes on a mid-table clash. Liverpool v Chelsea kicks off the weekend matches and it's all quite, ''meh''. Elsewhere we pretend Arsenal v United means something while we try to ignore City and angry Pep. Senzo asks if it's time for Kane to leave Tottenham and we look at the bigger transfers across Europe while trying to convince Ryan that snow has a purpose.

Filled with post-derby spunk, Paulo and Senzo dragged Ryan into the studio to gloat about The ETH all conquering sex-machines. Ryan finds out that a Joao will always let you down and when does he start worrying about a relegation battle? As long as Todd keeps going after Arsenal targets - we think, soon.

The boys are back and only because Chelsea are shot. Ryan started the season eating popcorn over United's demise and now it's time to rub the salt into his wounds. We say goodbye to Pele and Vialli, track Chelsea's fall from grace, laugh at Liverpool (again), Ryan still thinks Ten Hag is a fraud and calculate how much money Ronaldo has earned since we started recording.

Every football podcast will be doing a World Cup Final preview - we do that - but the real highlight is our Fraud List and it is long!

A special guest joins The WTFc boys to talk Portugal, the last 16, Captain America and Ryan's gambling problem. Paulo, Donato, Ryan and Senzo bring you a take on the World Cup that you're not going to get anywhere else.

Week 1 of the World Cup down and we've got the fever of Extra, Extra time. Who has met expectations, who scored the best goal and who is firmly on Fraud Alert, (it's Belgium, Croatia and Denmark by the way). Why does Carlos Queiroz choose violence and when will England break Ryan's heart?

For.ZA Portugal is a podcast for Portugal National team fans living in South Africa and it will live as long as Portugal stay in Qatar 2022 - so let's hope for a full 7 episodes. Hear from SA Porras about the team we love the most. In the first episode we bring in the guy who inspired this idea - Danny Pinto from The Seleção Podcast. The Seleção Podcast is the leading English language podcast (and probably any language podcsat) about A Seleção. Paulo and Danny connect between Jozi and California and recount their earliest National Team memories, Paulo tells Danny what to expect from hosting a World Cup and we break down of our chances in 2022. Visit Danny and The Seleção Podcast on https://www.selecaopod.com and pick a platform where you can get his latest episodes. Follow, like and subscribe this series so you can stay up to date all through the journey to our first World Cup win!

Paulo is a huge fan and thinks this is the best sport you never heard of - not quite football, not quite golf...and way more interesting that Padel. He's joined by Norman Mphake, President of FootGolf South Africa, to talk about their plans to grow the sport, The World Cup Qualifiers and how this isn't a sport for bachelor parties. Keep up to date with FGSA on @FootGolfSouthAfrica on Facebook and Instagram and @FootGolfSA on Twitter. Also join the conversation with #FootGolfSouthAfrica and #Orlando2023

Paulo, Ryan and Senzo rip up a few packs of Panini stickers to select their World Cup 5 a side teams - Bayern Never Losin' v Sheik MonSenz v Do-Hard. Subscribe now to get all our World Cup Content.

Paulo let’s Ryan and Senzo duke it out about United and Chelsea. We then look at the matches which will consume our weekends across the EPL and Serie A. Michael own is talking shit, or is he? Pique retires before having to wear a Shakira shirt and what’s happening with our FPL teams. Plus subscribe now to get our World Cup Shows.

Paulo and Senzo complain about too much electricity. Ryan is getting on the Potter bus and hopes to bump into Mbappe plus we celebrate Karim Tupac Benzema and Stevie Me slips out of a job.

Asking if you'd prefer Fred or McTominay is like asking if you'd prefer to have the shits or projectile vomit. Senzo has one of those - we find out more. Unfortunately. Also, why fix a Trent when you have Reece? YAY united are shit again, Ryan is still PotterOut, but he could be convinced by the thirst trap new look.

Not a good time to be a Chelsea fan and Paulo and Senzo had no sympathy for Ryan. Did the sorting hat choose Potter or was there something more strategic? Is an All-Star game that bad of an idea and can Paulo fix his microphone?

Paulo and Senzo showed up after a 4-0 loss, so you can be damn sure they're here after beating Liverpool. From an uncomfortably warm studio the show without a name talk about an angry Thomas Tuchel and Auba's Arsenal tattoo. Plus, is this the last show we talk about Ronaldo plus Champions league groups, Europa League group and #FPL tips. Ryan had ASM for his 1 good game this quarter and Paulo was right about Gùndogan.

The boys look at week 3 of FPL and Paulo got them to seriously consider transferring in Gundogan. Will you?

The Working Title FC boys review week 2 of the EPL Season - Paulo and Senzo needed a week to gathering their thoughts on the Brentford game. Ryan thinks Chelsea were robbed against Spurs but we all agree that hair pulling is great. Senzo finds some time to explain Barca's finances - we're still confused. FRAUD!!

It's the only part any EPL fan cares about - your Fantasy team for the season!! Funny names, gut feels, bad calls. Has Paulo gone early on Jesse Lingard? Ederson or Alison? And not a Ronaldo in sight?  If you're not sure about your team, you'll get no help here. WARNING: THE INFORMATION HEARD ON THIS SHOW DOES NOT CONSTITUTE FPL ADVICE. PLEASE CONSULT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MORE THAN THESE IDIOTS.

They're going to win the whole thing so we speak about literally everything else. When Paulo, Senzo and Ryan do get to the football we ask how many goals constitutes a good season for Haaland, did they even need Calvin Phillips and is Pep's real greatness in his trophies or in the impact he has on a country's football.

Trigger warning - this episode is being done by 2 United and 1 Chelsea fans. We try our best to be fair about Darwin Nunez aka The new Cavani, an ageing midfield, Klopp's legacy and how many sets of teeth will be go through until be leaves Liverpool.

They're lucky they have a club. Ryan thought he was funny when we spoke about United but in this Premier League Season Preview, Chelsea is fair game. Can Raheem make them dream and when will Todd get tired of playing Director of Football?

Paulo has a big shout about Spurs while Ryan and Senzo are just scared of Antonio. 

The next Premier League season preview takes us to Arsenal and Ryan thinks they're sexy. Arteta's hair decides its own hairstyle and Bellerin triggers everyone. Arsenal fans need Jesus in their lives and they got him.

Is there a new bald fraud in town and does he know you can buy players from clubs besides Ajax. In the first club focused Premier League season preview its United's turn and Ryan has the popcorn out. How do you solve a problem like Ronaldo, the chase for De Jong has gone on too long and we somehow end up STILL talking about Pogba.

Paulo, Senzo and Ryan are not impressed by Brighton OR Hove Albion, Leicester have reached the ceiling and more Moyes misery

Palace, Newcastle and Wolves are up next. You gotta route for Viera, the only manage with the balls to kick a fan up his ass, Wolves are even boring Jorge Mendes and Newcastle are being sickeningly sensible - but Howe long will that last?

In this season Premier League preview Ryan, Senzo and Paulo take a look at Leeds, Everton, Southampton, Villa and Brentford. Will they play with fire again? How baked is the Leed's squad, Paulo has had enough of Southampton and we though Stevie Me did alot better than this.

Paulo, Senzo and Ryan look at what's in store for Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Bournemouth. Will Scott Parker be gone by the World Cup, how much violence will Mitro commit and has Jessie Lingard already won fraud alert.
