Fried Footie

Welcome to the debut of The Pain Index — Fried Footie’s new weekly series ranking the most miserable fanbases in world football. Every week, we update the standings based on pure, uncut suffering: form, expectation, humiliation, and emotional collapse. Joining the crew this week is Kiko Suárez, who works for LaLiga club Deportivo Alavés, bringing insider insight (and sympathy) from Spain’s footbal...

🔥 Fried Footie is back for the international break with a full Premier League heat check! Brad, Charles Abankwa, and Rodney Davis dive headfirst into chaos: Did Liverpool just have the worst transfer window in Premier League history? Is Alexander Isak still that guy, or just a Newcastle system merchant? Has Florian Wirtz already checked out? And what’s really going on with Mo Salah and that leaky...

Rodney sets off fireworks on Fried Footie by calling Jude Bellingham overrated.

On this episode of Fried Footie, we’re joined by novelist, essayist, and football thinker Zito Madu (@zeets7) for an expansive conversation that blends Arsenal angst, Manchester United despair, and the contradictions of modern football.

Why did Rodrygo refuse a starring role elsewhere to stay at Real Madrid? Madrid creator Kiko Suárez (@imkikosuarez) breaks down the real reason: a “left wing or bench” mindset—choosing to fight Vini for that spot instead of being “the guy” at another club. We get into Xabi Alonso’s early blueprint, Trent vs Carvajal by opponent, Mbappé at the 9 (and where Gonzalo García fits), whether anyone is tr...

Rodney drops a bold new prediction: Tottenham will finish top 4 under Thomas Frank. He lays out why Spurs’ defense, midfield balance, and Thomas Frank’s tactical approach make them a real contender this season. Brad fires back with his latest obsession, insisting 15-year-old Max Dowman is already Arsenal’s most dangerous young talent — even putting him in the same breath as Lamine Yamal — while Ch...

The Fried Footie crew sit down with one of the hottest new football content creators, Mordzs — a rising voice who grew up in the shadow of Old Trafford, with Manchester United in his blood.

In this brutally honest but passionate conversation, Mordzs lays out exactly...

They aren’t buying it — not when Raphina already owns that spot and Rashford’s last r...
