New: Football Clichés

The Adjudication Panel: Carbon-copy commentary & where clubs store their pre-season minutes

Listen on

Episode notes

Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: some gloriously harmonious Olympic football commentary, some FA Cup revenge 72 years in the making, Man City's kick-off-delaying shame and a definitive analysis of where Premier League teams proverbially store their pre-season minutes.

Meanwhile, the panel enjoy some niche Olympic highlights and decide which opening-weekend Premier League fixture has the most “watch it in a bar on holiday” energy.

Adam's new book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom: How to Use (and Abuse) The Language of Football, is available to pre-order: https://geni.us/ExtraTimeBeckons
