  • Jamie Carragher's match-ball voice, promotion fodder & three-sided fortresses

    Jamie Carragher's match-ball voice, promotion fodder & three-sided fortresses
    Sep 16 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: a story of Sunday League admin woe, Jamie Carragher's vocal impression of a match ball waiting to be headed home, some typically made-up-sounding US soccer jargon, Callum Hudson-Odoi's goal-trademarking credentials, Referees Names in Things and the difference between "return fixtures" and "reverse fixtures". Meanwhile, the panel assure Oxford United that a three-sided stadium still be a "fortress" but fear for the future of the "if Player X had done that, we'd all be raving about it" concept.

  • Carsley culture, scorelines you'd take before the game & the most left-footed Premier League club

    Carsley culture, scorelines you'd take before the game & the most left-footed Premier League club
    Sep 11 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: predicting the cultural impact of Lee Carsley’s England reign, an Arsenal legend's name in the NFL, the acceptable context to use the word "side" for a team, yet more football-chant confusion in the audiobook world, and Richard Keys and Andy Gray's visit to Jon Obi Mikel's podcast. Meanwhile, the panel decide which specific scorelines someone could say they would have “taken before the game” and the most left-footed club in Premier League history.

Top notch content!

Great to have the pod back, and with an unchanged lineup! New listeners in for a treat

Quality Podcast

What's not to like? I'm glad they've restarted on here, I've been a long time listener on Google Podcasts... for my sins.

Amazing to have the pod back

great to have an unchanged adjudication panel- but the new cover doesn’t look great. Loving it so far.
