    Referees vs The Limelight, passages of terror & Matt 1 Hernia 0

    Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: yet another new rival for the "corridor of uncertainty", the media taking Ruben Amorim slightly too literally, a listener's deciding an appropriate scoreline for his hernia operation, more Ligue 1 voiceover curiosity, and a tribute to the soon-to-be-retired Eurosport brand. Meanwhile, the panel ponder whether referees really do "seek the limelight" and whether the new-look Champions League officially passes the “whisper it but...” threshold.

    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: Walker's Ribblesdale Rovers side have a relegation battle on their hands, a subtle misremembering of that Sir Alex Ferguson quote, Jamie Redknapp's curious refereeing vote of confidence, former England wingers on Antiques Roadshow, accidental UK garage from Ange Postecoglou, some pathological footballspeak in everyday life, yet more incorrect football chanting in adverts and, finally, an answer to the question: how much does a Premier League point weigh?

    Cometh the quinquennium, cometh the pod

    Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Football Cliches podcast's fifth anniversary. The agenda includes: a Serie A commentary tribute from an unexpected source, the 1990 version of “if Lionel Messi did that, we’d all be raving about it”, yet another Premier League name in a true-crime documentary, co-commentator Gary Breen plucks some Barry Manilow out of nowhere, a one-time-only return for Premier League Years Playlist Bingo and a celebration of half a decade of having the language of football on absolute toast. Meanwhile, the panel briefly ponder how many consecutive clean sheets it would take to get a goalkeeper from Sunday League to the Premier League - and Charlie's "generic football pundit" voice takes on its ultimate challenge.
