On toast in his pocket, pulling up trees & The Number-and-a-Half XI
Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the coining of a superb phrase in Canada, Dua Lipa tests the football hipster threshold, Conor Bradley’s triple lock on Vinicius Junior, an early contender for semi-accidental footballing portmanteau of the season, how to (not) "pull up trees", the celebrity TV equivalent of inevitably signing for West Ham and English football stadiums that could be someone’s name.
Meanwhile, after Thomas Tuchel's description of Phil Foden as a "nine and a half", the panel put together a definitive team of Number and a Halfs.

Vittorio Angelone on orchestral anthems, Lev Yashin's cap, and badge-avoiding classy touches
We’d love your vote for Football Clichés as Podcast of the Year at the FSA Awards: https://vote.footballcliches.com/
The pod welcomes comedian Vittorio Angelone for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as he chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football.
Among Vittorio's selections are a passionate defence of classical music's influence on football, a brief history of goalkeepers in caps, the sort-of rise and fall of front-flip throw-ins, vanishingly small modern shinpads and players who performatively avoid walking on club badges in the tunnel.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel enjoy some slightly unnecessary match-report ridicule for Everton's misfiring Thierno Barry and an unprecedented VAR-fuelled crowd noise at Anfield.

”Cool as custard”, Reo-Coker's hanky-panky & football's reigning Great Entertainers
Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: the story behind an FA Cup penalty shootout commentary curiosity, a familiar sound effect in a Roman history documentary, the least cool item of clothing ever worn by a top-flight manager, someone selling match-worn Premier League referees' shirts on Vinted and Keys & Gray switch their international allegiance once and for all.
Meanwhile, the panel enjoy Dave's deep dive on the history of the lineal Great Entertainers title in English football and ponder if a Premier League season could ever be completed without a single managerial sacking.

Rob Morgan on FA Cup engraving, football rhyming slang & overrated wondergoals
The pod welcomes comedy creator Rob Morgan for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as he chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football.

Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel enjoy an unusual scenario for a new Celtic manager and the most football-sounding World Series baseball noise ever recorded.
