Sarcastic passes, tiny football studio furniture & the most un-booable position in an XI
About this episode
The episode discusses various football topics including passing adjectives, goal scoring, and the dynamics of substitutes on the pitch.
Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: a baffling passing adjective in the EFL Trophy, how a striker would "unlock" their goalscoring account for the season, Everton's irresistible "cup run" candidacy, LASK 5 Celtic 4 and the saddest football TV studio of all time, Michael Owen mixes up his modes of transport, a curious anomaly in how we describe substitutes entering the fray, how early a new signing can be called "a revelation" and Richard Keys's optimistic claim to having originally coined a phrase. Meanwhile, the panel ponder which is the most boo-proof position on a football pitch.
