The washed Sky Sports News, Horlicks FC & the Transfers That Feel So Right XI
About this episode
The episode discusses various football topics including the decline of Sky Sports News and features a selection of the Summer 2026 Transfers That Just Feel So Right XI.
Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the agonising death of Sky Sports News on deadline day, whether a player can have a “knack” for scoring penalties, Darren Fletcher reviving his Copacbana obsession, footballers’ names in German pet food adverts, whether a header can be “blazed" over the bar, the threshold for a goal getting a trailing team "back in it", an apocalyptic-sounding night at the ex-footballers charity boxing, and checking in with the boys at Keys & Gray Unleashed. Meanwhile, the panel select the Summer 2026 Transfers That Just Feel So Right XI.
