    Corner-kick chaos, a Premier League without a W & Joe Cole at the Ritz
    May 11 2026
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the slightly overlooked aspects of the West Ham corner chaos, predicting the title of the Arsenal story-of-the-season book, an alphabetical crisis for the Premier League, five-star co-commentary from Joe Cole, how long is too long for a commentator to stay silent after a goal, and footballers’ names in both cheap office furniture and the inexplicably Urdu songs of Robert Palmer.

    May 7 2026
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: a cultural review of the Champions League semi-finals (featuring Daniel Sturridge inventing the "nine and three-quarters" role and the return of CBS's Beckham & Friends), celebration policing ties itself in knots, the Andy Gray of the Faroe Islands, former Wimbledon strikers' names in mid-1960s Marvel comics and a curious Evening With Eden Hazard (feat. Rickie Lambert). Meanwhile, the panel ponder the name and vibe of a hypothetical new fourth UEFA club competition.

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.

Quality Podcast

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

Amazing to have the pod back

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Belter of a podcast anyway but felt compelled to limit the damage of a previous one star review because the helmet found it easier to leave a negative review than delete an episode from his feed. Get in the bin.

Keep up the fantastic work you absolute idiots Love you x

Cricket cluches in my feed. nice one.
