Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Charlie Eccleshare meet for another Adjudication Panel. The latest agenda features a salsa-flavoured cover of World in Motion, a definitive explanation of “the lion’s share of possession”, the very specific scenarios in which players do not “cover themselves in glory”, some premature festive co-commentary and the Vatican City’s FA Cup kicking off in earnest.
Meanwhile, the panel explore the humble sub-genre of self-deprecatory football chants, from the charming optimism of "we're gonna win 5-4" to Norwich's recent masterpiece, "How s*** must you be, we're drawing away."
