Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller are back for another slice of alternative Euro 2020 analysis, including the moral panic of footballers biting each other, Patrik Schick breathing new life into the genre of halfway-line wonder strikes and whether a penalty in a shootout should ever find itself in a "greatest goals" debate.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel explore the mandatory language of Premier League Fixtures Day, appraise the BBC and ITV Euros studios and enjoy a very special episode outro indeed.
