Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and David Walker are joined by writer Joel Golby for the return of Mesut Haaland Dicks.

Golby's nominations feature the moment a referee gets hit by the ball, a spirited vindication of half-and-half scarves and goalscoring defenders who just don't know how to celebrate.

The podcast also confronts an uncomfortable question: is 90% of all pre-match TV build-up just massively unnecessary?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
