Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller for the Adjudication Panel. On the agenda this time: the technicalities of England's hotly-disputed open-play goal drought, darts taking the concept of "the 12th man" to an unprecedented new level, "acres of time" and the language of footballing spaces and some reassuringly universal-sounding Welsh co-commentary.

Meanwhile, the panel discuss inappropriate typefaces for top-level trophy engraving.
