Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker convene for the Adjudication Panel once again. On the agenda: some semi-convincing football small talk on Coronation Street, Frank Lampard's accurate portrayal on Football Manager, the most training-groundy training ground name possible and what we mean when we say a striker is "unplayable on their day."

Meanwhile, the panel humour some desperate close-season projects: calculating the precise UK coordinates of the average Premier League goal and a definitive 92-club league table of how acceptable it is to say "for my sins" after declaring who you support.
