Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker assemble for this week's Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: the definition of the footballing verb "to slot", unexpected commentator accents for far-flung World Cup qualifying matches, what it means to be "a sleeping giant" and a vintage, non-football slice of Peter Drury.
Meanwhile, to mark the forthcoming return of Masters football, the panel put together the definitive six-a-side lineup of accessible, still-got-it over-35s to grace the "iconic" blue pitch.
