Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Charlie Eccleshare are joined by rapper, comedian, actor and writer Ben Bailey Smith, aka Doc Brown, for another edition of 'Mesut Haaland Dicks'.
Among the things Ben can finally get off his chest are weirdly old-fashioned football chants, the pure joy of Ian Wright and a deep, deep dive into the mandatory punditry phrase that is "in and around".
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel also explore Martin Tyler's obsession with "the Croydon De Bruyne", a very peculiar pronunciation of "Cantona" and poor Joe Hart's post-match Instagram hell.
