Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Nick Miller gather for the Adjudication Panel. On the agenda this week: the sad demise of the football/politics analogy, the sensational story arc of William "Worst Miss of All Time" Akio, Lisandro Martinez - the last remaining footballing "butcher", this week's Transfer That Just Sounds So Right and the most successful footballing full name of all time.
Meanwhile, the panel nail down the mandatory types of Premier League pre-season friendly, from goal-filled clashes with far-flung domestic-league "All Star XIs" to "friendly they agreed to three years ago after poaching that small club's academy player for a pittance".
