Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Nick Miller are joined by Match of the Day commentator Robyn Cowen for another edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks.

Among Robyn's selections for her footballing fascinations and irritations are the weird things that we mindlessly clap during matches, the obsession with the Match of the Day running order and the futility of pre-match interviews with managers.
