Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Charlie Eccleshare are joined by Ralph Ineson, star of The Office, Game of Thrones and the Harry Potter films, for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks.
Ralph's loves, hates, fascinations and irritations of football include: the joy (and cruelty) of nutmegs, touching the match ball when it flies into the stand, the irritation of short corners and co-commentators who clearly hate your club.
