Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and James Maw are joined by comedian, writer and Swindon Town fan Ivo Graham for the latest instalment of 'Mesut Haaland Dicks'.
Ivo's eclectic nominations for his loves and hates of modern football include the slippery concept of the 'Group of Death', describing teams as being 'on the beach' and the visceral thrill of a goalkeeper making a double save.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel also discuss swearing during live TV games, Alan Pardew's unexpected arrival at CSKA Sofia, and Theo Walcott inventing a whole new football cliché.
