Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker meet for the Adjudication Panel once again. In their in-tray this time: Professor Jonathan Van-Tam's lengthiest football analogy so far, Sean Dyche refusing to engage with the Premier League news cycle, Amazon Prime's refreshing commentary performances and why data can reveal the earliest moment a player should "take one for the team" with a red card.
Meanwhile, the panel ponder whether the word "zero" will ever climb alongside "nil" and "nothing" to find acceptance in English football.
