Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Nick Miller are joined by comedian, writer and Bristol City fan Mark Watson for the first in a new series we are tentatively calling 'Mesut Haaland Dicks'
Mark chooses three things he love about football and three things he palpably dislikes about football and we all have a thoroughly nice time chatting about it. Think of a cross between Desert Island Discs and MOTD's 2 Good, 2 Bad and you've got the idea.
There is also discussion of Gary Neville's increasingly pervasive groaning noises when penalties are given, Piers Morgan bringing the phrase 'a wet Wednesday night in Stoke' into the royal arena and a nearly-very-good-but-still-not-quite-right footballing analogy from Professor Jonathan Van Tam.
