Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Nick Miller meet for another Adjudication Panel. On the agenda this week: the most relatable piece of co-commentary ever recorded, Jonathan Pearce's one-man mission to get men back on the posts at corners, the phrase "six-pointer" goes into Europe and the campaign to start using the word "doubler" officially kicks off.
Meanwhile, the podcast's first-ever live caller tells the previously unheard story of how three teenagers, with a handful of 20ps and a copy of Championship Manager 97/98, almost turned the world of football transfers upside down.
