Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker for the first Adjudication Panel of 2023. On the agenda: The administrative hurdles for stadiums being named after Pele, Goodison Park's first big boo of the year, a man who claims to have invented goalkeepers shouting "Away!" at corners, whether the concept of "gameweeks" is truly acceptable in mainstream football chat and Richard Keys' first niche complaint of 2023.

Meanwhile, the panel attempt to define the footballing phrase "there or thereabouts" and decide who will be next on the Gary Neville's Soccer Box sofa.
