New: Football Clichés

The first embers of a game, heavy-metal Jonathan Pearce & the Andy Gray of lacrosse

Listen on

Episode notes

Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the first Adjudication Panel of 2025. On the agenda: Richard Keys and Dwight Yorke disagree over Harry Maguire's 0.62xG miss, Don Goodman invents a new mid-game mini time period, Jonathan Pearce sounding like Axl Rose, a never-before-uttered animal analogy for a veteran goalgetter, a perfect hat-trick of Andy Townsending, Ange Postecoglou's barely-contained rage, a barman who has memorised every Premier League result ever and some familiar-sounding lacrosse commentary from the US.

Adam's book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom: How to Use (and Abuse) The Language of Football, is OUT NOW: https://geni.us/ExtraTimeBeckons
