Portrait-aspect football & England managers in the stands: The listeners' loves & hates (feat. Chloe Petts)

Listen on

Episode notes

Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker are joined by returning special guest Chloe Petts to entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations.

Among the selections are how football improves our basic maths, players' pointless pre-match Instagram content, a half-time dad joke from an Evertonian, the overrated significance of the England manager attending a game, the "portraitification of football" and late substitutes being named man of the match.

Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel learn more about the possible origins of the "magic of the FA Cup".
