Meanwhile, the panel weigh up an intriguing "ketchup bottle" metaphor for ending a goal drought, rate Joseph Fiennes' Gareth Southgate voice and speculate what the "sting" is that gets "taken out of the game".

The Adjudication Panel: Four-star Haaland & the most elaborate football analogy in modern politics

The pod welcomes Gary Lineker for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Match of the Day host and England legend chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football.
Among Gary's selections are his growing curiosity about expected goals, the psychology of penalty shootouts, the death of strikers rounding goalkeepers, a not-so-radical solution for quick free kicks, overindulgent TV slow-motion replays and the futile duty of pre-match interviews with managers.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel bemoan the misuse of "high-flying" for teams who don't need it and ask Gary a very important question about a Match of the Day tradition.
