Some would say the Pals are overqualified when it comes to discussing sport, not to mention women's sports and, more specifically, the cross-cultural experiences of working class British Indian Punjabi Sikhs.

Perhaps, finally, we'll also settle the age-old debate: is it soccer or foot-Pal?

Get bent, pals!
