The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Charlie Eccleshare meet for another Adjudication Panel. The latest agenda features a salsa-flavoured cover of World in Motion, a definitive explanation of “the lion’s share of possession”, the very specific scenarios in which players do not “cover themselves in glory”, some premature festive co-commentary and the Vatican City’s FA Cup kicking off in earnest.

Meanwhile, the panel explore the humble sub-genre of self-deprecatory football chants, from the charming optimism of "we're gonna win 5-4" to Norwich's recent masterpiece, "How s*** must you be, we're drawing away."

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller revisit one of the cultural cornerstones of Premier League history and attempt to compile a line-up of mid-2000s talent that somehow never turned out for Sam Allardyce at the Reebok Stadium.

Ruffling the big clubs' hypothetical feathers are barrel-chested Danish internationals, semi-retired Iberian centre-halves, a highly functional midfield engine room, damaged goods at No 10 and a genuine warhorse up front.

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller bring you another instalment of the Adjudication Panel. This week's big questions include: Can a game be so bad that it gets both managers sacked? How late is it acceptable to say “this has got 0-0 written all over it”? And what precisely does a football match need to have “had everything”?

Meanwhile, the panel examine another classic slice of Weird Post-Match Pep Guardiola, explore the concept of the "midfield engine room" and one intrepid listener discovers the true, belly-dancing genius behind the Football Clichés podcast's theme tune
