In the first of an end-of-year double-header, Football Clichés takes another look at the podcast's very best moments of 2022, featuring:

Plausible parliamentary football chants with Sir Keir Starmer, Les Miserables meets Serie A, Andy Townsend in and around the Foo Fighters, The Future Turkish Super Lig XI, the true origin of the proverbial "farmers’ league", bringing the great James Richardson down to our pedantic level, living rent-free in Match of the Day commentators’ heads, Keys & Gray's favourite recipes, Maisie Adam goes top bins (for her sins), the ultimate Gary Neville megamix, Tim Vickery in the Zone of Elaboration, Ian Darke’s mid-90s WWF voice twin, a Clichés Quiz rollercoaster of niche knowledge, off-duty Peter Drury, Birds of a Feather, "no disrespect to egg", the strategic, net-busting importance of the village of Bagworth and the most disturbing football montage of the year.
