The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and George Caulkin examine the evolution of footballing outrage: from the backpass law to the 39th Game, from expected goals to players swapping shirts at half-time...and why poor, old Stockley Park has become the supposed resting place for football as we know it. But what exactly does "the game's gone" even mean?

They also discuss whether you can you ever be in "the final hour" of a match and, of course, the soap opera transfer merry-go-round.
