Description
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Michael Cox navigate their way around the language of the football pitch, from the fabled "mixer" to the sovereign state of "James Ward-Prowse territory". How big is a "pocket of space"? How exactly does a goalkeeper find themselves in "no man's land"? And will football ever go fully metric?
They also discuss whether "cheese slice" is ever an acceptable way to describe a yellow card and precisely what constitutes "rolling back the years", before Charlie and Michael go head-to-head in the latest instalment of "Out Of Control".
