Description

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and James Maw convene for another extended session of the Adjudication Panel, where they enjoy a strong candidate for the most aurally-pleasing goal of 2021, speculate on how and where Gareth Southgate saves his England squad list, and take a deep dive into just how a footballing "Matt" becomes a "Matty".
There is also the bizarre backstory to one of the greatest football club nicknames of all time, a brief history of footballers on LinkedIn and the definitive discussion on what constitutes a "consolation goal".
