Description

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker gather for the Adjudication Panel. On the agenda this week: Phil Jones finally gets his deserved (and very detailed) revenge on the keyboard warriors, why Alan Smith has been using the word "footover" on Sky Sports since at least 2014, and your tales of distinctly PG-rated matchday outbursts at players and referees.
Meanwhile, the panel tackle the very precise punditry sub-genre of "talking about a player as they warm up before a televised game” and identify a curious pattern to the Super Sunday irritations of Roy Keane.
