  • Capos, club mentalities & calculating England's actual years of hurt: The listeners' loves & hates

    Capos, club mentalities & calculating England's actual years of hurt: The listeners' loves & hates
    Jun 5 2024
    Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Nick Miller entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations. Among the selections are the "capo" (the one who conducts the Ultras chants with his back to the game), the joy of just kicking a football right up into the air as high as possible, clubs who have a generation-spanning “mentality” attributed to them, the horrifying split-second when the ball is passed out of frame during a TV game and - once and for all - just how many “years of hurt” it has technically been for England. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel reflect on yet another skincrawling moment for footballspeak in the political sphere and pick apart the mandatory pre-tournament custom of team-by-team guides.

  • The Adjudication Panel: Mourinho in Turkey, 71 billion calories & a football club every 2.24 seconds

    The Adjudication Panel: Mourinho in Turkey, 71 billion calories & a football club every 2.24 seconds
    Jun 3 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined by David Walker and Nick Miller for the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: Adam Lallana squeezing in the phrase "football club" three times in just 6.8 seconds, Gareth Bale declaring himself the last piece of Real Madrid's mid-2010s jigsaw, a former Chelsea captain popping up in The Wire, un-highlights-able sports and a very brief history of England's pre-tournament warm-up games. Meanwhile, the panel enjoy the inevitable development that was Jose Mourinho to Fenerbache and decide if you can declare a tournament's "surprise package" in advance.

  • Clicheship Years: 2023/24

    Clicheship Years: 2023/24
    May 30 2024
    With the curtain now closed on the domestic season, Football Clichés takes another look at the podcast's very best moments of 2023/24. In the style of the bafflingly beloved Premier League Years, this review features: A protracted summer transfer saga, the Pure La Liga XI, the finer technicalities of “ghosting in”, the birth of quiz format Happy Hunting Grounds, Gary Neville's unexpected Squid Game cameo, Eddie Howe being Eddie Howe, washing machines that sound like referees, The 'How Did [Player X] Never Play for [Club Y]?' XI, goalscoring chances that get "gobbled up", the Clichés Quiz taking on podcasting all-comers, the complex sovereignty of James Ward-Prowse territory, Andy Gray’s pretend conversations, "Gary Del Neil" and a long-awaited visit from Gary Lineker. The Football Clichés pod will continue throughout the summer, including Euro 2024 and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Amazing to have the pod back

great to have an unchanged adjudication panel- but the new cover doesn’t look great. Loving it so far.

Quality Podcast

What's not to like? I'm glad they've restarted on here, I've been a long time listener on Google Podcasts... for my sins.
