  • Cliches do Mesut Haaland Dicks: Adam, Charlie & Dave’s footballing loves & hates

    Cliches do Mesut Haaland Dicks: Adam, Charlie & Dave’s footballing loves & hates
    Dec 19 2024
    In a special edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, the Clichés team select some of their ultimate footballing fascinations and irritations. Among Adam, Charlie and Dave's selections are the enduring fallacy of relegation-threatened teams “fighting for their lives”, the theory behind the greatest lower-body aesthetic in football history, the haggard goalnets of midweek 5-a-side and the childish envy when new signings score on their debuts for your team's rivals. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel admire a strong end to 2024 for Richard Keys' blog and reveal the real scandal behind the rebooted European Super League concept.

    The blip-to-crisis benchmark, Comedy Central defending & Australian red card music
    Dec 17 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: a new term for slapstick defending, a historic day for Premier League manager sackings, more accidentally operatic BBC commentary, some dubious red-card stadium music in Australia and much more. Meanwhile, the panel decide when Manchester City's "blip" became a "slump" and then a full-blown "crisis" and discuss the reported successors to Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.

    Commentators sampled in experimental French pop & the ultimate generic multi-club ownership group
    Dec 12 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: Mick McCarthy on Steve Coogan playing him in a film, Charlton manager Nathan Jones takes on the weather, Martin Keown on the re-opening of Notre Dame, a curious injury league table from the BBC, Sky Sports commentators inexplicably sampled in experimental French electronica and a tautologous Spanish non-league club. Meanwhile, the panel try to identify the most finger-wagging player and compile their ultimate generic multi-club ownership group.

Top notch content!

Great to have the pod back, and with an unchanged lineup! New listeners in for a treat

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.

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.
