Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and James Maw. On the agenda: an unprecedented twist on the "knowledgeable crowd", a listener spots something in the Match of the Day intro, Michael Owen's semi-ironic new era, some exquisite football pedantry in the case of the FA vs Lucas Paqueta, a never-before-considered research project into Premier League draws, the most “cat amongst the pigeons” goal ever and which team is most strongly associated with a badge in the middle of their shirt.
