The pod welcomes comedian Vittorio Angelone for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as he chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football.

Among Vittorio's selections are a passionate defence of classical music's influence on football, a brief history of goalkeepers in caps, the sort-of rise and fall of front-flip throw-ins, vanishingly small modern shinpads and players who performatively avoid walking on club badges in the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel enjoy some slightly unnecessary match-report ridicule for Everton's misfiring Thierno Barry and an unprecedented VAR-fuelled crowd noise at Anfield.
