Description

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and - for his 100th appearance on the pod - David Walker. On the agenda: the specific footballing skills referenced most in football chants, what constitutes being "held to a draw" and a revolutionary but unacceptable usage of the oldest football cliché of all.
Meanwhile, the panel consider the merits of "the Maracana of skiing" and weigh up the fundamental footballing differences between a "carthorse" and a "donkey".
