41-year-old blokes playing for prime Barca, Ken Barlow’s terrace anthem, and the Sir Alex blessing

Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: Manchester United's legacy machine cranks into gear again, some confusion over the pronunication of Chelsea's new manager, a familiar sound in a mid-90s wrestling arcade game, unlikely common ground between River Plate and Coronation Street's Ken Barlow, a teacher breaks some football news to his class of Year 8s and a relatively deep data dive into Richard Keys’ lesser-known catchphrase.

Meanwhile, the panel decide the level of football at which they would simply be a hindrance to their team at right-back.
