The Adjudication Panel: Big nutmegs, premature pacesetters & footballing disciples

Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: The strangest way yet of expressing how young Brighton's manager is, a factual footballing catastrophe on an episode of Casualty, the most Peter Drury way of describing a player's pre-season performances, pre-game punditry wisdom and a curious story about Ajax's 1995 Champions League-winning team.

Meanwhile, the panel decide when a team can be described as a division's "pacesetters" and who can be a "disciple" of an influential coach.
