Accidentally patronising commentary, the Battle of the Big Dan B's & Keysey meets Piers

Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: Clichés catchphrases in unexpected places, Steve McManaman's accidentally patronising co-commentary, football's earliest proverbial Christmas present, the converging trajectories of Big Dan Burn and Big Dan Ballard, tinpot scenes at the Under-17 World Cup, Tuchel's England get ahead of a classic World Cup issue, and Piers Morgan joining forces with Richard Keys.

Meanwhile, the panel decide the tolerance limit for a big man/small man strike partnership and ask for YOUR help in voting for Football Clichés as the podcast of the year: vote.footballcliches.com
