Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: Diego Forlan as the most "tennis" footballer of modern times, some 8/10 football small talk on Coronation Street, the Premier League's ominous plans to tweet out VAR explanations in real time, the end of an era for the BBC and Garth Crooks, a superb fan-vs-player argument from non-league and Paul Merson's Strictly unveiling.

Meanwhile, the panel reflect on some early teething problems for Sky's blanket EFL coverage and field the first-ever correspondence from a listener in Madagascar.
