The pod welcomes AwayDays Youtube supremo Ellis Platten for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as he chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football. Among Ellis's selections are football fans with their first names printed on the back of their shirts, random football shirts popping up in unexpected places, the dubious criteria of the ongoing FootyScran project and, quite simply, everything about fantasy football. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel weigh up if a goalkeeper can be a "passenger", wonder how Alan Shearer became involved in the US presidential race, and enjoy the name of a football competition popping up in a 1970s RnB classic.
