Has the Premier League hit peak “What a job [Manager X] is doing up/down there?”

Football Cliches

Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare, David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: more sub-standard depictions of football fans in advertising, football commentators’ names in Anglo-Australian crime dramas, the greatest substitution in the history of the Scottish Cup, the perennial joy of a stadium exclaiming something in perfect unison and a pedantic observation on Phil Foden's goal celebration.

Meanwhile, the panel ponder the question: is this the most “what a job [Manager X] is doing” Premier League season of all time?
