Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: The UK nightlife "sleeping giant", quickfire FA Cup sentiment at Plymouth Parkway, the Bellingham brothers are here to salvage the international-break content machine, Mauricio Pochettino’s perfectly-stocked Old Trafford in-tray, Joe Cole mangles his crowd-pleasing cliches, Wayne Rooney goes into the jungle, and some accidentally humble advertising hoardings at Oxford United.
