Self-appointed visitors, Carlo Ancelotti for England and Match of Day's canned laughter

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by David Walker and Charlie Eccleshare for the Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: whether Carlo Ancelotti is the most international team-y manager who’s never managed a national team, the difference between the midfield jobs of "sniffing out danger" and "putting out fires", some exquisitely-timed Match of the Day crowd noise and at what point a gap at the top of a league turns into a "procession".
Meanwhile, the panel decide if a team can ever call themselves "the visitors", and what leads can be "raced into" .
