That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris get stuck into a week of unexpected football headlines, outrageous predictions and some VERY interesting family dynamics!

First up, the lads react to Sean Dyche's rather unexpected new Durex advertising campaign, before turning their attention to Sids' latest television appearance and his now legendary 'regards to your consortium' moment. Could the boys also have the ultimate Christmas party lined up, with an afternoon at the darts followed by Kasabian at the O2?!

We also discuss Cristiano Ronaldo's international retirement after an incredible 23-year career with Portugal. Is it time to retire his iconic number seven shirt, or should it be passed on to the next generation? Crouchy makes a HUGE prediction about whether anyone will ever beat Ronaldo's international goal record, and puts a rather permanent bet on the line if he's ever proved wrong!

Elsewhere, the lads get into England's latest squad selection, with the Bellingham brothers potentially making history by playing together for their country. Having played alongside brothers, cousins and even family members in football themselves, the boys debate whether having family on the pitch is a blessing or a recipe for disaster. We also hear about Robbie Savage's difficult afternoon watching his son Charlie score against his own team in a 5-0 defeat!

And there's plenty more, including the latest Premier League results, Peter Crouch's unlikely James Bond casting, the question of whether Holland should actually be called the Netherlands, and a brand-new Why The Football Not featuring a children's magician who managed to turn a birthday party into a live football viewing experience.

Plus, the lads discuss the unwritten rules of hiring a magician, debate whether football and family really do mix, and make their latest international football predictions.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined once again by the one and only Tom Fordyce, where we ask if a long ball is now officially a "successful launch"?! And what exactly is a football manager's philosophy supposed to mean?!

We also investigate the increasingly ridiculous world of football stewards, including why they're now warming up like professional athletes and whether they're actually capable of catching a pitch invader. Speaking of which, the lads make a VERY important request for the podcast's first-ever streaker...

There's plenty of football chat too, as the boys debate whether Brighton could genuinely mount a Premier League title challenge, discuss Arsenal's impressive performance against Liverpool and get stuck into Manchester United's ongoing struggles. Is the problem bigger than the manager, and can their new ownership consortium really turn things around? Meanwhile, Spurs fans finally have something to smile about as the lads discuss whether their season is about to really take off.

And, of course, there's the usual predictions, some questionable terminology and the introduction of a brand-new phrase that might just take over the football world... HOCKEY STICK, BANG!

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids are back to discuss Harry Kane's historic Ballon d'Or victory, the mounting pressure on Michael Carrick at Manchester United, and some surprising rumours surrounding Crouchy's potential involvement in buying a football club. Pete finally addresses speculation about his involvement in a football club takeover, revealing that he had been part of a consortium looking to invest in a club before the deal ultimately fell through. Naturally, Chris and Sids aren't letting him off lightly, as they interrogate Pete about his business ambitions, Abbey's potential involvement, and whether there's more to the story than he's letting on. The lads also turn their attention to Manchester United, where Michael Carrick finds himself under increasing pressure following another difficult run of results. Pete and Sids defend their former teammate, question the behaviour of certain players, and debate whether the problems at Old Trafford run much deeper than whoever happens to be sitting in the manager's chair. There's also a huge moment for English football as Harry Kane is crowned the world's best player after winning the Ballon d'Or. Pete reflects on Kane's incredible journey from Tottenham youngster to global superstar, reveals how his family celebrated the victory, and shares details of a memorable FaceTime call with Harry after the ceremony. Of course, Crouchy also finds a way to take some of the credit for Kane's success. Elsewhere, the boys tackle one of football's great moral dilemmas after a listener admits to watching Liverpool while his wife recovered from giving birth. This sparks a heated debate about football in the delivery room, questionable birthing playlists, and whether there's ever an appropriate time to play Salt-N-Pepa's 'Push It'. The lads also look back at another unpredictable weekend in the Premier League, with Spurs beating Chelsea, Aston Villa overcoming Manchester City, and Liverpool getting the better of Brighton. Attention then turns to the upcoming fixtures, including Liverpool against Arsenal and Chelsea against Manchester United, as the boys make their latest predictions. And as always, there's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense along the way. Pete manages to upset Chris by admitting he wasn't listening to him, the boys offer some questionable encouragement for a listener's football-filled lads' weekend, and a rather outrageous listener's XI brings the episode to a fitting conclusion. As always, leave your comments below and let us know whether you'd watch football in the delivery room, what you make of Michael Carrick's situation, and which football club you'd like to see Crouchy buy.

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete is calling in all the way from China, while Sids and Chris hold the fort in the Chumbawambar! After a 13-hour flight, a four-hour drive and a whirlwind trip that’s left Pete completely out of sync with the rest of the world, the lads get stuck into another week of football madness.

We debate the BIG question facing modern footballers: would you turn down a HUGE tax-free payday just to stay in the Premier League? From Oscar’s big-money move to China to the Saudi Pro League’s growing influence, the lads discuss ambition, loyalty and whether you can really blame players for taking the money.

Elsewhere, football really has gone mad, as the boys discuss referees using PHONES to show yellow and red cards. There’s also a look at Brighton’s emphatic 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace, before the lads revisit some of their biggest derby-day highs and lows. Pete remembers THAT North London derby comeback with Spurs, scoring at Goodison Park and the time his QPR side were absolutely battered by Arsenal.

And if you thought training sessions were always straightforward, think again. Pete reveals how Stoke managed to go 1-0 down during a training drill… against absolutely NO ONE. Add in a rather unusual taxidermy badger purchase and you’ve got another episode packed with stories, debates and plenty of nonsense.

Finally, we predict Chelsea vs Spurs, Aston Villa vs Manchester City and Liverpool vs Brighton… who’s backing who this weekend? Will Chris extend his lead? can Sids close the gap? and will Crouchy’s predictions save him from finishing rock bottom? Get involved in the comments and let us know your picks!

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are back answering YOUR ‘Ask Us Anything’ questions, and as always, things take a few unexpected turns!

We kick things off with a very special pep talk from LBC’s Tom Swarbrick, who gives the lads the ultimate speech ahead of Starky’s annual lads’ golf trip. Forget motivational speakers, this is all about freedom, friendship, and that first crack of the tin!

Then it’s straight into the usual madness, as a listener creates a football team inspired by vasectomies, Pete reveals he watched his dog’s operation in full surgical scrubs, and Sids reveals his best ever response to someone asking “do I know you from somewhere?”

The listeners have been bringing the HEAT this week, with questions covering everything from whether footballers should be forced to stay at one club for their entire careers, to ranking the lads’ Football League forfeits and whether the Premier League should introduce bonus points for big wins. We also find out which former teammates the boys would trust to represent them in court, debate whether Ref Cam is actually improving the game, and we discover Chris’s OUTRAGEOUS ostrich travel pillow.

The lads eventually catch-up remotely for this weekend’s predictions, with big calls on Leeds vs Manchester United, and plenty of debate about the latest football storylines. And finally, we round things off with ‘Why The Football Not’ - and it’s a belter.

Got a question for the lads? Drop it in the comments, and let us know whether you'd back the ostrich pillow or stick to a standard neck cushion. As always, like, subscribe, and we'll see you next week!
