That Peter Crouch Podcast

This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, the Friday Edition, Pete, Sids, and Chris serve up some fresh football takes, and nipple cream controversy as they unpack Sid’s London Marathon, chaotic VAR decisions, and the bizarre world of stadium announcer catchphrases. Fresh from running 26.2 miles, Sids brings medal-in-hand reflections on the sheer madness and magic of the marathon, with touching shout-outs from fans, and revisiting the surprise phone call from John Terry during the recent live stream where he revealed his own nipple struggles mid-run. The lads also reflect on their first-ever livestream watchalong (think Gogglebox meets CrouchFest) and dream up where it could go next — Boxpark half-time shows, anyone? Elsewhere, they dive into Liverpool's dominant win, the TNT “False Two” launch, and Klopp's potential return. There's also talk about Cheavon Clarke’s recent trolling of Spurs in their own stadium, thunderous nicknames at Leeds, and the most iconic stadium shouts in the UK. It’s football analysis, marathon madness, and complete nonsense… all in a day’s pod.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are knee-deep in Championship chaos as Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into the beautiful unpredictability of the Play-Offs. They explore what makes this stage of the season the most thrilling—and brutal—event in English football. With firsthand stories from their own careers, including Crouchy’s brief stint at Norwich, to Sid’s heartbreak at Brighton, they discuss how the psychological rollercoaster of the Play-Offs impacts clubs, fans, and players alike. From debating whether staying in the Championship is actually more fun than promotion, to reminiscing on iconic moments like Troy Deeney’s miracle goal and Bobby Zamora’s last-gasp winner, the episode blends nostalgia, insider insight, and hilarious tangents—including sandwich debates, shared lawn feuds, and the real meaning behind "gulf in class." Whether you're a football purist or just in it for the playoff mayhem, this episode delivers everything you love about the pod—laughs, heart, and a serious nod to what football means beyond the pitch.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids dive in with some pre-marathon chat, as Sids gears up for the London Marathon with a torn calf and a point to prove. The lads rally behind him and address what turned out to be a not-so-accurate slogan—‘Quid for Sids’ (actually a fiver). They unpack this week’s outrageous Premier League predictions, the form of teams like Liverpool and Arsenal, and what’s going on at Chelsea and Spurs. Plus, wild tangents ensue—from Jamie Vardy memes, to middle-seat van etiquette, to a riotous reinvention of football jargon with concepts like ‘false one’ and ‘fraudulent five’. It’s classic chaos, with hot takes on Harry Maguire up front, Rimmel London’s football insight (kind of), and just enough stats to keep it somewhat legit. Chumbawamba  00:00 – Introduction to the Friday Pod 01:08 – Sids reveals calf tear just weeks before the marathon 03:05 – Sids commits to running the marathon despite injury 05:14 – Crouch, Chris & Sids’ Premier League predictions 09:18 – Arsenal’s Champions League chances—real or hype? 11:14 – Faking Liverpool winning the title… sort of 13:12 – Championship drama and promotion praise 19:04 – Crouch on Harry Maguire: “Get him up front!” 24:10 – Ridiculous predictions for Liverpool v Spurs 31:12 – Neutral stand?

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, something totally unexpected happens—Ashley Cole drops in for an impromptu visit while out in Portugal with Crouchy, catching the lads completely off guard! With Chris still away and sunning himself on a well-earned holiday, and Sids dialing in from the Chumbawum-bar, this one turns into an unplanned but surprisingly insightful deep dive. Ashley shares his behind-the-scenes coaching insight from his time with England's U21s, analysing the most exciting young players in English football right now—including Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Morgan Gibbs-White—explaining what separates arrogance from confidence in the next generation.  The group also debates whether the Championship-to-Prem gap is now impossible to cross, and whether the so-called ‘mid-table’ teams are actually leveling up faster than you think… Oh, and it wouldn’t be a classic Pod without a bit of chaos: limbs chat, golf games, and an eBay XI that nobody asked for featuring David “Buy Now” and Erik Ten Haggle. As ever, absolutely no structure, but loads of laughs.
