Ask Us Anything: ‘Catfish’ Players Exposed! Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete dials in on his holidays and Sids is left holding the fort while Chris is away. The fans have taken over with their questions in an "Ask Us Anything" free-for-all! From wild hypotheticals to inside stories, the lads tackle it all.

Peter and Sids debate who would make the best strike partner between Tottenham legends Teddy Sheringham and Dimitar Berbatov, and things get creative as they decide who’d be easiest to tape to a lamppost… There’s also the heated question of which club has the loudest anthem – Delilah at Stoke or You’ll Never Walk Alone at Anfield?

Finally, Sids reflects on the quirks of footballer group chats, Crouchy shares his frustration with social media “catfish” players, and the lads wonder why long-range bangers have all but disappeared from the game. Expect plenty of laughs, some surprisingly serious takes, and a few answers you’d never expect!

Losing The Dressing Room: Team Turmoil & Biggest Donkeys?! Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris get real about one of the biggest turning points in a football manager's career… when they lose the dressing room.

We also delve into Aston Villa’s OUTRAGEOUS fines, sharing notes on the pitch, and send a call out to all of the managers out there - have you lost the office? Let us know in the comments and we can help you get it back!

Finally to top it all off, do we FINALLY have a paella for one?! Surely not…
