On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris and Sid’s are all back together down the Chumbawambar discussing all the highs and lows that have happened in this week’s world of football. 

The lads give their reaction to the speedy appointment of Amorim at the helm of Manchester United, as well as whether he would be wise to keep Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the fold after his near perfect performances as caretaker managers. 

With a continued dominant performance at the top of the table, Chris has extended his lead over a languishing 3rd place Sids - whose arse has well and truly gone - and he looks hopeful at finishing the year in top spot.

Before heading into this weekend’s predictions, the lads give their views on the short lived blueys that were almost brought into the beautiful game, and Crouchy reminisces on the time Mourinho tried to entice him back to Tottenham. 

Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, the lads give their predictions on the Chelsea v Arsenal, West Ham v Everton and Man Utd v Leicester games which all promise to be full of drama and have great potential to upset our own leaderboard.

On this week’s Friday edition of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Sids are left holding the fort again without Chris, who’s off on a family holiday. But Chris still manages to stir the pot, sending in his Premier League predictions. As usual, the guys tackle the big questions and make some bold calls on match outcomes for the weekend’s most anticipated fixtures—highlighting an upcoming clash between Manchester United and Chelsea…

The lads dive into the recent “Ballon d’Or” controversy, and the surprising no-show from Real Madrid players. They even explore the “new manager bounce” potential for Manchester United, as well as speculate on some iconic names who might be up for the role.

Sids is flabbergasted by some attempted entertainment, and an ice cream truck causes quite possibly one of the funniest moments on the podcast! Finally, we check-in on the “Hand of Pod” as it begins its global journey from a local pub to none other than… next to the Ballon d’Or!

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!

On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris and Sids are in the Chumbawam-bar, reacting to the BOMBSHELL news that Thomas Tuchel has been appointed the new England manager

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.

The lads, who’ve been there before, share firsthand examples of managers letting it slip, as well as the ripple effect this has on team morale, communication, and performance. Senior players hold incredible sway, and their support (or lack of it) can make or break a manager’s fate.

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…
