EP. 320 | Will a Spurs Trophy Mean a BETTER Season Than Arsenal?
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads go into one of the juiciest debates of the season — if Spurs win the Europa League… have they had a BETTER season than Arsenal? Pete, Sids and Chris weigh up silverware vs second place, and whether finishing runners-up in the league without a trophy holds a candle to lifting something in Europe — even if it comes with a 17th place finish. The Arsenal-Spurs dynamic is shifting, and the boys aren’t sitting on the fence. Away from the football, there’s plenty of nonsense… we get stories of seagull muggings in Cornwall, monkeys raiding hotel fridges, and Chris’ recent dolphin safari. Plus, one listener’s mum is not letting him attend Spurs’ potential big night, and the pod receives its first ever official fishmonger application. To top it all off, there's a very serious warning: never go full ‘Rod’ unless you’re medically cleared.

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.

EP. 314 | Has The False Nine Debate Gone TOO FAR?
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.

EP. 313 | Ashley Cole’s INSIDE Analysis: “He’s Got EVERYTHING to Succeed” - England’s Future Superstars?
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.

They go in hard on the Real Madrid vs Arsenal second leg (is a 3–0 lead ever really safe?), and things get juicy as they discuss behind-the-scenes bonus culture, Premier League moles, and who’s REALLY leaking stories at Spurs. Plus, is Mo Salah Liverpool’s greatest ever player? The debate rages on. Add to that the ultimate parent sports day drama, Portuguese Easter egg hunts, and some serious match predictions for the weekend. Get involved.
