On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids take a hilariously chaotic deep dive into how football has evolved — from Sunday League chaos to Pep-inspired tactical revolutions. The lads debate how analytics, player freedom, and “DNA” have changed the game forever, reminiscing about the days when defenders could “absolutely destroy” someone without a hundred cameras watching.


Expect sidetracks galore — from Center Parcs chaos, dodgy camera angles, and “missionary” score predictions to the invention of Crouchy’s Skill of the Week. There’s also a serious football chat about how big clubs influence playing styles, why corners are “ruined forever,” and how long throws are making a comeback.


To top it all off, the boys pitch their next big idea: turning their paint colours into reality… any paint companies out there fancy it?

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
