On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris dive head-first into the biggest football flashpoint of the weekend — Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-match comments.
The lads break down exactly what he said, what he meant, and why this moment could signal a major turning point in his relationship with Liverpool. From dressing-room dynamics to how senior players should handle being benched.
The boys also react to the World Cup 2026 group draw, sharing their early predictions, fears, and inevitable chaos ahead of the tournament.
There’s also an emotional fan-gift reveal, nostalgic tales of Jose Enrique’s shoes, surprise cameos from a dubiously named road, and a proper Premier League roundup including Arsenal-Villa madness, Chelsea-Everton history, Palace-City patterns, and more.
What do you make of Salah’s interview? And how are we feeling about England’s route to 2026?
