On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids kick back with a glass of cognac as they dive into some of your listener messages.
From awkward handshakes and cultural greeting rituals to the ultimate pub chat: could a relegation playoff transform the Premier League? The lads unpack a genius listener suggestion for turning end-of-season misery into box office gold.
They also spotlight a football league where weight loss adds goals, discuss the tragicomic reality of football freestyle stars not making it pro, and weigh in on Arsenal’s growing rep for “Spursiness.” There’s a heartfelt moment too, as a listener shares how Chris’s cancer story helped during his own diagnosis—reminding everyone to check their balls.
With a powerful mix of humour, nostalgia, and top-tier pub debate, this is a classic “messages” episode—and maybe the start of a Premier League revolution.
