Football Fridays: Crouchy’s FPL woes, Super Steve Sidwell and A Bunch of Horny Crickets

On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy and Sid’s are flying solo as Chris takes a very well deserved vacation in Sunny Spain but fear not we still have his predictions! 


Crouchy blew his 3 point lead straight out the blocks this weekend after Steve Predictswell had an unbelievable 6 pointer with 2 correct scores for the Villa and Man City games

However, after the integrity of the Friday podcast was called into question numerous times last year due to the lads frequently unable to get more than 1 or 2 points, have we finally turned a corner? Listen to today’s predictions to find out! 


And its not all just predictions, the lads give their take on Vardy’s housery against Tottenham last weekend, Peter’s poor play on the pod’s FPL, and hang around to find out more about Peter’s obsession with horny holiday crickets.

  • ‘It was the Hardest Thing I’ve Had to Do’ Crouchy and Sid’s Talk CHALLENGES!

    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Chris has done a runner to catch his son’s first nativity play and has left Crouchy and Sids flying solo - as they talk preparation for their upcoming go karting showdown next week. The Karting challenge, which was born out of Sids throwing down the gauntlet to ‘challenge Bridgey’ got the lads thinking about some of the toughest challenges they have faced in their careers, both on and off the pitch. The lads discuss the early pressures of dedicating your life to being a footballer as your mates hit the town on the lash, proving your worth when breaking into first team squads and the mental toll that being sidelined through injury can have on a player. The lads also discuss how they now find themselves challenging their own children and the next generation to get the best out of themselves and the different challenges this new wave of athletes face compared to them. Chumbawamba00:00 Introduction05:02 Pod Admin07:29 Go-Karting12:30 Life Post Football19:18 Toughest Matches 24:07 Sacrifices28:39 Instinct32:07 Family life37:09 Listener MessagesSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast
