That Peter Crouch Podcast
Slipping into the Weekend - That Peter Crouch Podcast
The pod with no name is back this week with a very special guest….Joleon Lescott!
We review how the lads did with their previous score predictions and Joleon is on hand to help Chris avoid making any outrageous shouts such as his triple 3-0 predictions last week.
The lads also put down their predictions for some of the big games this weekend, including; Liverpool v Spurs, Everton v Luton and Newcastle v Burnley. The boys have also joined forces with Paddy Power who have given us the odds on some of lads latest predictions and some inspiration for the lads on how they can supercharge the Christmas forfeits.
Enjoy!
