“The Art of Defence is Dead” - Pete’s Damming Verdict on the Modern Game

As we enter the final third of the Premier League season, the tension is starting to build between the lads and it’s looking like it could go down to the wire with Pete and Sid’s after another disappointing weekend left them both bottom of the table on just 6 points a piece.


But before the lads jump straight into their predictions for this weekend, they give their say and reaction to the scores on the doors from last week. 


With so many goals been scored at all ends of the table, Pete calls into question what has happened to the art of defending in the modern game, and the lads explain just what they would do if they found themselves in a 1v1 against Mudryk if £10,000 was up for grabs. 


Looking ahead to this weekend, Crouchy, Chris and Sids give their predictions on how they think the Villa v Man Utd, Luton v Sheffield Utd and Wolves v Brentford games will pan out. 


Want to get involved in the weekend predictions with the lads? Leave your scores on the doors in the comments and any funny forfeit ideas you would like to see the lads perform at the end of this season!

  • Rice’s Red Card, Bonkers Bellamy and Starky’s Sh*thousery: That Peter Crouch Podcast

    41:00|
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris and Sids are back to it giving their hot take on all the biggest events in football over the past seven days. There were some big deadline day transfer news since the lads last got together and Pete gives his final say on whether Rice deserved to be sent off after THAT red card decision….Although there was less scores on the doors this weekend, it has made this race a lot tighter at the top, with Notorious and Chris now neck and neck on 9 points whilst Crouchy trails just one point behind in third place. With the international break now upon us, the cat has certainly been thrown and whilst Starky is still sh*thousing the rest of the lads asking for external help it’s safe to say this race could be blown wide open this weekend. The games the lads are giving their predictions on this week are Ireland v England, France v Italy and Wales v Turkey!

  • How To Become A Football Manager: That Peter Crouch Podcast

    01:00:03|
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Skiving Starky decides to make an appearance and join Pete and Notorious down the pub for a 101 session on how to make it as a football manager. But before all that, there is plenty for the boys to catch up on. Pete gives some fantasy football insights and the lads give their predictions for how the season will pan out for them and Chris gets the low down on the upcoming go-karting throwdown that is billed to happen between the boys. As well as the catch up, the lads dissect the different routes taken by both former and non-former players when it comes to becoming a manager. How the role of the player-manager has evolved since its heyday in the 90s and the difficulties faced by some when taking that leap into the world of Football Manager. Chumbawamba00:00 Introduction03:29 Dream Dinner Guests08:29 The Hand of God15:54 Player-Manager 22:38 The Transition25:56 Badges30:05 Learning Through Doing35:10 The Perfect Partnerships41:07 Recruitment46:06 Keeping it Real54:17 QuidditchSubscribe 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
  • ‘Everyone Should Be More Like Sven’ Peter’s Touching Tribute On Football Fridays

    32:57|
    It is a bittersweet record today for the lads, the first time they have been reunited since the news of the passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson - the man who gave Peter his big break on the international stage and universally admired by football fans around the globe. In another blow to Peter’s week, his football Friday predictions were again underwhelming to say the least, and his strong head start has been lost to none other than Starky himself.However, before Starky can start eyeing up the prize too early, the lads feel it necessary to have a stewards enquiry based on some of the external assistance he has been receiving in recent weeks. The lads also react to the recent transfer rumours that have been swirling ahead of deadline day before giving their predictions on this week’s upcoming games including, Man Utd v Liverpool, Brentford v Southampton and Chelsea v Palace!Want to get involved in the pod?

    47:25|
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the Notorious SID finds himself still enjoying the hospitality of the Crouch’s during their summer getaway whilst Starky is still nowhere to be seen…Today, the lads reflect on all their memorable team bonding experiences, from the good, the bad to the downright ugly. Crouchy reveals how one afternoon down the go-karting track changed his opinion of one very senior Liverpool players forever, and the lads reflect on why it is never a good idea to take Neil Warnock up on and invite to the bowling alley….We also discover why a well placed mannequin hand became one of the staples of fulham’s pre match routine during Sid’s tenure with the club, as well as a very surprising dream dinner line up from none other than ex Ireland ace Damien Delaney. ChumbawambaSubscribe 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
