The WORST Away Ends in Football & Crouch...

Tall or Nothing
About this episode

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are all recording remotely – and it shows. With Chris juggling kids, a house move, and a wife in A&E after a freak avocado incident, the lads start with sincere apologies to our listeners. 


(Chris’ audio improves after the 6 minute mark!)


From there, it’s classic chaos: Crouch’s dodgy pink headphones, festival stories, and the announcement of Pete’s a ridiculous forfeit…


The football chat gets lively with breakdowns of Liverpool’s comeback against Newcastle, predictions for Arsenal vs Liverpool, and reflections on stadium atmospheres – from dodgy sound systems to legendary announcers. The lads also go deep on traditions, Bovril vs modern food trends, and the unspoken bonds between fans who see each other every week but never exchange names.


Expect tangents on circular beds, waterbeds, half-time Coldplay gigs, and even hypothetical transfer “sliding doors” moments like Shearer at United or Gerrard at Chelsea.


It’s loose, funny, chaotic – and feels like being back in the pub with your mates.
