Answering Your HILARIOUS Messages, Why Amorim Needs A Chance & Predicting Merseyside Derby Drama...

0:28Hello and welcome to that Peter Crouch podcast. and I swear one of them, it flipped, done a spin, and then I caught it in my legs and carried on for a little bit. I would love to have seen you on a line bike with a suitcase in your basket. Yeah. I would love to have seen it. Yeah, I was getting some stairs, and the one thing that really got me was, for one part of it, or the end part, it got really like the line bike is like an electric bike, and it just started to become heavy. I'm thinking, why? Is the battery going on this or something? Looked on the app, and I'm in the red zone. I didn't know about this.

1:00but when you're in the red zone, you can't park. Okay. Or it must be, if you leave it there, you must get charged a big, I don't know, or a fine, I don't know. So I had to drive back out of the red zone, which was about a mile. Sounds like an NFL game. Yeah. In the red zone. Someone threw a flag in. Linebacker in the red zone. Anyway, I got out of this red zone, got on the DLR, and then got into the end zone. Oh yeah, you stayed in the end zone. Got it. And then it was to Amsterdam, wasn't it? And then to the dam. so yeah eventful yeah I was there for a couple of days yeah everything sorted out with work and everything work was great I know you were there in a work capacity no it was yeah we had a couple of good lunches meeting some clients and new clients and then yeah we had a little double in the dam did you?

1:45well not in the red light but red zone not the red zone no we're in the red zone we was in the daily zone

1:55so yeah so it was eventful so I missed Owen but you did he was great he's cool isn't he he had these back onto front he's good lad he got a big reaction that podcast funnily enough actually I think it was good just getting getting into stuff with him I had a message from Owen actually just thanking us for coming on and he just sent me a picture of a text message he had about the episode from Steve Nash oh yeah yeah it's a brilliant just listening to you on the Crouchy podcast brilliant mate just talked about the buy-in hope everything's good with you but yeah Steve Nash what the Steve Nash the Steve Nash yeah whoa MVP wow big reach out friend of the pod Steve Nash you don't know who's listening do you Steve Nash Unai Emery like they're just randomly pop up occasionally don't they you just don't know do you Pete's huge congratulations in order as well in other podcast news again Steve Sidwell quite the week he's had Amsterdam and then saw you were paraded round at Fulham I saw this shit of honour this was a quiet one you didn't tell us What was it?

2:59So I asked a big massive round of applause. What was it for? Yeah, I got a... It's really good, actually. They do a thing at Fulham called Forever Fulham. And I think if you play over 100 appearances, they try and get old players back, treat them out for the day, up in the cottage, take friends or family. And then I actually didn't know. You go on the pitch at half-time and they present you with this trophy or little award. Lap of honour. Applaud the fans. And then away you go. so do you get the keys to the cottage or I don't know what you get forever Fulham I'm going to try and get as much out of it as I can in class wouldn't it imagine the it's like the cottage becomes a timeshare for the legends of Fulham just go and stay there some evenings with Airbnb in the cottage so it was nice so what was nice though was my little girl she's 10 she missed the back end of my career really the boys see it and they've been mascots and so she'd come out she was on the pitch which was lovely and she loved it she absolutely loved it it was on TV so they put it on Sky as well so she was famous so she's walked into school today really happy oh mate that's really good it was a nice day it was a nice touch they really looked after us down there and it's always nice to go down to the college I've got to say the game was awful Fulham Leeds it was a bad bad game was it Tommy threw that OG yeah did you see that in that game yeah he didn't even know about it have you seen the OG his head was mad a little crazy yeah you got a couple of shout outs as well Crouchy I was watching the I was watching the Southampton Portsmouth game oh yeah and yeah they mentioned you a few times well there's not many that play for both bit of a feisty one a feisty one feisty but I remember scoring a pen in the FA Cup Southampton against Portsmouth but yeah listen great clubs great game that one they said it was the first 0-0 in 100 years that game was it really yeah in that you see the managers at the end yeah he looks a bit angry Will Steele does he all the time I kind of like it he's got a sort of another angry ginge swagger isn't it yeah angry ginge did you just say yeah I know there's already someone that's taken that name there we go big game how was your weekend Donny races I was at Doncaster Racecourse obviously lots of people who enjoy the podcast made themselves known on that one it's all the phones they hold out the phones yeah you know, regards to your families, but shin pads, question mark, all the normal, all the normal stuff there.

5:31All the great stuff. And then Sunday, I had a classic sort of me day, barbecuing all day, back in anger. I've not done it for a little bit. Lamb shoulder on one barbecue, chicken shawarma on the other. I had one hand doing this over there, the other hand on there, like it's some ribs, toeing the ribs there. I had it all on the go, you know. Did you? Yeah, I did, yeah. Proper barbecue Sunday, Super Sunday Super sesh Some good football as well Which we'll get into Scored some huge points We'll talk about that In a little bit Did you notice boys As well just before we Properly get into this podcast Because I think it's going to be A bit different today Because we did have a guest book For today Didn't we Pulled out Quite last minute Just on the day here Yeah But obviously he's a free agent And apparently he's got We're not going to say who No I'm going to say who was Yeah Let's play a little game See if you can get it But yeah He's basically got a club he's training with the club today it's one of those you can't turn down I didn't know he was a free agent I thought this guest had retired I thought he'd retired so I don't remember seeing an official statement coming out but he's obviously been dragged back in yeah yeah definitely you'd like to think it's not just for a day a session for a day it must be a couple of days so I've got to look at him and vice versa see if he likes it as well well it got me thinking about that like a free agent situation you know like so i googled um free agents at the moment it's crazy because you were free agents right yeah but you um you kind of like it wasn't that you didn't you weren't i knew where i was going yeah like yeah i think there's a difference between leaving leaving the club on as a free agent but knowing where you're going because it's, you know, there's been discussions and, you know, like the contract's probably near enough done rather than being a free agent sitting on the sofa at home waiting for a phone call not knowing.

7:30That's hard. That must be a difficult place to be. Really bad. Yeah. Especially towards the latter stages or the mid to latter stages of your career considering that you've been in football probably since you've left school. It's all what you've done and all of a sudden now it's like, wow. It's a bit like being single after a breakup. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? You start taking on new hobbies and... I don't know where you are and stuff. Like, you feel like you've lost purpose or... I don't know. Like, I was looking at it, right? Patrick Bamford's one, friend of the pod. Yeah. Is he really?

8:01Yeah. Oxlade-Chamberlain. Oh, my gosh. Right. Tommy Asu. Serge Reguil. Josh De Silva. Ziyech. Hakim Ziyech. Hakim Ziyech. Yeah. Some names on here, you know, like... Emmanuel Dennis. Jamal Lewis. So they're literally all out of a contract, sitting there waiting, just doing some training at home, going to the gym or... Is it that one way? If you're in a position, I'm assuming some of these want to be free agents, might want to be in this position, are happy to wait for an offer. But if you're in that frustrated position of wanting to play for a club, can you contact clubs yourself? Yes. What, whilst you're in the last year of your career?

8:48I guess in this free agent sort of zone, is it done and accepted to contact clubs? Yeah, well, you're rolling the dice because I'm assuming there's two ways you're looking at it, which is what you said there. The one is probably the first one where you don't want to become a free agent in terms of you'd rather have a club lined up rather than just sit there and wait. Or you've got the one where you'll go into the last year of your contract, rolling the dice that you're going to get somewhere because obviously that might be more financial to you to leave on the free because they haven't got a pair of fee or you can pick and choose where you want to go.

9:21Yeah. But you're right. Yeah, you can contact the clubs, I'd imagine, in secret. You can't do it like officially, could you? Not if it's like a club. No, if you're still contracted to a club. Foreign clubs you can, right? You can speak to foreign clubs. Yeah. In January. But you are rolling the dice. But then the player that was going to be on this podcast today was a player that was playing Premier League last season, right? probably we're not totally sure on this maybe said he was retired but because it was so recent a club's suddenly gone actually second wind and then the way it was put to us in a text message was he's off training with them so is there a bit of this kind of like you go to training for a week and all the play you just join in and see how does this bit work this is the bit I always find strange you know like I remember having a few triadists over the years certainly under Harry I'm not joking we had a triadist every other week honestly there was someone you coming in you'd be sitting with them random player some you recognised some you didn't and that could be from anywhere anywhere in the world from players all over the world or even lower league yeah that's just gone come in we'll have a little look at you I remember we had one at Villa came in childless wise and it's so funny come in with these like mad boots on he had to have his glasses on and he just the way he was talking was just like he was a fan you know like he wasn't keeping his head down or anything oh no so he's walking out and he's going rah man there's Dublin no way he goes nah there's Dublin

11:01I can so picture that oh it's stalling it's stalling look a true fan literally that's the way he's talking Crouch what are you saying I was going wow he must have been from the lower league surely oh no it's unreal he had David's glasses on and everything and nah nah he wasn't got found out he got found out very quickly I couldn't believe it I just didn't know how that happened yeah you know he felt like the way he was talking was just like he'd just been plucked off from nowhere you know but I don't know maybe someone had seen him play and said get him down normally you get it as well where the manager knows the player do you know what I mean so whether the manager would have managed him previously or in a club and then the players on a free and needs to just get fit and they go, listen, we'll help you out.

11:54Just come in, train, get a bit of fitness and when you get a trial somewhere then you can go out. That happens quite a bit, especially in the lower leagues as well. I remember Bex, Bex trained with us at Tottenham. Yeah. He was training with us for about two weeks, yeah. I think it was because he was in the MLS. That's right. It was a weird one like seeing him in the Tottenham kit. He trained at Arsenal. Did he train at Arsenal as well? Arsenal for a bit as well, yeah. I was at Tottenham when he trained with us. I remember that. Because the MLS shut down, wasn't it? It was like their end of season and he was still playing for England at the time.

12:26Keeping fit to play for England, yeah. Then how much do you embrace him? Does he just get involved the same as all of you? It does feel a bit strange. No, no, he trained with us. Yeah, he trained with us. But then you're working on shape and stuff like that. Yeah, he wouldn't be involved in that. He'd be involved in the five sides so he wouldn't do any of the tactical stuff he'd go in then but he'd do a lot of the fitness work on his own as well but he'd be involved in the boxes or a little possession or five sides still a class act as well that is weird though some player did he look good in the Tottenham stuff he did yeah I remember him I remember him I can see it now the light blue yeah the light blue you can google it definitely some pictures of him training with us obviously the you know the people outside the training ground went off a little bit when he was there as well I can imagine yeah so we can do do you think there's a bit of legs in this for a free transfer I think there's a podcast in this definitely I think we should get someone on who's in this position it's something that I'd like to try and cover properly you know like what does that feel like to be in that position like it's almost like you're out of work you know you're in between jobs yeah speaking free agent is this Harry hello

13:46I looked like I was really busy and then he just hung up didn't this happen with you with Burnley then weren't you because that sort of came from we should ignore that who was it I have no idea I just thought I don't know what I'll answer it could be funny and yeah it was they just hung up on me red buttoned me were you in a bit of a gap weren't you with with burley gap yeah uh um with harry no no i've never i've never been at kind of in that position like i've i don't think i ever really ran my contract down more than more than two years seriously i don't think i had yeah like i'd always had another two years left really until i got right to the end but even then i was signing two years really yeah so I don't like I never got in that position yeah so you've always had that sense of security yeah but like in some ways that's good in some ways you know because if you want to leave or something like that obviously you haven't really got the the power yeah but two years is kind of perfect well no see I just do you know it was one of those things like when I first started with football I didn't really think about the contract at all like it was all about the football really and my dad and my agent kind of took care of of that I just wanted to be I actually wasn't that bothered as long as I had a contract that I was playing football.

15:08Obviously, you know, you look at the certain terms of it and stuff, but I never looked at the length of the contract. I kind of just rely on the people around me to provide the best platform to play. I don't know how aware you were, Sid, of the length of the deal. Yeah. I think you were aware of it when you first signed because obviously you know what you've signed four years, three years, And then, yeah, just going quickly on my one, the two that I left on a three, I knew I was leaving on a three to go to Chelsea from Reading that whole season. And then the second one, I was actually trying to renegotiate a deal with Fulham to stay.

15:50It was the year we got relegated and different managers, and in the end it got too late and it was like a decision to be made. But yeah, the worst thing is when it comes out and it sort of says, you've been released but you haven't been released right yes do you know where it comes on Sky News like club players that leave oh you don't want to see that do you no so that was a bit of like oof oof oof obviously you haven't yeah and then I went to Stoke from Fulham again I knew I was going to probably go to Stoke the last two months of the season so yeah but how would you feel Chris you know what I mean like you say you're on a free now and you know heart 90s have come in it's always it's always these it is good though isn't it it's always these no what radio station and what magic are interested are they magic have come in it's tricky isn't it who are the big guns these days obviously capitals capitals the biggest doesn't get bigger yeah are you like that's music heritage we're massive well we are so have you got any rivals give me the wink give it a wink oh you've been a bigger have you taken them to the next level that's what I want to know we've had this chat we had a chat when I started right so let's just put let's just let's put ourselves in your shoes let's just say you've run your contract out of capital yeah they've just gone thanks good luck for the rest of the rest of your life and okay so my first question would be if I wanted to stay my first question to them and I don't know if it's the same with what you boys do do you go back to the club at that point and go like do you not fancy one more one more spin does it ever come from the player see what I mean or do they just say look we're not renewing after this one I'd say more so it's the club that will release the player yeah that's yeah that's the case yeah okay so let's say capital have said why you know you've done an incredible job by the way you know yeah we're sad to see you go but We have to part ways.

17:59For our own reasons, whatever, could be new management at the club, whatever it is. Yeah. So this, this happens in May. I get it. So you have the whole of the summer, sitting on the sofa, waiting for the phones. You're keeping yourself fit. I don't know if you wait. Yeah, you're, yeah, absolutely are. You're keeping yourself fit. Like you're, you know, you're regularly like going in and talking down a microphone. Yeah, exactly. You're, you're playing songs on your car radio and just talking in between, you know, just to get that same sort of keep match fit. You're waking yourself up at four o 'clock in the morning, you know, just travelling into Leicester Square for, just for the, you know, to make sure you can still, still do it.

18:36Yeah. Still physically. Um, that's the extent of my job really. Um, but, but then, yeah, you're right. It's interesting because then you, I guess what you really want is another big club to come in. Don't you? Who are tricky? Who's the biggest? Well, outside of capital. I mean, obviously I was at, I was at one before. I kind of like the idea that you know things change throughout your career as well so maybe I don't know maybe are you looking for a different challenge? maybe a maybe classic come in or something you know something a bit same way you might want to go and retire to Italy and do something a bit romantic something a bit different could be a smooth could be a late night love song a bit of Angie Greaves sort of you know those sort of it'd be good to have some of them as teammates and you know you look at some of those other stations and go like god you know I wonder what I'd look like there what would I look like on an LBC what would I look like on a smooth quite often players move down the leagues you go pirate could go pirate move down the leagues give a bit back equally is there something romantic about finishing my career at Radio Northwick Park you know where you started where I started I believe obviously the Yages wouldn't be the same but you'd have you accept that that's Craig Bannamy going back to you've achieved what you want to achieve I mean this is giving a bit back and you pass on your experience to the new the new generation yeah exactly that and I just think and for them that would be massive wouldn't it this is brilliant huge for them some of them some of those young DJs you know how you could help them you know your kind of experience just just a thought um i really want you listening right now wherever you work to think of the same thing like what what would be your big sort of rival to go to what would what would be the romantic way to end your career if you were a free agent you know put yourself in this environment anyone can do it yeah put yourself in the environment so boys what we'll do is we'll do a an episode of free agents another time we'll get a player in who is uh who's a free agent as about that.

20:50That sounds like a good plan. Because also I think that might be a real difficult thing mentally for them to deal with, you know, like as well. Because I always think about it, you know, with tennis players or golfers and things like that. It's like, you know, if you don't want to train, you don't have to. You know, like, whereas in your thing, you're like, ah, you know, don't fancy it today. You know, that kind of thing. Like, hey, it has to come from within that training on your own kind of environment. You're training for the hope of a phone call. Yeah, and what if it doesn't come? Charlie for nothing well when do you give up when do you when do you just go right yeah you're going to need to sing so we're going to have to start a podcast or something yeah well that's it like I've not been in that position but I'm really interested to to understand what it is like in that position I like that Dele Alli like you know think about all the think about all the highs he's had right like playing for England you know Spurs all the all the the massive heights he's had and then all of a sudden now what he's sitting at home now he can't get a club yeah How hard must that be to deal with?

21:52Yeah. Do you think, I'm not saying him specifically though, but everyone has a kind of, there must be a club that wants him, right? There must be of some sort of level, but is it just where your own perceptions don't necessarily match up with it? Or your wages? I think there's a huge problem with that. Do you? I think there's a lot of players. I've spoke to agents before who are like, I've got him, you know, so-and-so club. Just thinks he's way above that. and obviously you know they've tried to say now look you're not this is these are the clubs that are calling you know that'll be the biggest because it is a market still isn't it yeah yeah and you know if you lose value you know you're unfortunately looking at clubs that you think are beneath you but then if you do have that attitude surely you can get a shorter term contract one or two years or something it's good for the club because you're the right calibre player and prove everyone wrong like go do those two years smash it and go somewhere else surely if you can actually do it that happens a lot I know that certainly when we got at Stoke some of those, we got the Aflis Bojan's Anatovic, Shaqiri even very much the agents were saying to them you come and do a year at Stoke in a top half Premier League club you'll get a move to one of the big boys didn't work out for Bojan unfortunately but Shaqiri went to Liverpool Arnautovic whatever you want to say went to West Ham and then you know China but earned a hell of a lot more money and I think that was his goal yeah to be honest yeah agreed but yeah they all unfortunately got injured but that was the that was very much like come to this club and you'll once you prove it in the Premier League you'll then move on to yeah right I want to do an episode on that and we'll have that soon we'll reach out to some guests who haven't been in that position But first, we'll get into our league.

So I was at that game, and when the third went in, my heart did sink a little bit. Did you know? Yeah. Oh, so you knew it. Yes, I was at the game.

25:04Looked good Arsenal, by the way. Very good. Really good, yeah. No, look, I'm thrilled. and obviously I can't take the credit for it. I obviously get cheat in this thing. I get the predictions from everyone on Instagram. So thank you so much. Let's keep this going. Yeah, so kids, does it mean you ended up with two points, right? What do I end up with there? Two points as well. Two as well, yeah. So yeah, I mean, unbelievably what's happening in the league so far is Crouchy on 10, Sid's on 10 and Chris is on 10. Most exciting league in the world. Oh, there's nothing better. Tight. Tight. Nothing better.

25:40Tighter than a duck's ass was there. Tighter than a raccoon's nutsack. That's what they say. Yeah, this is... Mark tight.

25:52Mark tight? Yeah. Tight and bramble. Ian tight? You get the idea. So tight said Fred. Okay. Right, this next part of the podcast and supported by Paddy Power. This is a big weekend fixture. It feels like they're coming thick and fast at the moment. This is Arsenal versus Manchester City. Arsenal 10-11. The draw is 16-5. Manchester City are 14-5. Repeat of last meeting. 5-1 Arsenal. It's 8-1. 80-1. I don't remember. Was it 5-1, was it? Was it really? That was when Lewis Gemi did Harvard celebration. Oh, it was. That game. It was. Oh, my God, yeah. I mean... Oh, and, well, the bear's been poked, Haaland, because he is in form.

26:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. I can't see a repeat of that one, no, 5-1. No, certainly not. 80-1, do you see? They look good Arsenal, though, wow. I was impressed, but Manchester City look good against United. This is a top game. Yeah, totally. What about that one where Haaland took it round and missed? Yeah. I got the two bet it's like that it was an interesting one that one wasn't it sort of messed it up at the last second he's just he's just he's a force though he is because a lot of people were saying that he's not like the he's not like the complete footballer but would you have him in your team you would do because the hardest thing to do is score goals surely he's the best I think Isak I love watching as well Mo Salah obviously is a winger yeah incredible goal scorer but Harland is someone that I absolutely love watching play football relentless animal do City look a lot more complete having a massive centre forward like massive centre forward massive goalie now I just thought it looked proper he looks right in a City shirt do you know what I'd done a a piece for Sky the other week and then when you're all in the Sky Sports News part studio you've got all the analysis and all these guys that do all this work and I got talking to one of the guys on the screens and he said that this season has seen more direct long balls and long throws than any season than any season in the Premier League Premier League history than going back what for any team yeah like the total total amount of long throws and long balls the total so in the opening for what were you five games in six games in opening six games and you're going back to a I think it's going Going back to the start.

28:38They're low from the kickoff. Were you holding him in the score from the kickoff, to be fair? He was in the middle of doing these stats. He was like, from what I can see here, the way it's turning up, the opening five, six games is going back. It's a throwback. So do you think this is it now? We're doing away with the... Full circle. Pissing around at the back. We've gone. We've gone route one again. Pep's going to go route one. Lump it to the big man. what hey get the boots back out yeah mate I could be back in you're back in fashion fucking hell oh so yeah we'll have a look so yeah this could be this could be the one where to win it this season you just go long ball long throws superb everything yeah Brentford scored one didn't they on the weekend yeah so okay this is Arsenal at home as well by the way Arsenal at home yeah manager derby sort of situation isn't it yeah it's always fun that oh Ted Lasso was at the game at Arsenal on the weekend I saw him oh really Jason Sucudis are we getting a call up for Ted Lasso again we usually do don't we we didn't have much of a conversation I said hello and stuff on the side there but he got into a deep conversation with Arteta and I left him to it well he came on the podcast that was quite new when you'd started Sid's too I remember when we chatted to him.

30:02We do normally get a call up for Ted Lasso. If you don't know this, we actually feature, I think, in every series of Ted Lasso as a little... A little cameo of the podcast. Yeah, Ted himself's like listening to the pod or something. Yeah. But we record those podcasts, especially for Ted Lasso. It's always an interesting experience because we're normally on Zoom and our tech fails us and they look like they regret bringing us in every time. It's funny because they're out there, I think they're like in New York or something, all the directors and producers, it's like a big Hollywood production. And then we rock up and then they say, you just send, you just fire that over to us.

30:37We was like, what? That was it. They said, if you just fire that over to us, we were like, I don't know what you mean by that. We did a whole, we did this thing, like half hour record or something, 45 minutes. And basically reading the script, obviously, because we're incompetent, we had to do it over and over again. Pete, you're so right. The end of all of that, they go, yeah, just fire it over to us like none of us have hit record I don't know what you mean I just assumed you'd been recording all that

31:07world class oh it's the best I love it I love it when we deal with people who do things properly it's the best so anyway this game I don't know man like this is this is I mean potentially the football this weekend is just brilliant this should be an amazing game oh well this will be an amazing game Listen I'll happily go if you want me to Go for it 3-2 Arsenal Oh my god I just see the bottom of there it's averaged 3.2 goals this game in the last five Premier League There you go Well I'm going to go 3-2 to Arsenal and that does that put me that puts me on the old bonus point Yeah Oh that could be massive The four pointer That could be unbelievable Do you know what I really hope there is goals because what game was the other week was it Arsenal or Liverpool that ended up being 1-0 bit of a bore wasn't it shame that really I do think this has got potential the only thing is Arsenal look they conceded 17 goals at home last season and they've only conceded one goal this season that Mosquera as well who came in for Saliba is a player yeah very good he's got the big nod Jamie he's the big Arsenal fan over there behind the camera, Jamie.

32:27The seal of approval from Muschira. I'm going to go, it's such a big call. I'm going to go 3-1 to Manchester City. Oh my God. Wow. You don't get this anywhere in any other league. You've gone 3-1 City? I've gone 3-1 City, which is a huge call. 3-2 Arsenal. Oh, this is great. Oh, I love it. I've put, obviously, the shout out on Instagram. I'm just looking at the DMs here. We've got Darren Moody, Daniel Watt, Joel Marriott, Simon Pilkington. What's Pilks saying? Do you want to, should I have a look? What's Pilks saying? Pilks is going to one city. Let's have a look. Let's have a look. A couple more.

33:11Joe Phelan. Tell me if a name sounds good to you. Ryan Bassett. Yeah, yeah, go on. Nick Bannerman. Mike's son. Let's have a look on Mike's son. Where is he? Ryan Bassett. Ryan Bassett. Here he is. he's put huge huge games yeah 4-2 all of them he's gone 2-2 all for the first one do you know there's a few shout of Desmond's in this game oh will he go yeah go with that then we'll all have a different result then he'll go man city watch this no go on I'll go Desmond then I'll go Desmond I'll follow Bassett good good 2-2 alright nice okay we've got Paddy's boost each quick pick a leg of the Crouch Pod bet builder the odds will then go on the plenty power website and app and they'll be boosted by 20 % on the special section and I'm going to go to score first pretty simple Erling Haaland okay alright player to be carded let's go let's go Declan Rice okay player to have two or more shots on target we're going to go for Gilchores okay odds are correct at time recording please gamble responsibly right next game Man United versus Chelsea yeah what we said about hammering at the moment oh there's a lot of are we are we hammering are we hammering or hammer out oh god you're on fire today I'm on fire I think stick with him a lot of people are saying you've got to change the formation but he's never going to change his formation I feel like he's doubled down that hard on the fact that this is how he plays we were just talking about Ryan Bassett weren't we I think we've hit the Mike Bassett moment where he's in the press conference and they're all just shouting at him and he starts reeling off you know if you can keep your head when all those around you are losing yours yeah you think that's where we are and just starts doing the poem and Phil Jupitus is there having a go at it yeah yeah kind of kind of get into those levels do you think it's retrievable what I don't know his status his his I didn't think I didn't think they were too bad against City.

35:26No, I didn't think that. But it was still comfortable. Yeah, I think there was moments going forward, they looked really dangerous, really good. And they carved open some chances, but just lacked that fun of it. But I think it was just a way that they did concede. They looked open at times as well. And what was it? There was no bookings. And I'm not saying go around smashing people and just for the sake of it, but still, you know, it's a derby. Roy Keane made a big point of this, didn't he? Yeah, but that's why I don't know if we were into that. that sort of category but be like be competitive do you know what I mean if you're going to go out go out with a fight or you know just don't let players go past you and that I think that was the biggest thing that was the worry so yeah and Chelsea obviously had the draw of Brentford didn't they yeah it was a bit controversial equaliser at the end there yeah that weren't that weren't ideal potential offside but anyway it is it was 2-2 I think Chelsea for me will get the result here.

36:29Even though it's at United, I still fancy Chelsea to win. I'm going to go for 2-0 Chelsea. Really? Yeah. Do you know what yours is going to be? I think I'm going to go 2-1. The Chelsea as well? Yeah. The Chelsea side of me thinks they'll get a result, but I did back United to get a draw last week against Man City and they tucked me up. okay you've gone 2-0 2-0 you've gone 2-1 I'm going to go 1-0 Chelsea 1-0 Chelsea so we've all gone Chelsea there no hope for Manu I think we'll regret that alright fair enough the final game is Liverpool vs. Everton early kick off on a Saturday I'm going to be doing this game are you?

37:09I'm going to be up there looking forward to it like really looking forward to being there what's your take on Liverpool so far because they've won games but nine minutes haven't hit yeah but you know like when they do you remember how many goals Salah got in the last minute do you remember like the season they won the league yeah is it a worry at the minute it doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like it's a worry because they're winning the games and they've got big players but is it going to come a time where they're not playing they're still not playing great and then their wins might become a tour yeah I just think about all the times I've watched league winners like they always go for a period of not playing well but win games you know and I feel like this could be I think they could click into gear and then especially if Isak gets up to full fitness you know what I mean McAllister back I think I think that they haven't they're not quite playing to their potential yet and yeah there's a few players they're finding their feet Virts being definitely one of them Kirk is players that maybe need to yeah just a little bit more bedding in Isak he'll have a load of training once he's back fully firing I think they'll be full of confidence then so and Everton as well fair play to Everton as well you know I know it was a they missed a lot of chances on the weekend but again I think Moyes has done a fantastic job there it's kind of a refreshed energy for this particular yeah isn't it and Dak Greenish did I see he got power of the month yeah he did he did get power of the month didn't he brilliant really pleased for that he's all loved that and it's his birthday actually he's his 30th coming up it was his 30th yes it was yeah I saw some celebrations he put on a festival and it was called like Grealish Fields or something or Greefields.

38:56No Crouchfest, baby. That's a nice try. But like, I had to send him a video. So, I know his agent, I think I'll put together a video so I'll give him a little bit of grief on the old, on the video. Nice. I thought it was all good. Okay. Good man. Alright, I'm going to go straight in here, boys. I'm going to go straight in. I'm going to say this is going to be, this is going to be Liverpool three Everton nil I think there's an Everton goal here I think there's going to be I think this is drama written all over it it's going to be a good one I'd love to go for Everton here but there's just there's just such few people I just think you'd love to go to Everton but your arsehole wouldn't allow you I just can't I can't risk it there's just so much I'm drawn to Darryl Barone here oh what a name only because it's dangerously close to Al Barone no the Alvarone and all bar one yeah that's it yeah his last name is bar one yeah literally bar one bar one he's literally good how wicked he is what's his first name Daryl so even that's not far off oh bar one Daryl bar one Daryl bar one oh literally what guy he's having you off there no is his name all bar one should we have a look I like occasionally we dip into people's lives don't we all he's done is send a score prediction little does he know right now Daryl Barone so there's there's Daryl Barone so Daryl Barone right but if you look at that it's Daryl Barone oh he's got a private profile but look I can get his profile picture just to we'll have a look we'll have a look there he is yeah yeah Daryl Barone there tight shorts on there isn't it that's a holiday pick isn't it yeah quite tight shorts on yeah yeah yeah Maybe he cycles.

40:50It's half cycling, half night out there, isn't it? I'm going to show you Daryl Barone on the camera there from distance. Inevitably, what happens, I'll get a message later on saying, can you send us a picture of Daryl Barone, please? Daryl Barone. For the YouTube edit. I won't be able to find this. We'll just take a screenshot of it. I don't know what we should call him. Should we call him Daryl Barone or should we call him Daryl Barone? Daryl Barone. I think we should just call him Al. Darryl Barone you can call me Al you just call him Al you know like people Paul Simon no Al Barone Al Barone like all bar one you can call me all bar one but Al yeah but if his name was Al he obviously would be called yeah like as in all bar one but Darryl has got all in it Darryl yeah Darryl he's gone for 2-1 Liverpool so it's 2-1 or 3-1 that's the majority of what I'm seeing here I hate to go missionary on this but I say it with the intention that I think this game is going to be it's going to be awesome I know that Liverpool will score in the last minute and I can sort of see the shirt coming off and spinning round Salah shirt off spinning round in the last four minutes like it I'm going to go 2-1 okay 2-1 was a scoreline I would have gone with I'm going to go with 3-1 Liverpool then 3-1 I think it'd be tighter than that I think it might be you know maybe a late goal we've got all out there boys alright well let's Hopefully it is a, well, you're there.

42:19I'm there. I'm really looking forward to it. If it is that, enjoy that. Yeah, I will enjoy it. Well, I'll enjoy it anyway.

42:27Boys, I just want to show you this as well. So, it's kind of awards season at the moment. There was the Emmys a few days ago. There was the National TV Awards. Yeah, yeah. Half expected you to pop up at that Crouchy. I thought you might give out an award at something like that. Gary Linneke won, yeah. At the O2. He won the Deck trophy. Did, yeah. Gary Linneke won that. I saw this and I wanted to share it because you know how we love a walk-on one of the Mitchell brothers Steve McFadden won an award and did this walk-on I just want to play it to you and I want to get your thoughts on this I feel like this the soap stars this is like their real big moment in the NTA this is their Ballon d 'Or yeah he's I don't think he's won anything has he I can all agree massive aura this right look at the way like look at the show of the roll love it so we're all agreed massive moment right and you can see them all respecting like game he's a legend he's stepped up and he gets his award the question is right I saw this comment like one of the top comments and someone had written Roy Cropper equals Messi Phil Mitchell CR7 David Platt equals Neymar and I thought it'd be good to get your thoughts on those three you know in the soap world and do we agree with that?

43:47Right. So shall I talk you through it again? So you're going like, they want to go like the best, so comparing soap stars. So today, because I think we could do this with other categories again, a bit like the Vanarama, the Messi, the CR7 and Neymar are various different things. So in soap world, would we agree with this comment here from Sam? Roy Cropper, Messi. Yeah, yeah. He's the best we've seen. Phil Mitchell, CR7, would you say? I mean it's relentless appearances isn't it but I don't know I don't know if that Adam is it Adam Woodgett Ian Beal yeah he's got he'd be up there just for longevity as well yeah been at the top of his game for so long and he used to be scared of Phil didn't he Phil don't hurt me I've got nothing left yeah great line it's just an interesting one I saw that and I thought yeah I think I think he's kind of nailed it there Roy Cropper very consistent just moves about does does the simple things well yeah but that's not messy is it you know that's true but there is the occasional flair from from Roy there and you know longevity is a key thing Steve McFadden Steve McFadden walks with the swagger of a man that's a top top player I know I know but I know what you're saying there yeah that's that's a good point yeah Bet Gilroy Bet Gilroy is it Bet Gil or have I said it right there a long time ago that we're not even talking about the Dingles no that's a family dynasty it's like the Nevels that's true they're all you know in the sport aren't they yeah different roles what about you Sid what are you saying is there anyone who can challenge Steve McFadden there hard isn't it yeah catch later yeah he's been there a long time hasn't he he has you haven't even gone Aussie do you know what I mean like Alf Stewart Alf Stewart what about Harold Bishop Harold Bishop Harold Bishop Gail Platt Gail Platt's right up there you know admittedly retired a lot of these players but unbelievable unbelievable names the longevity that's what's key for me just have a little think I think they got it right with Dev McFadden from Ballon d 'Or Dev from Corrie no one knows his surname it's just Dev from Corrie yeah interesting one listener messages oh yeah you've got loads of messages I'm not after anything just advice I have a 14 year old son who's 6 foot 1 and skinny why are you calling in here then every one of them calls him Peter Crouch can I ask where do you buy your tracksuits from as I can't find any that fits him in the waist and leg as he has the longest legs and so skinny.

46:49Please help with advice if you can. Thanks, Deb. That's Tall Tommy's mum. Yeah, Tall Tommy. These jeans, for instance. TooTall.com. Is this real? It's a real thing. Right, please Google it because actually when I'm on Twitter, you know it says people that follow. So people that follow TooTall.com, right? Vernon K, Stephen Merchant, Dan Walker, Peter Crouch this might be a couple more but all tall men of the time and do you know what they're like then it's not bad stuff like you don't want people to see the label that says too tall in the inside you know because you want them to think of something else but they fit well yeah there you go great recommendation okay and also they like it's the waist is like with High and Mighty and Giacomo for instance it would be the waist is very big it's kind of like if you're tall you have to be ginormous whereas if you're tall and slim you can get well looked after at 2tool.com okay discount advice comes from the brand ambassador yeah yeah yeah I'm not a brand ambassador no no no I'm really not I'm just recommending a good solid company to look after a tall gentleman I look forward to the adverts next week there you go tall Tommy let's go go on Tommy All right, boys, just a reaction to the last pod where you talked about players being booked for taking off their shirts after a goal.

48:18Heard a rumor a while back, it's something from the sponsors that caused it, because the most valuable photos of players are the ones after a goal. The sponsors complain that the players taking their shirts off also means you can't see the sponsor as well. Makes perfect sense. Thoughts on this? Also, I remember one year, Tim Cale got sent off for a second booking after doing the Ravinelli shirt over the face celebration. because the ref team's shirt wasn't off enough. Utter woke nonsense. And that's from a Liverpool fan. Cheers, boys. Keep up the good work. Regards to your families in Chumbawamba.

48:51That's Dan from Liverpool. Well, I've heard this as well. But if this is true, I think this is a disgrace because I think you should get bookings for things related to the game, not for upsetting a sponsor. You know, if we're going to go by that, let's say you finish playing a game and you're tucking into a petty flu, that's like the ref coming over and booking you because you're sponsored by Muller. Do you know what I mean? It doesn't feel like the sponsor bit of it's part of the game. It's a good point. It's something that I haven't considered. I thought it was because, you know, someone would get offended by seeing some pectorals.

49:30Yeah. It can't be true, can it? I mean, it can't. What is the actual reason though? because you can take off your shirt at the end of a match. Let's quickly Google it. And you don't get booked. Can we have a look? Let's be honest, what a ridiculous rule this is anyway. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah, because you can take your shirt off, swap it with someone, walk off. Totally fine. And also, if you're on the bench, you take your shirt off, you know you take your warm-up top off, put your shirt on, ref doesn't come over and book you. Also, you're not getting booked if you say put your arm right across the sponsor and run away.

50:05Do you see what I mean? Yeah, yeah. That's a good point. So, here we go. Okay, so, we got it up here. Players get booked yellow card for removing a shirt during the celebration because the FIFA laws of the game prohibit it to prevent time-wasting, unsportsmanlike conduct and the display of a political or sensitive message. The rule also helps protect sponsors' branding by ensuring logos remain visible and allows referees to easily identify players by their squad numbers. Hi, I'm Jack Cravici, Kramer, host of The Best One Yet. At T-Boy, we're always talking about small decisions that can have an outsized impact.

50:45One of the simplest is staying hydrated. Whether I'm traveling, getting a workout in, or heading into a busy day, I keep Liquid IV on hand. It's clinically demonstrated to hydrate faster than water alone and contains three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drink, plus eight vitamins and nutrients. It's an easy addition to your daily routine and helps support hydration when you need it most. Shop now at liquidiv.com. Liquid IV hydration that goes wherever life takes you.

51:14So just on a little breakdown of the branding, sponsors invest heavily in clubs and leagues and removing the shirt hides their logos and branding during highly visible moments. So he's right. There is an element of it, but there's an element of time-wasting, unsportsmanlike behavior, obviously political statements things like that it's definitely something to do with branding as well so that was a well thought out email bring back bring it back bring it back taking the shirt off yeah I agree what's the rules then if say you're sponsored by I don't know think of any sponsor Adidas what do you mean outside of football like a shirt sponsor OnlyFans Only fans and let's say you've got that written on your chest instead does that mean you don't get booked?

52:05That's a good point Like technicalities all these things and nitpicking but it's only to show the ridiculousness of it What about a player who's on a yellow and then gets booked for the celebration? It's a shock of that though You can't get sent off for that Can you? Like you said a couple of weeks ago you said when you celebrate you should be free to do whatever you want I think do whatever you want I think so In at least 30 seconds Yeah Go mental okay dear Crouchy Sidders and the BBQC I was recently listening to the pod when Chris mentioned a time when supporters names were on seats at Walford I was back in the UK at Christmas and I now live Toulouse and we seven of the Bone family as per usual descended from Farnham which you know well Crouchy it's a frat and park for the match my dad is a long term season to get older and he mentioned to me that 25-26 season will mark 100 years that a member of the family has sat in the same seat in the South Stand going back through the generations.

53:04Do you all think that this should be giving a letter from the King's status? He then goes on to say, as a funny, aside from this, I live on a small road here in France named Chemin de Peu de Le Fon, which literally translates as Fanny Fart Lane, which always makes it very interesting when I need to give her address to the doctors, etc. Chemin de Peu de la Font. Peu de la Font. Chemin. Chemin de Peu de la Font. Peu de la Font. Fanny Fart Lane. Can you imagine living down Fanny Fart Lane? And his name's John Bone. John Bone, point of view fan. Yeah. Well, firstly, before we get into Fanny Fart Lane, you should get something for 100 years of the same seat.

53:54Yeah. I feel like that just think about the money that has been spent on that seat commitment from a family generations passing down I think there's got to be something that marks that you should get your name on the seat you should get more than that there can't be many at all that have done that the 100 club 100 years of football the same seat as well 100 100 years 100 seasons in that imagine if you get to 99 and the hair of it always looks like I'm not going to renew after this year I'm not going to renew you'd have to renew even if you're a Southampton fan

54:39that's incredible that needs a big you should celebrate that with something huge especially from the football club as well Portsmouth you know what to do look after them any thoughts on Fanny Fire Lane what would you do if you actually lived on Fanny Fart Lane? Sounds like Cockney rhyming for White Hart Lane, doesn't it? What would I think if I lived on Fanny Fart Lane? I would be thinking... Would you pay more or less to live on Fanny Fart Lane? Well, I'd like to know if it's street names, if it's house names or if it's house numbers. Because if it's house names, then you could obviously have a bit of fun.

55:12Yeah, of course you could. By renaming your house to anything you want. Would you not buy a house because it was on Fanny Fart Lane? no if you see if you look at Crouch it's the dream house mate it's like yeah it wouldn't bother me I wouldn't bother you no no no it wouldn't bother me at all would it bother you I'd find it quite funny it's a mad one when you've got to like say it down the phone isn't it I think it's the serious questions isn't it like imagine you get pulled over by police right name and address Peter Crouch funny fart later they'd arrest you I'd be like shut up mate also Don't take the piss, sir.

55:53But this is just translated into French, so I'm assuming in French that means fanny fart as well. So what are you telling me? So someone has made a road. It's called fanny in French. So someone's made a road in France called fanny fart lane. That's mad. You know my road names normally come from somewhere. Maybe there's a prolific fanny fart down that road hundreds of years ago. That's an angry road name. That's someone who's like, was a rich landowner, broke up with like an ex-wife or something. She's inherited a big house and he's got the road renamed Fanny Fart Lane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a story there.

56:34There's an agenda behind that. There is a story. Let's look into it. There's always a story behind road names. Very interesting. Okay, the OG, TT and Dominic. Who's who there? Whoa! the OG that's obviously got to be work that out TT what would Dominic be? hold on a minute I think he's explaining it after now the nickname seems to change each week but one thing remains a constant and that is Starkey normally bears the brunt of it okay with his recent health scare and share to listeners I think he deserves a little more respect so I've referred to him as the OG love thank you great He sounds far more revered and respectful.

57:18The reference I'm using is the outdoor gorilla, not one gonad. For SIDS, it's TT, tangerine testicles. At least he's got two. And for the big man, it's simple. Dominic, so lanky. So lanky. Oh, great. They're good. Okay, it works out. I'm writing in with a Vanarama suggestion. Can't imagine this trio is getting anywhere, and certainly not on time, but could be a lively trip. needless to say you need to consider them all at their peak and not in sensible roles as charity ambassadors okay it's at peak who sits where Gazza Bullard Stacky keep up the good work Lee from Amsterdam did you see Lee while you were out there nope I didn't see Lee in the dam he's he's hit us with a very very good one there Gazza Jimmy Bullard and Graham Stack I don't want any of them driving I wouldn't like any of them driving I sort of see my vision here would be I can't explain necessarily why stacky driving Gazza out the window just talking to people waving and then Bullard in the middle yeah just feels kind of right that makes sense to me the only other one I'd have is Bullard driving potentially but I don't want Gazza driving Gazza's not driving and I don't think you can put Gazza in the middle No I don't Because he'd be Climbing the walls I think So you're putting Gaz Out the window right I think I'm going to put Gaz Out the window Yes I think you're right You know I'm happy with Stacky driving And Jimmy in the middle I mean I've seen him drive That fella Oh have you Oh fuck Okay alright Jimmy's driving then So Jimmy's driving Stacky's in the middle Stacky's in the middle Stacky's in the middle Okay That's it Stacky's in the middle We have a DJ Oh is he Yeah he DJs So he's in charge of the radio Oh that makes sense then Oh okay and Gaz is mooning out the window some journey that would be okay gentlemen listen to this week's pod and you'd have to touch on possibly starting a competition to find out the next Peter Crouch podcast official curry house I think the name of the competition writes itself Pop, Popadom Idol great love it, absolutely love it thought I'd share all the best Daz well done Daz yeah that's a cracker mate so how are we getting on with Popper de Milo is it we had many suggestions we got a few didn't we they come in yeah we've had a couple I've seen a few DMs I fired them into the group so yeah you know we could if the Samrat is going to close it does feel right that we look and find a new new curry house for the podcast so we're open to recommendations I'll set you down to the Elvis curry house yeah 100 % yep dear Crouchy Notorious of BBQC regards your families and indeed the families of those listening and even those who aren't who comes up with that brilliant so formal I've just finished the Iron Hargreaves episode and I can't help but feel that there is a business opportunity for the Crouch podcast to move into film production it stinks of a Disney goal like movie, young boy in a distant land with no idea how good his skills are moves away to follow his dream initial success followed by setbacks and media disapproval on the eve of the World Cup.

1:00:39Perhaps a quiet word from the dad he's desperate to please to motivate him to reach greater heights. I think he's got the makings of box office smash with the Stephen Spielswell as director. Keep up the good work, Willis. That's from Mark. Great email, Mark. Yeah, lovely. I think you've got to be in a film soon. Whether it's actually about the whole film about you. No. Well, I've done that one. I've done a film. You've got to be in a film. I'd love to be. Well, do you know we were talking earlier about guests that we'd like on the podcast. And it's great because they all tend to be in Crouchy's phone book, actually.

1:01:14But you only find out when you say, oh, do you know, be a good guest, this person. And Crouchy goes, oh, I was only talking to him the other day. It's like, say that then.

1:01:25Stephen Graham. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be good. It'd be great to get on the podcast, actually. I could see you being in one of something with him. Yeah, I'd love to be. I'd love to be. Maybe I should do a little, what are they called? they're casting couch now what kind of casting couch you know the casting couch on one of Elmsids yeah yeah yeah of course I haven't watched it since you have to put your passport in oh god how are you getting on with everything fucking night no I don't do that Jesus Christ I actually haven't put my passport what is the deal with that though seriously magazines what is that It's all like nonsense if ever I've heard it.

1:02:09Oh, don't, don't. So this, this could be my audition tape. Well, yeah, yeah. Now this, because I can see you doing a role. Hi directors. Do you want to be the casting couch? So I'll be like, you're the director and I'll be Peter Crouch. I'm going to make you a star. Okay. I'm Dutch all of a sudden. Hey, Peter, show us what you got.

1:02:35the fuck was that I don't know you try to do it I don't really know what I'm imagining you do it he's a godfather or something oh Capone are you ready okay so Peter yes can you look down the barrel please for us just say your name and where you're from and there should be a script on there if you'd like to give that a go there's a choice of scripts okay and pick one you choose it and fire away. Okay. Hi, my name's Peter Crouch. I'm an actor from Ealing and this is my Al Pacino speech from Any Given Sunday.

1:03:17I don't know what to say really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today. Either we heal as a team Or we go and crumble Inch by inch, play by play Until we're finished We're in hell right now Ladies and gentlemen Believe me We can stay here Get the shit kicked out of us Or we can fight Fight our way back to the lake We can climb out of hell One inch at a time Now I can't do it for you I'm too old, look around I see these faces and I think I mean I made every wrong choice a middle aged man can make I pissed away my money Believe it or not, I chased off anyone who's ever loved me And lately, I can't even stand the face that I look in the mirror You know, when you get old in life Things get taken away from you I mean that's part of life, right?

1:04:26But only you learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life's a game of inches.

1:04:37So in football, because in either game of life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half step too late or too early, don't quite make it. One half second too slow or too fast, you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us They're in every break of the game Every minute, every second On this team we fight for that inch On this team we tear ourselves And everyone around us to pieces for that inch We claw with our fingernail for that inch Because we know And we had it all up Those inches that's going to make the fucking difference between winning or losing, between living or dying.

1:05:27I'll tell you this. In any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die, to die for that inch. And I know I'm going to have any life anymore. It's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now, I can't make you do it. You've got to look at that guy next to you, Look into his eyes, Sid. Now I think you're going to see a guy that's going to go without injury. You're going to see a guy who has sacrificed himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it, you're going to do the same for him. That's a team.

1:06:08Gentlemen, we either heal now as a team or we die as individuals. That's football, guys. That's all it is. Now what are you going to do? incredible

1:06:26can we have a discussion quickly yeah I think we'd like to offer you the part really I think that was awesome what is it a nursing casualty

1:06:42hi I'm Jack Kravici Kramer host of the best one yet at T-Boy we're always talking about small decisions that can have an outsized impact One of the simplest is staying hydrated.
