Sir Gary Oldman: The Oscar, The Knighthood & The Problem With Manchester United

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Peter Crouch, Chris Stark, and Steve Sidwell dive into the ins and outs of loan moves: the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. Drawing from personal experience, Sids opens up about being sent out on loan early in his career and how it shaped his future, while Crouchy shares the highs and harsh realities of being loaned to clubs to fight for game time. The lads also get into the unique pressure young players face, the role of managers during these periods, and how loan spells can make, or break, careers.

The lads dissect a big weekend of Premier League action, including Arsenal vs Man City and Liverpool vs Everton, while unpacking the bizarre booking of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for taking a quick free kick and why sprinting around the back of the goal is a tactical masterpiece.

Fourth official respect, a genius Sunday League campaign featuring Sids himself, surprise matchday moments next to Joe Gomez, and a deeper dive into the wild plan to make Refs famous.

It's soup season. It's prediction season.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sid welcome former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack, who enjoyed a wild career with clubs including Reading, Wolves, Hibs, Barnet, and Kerala Blasters.

Luke Littler on Brush With Sir Alex, Fifa With Rooney & His Becoming WORLD CHAMPION at Just 18

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by former Arsenal and Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury—a man known for his composed playmaking style, his Premier League journey, and now, his unexpected new life as a lawn-care entrepreneur.

In a powerful, funny, and refreshingly honest chat, Henri explains the moment he realised something was wrong, the speed of his surgery, and how football banter helped him process it all.

The lads also dive into Henri’s career journey through Arsenal’s elite youth system, wild loan spells at Scunthorpe and Norwich, and his glory years at Forest. There’s even time to talk about robot lawn mowers, silent discos, and how Henri went from footballer to founder of Grass Gains, the fertiliser brand making waves in Premier League stadiums and home gardens alike.

Henri Lansbury: “I Knew I Had Cancer… But I Didn’t Want to Stop Playing”

On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are back at base and are joined by the elusive Notorious SID who has some explaining to do as to his recent whereabouts….

Crouchy, Chris and Sids rue another disappointing week on the leaderboard which collectively saw all the lads only accumulate 1 point between them - ouch!

However, the ever confident Chris Stark insists that all hope is not last and it definitely isn’t squeaky bum time for any of the lads when it comes to the end of season forfeit as there is still just under a third of the season yet to be played. 

After another massive win for Arsenal last week, Crouchy admits that he may have been a bit hasty in calling it a two horse race a few weeks back and that Liverpool’s injury list means that the season could end up being a lot closer than initially thought. 

Looking ahead to this weekend’s games, Peter and the lads give their predictions on the Arsenal v Newcastle, Man Utd v Fulham and Aston Villa v Nott’m Forest games. With the lads threatening to cancel football Fridays if their predictions don’t improve you certainly will not want to miss what could potentially be the last Friday pod ever!

Leave your predictions and forfeit suggestions in the comments below!

00:00 - Intro
