EP. 395 | Ranking More “Game’s Gone” Moments - Chelsea’s Ref Huddle & Digital Match Programmes?!

About this episode

The episode dives into chaotic discussions about modern football trends and listener submissions regarding the game's identity.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast , Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into another chaotic round of your “Game’s Gone” submissions—and nothing is safe. From Chelsea’s baffling centre-circle huddle (with the referee somehow stuck in the middle of it) to the death of printed matchday programmes, the lads dissect the modern game’s strangest trends with their usual mix of nostalgia and disbelief. There’s outrage over “starter and finisher” terminology, confusion around American-style commentary creeping into football, and a proper debate on whether football is quietly losing its identity. The boys also stumble into some all-time ridiculous footballer names, explore bizarre football simulator games, and question whether players today are a bit too… well moisturised. Plus, Crouchy gears up for a Liverpool Legends return at Anfield—with big plans to bring back proper shin pads. Packed with listener submissions, strong opinions, and plenty of laughs, this episode asks the big question once again: has the game well and truly gone?
