About this episode

The episode discusses the opening weekend of the Premier League, featuring a confrontation with a Zante goalkeeper and various football-related topics.

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are back talking all things GW1 as the Premier League gets properly underway.

Naturally, the boys decide there’s only one thing to do… head to Zante and take him on themselves. The lads then get into the opening weekend of the Premier League, including the strange situation around Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa, with Sids sharing his own experience of knowing he was leaving Reading for Chelsea but continuing to play and train as normal. The conversation turns to whether players should ever take themselves out of the firing line when a transfer is on the cards, and how much physicality, hunger and desire now matter in the Premier League. Chris then tackles his own disastrous comedy attempts ahead of his forfeit, some questionable listener jokes, and the increasingly surreal experience of being recognised in public — including a very awkward airport encounter…
