Summary
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, something totally unexpected happens—Ashley Cole drops in for an impromptu visit while out in Portugal with Crouchy, catching the lads completely off guard!
With Chris still away and sunning himself on a well-earned holiday, and Sids dialing in from the Chumbawum-bar, this one turns into an unplanned but surprisingly insightful deep dive.
Ashley shares his behind-the-scenes coaching insight from his time with England's U21s, analysing the most exciting young players in English football right now—including Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Morgan Gibbs-White—explaining what separates arrogance from confidence in the next generation.
The group also debates whether the Championship-to-Prem gap is now impossible to cross, and whether the so-called ‘mid-table’ teams are actually leveling up faster than you think…
Oh, and it wouldn’t be a classic Pod without a bit of chaos: limbs chat, golf games, and an eBay XI that nobody asked for featuring David “Buy Now” and Erik Ten Haggle.
As ever, absolutely no structure, but loads of laughs.
