Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | This podcast is part of the Acast Creator Network. This episode of That Peter Crouch podcast has brought you by Cynch Cars Without the Faf. A couple of weeks ago, we spoke about me searching for a new car on Cinch. Oh yeah, you had that niche criteria of yours. What was it again? I need one with a high ceiling, Chris, space for the kids and of course the golf clubs. Pete, what do I need to look for in a car, do you reckon? |
| 0:23.3 | Oh, well, you need a small car, Chris, because you're terrible at parking, |
| 0:26.2 | and you need a good sound system because, of course, you listen to the therapy crowds every Tuesday and Thursday. |
| 0:31.1 | Of course, that's... |
| 0:32.8 | I would say I look for reliability. I haven't got time to be tinkering with a broken car every other week. |
| 0:41.6 | Because since you're launching, cinch servicing across the UK, you get expert mechanics and it's |
| 0:46.5 | available for all makes and models so you know the car's in proper hands. That is a belter. |
| 0:51.2 | They've got 70 locations across the country. You can drop the car off or stick around, grab a free coffee, jump on the Wi-Fi, get a bit of work done while you're there. Yeah, that is ideal. So it makes it all stress-free. Plus, cinch, don't just help with servicing. They've got the biggest range of cars to buy entirely online. You can browse loads of options without ever having to leave the sofa. That sounds quite dangerous for me. I'd probably end up with five. Well, Chris, I've been doing some digging. Since we last chatted about cinch, did you know there are over 40,000 five-star trust pilot reviews? There's a lot of happy customers. Yeah, loads of happy customers. What's not to love? I'm sold. Right, I'll definitely be looking on cinch for my next motor. That's the spirit. Can't wait for you to cinch it. And listeners, if you |
| 1:31.8 | want that cinching it feeling, head to cinch.com.uk. This episode is sponsored by five, |
| 1:37.7 | where you can watch NFL big game night. Where are you at with the NFL crowd? Yeah, listen, |
| 1:42.6 | I watched the big ones, if I'm honest. The Super Bowl's insane. But it can be a little bit stop-start, I find. I know what you mean, and that is part the beauty of the sport. But what if I could tell you that the NFL coverage is about to change, that the stops are going to be as important as the starts? Well, talk through that. How are they going to work that? So, Five has got a brand new show called NFL Big Game Night, which brings hard hit in action that unamissible showdowns from the NFL straight to UK fans. Importantly here, it's completely free. Have you seen the adverts for this? It looks a lot of fun. So this is the one with Dermot O'Leary, Sam Quech. She's awesome. Super Bowl champion. Have you met Ose? Top fella? I haven't met him, but I do not. I do like him. Yeah. So the whole show is going to be part live NFL broadcast, part game show, but all out entertainment. This sounds good because I'll be honest with you. It's hard for me to get on board with show, but all-out entertainment. |
| 2:34.3 | This sounds good because, I'll be honest with you, it's hard for me to get on board with NFL, but this I potentially could get on board and maybe learn a thing or two. Well, that's it. I think, you know, obviously you can enjoy the sport, but you can enjoy everything in between as well. So that's going on. Obviously, there's the analytics from the game. The important |
| 2:51.2 | thing to get across here, it's not just American football. It's just a full-on NFL experience, |
| 2:56.6 | everything that's wonderful about the game, from the football to the food. So there's games in the |
| 3:01.3 | studio and NFL on the field. Exactly that, mate. NFL's big game night is the fresh, |
| 3:06.2 | fun and unmissable way to enjoy the NFL every Sunday at 5.30pm on 5. |
| 3:11.9 | This episode is sponsored by Sky Sports with now where you can stream every moment of the Ryder Cup exclusively live. |
| 3:18.5 | Talk me through the Ryder Cup, Chris. |
| 3:19.9 | Oh, come on. |
| 3:20.4 | Is it a staple in your household? Because it is in mine. |
| 3:22.7 | Well, it is. It's just one of those that I kind of have it just on all the time. Then obviously just kind of heats up over the weekend. And then has it ever not been tense? The American fans in general make it like white hot atmosphere. And then I think Europe kind of rise to that. It is special. It feels like a football match, but it's golf. Yeah. It does full of drama. I always enjoy how everyone gets on board with the Ryder Cup. It's one of those sporting occasions that it feels like all your mates start firing up the WhatsApp group. Do you know what I mean? Getting involved again. Me, for instance, like I'm going to play golf. Basically, it's full |
| 3:58.4 | kit. And then I'm going to go into the clubhouse and watch it in a full kit. I watch it in my |
