Summary
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris open the floodgates on everything that makes fans mutter those three sacred words… “the game’s gone.” From goalkeepers stubbornly playing out from the back to laser shows, forced atmospheres, half-and-half scarves and walking around the club badge, nothing is off limits.
The lads debate whether modern football presentation has gone too far, question where respect actually begins and ends, and ask if tradition is slowly being replaced by gimmicks. There’s also a passionate rant about why Transfer Deadline Day has lost its magic, why phones on the pitch should be banned, and whether celebrating against your old club is actually disrespectful.
So… what do you think belongs on the “Game’s Gone” board? Let us know in the comments.
