Summary

Peter Crouch details how stats and analysis have become ingrained in football, which results in players taking a huge interest in how their data is interpreted. The boys analyse some of Crouchy’s own stats including the controversial XG or ‘expected goals’ and we get more details on the pod’s new billboard which is designed and produced by Crouchy himself.

0:04.6	Hello there, David Howles here. I thought about setting a record straight about when
0:09.1	Crouchy lost my football boots when he was an apprentice at Tottenham.
0:12.6	First of all though, I must warn you that the following podcast will contain some strong language
0:17.8	and my certainly adult themes. And also more than likely is that someone will be lying about

0:59.6	Yeah, good. I'm Chris. I enjoyed. I know it's very different to Emcee Neat, but I enjoyed

1:10.7	they come getting involved in the podcast like a week or two later, it's good and this has been a
1:14.6	big mystery, hasn't it?
1:16.8	That was quite scary hearing that voice again because probably the last time I heard it,
1:19.9	it was bollicking me for losing his boots. I think he's moved on. I'd like to think he's moved on.
