On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris and Sid’s are all back together down the Chumbawambar discussing all the highs and lows that have happened in this week’s world of football. 

The lads give their reaction to the speedy appointment of Amorim at the helm of Manchester United, as well as whether he would be wise to keep Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the fold after his near perfect performances as caretaker managers. 

With a continued dominant performance at the top of the table, Chris has extended his lead over a languishing 3rd place Sids - whose arse has well and truly gone - and he looks hopeful at finishing the year in top spot.

Before heading into this weekend’s predictions, the lads give their views on the short lived blueys that were almost brought into the beautiful game, and Crouchy reminisces on the time Mourinho tried to entice him back to Tottenham. 

Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, the lads give their predictions on the Chelsea v Arsenal, West Ham v Everton and Man Utd v Leicester games which all promise to be full of drama and have great potential to upset our own leaderboard.
