On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Chris has done a runner to catch his son’s first nativity play and has left Crouchy and Sids flying solo - as they talk preparation for their upcoming go karting showdown next week. 

The Karting challenge, which was born out of Sids throwing down the gauntlet to ‘challenge Bridgey’ got the lads thinking about some of the toughest challenges they have faced in their careers, both on and off the pitch. 

The lads discuss the early pressures of dedicating your life to being a footballer as your mates hit the town on the lash, proving your worth when breaking into first team squads and the mental toll that being sidelined through injury can have on a player. 

The lads also discuss how they now find themselves challenging their own children and the next generation to get the best out of themselves and the different challenges this new wave of athletes face compared to them.

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.
