“This podcast makes me want to join them and have a beer with them. Steve Sidwell has been a great addition to the team and Chris keeps the structure of the podcast whilst Peter Crouch goes through some of his back stories. Now that he is retired though I would prefer that he named names of some...”Read full review »

“Used to listen to this show religiously but it’s been completely ruined by the new format, constant hidden adverts and the repeated unfunny gags and banter that go on far too long and just make it unlistenable m.”

“Used to be the top football podcast mainly thanks to the well driven insight of Tom Fordyce and the behind the scenes look at football from the voice of Peter crouch however, too much input from Chris Stark who thinks he’s still on Radio 1 playing silly games with his radio friends, interruptions...”Read full review »

“Are used to like this podcast when it was on BBC, but now it is unfortunately a load of rubbish. Full of adverts and pointless chatter. Think they just do the podcast for something to do in the week as usually just making up stuff to talk about for the sake of it. Don’t think I’ll bother...”Read full review »

“This podcast used to be good back in the day when it was about giving the listeners an insight into the life of a pro footballer with some good banter and laughs thrown in… Now it’s not even close to being that. It’s mainly full of ads and promotions for booze and stuff that nobody wants/needs…...”Read full review »

“The balance between Crouch, Stark, and Fordyce worked so well in the old podcast. Now it’s just two former footballers bullying a non-footballer, which feels strange after ‘That Peter Crouch Film’ focused so much on how he grew up being made fun of.
Also, sorry to keep mentioning the old podcast,...”Read full review »

“This used to be a great podcast, but it’s become one giant brewdog advert with a tiny bit of podcast, and even then it’s the same repeat jokes (puddings is massive etc) with Chris derailling any of the interesting chat by interrupting a guest or making a stupid suggestion.
Real shame the way...”Read full review »

“Crouch is consistently lovely and knowledgable.

Sids is harmless enough but doesn’t add anything and certainly isn’t an enjoyable companion...”Read full review »

“Almost made a comeback, but it’s gone even more downhill recently. The in-jokes are so bad and laboured beyond death. Do they really think people are finding the puddings, bbq or pancake chat funny? And the constant ads and Brewdog beer chat is more toxic than the brand itself. It means I’ve...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened on and off to this over the years. It’s not a hugely funny podcast. And definitely not half as funny as they think it is. The constant attempt to make their tedious in jokes go viral becomes very tiring after a while. I only listen now if they’re interviewing someone who interests me.”

“Can be a good listen at times. Seems to have gone downhill a bit recently though. Can be a bit repetitive talking about the same subjects over and over such as the same old bbq chat which takes up time on most episodes. Also really struggle with Crouchy constantly slurping on his own saliva.”
