On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive into the world of football technology and discuss how it’s changing the modern game—starting with the always controversial VAR!

The lads give their verdict on whether VAR is improving football or completely killing the joy for fans and players alike. They also debate if we’re heading toward an American-style football experience with fan parks and half-time entertainment getting bigger every season…

But it’s not all serious chat - Chris reveals the hilarious tale of the “Muff Diving Association,” in Muff, a real place in Northern Ireland, and the lads are keen to sign up!

Plus, the lads explore how clubs like Brighton and Brentford are using data and algorithms to scout players and stay ahead of the competition.

Get ready for football insights, loads of laughs, and some outrageous stories—all on this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast!
