On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by Premier League legend James Milner — and it's every bit as honest, chaotic, and insightful as you'd expect. From breaking appearance records to being labelled “boring,” Milner opens up on the mentality that's kept him at the top for over two decades.He takes us right back to his Leeds debut at just 16, the brutal dressing room culture that shaped him, and the surreal transition from academy kid to first-team regular. The conversation dives deep into his time at Newcastle and Aston Villa, before lifting the lid on the madness at Manchester City — big egos, training ground bust-ups, and the relentless fight to stay in the team amid £30m signings every summer.Milner also shares incredible insight into Liverpool's transformation under Jürgen Klopp — from early disappointments to building a title-winning machine — revealing the intensity, leadership, and culture that powered one of the most dominant teams in Premier League history.There's also plenty of classic pod chaos: dressing room pranks, wild fines, and stories that perfectly sum up why Milner is one of football's most respected pros. After Milner departs, the lads wrap things up with a Paddy Power segment and this week's Chaos Card, making some very questionable “phone a friend” calls…Chumbawamba00:00 - Intro, chaos & podcast return00:14 - Testicular cancer awareness message00:48 - Giveaway winner & merch chat02:26 - Milner joins the pod03:00 - “Boring Milner” label explained03:38 - Breaking the appearance record05:16 - Dealing with attention & praise06:44 - Avoiding the limelight08:12 - Fitness, longevity & elite standards10:03 - Dad's influence & mentality10:36 - Old-school Leeds dressing room culture12:18 - Leadership & helping younger players14:46 - Debut at 16 for Leeds16:01 - First team training shock00:17:37 - Premier League debut story19:29 - Dressing room pranks & chaos21:41 - Earning respect as a young player24:15 - Aston Villa move & failed transfer26:29 - Villa form & career progression29:00 - Playing 7 positions in one game30:56 - Man City move & title-winning journey33:25 - Big egos, fights & training chaos37:02 - Aguero title moment reaction39:11 - Liverpool move explained42:19 - First impressions of Liverpool45:51 - Klopp's arrival & ruthless standards47:19 - Intensity of Klopp training50:10 - Personal connection & leadership1:05:00 - Listener messages & wrap up1:18:46 - Milner leaves the podcast1:20:30 - Post-interview debrief with the lads1:25:10 - Paddy Power segment1:30:15 - Chaos Card: Phone a Friend begins1:35:40 - Celebrity calls chaos & wrap-up1:38:50 - OutroFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

There's insight into THAT front three, the importance of players like James Milner, and the relentless mentality that drove Mo Salah to world-class levels.Klopp also gives a rare look into life as a manager — dealing with unhappy players, creating belief, and why sometimes… you need to make players angry to make them better.We also ask the big question.. do you miss it all?Plus, we get stuck into World Cup predictions, Harry Kane's evolution, and of course… things take a classic Crouchy turn with shin pads, mobile networks, and some unexpected Giffgaff slander.After the Klopp chat, Pete, Sids and Chris break it all down — from what makes Klopp so special, to just how close Liverpool came to complete domination.This is a MASSIVE episode.

This podcast expands on the themes explored in their joint ‘player voice' editorial. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/23/1703 It's a thoughtful, honest and highly insightful discussion from two players who have seen and been a part of  the evolution of professional football.”

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by Fulham's in-form winger and Welsh international Harry Wilson — and there are some unbelievable stories behind his rise.Harry opens up about the incredible moment his grandad placed a £50 bet on him to play for Wales when he was just 18 months old — a punt that eventually paid out £125,000 when Harry made his debut years later. It's a story so good it genuinely sounds like a film.The conversation also dives into Harry's journey through Liverpool's academy, signing his first contract at just nine years old, and learning from elite players like James Milner, Adam Lallana, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino in Jurgen Klopp's first-team training sessions.Harry explains the reality of the loan system in football, including the tough spell that nearly derailed his career before a confidence rebuild back at Liverpool helped turn things around.There are also brilliant insights into the Wales national team, including what it was like playing alongside Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, the electric atmosphere of the Welsh anthem, how Craig Bellamy's strict standards are shaping the new generation, and Harry reveals his personal favourite goal ever — a stunning free kick at Old Trafford for Derby County.On top of that, there are of course some classic Crouch pod shenanigans, such as Sid's surreal story about drinking Bollinger with Brazilian Ronaldo on a ski trip, debating the correct size of shin pads, and Crouchy settles the confusion around a recently surfaced video of him and Messi's 1v1 in Croydon…Chumbawamba00:00 - Subscribe song & Intro01:21 - The “wrong glass for drinks” debate03:30 - Sid's ski trip and meeting Brazilian Ronaldo06:20 - Asking Ronaldo what phone network he's on08:45 - Ski trip stories continue10:48 - Harry Wilson joins the podcast11:30 - Harry's incredible season at Fulham12:50 - Palace or Spurs goal – his favourite this season13:45 - Listening to the podcast & life with a newborn14:40 - Shin pad debate: modern footballers wear tiny ones18:05 - Signing for Liverpool at just 9 years old20:10 - Growing up in rural Wales21:45 - The call from Ian Rush22:50 - Wales debut at 16 years old23:50 - The famous £50 bet from his grandad26:30 - Passion & playing for your country 28:30 - Michael Sheen's team speech31:10 - The harsh reality of loan spells in football33:00 - Injury setbacks and rebuilding confidence33:50 - Training with Klopp's Liverpool first team36:40 - Best player in Liverpool training?38:20 - England's chances at the World Cup40:00 - Craig Bellamy's strict standards with Wales42:10 - Bellamy's dressing room rules44:40 - What players do on Wales international camps46:05 - Marco Silva's impact at Fulham47:55 - Harry reveals which phone network he uses49:20 - Favourite goal ever: free kick at Old Trafford51:00 - Set-piece tactics in modern football55:00 - Listener questions & football stories01:03:19 - Harry Wilson leaves the podcast01:04:20 - Paddy Power's Cheltenham segment01:07:00 - Score predictions begin01:10:30 - Spurs' struggles discussed01:16:10 -Crouchy and Messi in Croydon?01:17:00 - OutroFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Pressure builds everywhere.On today's Morning Espresso, we break down Atlanta United's season-opening loss in Cincinnati and explain our new three-part match coverage model: The Game Story, Maddie's Version, and The Long View.Across MLS, Matchday 1 delivered 46 goals, a record opening-day crowd in Los Angeles, a youth movement in New York, and early statements from contenders. In North London, Arsenal responded to doubt with authority while Tottenham slide toward real relegation danger. Barcelona reclaimed first place in La Liga, PSG moved back to the top in France, and chaos unfolded in Scotland's title race.We also cover the Vinícius investigation in Europe, Sheffield Wednesday's historic February relegation, James Milner's Premier League appearance record, Marcelo Gallardo's uncertainty at River Plate, unrest in Rosario ahead of the clásico, Fernando Diniz's dismissal at Vasco, Casemiro's potential MLS future, and match postponements in Mexico amid security concerns.Seasons are beginning in some places and tightening in others. The stakes are rising everywhere.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana y Hugo Sancha para analizar todo lo ocurrido en un frenético fin de semana en la Premier League...Empezando por el por fin brillante triunfo del Arsenal, en el North London Derby, contra el Tottenham, para reafianzarse como el líder de la competición; pero cuya estela sigue el Manchester City tras derrotar como prácticamente siempre y últimamente más al Newcastle; como últimamente el Liverpool no ha podido dejar de sufrir contra el Nottingham Forest, indistintamente de su entrenador, pero que esta vez se resolvió con victoria del vigente campeón de la Premier League; de la cual se convirtió, en solitario, en el jugador con más partidos jugados de su historia James Milner en la victoria del Brighton contra el Brentford; mientras que otra de las sorpresas fue el Burnley rescatando un corajudo punto de Stamford Bridge contra el inevitablemente serpenteante Chelsea; cosa que también pudo hacer el Aston Villa, pese a que hubiese esperado ganar, pero así es la vida con tantos lesionados claves y más todavía cuando te visita el actual Leeds United; mientras que el actual West Ham es capaz de hacer partidazos contra el Bournemouth pero, si bien no perdió, sin lograr de rematarlo en victoria; algo que sí pudo hacer el Crystal Palace, envuelto en su presente crisis existencial, contra el Wolverhampton; pero no el Sunderland, atrevesando un camino bacheado que ya ha comenzado a bajarle de su pedestal, perdiendo contra el Fulham; en Championship, mientras tanto, tuvimos de todo un poco y un poco de todo con el Coventry y el Middlesbrough todavía en ascenso, la victoria del Wrexham, el descenso confirmado del Sheffield Wednesday, la llegada de Gary Rowett al Leicester; antes de terminar con una nueva víctima que se ha cobrado la Superliga Europea de fútbol y mucho más.Apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151425089Además...

An absolute snooze-fest against Salford won't stop us! Never fear, the Blue Moon Podcast is here to try and find the interesting bits of a dull game... Or, we might actually focus more on the other bits of news from the week. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from The Times, Paul Hirst to discuss everything from the last seven days. In the news is James Trafford – he's given a couple of interviews about his situation at the club and the reaction has been very polarised... Should he have stayed quiet now that the transfer window is shut or did he actually say nothing that was a problem, given his lack of game time since he arrived back from Burnley? On top of that, it's time for Newcastle this weekend... as the title-race gets more interesting, following Arsenal's draw at Wolves. We'll get the views of Sam Dalling from the Newcastle podcast True Faith. And, on top of that, as James Milner looks likely to be the outright record-holder for players with the most Premier League appearances, we look at the four players of the top five appearance-makers who have pulled on the City shirt. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Gonzalo Carol, Santi Bauzá y Rafa Pastrana para analizar toda la acción en la jornada de la Premier League...Comenzando por el empate que logró arrancar el Tottenham de las manos del Manchester City en la estelar legítima reaparición de Dominic Solanke; continuando por la remontada del Chelsea de Liam Rosenior sobre el West Ham de Paco Jémez (Nuno es secundario); por el Arsenal despedazando al Leeds a base de jugadas a balón parado y algún pase de Odegaard; el Nottingham Forest empatando con el Crystal Palace a través de una segunda parte de pura y dura resistencia de inferioridad numérica; cosa que no tuvo el Manchester United pero que igualmente casi ve desvanecida su victoria rescatada finalmente por Benjamin Sesko frente al Fulham; mientras que frente al Newcastle el Liverpool logró la mejor versión de sus estrellas para hacer un pequeño destrozo al exequipo de Isak; el Brighton y el Everton jugaron un partido de fútbol que terminó en empate y dejó a James Milner a ya un sólo partido de igualar a Gareth Barry; el Brentford logró una de sus victorias más impresionantes de la temporada a costa del Aston Villa; el Bournemouth logró despedazar a esa inocente jauría de lobos en Wolverhampton; en Championship se han ido entrenadores españoles; muchos fichajes y mucho más.Escucha este episodio sin censura y con escena pre y post-créditos, apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/149719175Además...
