EP. 355 | ‘We’ve Gone Global’ Crouchy Passes the Pod to Ronaldo, Iniesta, Cafu and More!

New year, same chaos. Crouchy's dialling in from Dubai, Sid’s gone full flamenco, and Chris is still reeling from missing the greatest night in Ally Pally history.In this episode, the boys catch up post-Christmas and somehow end up covering robot massages, dodgy gift-giving, Sidwell’s ambition to become a Spanish guitar-playing Gypsy King, and whether the pod should launch a residency at Finsbury Park.Crouchy talks us through meeting Ronaldo at the World Sports Summit (yes, that Ronaldo), putting the podcast on the global stage, and why there’s a very real chance we could become PSG’s shirt sponsor.There’s also a very passionate rant about the FA Cup, a long-overdue roasting of Tottenham’s home form, and Chris has an existential breakdown over kids dressing as referees for Christmas.Darts.
