EP. 404 | That End Of Season Episode: We CALLED Declan Rice The Morning After Arsenal WON The League

On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids wrap up another chaotic Premier League season… but not before getting distracted by AI-generated football conspiracies, military dolphins, and Declan Rice answering a FaceTime call LIVE on the podcast the morning after his 5am title celebrations.

The lads dive into Arsenal finally getting over the line after 22 years of waiting, with an emotional live chat from Declan Rice fresh off the back of the celebrations, plus debate whether guards of honour have officially become the most awkward tradition in football.

There’s also discussion around Liverpool’s uncertain future, Mohamed Salah’s comments, Spurs surviving the drop, and the absolute madness surrounding Southampton’s playoff controversy.

Elsewhere, the pod spirals beautifully into conversations about fake AI football news, Jose Mourinho rumours, and whether anyone can actually trust the internet anymore. Plus, the Football League season finally comes to an end as Sids is crowned champion… and receives one of the most outrageous prizes the podcast has ever seen.

It’s the final Premier League episode of the season — and naturally, it completely loses the plot.
