    Newcastle’s Season on the Line, Chelsea Torn Apart & QPR’s Big Weekend

    Newcastle United face a massive Premier League Tyne-Wear derby with Charlie Austin admitting the season could be defined by what happens against Sunderland. There is also a full takedown of Chelsea after another bruising European night, Liverpool’s response under pressure, Arsenal v Manchester City at Wembley, and why QPR have a real chance to build momentum at home this weekend in the EFL. Charlie also gives his honest view on Barcelona, PSG, Spurs, Forest, West Ham, Southampton and the biggest Championship fixtures, including a proper look at QPR’s mentality heading into Portsmouth after that big Leicester result.

    Liverpool Booed, Chelsea Embarrassed & Super Hoops Fight Back

    Liverpool get booed off at Anfield, Chelsea look a mess again, and Charlie Austin gives his verdict on a huge QPR response after going behind at Leicester. On this week’s Chaz Kicks Off, Charlie and Peter get stuck into a wild football weekend — from Spurs frustrating Liverpool, to Chelsea’s bizarre “respect the ball” nonsense, to Arsenal getting a title shove from a 16-year-old who should probably be in double maths. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

    Spurs Are Going Down, Gordon’s Excuse Stinks & The Premier League Got Exposed

    Tottenham are in absolute freefall and Charlie doesn’t hold back — if Spurs drop into the bottom three, the panic really starts. From the goalkeeper chaos to the manager being way out of his depth, this is a brutal takedown of the mess at Tottenham right now. The lads also tear into the Premier League’s awful week in Europe, with Chelsea and Man City getting shown up on the biggest stage, while Arsenal and Newcastle are left with huge second-leg questions. And then there’s Anthony Gordon — with Charlie calling the whole “I can give you 20 minutes” line absolutely ridiculous ahead of Newcastle’s biggest night. Plus: Liverpool vs Spurs, Chelsea vs Newcastle, Man United vs Villa, West Ham fancying a swing at City, QPR frustrations, Coventry flying, and why Middlesbrough just don’t want it enough. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

    Arsenal Killing Football? Refs Get Away With Murder. And QPR Are Just Existing

    This one’s a proper rant — because everyone’s finally saying what we’ve been saying for weeks: football’s turning into a grim product. Arsenal’s “dark arts”, time-wasting and anti-football tactics… are they clever, or are they ruining the Premier League? Liverpool look broken, refs keep dropping disasters with no real punishment, and QPR? Mid-table comfort zone again — and that’s exactly why it does your head in. FA Cup chaos, Newcastle’s mood shift, and the Championship play-off race getting messy. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

  5. Set Piece Chaos, Chelsea Red Cards & 5 Second Madness!

    2 MAR

    Set Piece Chaos, Chelsea Red Cards & 5 Second Madness!

    It was a weekend where defenders simply forgot their job. Chaz reckons it’s not “Arsenal are brilliant at corners”… it’s that nobody in the Premier League can defend set pieces, full stop — and the goal count proves it. We get into Arsenal’s cohesion vs Chelsea’s chaos (and their latest red card), the title race reality check, and why Manchester United still aren’t “in the conversation” despite the noise. Then we dive into the IFAB rule changes coming for 2026: five-second countdowns, tougher restarts, and what Chaz calls “daft ball” — but will refs actually enforce it, or is it just another rule in the drawer? Plus: Spurs sliding, relegation fear, midweek fixtures, and a proper nod to the Old Firm drama. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

  6. Snoop at Swansea, QPR in Chaos & World Class Nonsense

    Snoop at Swansea, QPR in Chaos & World Class Nonsense

    Is Anthony Gordon actually “world class”… or has that label become meaningless? We get right into the debate and why fans (and pundits) throw it around far too easily. Then it’s onto the Championship, where QPR’s form and mentality get absolutely questioned — from basics at the back to what on earth you’re doing having a huddle at 4–0 down. And just when you think football can’t get any stranger… Snoop Dogg turns up at Swansea. 2026 is officially unhinged. Also in a quick roundup: Newcastle’s European chat, West Brom’s managerial mess, Champions League thoughts, and a rapid-fire weekend preview. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

    Charlies Sunday Roast, Gary Neville Moaning & The Greatest No 9!

    Charlie’s back home, back to a proper Sunday roast… and straight into tearing apart “Super Sunday.” This week on Chaz Kicks Off, we ask the question plenty of fans are thinking: where’s the drama gone? The Premier League calls it the best product in the world — but too many games are feeling flat, predictable and lacking real quality. Charlie doesn’t hold back on Spurs’ struggles, Liverpool getting away with another underwhelming performance, and the growing gap between hype and reality. And yes — we address Gary Neville’s on-air moaning during the technology delay. Fans pay, pundits get paid… perspective matters. Plus, we launch this week’s big debate: who is the greatest number 9 of all time? R9? Shearer? Someone else? Give us your pick — and your reason. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.

    Dressing Room Chaos!

    Arsenal wobble? We’re going there. Saka’s deal, the big sub, dressing-room leaks, and Charlie’s verdict: no title = Arteta out. Plus Trippier vs Gordon after Newcastle hit six, Mourinho controversy, and John Terry vs Van Dijk. 🎧 This episode is powered by Huel Real football opinions need proper fuel.
