    Charlie Austin is back from his American adventure, and he's returned with a few things to say! First up, Arsenal. After setting social media alight with his comments about Gunners supporters, Charlie explains why he's had enough of the online fanbase, despite admitting Arsenal produced a defensive masterclass at Anfield.

Charlie questions the expectations of Newcastle supporters, warns Sunderland that relegation is a genuine possibility, and asks whether fans have forgotten how far their clubs have come.

    Has European Football Lost Its Magic?

    Has European football lost its magic? Charlie Austin is on fire in this week's Chaz Kicks Off as he and Peter Redding question whether European club football has become too predictable, too crowded and a shadow of the competitions we once loved. With 36 teams in each of UEFA's three major club competitions, have we sacrificed quality for quantity? Are the early rounds little more than glorified pre-season friendlies? And does the real competition only begin when the knockout stages arrive? Charlie doesn't hold back, delivering a particularly savage assessment of Celtic's European struggles and questioning the gulf between Europe's biggest clubs and the rest. Elsewhere, Charlie defends Manchester United's Lisandro Martínez for speaking his mind, questions Liverpool's £116 million investment in Florian Wirtz, discusses Alexander Isak's fitness and offers his thoughts on Eddie Howe and Newcastle United. Plus, could European football become a problem for Sunderland domestically? We also preview the weekend's Premier League and EFL action, with plenty of predictions, dressing-room insight and the usual laughs.
