In this Boxing Day special of Chaz Kicks Off, Charlie Austin doesn’t hold back — questioning how tradition has been ripped up, why fans are paying the price, and whether the Premier League has completely lost touch.

We get into Chelsea vs Villa, Man United vs Newcastle, Arsenal’s title nerves, Wolves’ grim reality, VAR chaos, and why some managers have finally had enough of the officiating circus.

Plus — after festive excess, Charlie admits it’s time for a reset. A New Year fitness challenge is coming, and we’ll be tracking it episode by episode.

Strong opinions. Proper football chat. And a Boxing Day rant that needed saying.

It’s the festive build-up and the Premier League served up pure chaos.

We also launch Charlie’s Card — our new predictions game where you go head-to-head with Charlie for bragging rights (and a place on the pod). And guess what? Charlie finished 2nd… but a Dubai-based Liverpool fan nicked the top spot.
