It was a weekend full of drama, collapse and serious questions at the top — and one standout performance in West London.

Charlie Austin doesn’t hold back as he breaks down:

• Tottenham’s embarrassing collapse at home — are Spurs in real trouble?

• Sunderland’s derby win and why they deserved it

And finally… a rare moment of sunshine:

QPR absolutely tear Portsmouth apart 6-1 in a huge statement performance — is this the standard they should be hitting every week?

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.

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 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.

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.
