The Premier League’s been called “stale”… so the FA Cup turned up and chose chaos. 🔥
This Monday round-up is pure third-round madness: cupsets, red cards, extra time and goals flying in — including one of the biggest shocks in years as holders Crystal Palace get dumped out at Macclesfield after the volunteers clear the pitch and the underdogs do the rest.

New Year, same madness. Charlie’s back — and he’s not holding back. We’ve got the Blackpool ‘hotel room’ farce (yes, they made fans shut the curtains), Chelsea’s manager gone with a ten-million handshake, Arsenal looking like the festive period’s big winners, and Liverpool’s drop-off getting harder to watch. Plus: Newcastle fan reality checks, and Charlie’s Card is live — take him on and you could end up on the pod.

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.

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.
