About this listen

Chaz Kicks Off is a straight-talking Premier League football podcast hosted by former Premier League striker Charlie Austin, with broadcaster and presenter Peter Redding steering the conversation.

Each episode breaks down the week in football through Charlie’s eyes — the opinions players actually have, the moments fans never hear about, and the unfiltered honesty only someone who’s lived it can give. From Premier League talking points to behind-the-scenes stories, match insights, big personalities, and the occasional bit of chaos, the show delivers football as it should be: real, informed, and brilliantly entertaining.

Whether it’s dissecting the weekend’s drama, calling out what doesn’t sit right, or celebrating what makes the game special, Chaz Kicks Off brings fans closer to the sport with smart takes, strong views, and proper football chat every week.

If you love football, big opinions, and hearing the game from someone who’s been there, you’re in the right place.

New episodes weekly.

    Arsenal Are Champions (Because Nobody’s Fighting Them)

    It’s the Thursday edition of Chaz Kicks Off and Charlie’s on the move — suitcases packed, passport out, and a proper QPR trip incoming.

    Chas is heading to New York for a fan takeover with the NYC R’s, a meet-and-greet, a bit of classic shirts culture, and even Nets vs Celtics at the Barclays before the big one: QPR vs Wrexham on Saturday. Proper transatlantic scenes.

    Then it’s back to the Premier League — and we’re calling it early: “Arsenal are champions”… not because it’s done on paper, but because nobody looks like they’s got the stomach to chase them down. Squad depth for days, defensive steel, and a level of consistency everyone else is failing to match.

    BORING BORING FOOTBALL!
    Jan 19 2026

    Super Sunday’s become Snoozy Sunday, and we’re not even going to pretend otherwise.

    In this Monday bulletin, Charlie Austin tears into the state of the Premier League right now: same tactics, same slow build-up, same “chess match” nonsense… and fans paying top money to watch 90 minutes of nothing.

    Man United Are a Circus, Spurs Are Broken-and the No.9 Is DEAD!
    Jan 15 2026


    Manchester United are a circus. Spurs fans are booing again. And Charlie Austin says the traditional No.9 is officially dead.

    In this week’s episode of Chaz Kicks Off, Charlie doesn’t hold back as we tear into the chaos engulfing the Premier League — from United’s never-ending managerial confusion to Tottenham’s identity crisis and why modern forwards just aren’t clinical anymore.
