Cristiano Ronaldo is dominating the headlines again — but this time it’s not goals… it’s a standoff.

We break down the “on strike” noise, why the club (and the league) can’t be seen to bend, and the uncomfortable truth: when you’re a global icon brought in to elevate a whole project, your behaviour carries national-level consequences — and your legacy can take a hit fast.

Then we flip it to a proper football hero: James Milner on the brink of 654 Premier League appearances. From £70 a week to history — a reminder that greatness isn’t always loud.

ransfer deadline day wasn’t dull — it was mad.

We break down the £48m Jørgen Strand Larsen shock (one Premier League goal… seriously?) and ask when does football inflation stop?

Then the drama: Mateta’s “dream move” to AC Milan and why medicals can flip a deal in seconds — with Charlie’s own story of a Premier League move collapsing at Hull (and how Harry Redknapp took the gamble anyway.

Plus: the Tonali-to-Arsenal noise, what it says about modern transfers, and a brutally honest chat on Newcastle’s season, PSR frustration, loyalty vs ruthlessness, and what happens if the purse strings never open.

We finish on a high: QPR bounce back, a filthy instinctive finish, and why the streets won’t forget that Charlie celebration.

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.

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.
