Charlie Austin and Peter Redding are back — and Chaz has a strong message over the treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo. At 41, has one of football’s all-time greats earned the right to decide when his international career ends? Charlie believes the respect Ronaldo has earned throughout his career means you simply can’t treat him like any other player.
There’s also a brilliant debate over the greatest players ever to grace the EFL. Adel Taarabt, Paul Merson, Peter Whittingham, Lee Trundle, Jamie Vardy and plenty more enter the conversation as Charlie explains why the EFL remains the heartbeat of English football.
Plus, the Manchester City story continues to rumble on. With whistleblower Rui Pinto claiming there could be more revelations to come involving clubs, players and football authorities, Charlie asks what continued off-field controversy is doing to the game.
And with PlayNimbus Friday upon us, Charlie and Pete tackle Italy v France, the players to watch and the big selection decisions ahead of the latest Chaz Kicks Off challenge.
