In this emotional and wide-ranging episode Tabs and Jamie tackle the difficult but essential conversation around the recent developments involving ex-Arsenal player Thomas Partey, following his formal charges.. We reflect on the club's handling of the situation, the reaction among Arsenal supporters, and the wider implications for the club's values and reputation.

The episode also acknowledges the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and brother André, reminding us all of the human side of football and the fragility of life, even for those in the public eye.

From there we move on as, the footballing world invariably does, and the tone shifts as we dive into the world of Arsenal transfers , including the long-awaited arrival of Martín Zubimendi and what his signing means for Arsenal's midfield. We also discuss the striker saga with Victor Gyökeres, the potential arrivals f Noni Madueke & Eze, and why squad depth, floor raising and versatility could be key to Arsenal's upcoming campaign.
