Tabs and Jamie (despite technical issues) return after the October Internationals to catch up on Arsenal players’ performances, injury updates, and club news. From Merino’s goal-scoring spree for Spain to Saka’s trademark finish for England, the duo reflect on who impressed and — more importantly — who came back unscathed. They also dive into reports of a new contract for David Raya, explore the feasibility of expanding the Emirates Stadium, what to expect from the next set of fixtures and give a Fulham preview.

📌 Topics covered in this episode:

• Arsenal players’ international performances: Saka, Merino, Martinelli, Eze, Ethan, and more
• Merino’s prolific form for Spain and his evolving role at Arsenal
• David Raya’s reported contract upgrade
• Emirates Stadium expansion rumours: logistics, planning hurdles, and fan impact
• Reflections on crowd diversity and ticket demand
• Upcoming fixtures before the next international break
