Hello and welcome to the TIFO Football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and today I'm joined by Seb Stafford Blore.

Hi Joe.

Seb and I were joined today by Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas, Arsenal Correspondence for The Athletic.

primarily during warm weather training in Dubai, after which it was obviously forgiven and reintegrated.

Firstly, I wanted to ask what those issues were, and then secondly, I would ask about the latest episode,

which has flared up following that defeat to Brighton and the incident involving Neil Mope. So perhaps James, we could start with you there. Yeah. I mean, in the case of Gonduzzi,

I think it is, you know, the consequence of lots of different incidents. I mean, one that was
