On this week's show we discuss the last pre-season friendly against Man City, and the injury to Gabriel which leaves us very short at centre-half. What will the solution be as we get closer to the Premier League opener against Liverpool on Sunday? And why the hell did we make such a balls of things? We chat about transfer activity, what kind of team we might field against the Mugsmashers, answer lots of listener questions about transfers and the state of the squad, and there's the long-awaited Nando's report after Arseblog sampled it for the very first time.
