    Wembley Awaits: White, Havertz & Arteta Ahead of the Final
    Mar 20 2026
    Wembley Awaits: White, Havertz & Arteta Ahead of the Final Josh goes solo at Sobha this week as The Dispatch builds up to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. With Frimmy away, two special guests step in – Ben White and Kai Havertz. Ben discusses his return from injury, the rhythm of a relentless season and how the squad are approaching Wembley, while Kai reflects on reaching 100 appearances for the club, his love of the big occasion and why cup finals bring out the best in him. There’s also insight into what makes Wembley so unique, from the split crowd and showpiece atmosphere to the challenge of keeping preparations grounded despite the magnitude of the occasion. Later in the episode, Josh sits down with Mikel Arteta for a Dispatch exclusive, as the manager shares his thoughts on returning to Wembley, the importance of having supporters back in the stadium and why lifting silverware at this stage of the season could be a defining moment for the team. With Manchester City up next under the arch, the episode rounds off with a full preview of the final, the stakes, and what it would mean to bring the trophy back to north London. Another big week, another big episode. Make sure you’re subscribed wherever you get your podcasts, and head to YouTube, arsenal.com or The Arsenal app to watch the full show.

  • Away day wins, the stats behind our season and our exclusive Odegaard documentary

    Away day wins, the stats behind our season and our exclusive Odegaard documentary
    Mar 11 2026
    Josh and Frimmy return to the Emirates Stadium studio after another huge week for Arsenal, with wins over Brighton and Mansfield keeping the momentum rolling. The pair kick things off by reliving a dramatic night at the Amex, with Josh recounting a memorable press-box experience alongside a superstitious Martin Keown. Attention then turns to Saturday’s FA Cup trip to Mansfield, where our hosts discuss everything from the pre-match food offering and surprise appearance of an Arsene Wenger soundbite to the fact we made history as the first Premier League side to field two 16-year-olds in any competition. Josh also digs into the numbers behind Arsenal’s remarkable season so far, including the club reaching 100 goals for the campaign, a record-breaking win percentage and the highest scoring rate for more than 70 years. Elsewhere, Gianluca Freschi drops in for Content Corner where we spotlight our new club app, The Arsenal. Conversation centres on the slate of original content released as part of its launch, including highly anticipated Martin Odegaard documentary Modern Leader - which Josh played an important role in producing. We also preview a huge week with Bayer Leverkusen away in the Champions League, the return of Arsenal Women in the WSL, and Everton at home in the Premier League. Another packed week, another packed episode. Make sure you’re subscribed wherever you get your podcasts, and head to YouTube, arsenal.com or the brand-new Arsenal app to watch the full show.

  • Chelsea Pitchside Chaos, FA Cup Throwback & Special Ødegaard Teaser

    Chelsea Pitchside Chaos, FA Cup Throwback & Special Ødegaard Teaser
    Mar 4 2026
    Josh and Frimmy are back in the Emirates Stadium studio after a huge Premier League win against Chelsea. Our hosts kick things off with stories from pitchside including Frimmy’s Tunnel Cam duties and a star‑studded touchline featuring Emmanuel Petit, Gilberto Silva, Freddie Ljungberg and Patrick Vieira all wandering through their live broadcast. Josh relives the heart‑stopping moment he thought Chelsea had snatched a late equaliser, and the relief (and chaos) that followed when the offside flag finally went up. With Brighton on the horizon, the hosts dig into two major milestones: David Raya’s 100th Premier League appearance for the club and Bukayo Saka closing in on his 300th game in all competitions. There’s also plenty of nostalgia as they recall big moments at the Amex, including Martin Odegaard’s outrageous through‑ball on a freezing New Year’s Eve away day. FA Cup talk follows, with Mansfield away providing an old‑school cup tie feel, plus rotation chat and the odd geography lesson. The conversation inevitably turns to Europe too, with Bayer Leverkusen ahead and some eyebrow‑raising personal scheduling conflicts involving a stag do and a certain Champions League final. The Captain’s Call returns as Josh reveals what he and Odegaard discussed after the club’s fundraising ball, including why Frimmy is now banned (self‑imposed) from auctions after almost ending up £20,000 out of pocket thanks to an itchy nose. And to round things off, the pair drop an exclusive teaser for a brand new project with the Arsenal skipper landing later this week. There’s also a look ahead to a huge month for Arsenal Women, with WSL action returning and three massive Emirates derbies on the calendar. Another big week, another big episode.
