An inside view of the club during Champions League week l The Dispatch | The Arsenal Podcast | Ep.19

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 across all competitions.

The pair kick things off by reliving a dramatic night at the Amex. Frimmy shares stories from filming Away Days, roaming the stadium and feeling the confident Brighton build-up before kick-off, while Josh recounts a memorable press box experience alongside Martin Keown, who spent the match commentating from behind them like a co-commentator while nervously trying (and failing) to ignore score updates from Manchester City’s game.

Attention then turns to the FA Cup trip to Mansfield, where the hosts soak up the magic of a classic cup tie. From sitting among home fans with laptops on their knees to Frimmy’s pitchside vantage point near the travelling Arsenal supporters, the match had everything: belief from the hosts, a surreal Arsène Wenger quote greeting the team in the stadium concourse, and a historic night for two 16-year-olds starting for the Gunners.

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.

Away days aside, there’s also plenty happening off the pitch, with the launch of the brand-new Arsenal app taking centre stage. Club Social Media Editor Gianluca Freschi joins the show to guide Josh and Frimmy through the mountain of new content now available – including Bukayo Saka’s cultural chat show The Link Up, dating show The Big Match and the highly anticipated Martin Odegaard documentary 'Modern Leader', that Josh was heavily involved in.

Looking ahead, the hosts preview a huge week with Bayer Leverkusen away in the Champions League, the return of Arsenal Women in the WSL, and Everton visiting north London.
