  • 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.

  • North London joy, Vic’s heroics and the power of No More Red

    North London joy, Vic’s heroics and the power of No More Red
    Feb 25 2026
    Frimmy and Josh James reflect on a seismic North London Derby win that has Arsenal fans still smiling days later. The boys share their first‑hand experiences from inside Tottenham’s stadium, including press box perspectives, social‑side chaos, witnessing Gyökeres’ ruthless brace, Eze's incredible derby record and the emotional moments felt around the away end. There’s also time for a trip down memory lane featuring David Seaman, old club magazines, and how working matchdays has evolved for both hosts. But this week’s episode carries a deeper message. As the No More Red campaign returns, Frim and Josh welcome Arsenal in the Community’s Senior Social Inclusion Manager, Jack Ironside, for a powerful conversation on the fifth year of the initiative. Jack explains the real‑world impact of the programme, from safe spaces across north London to the families supported by Arsenal and Adidas, and the moving story of Tashan Daniel, whose journey to Emirates Stadium is honoured in this year’s film. It’s an emotional reminder that what makes Arsenal special goes far beyond 90 minutes. Stick around to the end of the pod as we play a clip from the No More Red 2026 campaign video.
