We’re back in the Emirates Stadium studio for another packed edition of The Dispatch, with Frimmy and Josh James reunited after Josh’s brief spell on the sidelines.
There’s plenty for the guys to get into, starting with Sunday’s frustrating result, the bigger‑picture perspective from Mikel Arteta, and Bukayo Saka’s measured post‑match reflections.
With a Champions League clash against Kairat looming, Josh breaks down the possibility of making it eight wins from eight, plus another remarkable European stat for the club.
Emma Holbrook returns to dive into a historic win for Arsenal Women at Stamford Bridge, their first there since 2018, with Beth Mead marking her nine‑year anniversary in style. Emma also previews the first‑ever FIFA Champions Cup, explaining the new global competition, the semi‑final against AS FAR, and what it would mean to potentially lift a world title at Emirates Stadium.
We also hear exclusive insight from Leah Williamson, who reflects on her Champions League triumph, managing injury setbacks, and the mental resilience that has defined her journey.
