    Semi-Final Secured, Charlie George Doc Teaser & Arteta Speaks on City Clash
    Apr 18 2026
    Josh and Frimmy are back in the studio after we booked our place in the Champions League semi-finals. The pair reflect on a big evening at Emirates Stadium and another rock-solid defensive display as we continue their unbeaten run in Europe this season. Josh breaks down the numbers behind an impressive European campaign - including a string of clean sheets that have powered the club into the final four for back-to-back seasons. With Atlético Madrid up next, the excitement (and anticipation) is already building. Attention quickly turns to the Premier League, with a blockbuster clash against Manchester City on the horizon. The hosts discuss what’s at stake, what it takes to win at the Etihad, and defining moments in previous seasons. We also hear directly from manager Mikel Arteta, who shares his thoughts on the challenge ahead and the opportunity his side has earned. Off the pitch, there’s a spotlight on a brand new documentary landing on our new app The Arsenal, telling the story of club legend Charlie George. From local lad to FA Cup final hero, the “King of Highbury” is brought to life for a new generation and the hosts reflect on why his legacy still resonates today. There’s also a nostalgic dive into cult heroes and underrated names from Arsenal’s past, including stories of Invincibles-era characters and the revelation that one former title-winner even trained as a boxer.
