🎧 201 | Villa Review & Transfer Deadline Day Fallout

Épisode 201

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:34:21

Celebrating An Away Win Against Villa & Have We Let Arteta & The Players Down?

Arsenal are back to doing the most Arsenal thing imaginable: grinding out a tense, nervy, statistically dominant but emotionally chaotic 1–0 away win. Tabs is joined by Andy and Kuziva to break down the victory at Villa Park and to dive straight into the transfer deadline day fallout that has had heads falling off across the fanbase.

We start with the match: a controlled but cagey performance, elite defending, and a Saka strike that proved enough. The lads talk through the rhythm of the game, Villa’s mid‑to‑low block, the slower patterns in the first half, and why Arsenal looked more cautious than in the opening two fixtures. There’s discussion on Miles Lewis‑Skelly’s more conservative role, the right‑side dominance, and how Villa’s setup forced Arsenal into patience rather than chaos.

The subs get a big spotlight:

Bruno’s excellent cameo, threading passes and instantly looking at home
Zubimendi’s calming five‑minute masterclass
Eze’s impact
Konza’s assured introduction
Mosquera’s knock (and why it’s nothing serious)

Then we get into the refereeing because it was impossible not to. Tabs, Andy and Kuziva dissect one of the worst officiating performances we’ve seen in a long time: inconsistency, crowd bookings, missed fouls, bizarre advantage calls, and the Bruno penalty incident that somehow wasn’t given. When both sets of fans leave angry, you know the ref has had a shocker.

And then… Transfer Deadline Day.

Did Arsenal do enough?Should we have added a forward?Are we one Havertz injury away from trouble?Or is this squad, even without new arrivals, strong enough to defend the title?

It’s a lively, honest, passionate discussion about ambition, risk, squad building, and the fine margins that define elite football.

A gritty win, a quiet deadline day, and a big question hanging over the club.

🎧 TGP | After Review : GW2 Premier League 26/27

Saison 2627 · Épisode 2

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 01:14:29

AFTER REVIEW GW2 : Spurs Collapse Again, Liverpool Stumble, United Get 'Lucky'

Tabs and Gianluca return for Game Week 2 of The Grove's "After Review" podcast, the weekly Premier League roundup through an Arsenal lens.

We start with a quick thank‑you for the lovely feedback on the debut episode, then dive straight into the weekend’s action but not before Gianluca opens a surprise gift: a custom Arsenal “After Review” clock from listener Martin at Classic Football Clocks @ClassFootyClock. A perfect addition to his uni digs.

Then it’s onto the football, and there’s only one place to begin: Tottenham 0–2 Newcastle. We break down the pre‑match hype, the “Spud Bros” misplaced optimism, the stadium announcer’s chest‑thumping, and how quickly it all fell apart. Spurs dominate possession, create little, collapse after half‑time, and get booed off in their first home league game. Newcastle, meanwhile, execute their game plan perfectly — organised, sharp on the break, and quietly impressive across two tough opening fixtures. We also hear from Elliot, our Spurs correspondent, who gives a brutally honest view from the other side.

Next up: Liverpool 2–2 Nottingham Forest. Another slow, scrappy Liverpool performance, another comeback, another late equaliser. We talk through their full‑back issues, the midfield gaps, the lack of control, and how Forest exposed them repeatedly. Gakpo’s brilliance, Isaac’s tap‑in, and the growing sense that Liverpool are papering over cracks rather than solving them.

There’s also a quick look at the wider Premier League themes: Forest’s improvement, Newcastle’s resilience, Spurs’ cultural rot, and how early‑season patterns are already emerging.

Plus, a brief Arsenal detour Jesus, Vieira and Martinelli all departing on the same day and what that means for squad depth, the left‑hand side, and whether Arsenal might still move in the final hours of the window.

It’s another sharp, schadenfreude‑rich After Review: analysis, nonsense, rival pain, and Arsenal‑coloured commentary.

🎧 200 | UCL Draw, Transfers & Villa Preview

Épisode 200

jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 01:39:29

UCL DRAW REACTION, TRANSFER MUSINGS & AN ASTON VILLA AWAY PREVIEW

It’s a milestone episode — 200 — and Tabs is joined by Jamie to celebrate with a packed show: Champions League draw reaction, transfer sagas, Aston Villa preview, and a little origin story of The Grove.

We start with the brand‑new Champions League league‑phase draw, which dropped minutes before recording. Tabs reveals the fixtures live to Jamie: Real Madrid at home, Bayern away, Dortmund, Betis, Lille, Napoli, Slavia Prague and Sabah. We talk through the difficulty of the draw, the travel, the away allocations, the timing, and how the new format shapes Arsenal’s path. There’s chat about the luck of last year’s knockout run, the importance of finishing top eight, and how early fixtures against Bayern or Madrid could actually favour Arsenal.

Then it’s onto transfers. Reiss Nelson’s contract termination is confirmed — we reflect on his Arsenal journey, the Bournemouth moment, and why a clean break makes sense.

The Martinelli situation takes centre stage: the noise, the handling, the fee, the Saudi interest, the emotional side, and the cold business reality. We discuss whether Arsenal have outgrown him, whether the club could have managed it better, and how Arteta and Berta operate in these moments.

We also get into the Julián Álvarez chatter — what’s real, what isn’t, why Arsenal are even in the conversation, and whether he’s actually the profile Arteta would push for.

Finally, we preview Monday night’s trip to Villa Park. We look at Villa’s chaotic start, their squad losses, their Champions League burden, Emery’s strange comments, and how Arsenal should approach the game. We also discuss whether Konsa should start immediately or ease in behind Mosquera and White.

The episode closes with a short origin story: how The Grove WhatsApp group began, how the pod started, and how it grew into 200 episodes of Arsenal chat.

🎧 TGP | After Review : GW1 Premier League 26/27

Saison 2627 · Épisode 1

lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 01:00:17

AFTER REVIEW GW1 : Hull Maul United, Spurs Collapse, Villa Implode.

The Grove launches its brand‑new weekly “Afte Review” pod — a look back at the Premier League weekend through an Arsenal lens. Tabs is joined by "The Boy", Gianluca, for the debut episode, and Game Week 1 delivers an absolute feast of schadenfreude.

We talk through the new format, the father‑and‑son dynamic, and the joy of watching Match of the Day with the Arsenal trophy lift front and centre. Then it’s straight into the weekend’s carnage.

Hull 2–0 Manchester United:United arrive full of optimism… and get mauled by the Tigers. We break down the performance, the midfield issues, the defending, the comedy moments, and the wider mood around Old Trafford. We also hear from our United correspondent Martin, who gives his view on the defeat and the looming Ipswich fixture.

Brentford 3–0 Spurs:Spurs spend big, talk big, hype big… and collapse at the G‑Tech. We discuss Brentford’s energy, Tottenham’s passive midfield, their defensive chaos, and the early warning signs for Tottenham's new manager. We also bring in two fan perspectives — Tony (Brentford) and Elliot (Spurs) — for a brilliant contrast in tone.

Brighton 4–0 Aston Villa:Villa implode in spectacular fashion. Four goals conceded, a red card, an own goal, Watkins missing, Emery cryptic, and Brighton ruthless. We talk through the meltdown, the squad issues, the departures, the Champions League burden, and whether Villa are heading for a very long season.

Newcastle 2–2 Liverpool:A chaotic, scrappy, messy draw at St James’ Park. We look at Liverpool’s midfield gaps, Newcastle’s young engine room, the Isaac boos, the late penalty, and what both sides might look like once they settle.

It’s a sharp, punchy, schadenfreude‑heavy review of GW1 — full of laughs, analysis, rival misery, and Arsenal‑coloured commentary.

🎧 199 | The Champions Are Back: Coventry Review

Épisode 199

samedi 22 août 2026 • Durée 01:28:41

ARSENAL 3 - COVENTRY 0 : CHAMPIONS START LIKE CHAMPIONS

Arsenal’s title defence begins exactly how you’d want it to: a calm, controlled, comfortable 3–0 win under the lights at the Emirates. Tabs and Andy sit down to break down the opening‑night performance, the key talking points, and what this first glimpse of The Champions tells us about the season ahead.

We talk through the feel of the night, the atmosphere, the ease of the performance, and how different it feels to start a Premier League campaign as champions. There’s chat about the pre‑match reveal of Ezri Konsa, what his arrival means for the squad, and whether he should start immediately or ease in behind Mosquera and White.

The pod dives into the Coventry game itself: the starting XI, Bruno’s absence, Rice and Saka returning earlier than expected, and how the team looked with Havertz, Saka and Ødegaard all starting together — something that barely happened last season. We discuss the rhythm of the first half, the control, the patterns, and how Arsenal managed Coventry’s threat while creating chances with ease.

There’s a deeper look at individual performances: Mosquera’s maturity, Ben White’s energy, Calafiori’s influence, and Ødegaard’s return to conductor mode — sharper, freer, more aggressive, and finally smiling again. We talk about how the structure around him has changed, how the combinations help him, and why he already looks closer to his 22/23 peak.

We also touch on the wider squad picture: Bruno’s knock, Rice’s minutes, the midfield depth, and how this early‑season setup might shape the Villa and Chelsea fixtures coming next.

It’s a relaxed, upbeat review of a stress‑free win, a strong start, and a reminder that Arsenal look settled, confident and ready to defend their crown.

🎧 198 | 26/27 Season Predictions & Coventry Preview

Épisode 198

mercredi 19 août 2026 • Durée 01:51:45

CRYSTAL BALLS, RIVALS ASSESSED & COVENTRY TO COME:

The Premier League is back. Arsenal begin their title defence on Friday night under the lights at the Emirates, and Tabs is joined by Andy and Ian (aka @arsecannonpics) to look ahead to the 2026/27 campaign with a full set of predictions, projections and pre‑season crystal‑ball gazing.

We talk through the mood going into the new season, the feeling of returning as champions, and how different it is to start a campaign with the monkey finally off our backs. There’s chat about the Community Shield glow, the excitement around the squad, and how ready Arsenal actually look heading into matchday one.

The pod dives into the the incoming signing of Ezri Konsa. We discuss why the deal makes sense, how he fits the “win‑now” strategy, what he offers immediately with Saliba and Timber out, and how his arrival affects Mosquera, White and the wider defensive structure. There’s also a wider conversation about Arsenal’s transfer approach, the homegrown situation, and the awkward public noise around Nwaneri, Miles Lewis‑Skelly and Martinelli.

Then it’s prediction time. The lads reveal their forecasts for the Premier League table, the title race, surprise packages, golden boot contenders, and how Arsenal’s season might unfold. We also take a look at the so‑called rivals — what they’ve done this summer, who’s strengthened, who’s weakened, and who’s realistically fighting for second place.

Finally, we preview Coventry: what we know, what we don’t, how they’ve recruited, how they’ll approach the game, and what Arsenal need to do on opening night. It’s a relaxed, fun, season‑launching episode full of optimism, analysis and a healthy dose of The Grove‑style irreverence.

🎧 197 | Community Shield Review: Arsenal Sit City Down

Épisode 197

lundi 17 août 2026 • Durée 01:13:02

WE ARE VERY GOOD & WINNING TROPHIES IS FUN

Arsenal kicked off the season exactly how champions should by beating Manchester City 3–0 at Wembley and lifting the Community Shield. Tabs and Kuziva sit down to unpack what the win actually means, how Arsenal looked, how City looked, and what this performance tells us heading into the Premier League opener.

We talk through the feel of the day, the confidence boost, and why this fixture — friendly or not — matters more when you’re the reigning champions. There’s chat about the starting XI, the surprise absences, and how Arteta is juggling fitness, squad limits and early‑season preparation.

We break down the big themes from the match, the sharpness of key players, the standout performances from Ødegaard and Tzolis, and MLS' mentality and what a difference a Raya makes. We also touch on what City looked like under their new manager, and why they never really threatened.

We round things off with a look at the tactical patterns, the right‑side dominance, the pace issue in midfield, and what this game hinted about the opening weeks of the season — especially with Saliba, Timber, Saka and Rice still building fitness.

There’s a final detour into the other part of the Arsenal matchday experience — the ticketing website. Tabs and Kuziva chat about how poor it is for a club like Arsenal to not be able to have a fit for purpose ticketing website and why it's so disrespectful to the fans who spend so much time effort and money trying to support The Arsenal; something needs to be done, it's embarrassing!It’s a relaxed, celebratory review of a comfortable win, a trophy lift, and a reminder that Arsenal are starting the season with momentum, swagger and depth.

🎧 196 | Pre Season Is Done: Are We Ready? Probably Not

Épisode 196

jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 01:43:13

PRE-SEASON IS DONE...NOW WHAT?

Tabs is back from holiday and pre‑season is finally done. The games were flat, the heatwave was ridiculous, and half the squad is still recovering from the longest World Cup ever but now things get serious. Jamie joins to break down what we learned, what we didn’t, and what actually matters heading into the new Premier League season.

Pre‑Season Overview Arsenal beat Girona, lost to Betis and Dortmund, drew with Como, and played a behind‑closed‑doors friendly. With so many players away, pre‑season was more about fitness than form. Hale End kids like MLS, Dowman, Salmon and Nwaneri impressed, while Tzolis looked the most “ready” of the new faces.

Highlights & Lowlights Tzolis’ versatility, two‑footedness and set‑piece quality stood out. Ben White’s return was important given Timber and Saliba’s absences. Meslier looked sharp and has likely overtaken Kepa as No.2. Defensive shakiness vs Betis and Dortmund was noted but contextualised; missing Rice, Saka, Saliba, Timber, Raya, Ødegaard and more.

Transfers & Squad Shape This is where things get interesting. Bruno Guimarães arrives as a major reinforcement, giving Arsenal a midfield of Bruno, Merino, Zubimendi and MLS before Rice even returns. We discuss what Bruno actually offers; progression, aggression, end product, and the ability to play with or instead of Rice.

MLS is now a genuine midfield option, not just a cameo kid. His presence changes rotation, changes depth, but is he surplus to requirements? Do we cash in? Rumours of touting to Chelsea & Man Utd ... there's no smoke without fire. Hale End bond v The Business of Football.

Martinelli’s situation gets a proper look too: why his PL output dipped, why his Champions League numbers were elite, and why the tactical environment last season didn’t suit him. With Bruno, Calafiori, Ødegaard and Havertz all fit, we talk about whether Martinelli could bounce back or do we cash in for a decent fee?

We also cover the right‑hand side of defence: Mosquera + White will be the pairing until Saliba and Timber return. We talk about how that might hold up, and what type of reinforcements may be needed

🎧 195 | Easy Win Kicks Off Arsenal's Pre-Season

Épisode 195

dimanche 2 août 2026 • Durée 51:14

"COSTA BRAVA CHAMPIONS" - YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT!!!

Episode 195 reviews Arsenal’s first proper outing of the summer a comfortable, confident 4–1 win over Girona that officially kicks off pre‑season and the march toward club football world domination. Tabs is joined by Ian (@arsecannonpics) to break down the match, the Hale End takeover, the transfer noise and what’s coming next.

The pair dig into:

Girona Review A strong starting XI mixed non‑World Cup players with early returners, and it was great to see Ben White back after his injury scare. Timber’s continued absence remains a worry, but this game offered important minutes for players who will be covering early‑season gaps.

Highlights & Lowlights Dowman stole the show with an assist and a goal. Tzolis looked lively and confident on the left. Meslier made sharp saves (despite Perry Groves calling him “Kepa” all night). Hale End kids impressed across the board.Lowlights: Nelson and Vieira still floating around the fringes.

Match Breakdown Havertz opened the scoring after a brilliant Dowman turn and pass. Tzolis added a second with a deflected finish. Girona pulled one back from a corner before Dowman made it 3–1 with a composed strike. Jesus capitalised on Ben White’s tackle to make it 4–1. The game fizzled into fitness‑mode once the conveyor belt of subs arrived.

Transfers

Bruno Guimarães — Deal close: £70m + add‑ons. Medical reportedly imminent. He brings passion, energy, leadership, and title hunger. Newcastle look like they’re imploding — manager gone, best players sold, Tindall out. Could be a very funny season up there.

Vinícius Júnior — Madrid’s final offer is on the table. Vini reportedly interested in Arsenal’s proposal. Now it’s down to who blinks first. Dreaming is allowed.

Nørgaard — Off to Everton for £7m. Under‑used but a great character. 101 Premier League minutes → Premier League champion. Wish him well.

🎧 194 | Veni, "Vini", Vici?

Épisode 194

mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:09:53

I CAME, I VINNIED, I CONQUERED

Episode 194 dives straight into the biggest, loudest, most ambitious rumour of Arsenal’s summer: Vinícius Júnior to Arsenal. Tabs is joined by Kusiva to unpack the madness, the hope, the implications, and the tiny sliver of possibility that has sent the fanbase into meltdown.

The pair explore:

is Vinícius actually that good?
why he doesn’t always “pop” on screen compared to Mbappé, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia
his outrageous Real Madrid numbers: goals, assists, Champions League output
the “big‑game player” factor and why Arsenal desperately need one
how he fits Arteta’s structure + the flair Arsenal currently lack
why this is a once‑in‑a‑generation market opportunity
the Real Madrid contract stalemate, Mourinho factor, and the club’s financial squeeze
whether Arsenal are being used… or whether there’s a real opening
what signing Vinícius would say about Arsenal’s ambition, identity, and place in world football
the dynasty conversation: what comes after winning the league
can Arsenal afford to chase a unicorn without missing out elsewhere?
how Berta’s “spinning plates” approach applies to elite targets
the ego dynamics of second‑choice players like Barcola
whether Arsenal must stay in the race until the very last second
the commercial explosion if Vinícius ever walked into the Armoury
why Arsenal — not City, not PSG — are the only realistic destination outside Madrid
Tzolis, Martinelli, squad depth, and the left‑side rebuild
Bruno Guimarães inching close ... or is it?
the wider strategy: ceiling‑raisers vs floor‑raisers
how Arsenal’s status as Premier League champions changes the market
