| 🎧 201 | Villa Review & Transfer Deadline Day Fallout | 01 sept. 2026 | 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:
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 | 30 août 2026 | 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 | 27 août 2026 | 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 | 24 août 2026 | 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 | 22 août 2026 | 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 | 19 août 2026 | 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 | 17 août 2026 | 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 | 13 août 2026 | 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 Are Arsenal Ready? Probably not fully; but neither is anyone else. The World Cup has left the entire league undercooked. Arsenal’s opening fixtures (Coventry, Villa, Chelsea, Brighton, Sunderland) will require patience and smart rotation. The key is not giving rivals a leg‑up and managing fitness carefully. Nine or ten points from the first five games, plus beating Chelsea, would be a strong start. Community Shield Preview Still technically pre‑season, but a useful test. Arsenal will be leggy, City will be leggy, and the result won’t define anything but it will be fun to win and will give clues about early‑season combinations. Closing Pre‑season is done. The real stuff starts now. Arsenal look settled, experienced, and ready to grind through the early fixtures before hitting stride. As always: like, subscribe, follow @thegroveafc, and enjoy the ride.

| 🎧 195 | Easy Win Kicks Off Arsenal's Pre-Season | 02 août 2026 | 00:51:14 | |
"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. MLS Rumours — Manchester United “enquired”. Arsenal politely told them to absolutely do one. Costa Brava Cup: one trophy down, five to go. More pre‑season action coming after the Como match. Like, subscribe, follow @thegroveafc, and keep spreading the word; listener numbers are growing fast.

Arsenal v Burnley Preview : Take nothing for granted. Get the job done . Just win (and score a few please!) Episode 182 begins with Tabs and Ian (aka @arsecannonpics) still recovering from the undercover chaos at the London Stadium, the stress, the silence, the pretending, the VAR heart attack, and the surreal moment they finally celebrated Arsenal’s winner 20 minutes away from the ground. With that madness behind them, attention turns to the final home game of the season: Burnley at the Emirates. Tabs and Ian break down the state of the squad after West Ham, including the worrying Ben White injury, Mosquera's likely involvement, and whether this is the moment for Odegaard to return to the XI to build rhythm ahead of PSG. They also look at Arsenal’s recent run — five wins, one goal conceded since the defeat to City — and how the team have committed to grinding out whatever scoreline gets them over the line. There’s also the small matter of Manchester City beating Crystal Palace, keeping the pressure sky‑high and ensuring Arsenal must be perfect from here. And then there’s the other mission:the failed reconnaissance trip to Selhurst Park — “Project Trophy Lift at the Palace” — where Tabs and Ian scouted the ground, the routes, the vibes… only for Palace to ruin the plan by not doing their part. The hope now is that the team succeed where the scouting party didn’t. The episode covers:,

If you’re listening to this, you’re probably still somewhere between shaking, laughing, and lying on the floor. Tabs is joined by Kuziva to relive the full emotional rollercoaster — including the surreal experience of watching the match undercover in the West Ham end, unable to celebrate, unable to react, and trying not to get thrown out while Arsenal fans around the stadium were losing their minds.

But with three Premier League games left and the title now officially in Arsenal’s hands, the focus has to snap back to West Ham away.

They discuss West Ham’s deceptive form, the “three games, three wins, champions” equation, and the tactical questions facing Arteta ahead of Sunday.

Five games. One shootout. One title race that refuses to die. Belief restored, pressure rising, and a huge chance to go top again : Episode 175 arrives with Arsenal staring down the final stretch: five games to decide the Premier League title. After a bruising few weeks and the gut‑punch at the Etihad, Tabs is back in full belief mode and this episode sets the tone for the run‑in. With City edging ahead on goals scored after beating Burnley, Arsenal now have a massive opportunity: two home games before City next play in the league, meaning the Gunners could be six points clear by the time Guardiola’s side return to action. The title race is tight, tense, and absolutely on. Tabs breaks down the state of play, the psychological reset, and why Arsenal must forget the past and attack the final five games with total clarity. There’s also a fascinating stat from Cartoon Steve Bould comparing the remaining opponents’ goal differences and why Arsenal may have the better chance to rack up goals when it matters most. Then it’s over to Tabs and Andy for a full Arsenal v Newcastle preview:

| 🎧 174 | Fine Margins Decide Titles : Arsenal Are Down, But Not Out | 20 avr. 2026 | 01:11:03 | |
Processing the Etihad defeat, the title‑race fallout, and what Arsenal must do next : Episode 174 picks up 24hrs after Arsenal’s gut‑punch 2–1 defeat at Manchester City, a result that shifts the title race and leaves the fanbase wrestling with pride in the performance but frustration and the sense of a huge opportunity slipping away. Tabs and Andy dive into the emotional and tactical fallout, the Havertz misses, and the bigger question: how did Arsenal let the season reach this point? The pod explores the performance itself , far better than Bournemouth, Southampton or the Carabao Cup final, but ultimately decided by fine margins. Arsenal pressed bravely, created big moments, and limited City to very little in open play, yet failed to take their chances while Haaland took his. Tabs and Andy break down the midfield battle, the tactical bravery, the counter‑attack moments, and the defensive details that shaped the game. But the conversation quickly widens into the deeper issues:
With Newcastle at home up next, the episode looks ahead to what Arsenal must change, who needs to step up, and why the season is not over — even if City now have the advantage. A raw, honest, cathartic episode about pain, perspective, hope and the fight that remains. Key Talking Points

HOT OFF THE PITCH — Man City 2–1 Arsenal: Fine Margins, Missed Moments & Title Race Reality Check Instant Reaction to Arsenal’s Defeat at the Etihad Arsenal fall 2–1 at the Etihad in a brutal, fine‑margins defeat that shifts the Premier League title race back towards Manchester City. Tabs and Gianluca (The Boy) give their raw, immediate reaction just minutes after full‑time — frustration, emptiness, and the sense of a huge opportunity slipping away. Despite low expectations going in, Arsenal actually showed up: brave pressing, a strong first half, big transitional moments, and a performance far better than Bournemouth, Southampton or the Carabao Cup final. But City took their one big second‑half chance, while Arsenal missed theirs — Havertz’s shot, Martinelli’s rebound, Eze off the post and THAT late 94th‑minute opportunity that could have changed everything.

Arsenal Reach the Champions League Semi‑Finals: Underwhelming Joy and Angst With The City Showdown Ahead Post‑Sporting reaction, fan toxicity, Arteta’s message, and the biggest league game in 20 years Arsenal are into the Champions League semi finals back‑to‑back for the first time in the Club’s history yet parts of the fanbase are acting like we’ve been relegated. In Episode 173, Tabs opens with a passionate, much‑needed reality check about the negativity surrounding the team, before diving into the 0–0 draw with Sporting CP that sealed Arsenal’s place in the final four. Joined by Andy, the pod tackles the strange mood around the club: the anxiety, the frustration, the lack of attacking fluency… and the complete inability of some fans to enjoy a massive achievement. Tabs and Andy discuss why the performance wasn’t perfect, why the context matters, and why dismissing a Champions League semi‑final is madness. They also break down the Sporting second leg:
And then… the big one. The episode shifts to Manchester City away, arguably Arsenal’s biggest league game in two decades. Tabs and Andy discuss the psychological stakes, the tactical dilemmas, the fitness questions, and how Sunday could reshape the Premier League title race. This is Arsenal at the sharp end of the season: tense, imperfect, battered, resilient and still fighting on two fronts. Key Talking Points

Post-Bournemouth, Pre-Sporting CP Quarter-Final Second Leg Arsenal's title hopes took another painful hit as Tabs, Andy, and Kuziva record a raw, honest reaction to the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth — and look ahead to the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting CP with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg. With Man City winning 3-0 against Chelsea the same day, the gap is back under threat, and the trio hold nothing back: Are Arsenal finally proving the haters right? Is this bottling it, or something more complex — a rigid system, player fatigue, and a mental block around big moments? The debate cuts deep, covering Arteta's tactical inflexibility, why Bournemouth's mid-block exposed the same vulnerabilities as City's, the devastating impact of injuries to Saka, Ødegaard, and Timber, and whether Arsenal have simply been too good across all four competitions for their squad depth to sustain it.

After back‑to‑back cup defeats and a wave of anxiety across the fanbase, Arsenal finally delivered a much‑needed European victory.

The episode also explores the wider narrative around Arsenal’s identity:
And with news breaking about a potential Mikel Arteta contract extension, Tabs and Mitch discuss the manager’s future, the culture he’s built, why he divides opinion outside Arsenal, and why the club should move quickly to secure him long‑term.

After 16 long days and back‑to‑back defeats, the Gunners delivered a gritty, disciplined, old‑school 1‑0 to the Arsenal away at Sporting CP.

Post‑Southampton FA Cup Exit & Pre‑Sporting CP UCL Quarter‑Final: Are the Wheels Coming Off? Superstitions, squad depth, defensive wobble, and another massive week for Arsenal’s season Arsenal are out of the FA Cup after a frustrating 2–1 defeat to Southampton, and Episode 169 dives straight into the anxiety, the overthinking, and the existential dread that only this club can produce. Tabs is joined by Andy to unpack the performance, the rotation, the bigger‑picture implications, and whether this is a wobble… or something more serious. From superstition chat (including the cursed “years ending in six” stat) to the emotional fallout of back‑to‑back cup exits, the lads explore whether Arsenal’s recent form is a blip, a warning sign, or simply the natural consequence of relying on a heavily rotated XI. They compare the Southampton loss to the Mansfield performance, discuss the impact of missing key structural players, and look at why the defensive solidity of early‑season Arsenal has faded in 2026. There’s also a deep dive into squad depth, the myth of the “best squad in the league,” and how rotation exposes weaknesses that don’t exist when the core XI is intact. Tabs and Andy debate whether going out of the FA Cup might actually help Arsenal in the long run — reducing fixture congestion, avoiding a potential semi‑final vs City, and allowing Arteta to focus entirely on the Premier League and Champions League. And with Sporting CP away in the Champions League Quarter‑Final just days away, the episode looks ahead to Tuesday night: the nerves, the stakes, and the need for a performance that resets the mood before Bournemouth at the weekend. Expect therapy, tactical analysis, superstition, fear, hope, and the usual blend of Arsenal‑flavoured chaos. Key Talking Points

There’s also a detailed look at Southampton: their form, their threats, and how Arsenal should approach a tie that could become a crucial momentum‑builder heading into Europe and the Premier League run‑in. With the title race tightening and the margins razor‑thin, this week could shape everything.

With Arsenal fans finally getting a breather during the last international break of the season, Tabs is joined by Andy to take stock of where things actually stand, mentally, physically, and tactically, before the final two months that will define everything. They dive into the emotional hangover from the Carabao Cup Final, the mixed blessing of a two‑week pause, and why this break might be arriving at exactly the right time for a squad carrying fatigue, knocks, and a mountain of minutes. From Madueke's worrying knee brace to Saka and Rice withdrawing from England duty, they unpack what’s precaution, what’s serious, and what it means for Arsenal’s options heading into Southampton and Lisbon. There’s also a look at the ripple effects of injuries on roles and rotations; Saka’s workload, Havertz at CAM the reliance on Odegaard, and whether young Dowman might be forced into more minutes than ideal. Tabs and Andy also discuss the BBC’s new data on player injuries, and how remarkable Arsenal’s season has been despite the physical toll. And of course, the episode touches on the Ben White situation: his return to the England squad, the bizarre boos, the long‑running mystery around his World Cup exit, and the wider conversation about player wellbeing and expectations. All that, plus a bit of international‑break therapy, a detour into Scotland vs Japan, and a palate‑cleanser courtesy of Arsenal Women battering Spurs 5–2. Key Talking Points

From the shock of Eze’s late withdrawal to the Kepa vs Raya debate, breaking down what went wrong, why Arsenal never got going, and how City exploited every weakness. Mitch shares his surreal experience watching the final from the City end, complete with undercover cheering, security ejecting Arsenal fans, and the emotional gymnastics of staying silent when your team concedes. Tabs reflects on the journey home surrounded by jubilant City supporters, and the strange feeling of a defeat that felt inevitable long before full time. The episode dives into the tactical decisions, the impact of missing Odegaard and Eze, the midfield imbalance, and why Calafiori’s absence from the starting XI proved costly. There’s a deep look at Arteta’s choice to stick with Kepa, what it means for squad culture, and whether sentiment has a place in a cup final.

Leverkusen (H) UCL R16 L2 Review / Carabao Cup Final v Man City Preview Thunderbastards, Narratives & a Trophy Beckons Arsenal are into the Champions League quarter‑finals after a composed, confident 2–0 win over Bayer Leverkusen and Tabs and Jamie are here to relive the moment Eberechi Eze detonated a Champions League thunderbastard that wowed the Emirates. Just days after Max Dowman's viral solo winner, Eze decided to produce a goal of the season contender of his own, flicking the ball up and unleashing a strike the keeper didn’t even see. The lads break down the performance: White’s return, Hincapié’s intensity against his former club, Gyökeres’ suitability for this type of European tie, and the technical trio of Saka–Trossard–Eze working beautifully in tight spaces. They discuss how Arsenal managed Leverkusen’s elite press, controlled the tempo, and killed the game with wonder goals and game management. There’s also praise for Eze’s evolution not just the goals, but the pressing, the off‑ball work, the Arteta “non‑negotiables” he’s now delivering every match. His first Champions League goal couldn’t have been more emphatic. And then attention turns to Wembley. With Everton and Leverkusen handled, Arsenal now enter the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City the third match in a crucial three‑game stretch. Tabs and Jamie look at team selection dilemmas, the likely XI, the subs, and how Arteta might approach a City side that will test every part of Arsenal’s physical and mental capacity All that, plus Tabs’ extremely on‑brand lowlight: arriving late and discovering the Emirates had run out of pizza. The lads dive into the wider discourse too of the bizarre media narratives, the “Arsenal are ruining football” takes, the ex‑pro rage‑bait, and the hypocrisy of ignoring Chelsea and City brown‑envelope scandals, and why the Chelsea punishment is nothing like City’s situation, and why the Abramovich era fundamentally warped English football.

Everton (H) EPL R30 Review / Leverkusen (H) UCL R16 L2 Preview A 16‑Year‑Old Changes Everything - Emirates Euphoria v Everton Arsenal leave it late — gloriously, deliriously late — as 16‑year‑old Max Dowman announces himself to the world with one of the moments of the season: a 97th‑minute, half‑length‑of‑the‑pitch solo winner that sends the Emirates into absolute meltdown. Tabs and Jamie relive every second of the glorious goal, from the corner clearance to the three‑stage crescendo of disbelief, to the entire bench emptying in celebration. Recorded the morning after the madness, this episode dives deep into Dowman's emergence, his fearlessness, his composure, and the surreal reality that Arsenal’s youngest ever Premier League goalscorer might genuinely shape the title race. They break down why Arteta trusted him over Jesus, how he’s already influencing matches, and why his innocence, joy, and unpredictability are exactly what this team needed. Tabs also issues a heartfelt apology to the Grove WhatsApp group — and the poor souls around him in the stadium — after accidentally triggering mass panic by shouting “handball?!” during the celebrations. VAR has broken us all. On the tactical side, the lads analyse a tough, physical Everton side, the importance of Calafiori’s return, Madueke’s bright performance, the midfield balance, and the defensive wobbles that nearly cost Arsenal. They also discuss Timber’s injury, the bench composition, and the growing question of who drops out when Trossard returns. The episode wraps with a look ahead to the second leg against Bayer Leverkusen — the lineup decisions, the fitness concerns, and the psychological lift of City dropping points thanks to Arsenal's Mavropanos. Key Talking Points • Max Dowman iconic 97th‑minute winner and the eruption that followed • The innocence, joy, and fearlessness of a 16‑year‑old changing a Premier League match • Why Arteta trusted Dowman over Jesus • The bench emptying, the crowd losing its mind, and the three‑stage crescendo • Tabs’ accidental VAR‑induced panic in the stadium • Everton’s physicality, organisation, and surprisingly positive approach • Calafiori’s creativity, Madueke’s dribbling, and Havertz’s role • Defensive scares, Zubimendi’s risky moments, and the clean sheet paradox • Title‑race implications after City drop points • Leverkusen second‑leg preview: selection dilemmas and tactical tweaks Follow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app. Find us on socials: @thegroveafc This is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

We relive the entire away‑day experience: travel disasters, train strikes, last‑minute flights, Red Bull‑fuelled insomnia, and the surreal vibe of watching Arsenal in Germany for the first time. On the pitch, they break down a performance that felt flat, disjointed, and strangely passive. Saka struggled, Eze drifted, Martinelli couldn’t get going, and even Saliba and Gabriel looked shaky. Tabs and Mos dig into why Arsenal never found rhythm, how Leverkusen controlled phases without creating much, and why Odegaard’s absence left a glaring “O‑zone” hole in midfield. There were positives: Noni Madueke’s impact off the bench, Havertz’s ice‑cold penalty, and the fact that Arsenal leave Germany level — a result that looks a lot better when compared to the other English clubs’ first‑leg disasters. The episode wraps with a look ahead to Everton at home: the lineup questions, the fitness concerns, and why Arsenal need to snap back into gear quickly with the season entering its decisive stretch.

Post‑Mansfield (A) FA Cup 5th Round / Pre‑Leverkusen (A) UCL R16 1st Leg Arsenal are into the FA Cup quarterfinals after a gritty, muddy, tough 2–1 win away at Mansfield. In this episode, Tabs and Andy break down a classic lower‑league cup tie full of cliches, heavy tackles, bobbling passes, and two absolute thunder‑bastards from Madueke and Eze that ultimately dragged Arsenal through. The lads dive into the heavily rotated XI — including the historic double‑start for 16‑year‑olds Max Dowman and Marli Salmon, the first time a Premier League club has ever started two 16‑year‑olds in a competitive match . They unpack the confusing, shape‑shifting formation, the early Mansfield pressure, and why the pitch turned the match into a tactical fever dream. There’s huge praise for Dowman’s outrageous composure and spatial awareness (“the word that comes to mind is inevitable” ), and equal love for Salmon’s fearless performance at centre‑back. They also discuss Mosquera’s hesitation for the Mansfield goal, Martinelli’s frustrating afternoon, Jesus’ anonymity, and the growing concern around Calafiori’s recurring niggles. Tabs and Andy also look ahead to the Champions League Round of 16 first leg away at Bayer Leverkusen — the atmosphere, the tactical matchup, the likely XI, and why getting the job done early could save Arsenal from a stressful second leg. Tabs even previews his away‑day trip to Germany, complete with Frankfurt and Cologne detour. As always, the episode wraps with your Three‑Word Reviews, FA Cup draw chat, and a look at the wider European fixtures that could shape Arsenal’s season. Key Talking Points:

| 🎧 TGP | Hot Off The Pitch : Brighton 0 - Arsenal 1 | 05 mars 2026 | 01:04:45 | |
Brighton 0 - Arsenal 1 | Victory Through Agony | Instant Reaction : Arsenal leave the Amex with a massive, hard‑earned 1–0 win, seven points clear at the top (with City’s game in hand lurking), and Tabs and Jamie are absolutely buzzing — delirious, incoherent, and riding the high of a night where everything somehow fell our way. From Saka’s deflected strike to Forest’s late equaliser against City, this is an episode soaked in adrenaline, nerves, and pure Premier League chaos. The lads break down a match that was tense, scrappy, and frankly horrible in the first half, with Brighton pressing the life out of us and Arsenal struggling to string passes together. But the second half? A masterclass in professionalism. Gabriel puts in a Gandalf‑level performance (“thou shall not pass”), Raya redeems himself after an early wobble, and Havertz brings calm and control off the bench. There’s plenty of catharsis too — from the away end turning the Amex into a rave after Forest made it 2–2, to the collective hatred of Fabian Hürzeler’s touchline antics, to the relief of seeing Arsenal manage a game like a title‑winning side. Tabs and Jamie dive into he momentum swings, the substitutions, and why this kind of ugly win matters in a title race. They also look ahead to the FA Cup trip to Mansfield, talk rotation, academy minutes, MLS time, and why Nigel Clough’s pre‑match comments were unintentionally hilarious. Plus: Relegation Watch TM, Spurs misery, West Ham chaos, Villa wobbling, and the wider title‑race psychology as Arsenal and City keep matching each other stride for stride. This episode is everything HOTP is meant to be: raw, emotional, sweary, and full of that “victory through agony” feeling that defines this season.
