The Grove - An Arsenal Podcast

It's a fond farewell to fans' favourite Kieran Tierney, who signs of his Arsenal career with a fine goal to help Arsenal secure a record winning final game of the season win against Southampton. Tabs and Jamie are on hand to discuss the various talking points from the game, including KT's record at the Club, Calafiori's injury and a round of guess who is playing in what position? W...

Tabs is joined by Jamie on this special episode to talk through a game which was unnecessarily important and where all that mattered was the result.

(Due to technical issues this episode has been reuploaded) In this special episode we talk to Senzi, from The Grove, about her experience at Arsenal's recent open training session at the Emirates, and what an experience is was.

It's a sad day for Gooners around the world as Arsenal's Champions League dream was ended by PSG. It was a tie of fine margins, missed chances and outstanding goalkeeping, where Arsenal's current limitations were exposed and things that just didn't go our way,. With our cups half full Tabs is joined by Ian (aka @ArseCannonPics) to pick through the game and reflect on the Champions...

The Bournemouth game was a perfect encapsulation of our season. A depleted squad, not scoring enough, playing on the margins, some good football and some awful football, dropping points from winning position, conceding from set pieces and VAR incompetence, and in general making life difficult for ourselves when we have the chance to do the opposite. But we're just going to have to put the Bour...

It's advantage PSG in the UCL Champions League Semi-Final, but it's still only half time and we are very much still in it.

Arsenal got what they deserved from a lacklustre and sloppy 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, our 13th of the season, and it's more points are dropped from a winning position. Tabs is a little irritated and Jamie is more sanguine, as we discuss how doing the bare minimum was not enough to beat a spirited and decent Crystal Palace side and how it doesn't really matter as we have much bigger things on o...

It was a good and easy win for The Arsenal over Ipswich (I suspect we’ve had harder training sessions) as they keep things ticking over for 2nd place and was pretty much exactly what we needed following the adrenaline rush of The Bernabéu and an eye on PSG; with the only issue being the agricultural tackling by some of The Tractor boys and their idiotic fans booing Saka for being kicked! Fortunate...

We believe Arsenal played a match v Brentford on Saturday but it seems people have already forgotten about it and can only think about Real Madrid on Wednesday.

We discuss some of the big moments in the game, the Team selection chal...

Just wow, wow, wow! This is not a game that requires too much analysis. Amazing atmosphere, amazing performance, amazing goals, Arsenal dominated the best team in UCL history and totally deserved their 3-0 victory in the UCL Quarter Final 1st Leg at the Emirates. Tabs and Ian (aka @ArseCannonPics) are on hand to extract maximum joy from that performance, looking back at the glorious goals and top...

A frustrating but predictable draw for Arsenal who were very much playing with Madrid on their minds, where 1-0 should have been enough to win this game until Darren England made sure that wasn't the case .
