The Grove Podcast is celebrating both it's 100th episode and beating Newcastle to qualify for the Champions League next season and pretty much sure up 2nd spot. 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. All in all quite a tense game, low in quality, but with moments from Raya and Rice that made the difference and edged it for Arsenal. We also have fun chatting about Calafiori, twatting the ball from long distance, Arteta's post math speech and hope for the future. We finish the pod laughing at Tottenham again and previewing a match that really and properly does not matter (barring some unprecedented Premier League GD turnaround), when we take on Southampton on the final day of the season.We would like to say thanks to all of you that have listened over the last year and half since we started with our first pod being the 5-0 win against Crystal Palace, post Dubai.

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 League campaign as a whole before turning half an eye onto the weekend with a preview of Liverpool away; a game that we need to face with pride and is going to be a challenge for players and fans alike.COME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafc@arsecannonpicsFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

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 Bournemouth game to one side for now as it really is all about PSG and getting to Munich. The OGs are back together as Tabs is joined, after a very long hiatus, by Mos to discuss the highs and lows from the Bournemouth game, Odegaard's form and, Rice's importance to the Team, our inability to score, and what happens when players minds are elsewhere and what it means for a Tope 5 finish. We then look ahead to the 2nd leg v PSG with hope and expectation that we can do the job and reach the Champions League Final. Tabs will be there … can Mos get a ticket?COME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafcFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

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. Jamie and Tabs are on hand to talk through what started out as a party at the Emirates which then very quickly had all the balloons popped. We discuss the atmosphere, the quality of PSG, the impact of Partey missing, where we went wrong, what might have been, how good MLS is and the reaction to the performance and result. We also try to understand what is going wrong with Odegaard and what we can be done about it, before looking ahead to the game nobody has any appetite for, Bournemouth on Saturday early evening.COME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafcFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

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 our minds.We then look ahead to what is an enticing match up against PSG in the Champions League Semi Final. This match up worries Tabs but Jamie is more confident as PSG's strengths could also be their weakness; it's a hard one to call and all results and scorelines are possible, including a 4-3 ding-dong goal fest. It's going to be an exciting few days in the build up and fingers crossed it's not all spent on the TX!COME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafcFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

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! Fortunately for us (and the FPL gurus) Saka seems to be fine.Tabs is joined by Kuziva to go over the key moments and key performances from the likes of Leo, Merino, Odegaard and Saka from the game and to debate what a "nutmeg" is. We also find time to laugh at Manchester United and Tottenham, before looking ahead to PSG and what is likely to be the most non intense, non-contact football game ever when Arsenal take on Crystal Palace midweek with both team having an eye on forthcoming priority Cup games.COME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafcFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Tabs and Ian (aka @ArseCannonPics) are here to discuss and enjoy every last moment of an almost perfect European away performance and the incredible job Arteta is doing with this squad. We then look forward to the semi-final v PSG and beyond, before crashing back to Premier League earth with a bump as we take on Ipswich on Sunday as we look to maintain 2nd spot with as little fuss as possible.With special guest Larry David and Paul McCartneyCOME ON YOU GUNNERS!@ The Grove Everyone is Welcome!@thegroveafc@arsecannonpicsFind us on Bluesky, Threads and YouTube, and email us here: thegrovepodcast@outlook.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to us and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

We discuss some of the big moments in the game, the Team selection challenges, and what it means for our Top 5 finish.

In this episode Tabs and Ian discuss our dominance, the goals, and rate the players, whilst questioning what on earth Lopetegui has been smoking?! We then finish with a preview of the big midweek game against Manchester Utd. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

It's The Grove / Dads Our Job (Adam & Rob) mash-up where we are infiltrated by West Ham fan (Adam) to get a Hammer's perspective on the game at The London Stadium. We discuss our shared love for Declan Rice, is it better to be a trophy winning West Ham fan or a trophy-less Arsenal fan and it's anyone's guess what the starting line-ups will be come Saturday evening. Have a listen. Enjoy! COME ON YOU GUNNERS! @dadsourjob.bsky.social @Dadsourjobpod Adam : @A_A_L_1986 / @adamc1r Rob: @robhorton86

In Ep 56 Ian (@arsecannonpics) and Tabs bathe in the glory of Arsenal finally scoring and winning away in the Champions League. We discuss how good we were, and continue to ponder upon how good Gyokeres actually is. We also introduce our new Player Ratings section of the pod. Let us know what you think. There's also a musical treat for you at the end of the pod, if you care to make it that far. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

Arsenal are back and this is more like the team we know and love. In this episode Tabs is joined by Ian Jenkinson aka @ArseCannonPics to discuss the excellent win against Nottingham Forest. There's big love for soft shoe Martin Ødegaard, powerful Bukayo Saka and our very own Ethan Nwaneri, whilst we also take a look at how the fullbacks are so central to how we play. We finish off with a preview of the UCL Match Day 5 Sporting Lisbon away day, both looking forward to and dreading the site of Viktor Gyökeres; is he any good? We'll find out soon enough. COME ON YOU GUNNERS! @thegroveafc

The international break is over, the fans are ready, the players are ready, the manager is ready...let's fogging go! The Grove's very own American, Whale, joins Tabs to give a different perspective of the season so far and what's to come, we answer some of the big questions of the day as posed by our listeners, then we end with a quick look at the must win fixture against a difficult Forest side. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
