WOW! What. An. Episode! In Episode 30, we are joined by @Northbanksy, who is synonymous with Arsenal fans all over the world for his amazing art of Arsenal players past and present on the streets surrounding the Emirates stadium. We hear of some awesome stories, and this is not a podcast you want to miss!
In Episode 29, we are joined by a LEGEND of the Arsenal online community, @SheWore. He tells us his story of why Arsenal, about his fabulous online store and we grill him on the current Arsenal squad! COME ON YOU GUNNERS (and Scotland!)
In Episode 28, I thought we were getting Carl Jenkinson's brother on... I mean, close enough, as Ian (aka @arsecannonpics on Twitter) joins us for The Grove's first ever guest podcast! Ian tells us about what it's like being a Gooner from the Republic of Ireland, why Arsenal (and almost Chelsea!), and about his Twitter account that has blown up (no pun intended!). Have a listen, and let us know what you think. As always, be sure to follow us on social media @thegroveafc and we'll...
The season has finished, and that gives a chance to The Grove podcast team to come together and hand out some awards. Who was our player of the season? Who won the biggest twat of the year? What was our favourite moment this year? Find out in episode 27! Be sure to like and subscribe, as we will be bringing you weekly episodes over summer on a variety of topics! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
So here it is, we've got to the final game of the season and we're still in it. That's all we can ask for, right? No. Absolutely not. We can ask for that team across the road to actually be good for once in their lives, and win a bloody trophy. For Arsenal. In Episode 26, we talk about our win against Manchester United, the upcoming match against Everton and Mos has a funny gut feeling that we might just do the unthinkable...
We’ve hit a quarter of a century of podcasts!! Tabs and Jamie have great fun discussing how good this Arsenal team is and how it compares to other top Arsenal teams of the past. Is Arteta more Graham than Wenger? We go through a dominant and deserved win v Bournemouth, aided by a touch of VAR assistance. How big are Rice’s lungs? A soft penalty is still a penalty, right? We then laugh at Manchester Utd, and then laugh a bit more, whilst still fretting about the game. #TenHagIN...
NORTH LONDON IS RED. That is it. That's the message. Episode 24 details the win over Spu*s, and how it sets Arsenal up for the remaining 3 games. We discuss the 3 goals in the first half, Raya's mistake and Rice giving away a penalty (we hope Ben Davies' balls are ok...) and much more! 3 to go... COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
Episode 23 is hands down my FAVOURITE yet… not only because we BATTERED Chelsea, not because Liverpool concede during it, and not because Babak602 chickened out of my challenge! It’s my favourite because we’re in such good spirits, and what a season it has been! 🥳 You CANNOT miss this, listen now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts!
In Episode 22, The Grove find themselves with an injured Mos who broke his fibula joined by Tabs and Whale - the gruesome twosome - to discuss our boring(?), but professional victory over Wolves. What does the result mean for us? Simply put, we have to win the rest of our games in any way necessary to have a chance if Man City slip up. Oh, and Pool too, right?! We'll be back on Thursday for the Chelsea review and a look ahead to the North London Derby, but until then stay safe and remember.....
In Episode 21, Mos, Tabs and Jamie discuss Arsenal being knocked out of the UCL by Bayern Munich. Have Arsenal run out of steam and where do we go from here? Recruitment in summer is vital, but we need to finish the season off strongly first! Don’t forget to like, share and comment and pass this podcast to all fellow Gooners, and we’ll see you after Wolves for the review of a game that could take us back top of the league!
Have a listen to episode 20, where Mos is joined by Tabs and Senzi to dissect and discuss the match against Aston Villa. There's really not much to say, except we are all in agreement that the first half missed chances cost us, and the substitutes didn't work in our favour for once. One thing is for sure though, as Mos says, it's about the destination and not the journey, and boy what a journey it has been! Focus shifts on to Bayern on Wednesday, and let's get behind the team to ...
Episode 19 is here, with Mos and Tabs discussing the game against Bayern Munich in the 1st leg of the Champions League Quarter Final. Should Arsenal have had a penalty for the 'foul' on Saka, or should he have taken a shot straight away? 🤔 What does the result mean for us going in to the second leg? 🔜 Was Harry Kane lucky to be on the pitch after his elbow on Gabriel? 🔴 We discuss all this, and much more, including a look ahead to Aston Villa this weekend! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!...
In Episode 18, Mos is joined by Tabs and Kuziva to talk about our 3-0 win over Brighton, as well as look ahead to our UCL Quarter Final against a Bayern Munich side with Harry Kane in it. We also discussed Zinchenko and if his attacking play is more positive and beneficial than his defence, we watched United draw with Liverpool LIVE as well as almost figuring out who Babak602 is! WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
I had a lot of fun recording with Tabs and Søren today, great pod with a really good question at the end.. what does success look like for Arsenal this season?! Would you take no trophies but a CL semi final? Or do we have to win trophies? Get involved with your own answer - send it to me personally or answer on Spotify under the episode 17 description. We also discussed the mysterious case of who Babak602 is… can you reveal yourself?! As well as the game against Luton and looked ahead to Bright...
It's a sombre mood on one side of The Grove the morning after the night before Arsenal drew 0-0 with Man City. Mos is back, and joined by Tabs and Whale who each have their own opinions on taking a point at the Etihad. Did we miss a chance to go top? Or was a point well deserved? Should Gabriel Jesus change his name by deed poll to include 'BCM' in the middle? The boys hash it out, and remember, at the end of the day it's not about the destination but the journey instead! COME ON...
No Mos, No Problem! Tabs takes the lead in Episode 15 alongside a much more streamlined Whale who discuss how Arsenal WILL beat City, whilst Tom needs to find some tweezers from sitting on the fence over his prediction! Will Saka recover from his SERIOUS injury? Is Foden really any good? How will Havertz Sheikh City down at the Etihad? Listen for all that, and much more! Oh, and don't worry, Mos will be back for Episode 16 when we're STILL top of the league! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!...
In Episode 14, we - simply put - are bored! International breaks are never fun (unless you like watching Harry Maguire, or Scotland losing 4-0 to Holland) so we decided to answer some silly and some serious questions from football fans across the country! See you back here midweek for the Man City preview. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
International breaks are NEVER fun, so Mos and Tabs decided to try and predict where Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City finished up in the league (and just wait for the last game… oops!)! The boys also discussed the Champions League draw, what it means to play Bayern Munich and how we fared last time out against Porto. Send in your voice notes to Mos via WhatsApp or Spotify, and be sure to tell us what you want to hear in the next episode which will be out on the weekend! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!...
Still on a high from the previous night, Mos is joined by Tabs and Søren to discuss the game against Brentford over a coffee. The boys had much to talk about, no less than the super goal by Kai Havertz to take us top (for now) of the premier league! We also discussed if Kai dived, and Mos TRIED to defend him(!), the Trossard penalty shout, as well as Aaron Ramsdale and how the majority are now in agreement David Raya is a significant upgrade plus a look ahead to Porto on Tuesday. Be sure to like...
In Episode 11, we talk about how accurate Mos was for his prediction of 6-0 against Sheffield United, and how one fan bet £100 on a scoreline of 15… yes… FIFTEEN nil. We also discussed Ramsdale vs Raya and Whale got heated when Mos mentioned how impressed he was of Kai Havertz! All in all, what a time it is to be a Gunner! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
EPISODE 10 IS OUT NOW featuring some clips from our listeners all over the world! In this episode, we discussed: • The Smith-Rowe saga - should he STAY or GO? • Sheffield Utd preview - not much to say except we’ll win, right?! • Chelsea fixture postponed - what does it mean for our run in? • The beers at the Emirates are SHOCKING! We need change!!! The boys also discussed a curious knock at Tabs’ door, and why we started supporting Arsenal! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!...
WOW! What a reaction to losing to a last minute Porto goal with a resounding 4-1 victory over Newcastle! Our PL form is INSANE at the moment!!!! In Episode 9, we were joined by Tabs, Jamie and Paul who talked to me about that win as well as: Our performance and what it means going forward ✅ Who would win out of the strongest Arsenal team from this and last season 🤔 Do we prefer to be chased, or be the chaser? 🤷♂️ And as usual, much more! See you back here on Friday for the Sheffield United pr...
In Episode 8, we hear from a very passionate (and somber!) Whale about how he believes Arteta may not be the right man for the job to progress us in Europe… IF we get knocked out by Porto! We also discuss: Porto’s goal and who was at fault for it ⚽️ Our overall performance, and what it means for the reverse fixture 📅 Newcastle this weekend, and Howe the team are clicking 🐁 And much more as usual! Be sure to listen to The Grove podcast, because we appreciate it more than you realise! COME ON YO...
Episode 7 is here - and you need to listen right to the end to hear our debate on if we'd swap Bukayo Saka with Kylian Mbappe! 🤔 Amongst this, the boys also spoke about: Our great victory against Burnley on Saturday ⚽️ The upcoming UCL tie vs Porto! ✈️ Why Phil Foden needs to stay in his lane! 🚗 Gabriel Jesus - will he start against Porto?! 🤕 and much more! As always, thank you so much for your support and we'll see you back here next week for the post Porto pod, as well as looking ah...
In this episode, we are on a high after beating West Ham United in an emphatic 6-0 victory!

Episode 5 is here! Sound issues FIXED and boy this is a cracker! We discuss more from our awesome victory over Liverpool and look ahead to West Ham, and the boys chat about: Raya over Ramsdale?

We discussed: The incredible atmosphere at the Emirates 💥 Jamie Carragher, the salty spitter 💦 How we coped without Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey 🤒 and much more! Thank you as ever for listening, we ...
First off, we want to say a major THANK YOU 🙏 to all of our new and existing listeners. We're getting so much positive feedback, and your suggestions are helping shape future episodes.

We also discuss the ongoing beef between Whale and Andrea (and YOU can vote below in the poll to have your say with who you agree with!) as well as the transf...
You do NOT want to miss out on this episode, not least to hear the very heated debate about the Carabao Cup - should we have taken it more seriously?
