    Arsenal v PSG — Champions League Final Preview from Budapest : Episode 185 is a special one — Tabs and Ian are together in person in Budapest, recording from their apartment on the eve of the biggest club game in Arsenal’s history. After a week of Premier League title celebrations, trophy lifts, content overload and emotional burnout, attention finally turns to Saturday’s Champions League final against Paris Saint‑Germain. The pair talk through: the surreal travel routes that somehow led them to arrive at the exact same time the privilege of being among the lucky few with tickets memories of the 2006 final and how painful it still is last year’s PSG semi‑final and why the tie was closer than people remember how different Arsenal are now compared to that injury‑ravaged squad the matchup: best attack in Europe vs best defence in Europe how Arsenal might approach the game — Premier League Arsenal or Champions League Arsenal the lineup debate: Timber or Mosquera? Zubimendi or MLS? Odegaard guaranteed? the nerves, the excitement, the disbelief the simple joy of just being there for a moment like this This is a warm, funny, slightly chaotic, deeply emotional episode — two Arsenal fans in Budapest, soaking in the moment, trying to process the scale of what’s about to happen.

    🎧 184 | Arsenal Crowned Champions At The Palace

    CHAMPIONS: Trophy Lift, Palace Away, The Joy Overload & The Mind Turns to the Champions League Final Episode 184 is the first post‑trophy‑lift pod — and Tabs is joined by Andy to reflect on a week of pure, relentless, overwhelming Arsenal joy. From winning the league on Tuesday to lifting the trophy at Selhurst Park on Sunday, it’s been a blur of celebrations, content, group chats, photos, videos, memes, and emotional overload. Tabs admits he’s nearly reached “Arsenal saturation point” — exhausted from happiness, scrolling, and endorphins — and he’s not alone. The pair look back on: the Palace game (aka the most pressure‑free match in years) the sunshine, the vibes, the pre‑season‑friendly energy the rotated XI and why Zubimendi at right‑back might matter Max becoming the youngest Premier League starter ever Jesus doing Jesus things, Madueke’s volley and the perfect “Arsenal 2026” set‑piece sign‑off why it's perfect finishing with a win the trophy lift and the scenes in South London and North London the endless content, the thumb RSI, the emotional burnout the final league table and how comfortable it looks in hindsight beating City fair and square — and why it matters the difference between Arsenal’s celebrations and City’s how this fanbase will help attract players the looming Champions League final This is a warm, funny, reflective episode — the comedown after the chaos, the moment where the scale of what Arsenal have done really starts to sink in. Arsenal are champions. Still. And it still feels unbelievable. Follow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app. Find us on socials: @thegroveafc This is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

    🎧 182 | 2 Games. 180 Mins. No Excuses. It Starts With Arsenal v Burnley

    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:, the undercover West Ham adventure the Ben White injury and right‑back dilemma Mascara, Hincapié, and potential rotation Odegaard’s minutes and the Champions League factor Havertz vs Gyökeres for Burnley Burnley’s dreadful away record and defensive collapse Manchester City’s win at Palace and what it means the nerves of the run‑in: 2 games, 180 minutes, no excuses the Selhurst Park spying mission and the dream of a trophy lift in enemy territory Arsenal have a rare opportunity: relegated Burnley at home, Palace away with nothing to play for, and the title still within reach. It’s simple — win, score, Champions! Two games.Six points.10,800 seconds.Everything on the line.

    West Ham Utd 0 - Arsenal 1 Undercover at the London Stadium: Arsenal Survive West Ham & Late, Late VAR Chaos Episode 181 opens with Tabs still recovering from one of the most stressful endings to a match this season, as Arsenal held on for a massive 1–0 win away at West Ham. 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. The episode dives into: the undercover away‑end mission the 94th‑minute VAR drama and why the decision was correct the meltdown from pundits, goalkeepers’ union, and Arsenal haters the stress of the final 15 minutes Odegaard’s game‑changing cameo and perfect assist Trossard’s clutch finish the Ben White injury and what it means Arteta's in game management & sub dilema the title race after City’s Brentford escape and why Arsenal simply refuse to make anything easy this season Tabs and Kuziva break down the narratives, the officiating, the psychology, and the sheer emotional toll of this run‑in — with two league games and a Champions League final still to come.

    From Budapest Buzz to West Ham Away: Arsenal Reset for the Final Push Arsenal are Champions League finalists and Episode 180 opens with Tabs still riding the high of Tuesday night’s historic win over Atlético Madrid. 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. Tabs reflects on the euphoria of reaching the Champions League final, securing a ticket to Budapest, and the surreal feeling of watching Arsenal return to Europe’s biggest stage after 20 years. But the job isn’t done. Not even close. Tabs is joined by Jamie to break down the emotional comedown after Atleti, the title‑race reset after City’s draw at Everton, and how Arsenal’s mindset shifts from celebration to cold, ruthless focus. They discuss West Ham’s deceptive form, the “three games, three wins, champions” equation, and the tactical questions facing Arteta ahead of Sunday. Then Tabs speaks with West Ham fan Adam Leatherbarrow (Dads Our Job TV) for a full opposition perspective, what’s gone wrong for West Ham, what’s gone right recently, how they view Arsenal, and what they expect from the match at the London Stadium. This episode covers: the lingering joy of reaching the Champions League final how the Atleti win affects Arsenal’s mentality City’s slip at Everton and the title‑race reset West Ham’s form, motivation and survival fight whether Arteta sticks with the Fulham/Atleti XI Declan Rice returning to West Ham with everything on the line why this feels like a penalty shootout where City have already hit the post and why Arsenal must now go blow‑for‑blow until the finish Arsenal are in a Champions League final. Arsenal are top of the league. Arsenal control their destiny. Now it’s West Ham, Burnley, Palace — and the chance to make history.
