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.
