About

Posted by .

The site was set up in late 2007 by Geoff and Pedro. They set out to create a place where Arsenal fans could talk about whatever they liked football wise without the fear of aggressive recriminations. Four and a bit years on, the site has posted over 1600 times and has over 1,000,000 comments approved and published. Below is out original mantra.

Le-Grove is a site where people can exchange views on issues without fear of being abused by other fans, their own or others.

A site where they can feel safe in the knowledge that they are expressing their own opinion without fear of ridicule.

If anybody does get abusive, we immediately remove their comment and block them from returning.

We are a shelter for bloggers and a haven for Arsenal fans.

We always post on current club issues and never shirk a subject, we also post every day, including the weekend.

We are non religious and non political and do not tolerate extremists from any faction.

    Hey Guys, My name is James Terry and I am just about to officially launch a new site called http://www.greatestarsenalplayer.com. It’s an incredibly addictive game and you decide who is the best player and XI Arsenal have ever had in the Premiership. It part of our Greatest Player Ever network we have launched for every team that has ever played in the Prem.

    Would you link to exchange links or perhaps we could give you some free ad space if you were to do a piece/post on the site. It would be great to hear your feedback on the site so we can make it as enjoyable as possible.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Regards
    James Terry

    Hello

    My name is Hank Kirsten and I am Marketing Manager at Infobettor Media, part of K-Mar Sports Solutions Inc.

    I have the pleasure to announce the official start of our latest project – http://infobettor.com/ .

During the matches we provide live comments.

    We have also section called “From the Blogs”. We believe that there are enough interesting blogs in the web so we decided not keep our own. Instead we would like to promote quality content like yours to be reached by more visitors. For that purpose we have used digg like approach and I hope you will enjoy it. You can submit your articles at http://infobettor.com/en/from_the_blogs/ and after quick review by our editors it will be published.

    Thank you.

    Dear Le Grove,

    My name’s Chris Henry, I’m a reporter at WinkBall.com.

    With yourself as an Arsenal fan and blogger I wanted to make you aware of WinkBall’s weekly football show. It features coverage of the fans from the Arsenal v Blackpool game. We got a great response from both sets of fans.

    Please feel free to have a look at our show and let us know what you think.

    Here is the link;

    And we mentioned it on our blog where you can see the show as well;

    Just like to say the key to this whole mess is in the wage structure. Too many players who should only be there as an absolute last resort back-up (perhaps on something like 10K a week) are being played as first teamers on many times more than that.

    It’s not that we can’t afford the transfer fees, it’s because we can’t afford the wages of top class players because too many mediocre players are pretending to be world class when they are not but are getting paid as such.

    Hi Geoff and Pedro

    love the blog. Just listened to the podcast with Matt – very interesting and informative….as you say, you don’t own a studio so the sound was a bit dodgy…..but given that I’m a broadcaster/TV journalist – who is also a Gooner – I can recommend some v.good value microphones that are perfect for podcasts – then we could all hear your pearls of wisdom with clarity!!!

  43. Nick

    Hey guys, love your blog. Any chance of a link swap with my Arsenal blog. I’m trying to do something a bit different so hopefully fellow gooners will dig it.

    Cheers, Nick

    I am a life long Gooner currently residing in Dubai. Enjoy your website and agree with the majority of your comments although not all.

    I feel that the Everton game is crucial, and if we can beat them and the yids lose to Man Citeh then it’s likely we will have a top4 finish and finish ahead of the yids. Keep the posts coming
