@@awrr3409 WorldCup in France for France which was a strong squad and he's Senegalese. Yeah, Senegal isn't in Europe either. Would've been a lot more impressive had he won something with Senegal. Reaching a WorldCup knockout stage with Senegal or like quarter-finals like they achieved in 2002 (knocking out Vieira's team in the group stage) is probably as good an achievement as being part of a strong squad with Zidane etc...who are hosting a WorldCup and winning it. And I know Zidane isn't actually French either but that's not the arguement.

89

What do you mean 89? Viera started the game.

ze geners

Emirates looks big on TV, but if you're watching from the seat, the pitch doesn't look all that big. Yes, it had the minimum sized pitch allowed by FIFA. However, Highbury looked compact & small more because of the camera angle. I loved watching Arsenal at Highbury. The small distance between the pitch and supporters gave a unique and extra intimidating atmosphere.

Oh yeah. A lot of it is the TV angle - that part is really bad. But it WAS quite small, so with the pace of the premier league and the closeness of the stands to the pitch, there's nowhere to hide...especially when the tackles start flying in as they used to.

I would've liked what you had to say but think you got a few spelling and grammar mistakes there mate so was hard to follow...

Back when most footballers didn't have excessive tattoes and wear black boots.

@@bakaweiner6956 Communication goes beyond languange. Physical ques and body language matter more.

Arsene Wenger slowly ruined Arsenal. Absolutely overrated coach and self appointed football “guru”

@@mrflynn1205 don't embarrass yourself

@@ogundimuolamiji4137 Embarrass myself ? That is what he actually ended up doing, to the point that he ended up almost making himself a complete laughing stock. The guy could not set up the team tactically to save his life in those last ten years from 08 through to 2018. The evidence is right there in front of you. Any coach worth their salt absolutely would not continuously do the same thing season after season against Barcelona and Bayern (which was “play football” in his own words) and expect a completely different outcome every time and just end up losing every time. HE DID. I know it’s hypothetical but if George Graham was in charge of the awful team with that crap defence and midfield he would have found a way to get past those two teams at least once each through drilling that team defensively because believe it or not defending is an essential part of the game, but not according to Wenger it wasn’t.

1999 team > 2004 team

​@@mrflynn1205 agreed

Viera was amazing especially in this game

Not even close. I love Torreira and I think hes a fantastic player but he wont be the player Patrick was. Captain, Leader, Legend. Still to this day we havent replaced him and I think we prolly never will they just dont make em like that anymore. But physically speaking in terms of size and skill I think for example Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is kinda similar to Vieira. Id love to see him at The Arsenal!

I was going to compare Scarlett Johansson with Susan Boyle but decided it was just as pointless.

Are you crazy

You cannot compare a single current arsenal player to any of that team. Aubameyang would perhaps have been given a few starts over Anelka. But with the arrival of Thierry, not even he would get into the team. There is a reason that team were champions, in a much tougher and hostile Premiership than today - Whilst the current side can't even make top four.

Id agree with that

I agree, even as a United supporter, I always felt the games at Highbury looked and felt more intimidating than at the Emirates. Psychologicaly I think the Emirates is too pretty and comfortable & lost the intimidating atmosphere. Highbury looked like a battle ground, where as the Emirates looks like a plush modern day hotel spa...

and spent less on a stadium and more on players! i miss david dein

and david seaman was the only keeper that could keep beckam out, he was a kepper

​@@hostingoptions4260 Beckham scored against Seaman from about 25 yards out in FAcup that season and also I think Beckham only scored about 9 goals in all competitions that season so you were wrong on both counts.

When the gunners were dragon.

Yeah, offside goal lol...didn't win any major trophies with Arsenal until his 4th season.

Bullshit. ManUtd scored 80 PL goals that season to Arsenal's 59 "better football" 😆 and don't get me started on Europe which ManUtd won in invincible style and again by scoring the most goals, always strongly competed in CL in this era while Arsenal weren't jeopardising their domestic seasons by playing European football at all pretty much I.e 1997/98 Arsenal nicked the PL title because Winterburn fouled Scholes in the box at 2-2 no pen then Winterburn sets up Arsenal's late winner which was a crucial 6point swing that went towards Arsenal nicking the title by nothing margin (needed another narrow late win vs ManUtd's B-team later in the season) when ManUtd were better at attacking & defending scoring more & conceding less, Arsenal nicked it by having 1 more draw ManUtd's losses were more unlucky than Arsenal's and ManUtd had 12GD better so there was literally nothing suggesting Arsenal were better that season and Arsenal had bad disciplinary record....Arsenal like to pretend they were great when they were lucky to win something but when ManUtd win more convincingly they were apparently lucky 🤔 ManUtd won 3 PL's in a row from this match they almost won 6 in a row 1995/96 to 2000/01. And 2002/03 Thierry scored an offside brace to get a 2-2 draw both ManUtd goals legitimate and it was typically Arsenal the ones complaining somehow. ManUtd also beat Arsenal in this treble season in the FAcup basically 3 times because first game Keane scored legitimate goal bizarrely disallowed because the linesman thought Giggs passing to himself is offside 🤦‍♂️ In the replay ManUtd were 1-0 up great Beckham goal and cruising until flukey Bergkamp deflected shot and ManUtd had to beat them all over again in extra time, with 10 men....which they did with an iconic goal.

As a United fan myself I agree. United were always better on the back foot anyways. Hence the 1999 treble beating Bayern in the final and Juve in the semi. Backs to the wall was when Fergie shined. Wenger played more dominant football.

Arsenal did fuck all in Europe, though. Couldn't even win the significantly weakened UEFA Cup in 2000.

@@Al-ji4gd oh well

also does Keane

Fergie gave em the hair dryer treatment 😁😁

This loss came at the perfect time for United. Fergie fixed the defensive issues and link between midfield and forwards, and the rest of the season as we know...is history.

@@jamilakhtar8889 wenger started to take the grit out of the team. like it or not. he just took the profit out of georges drill and made the best of it. wenger never understood the arsenal way. otherwise he would never ever have accepted to sign almunia as e keeper🤦🏻‍♂️. no real backup for lehmann. or never replacing lee dixon. lucky that lauren adapted so well through luck as a midfielder. and still, was never the same threat as lee going forward. not the sharpest knife in the kitchen. not st all. wenger is guilty for more then one thing which turned against us.

He was always "on". Phenomenal player.

Is Keane a good player ?

I remember it was due to injuries to some of the key players, the lack of squad depth, and possibly an unsettled Anelka.

If they were clearly better than Man United that season then they would have won the league but they didn't as Man United were better so your logic makes 0 sense.

@@user-lj6jp8qp7z you need to stop taking things simple-mindedly

Arsenal didn't throw it away. Man Utd went on a storming run the turn of the year. They didn't lose a single game after Christmas in any competition, bar a league cup tie to Spurs.

Very underrated player. I remember his pair in a 2-0 victory over Chelsea, too.

They had one bad game that's all. When man utd were in full flow even though they were challenging on all fronts, their 10 men were too strong for this same arsenal team

This was a great Arsenal team, but ultimately they won the battle and lost the war this season.

first game against pool in 1992. bang...hooked

United were better... The table doesn't lie.

@Bakaene Mukuru Yeah so much better that you were eliminated in the first round of the European competition you were in for the 3rd out of 4 seasons in a row 1996/97 to 1999/00 whilst ManUtd competed strongly in the CL every year and in 1998/99 won it in invincible style and won FAcup with the hardest route any winner has ever had and top scorers by far in both PL & CL. If Arsenal were better than ManUtd in 1998/99 then Jesus ManUtd were on another planet compared to Arsenal in 1997/98. Arsenal were FAR luckier that year! Even just talking about PL alone & forgetting the effect a European season can have on a team's title race. ManUtd were better in the PL both seasons and didn't rely on luck or Arsenal key injuries to win 98/99 where as Arsenal DID rely on luck & many key absences for ManUtd to nick 97/98. Both seasons ManUtd scored a lot more PL goals. Both seasons ManUtd had better GD. ManUtd were PL top scorers for 7 straight seasons 1995/96 to 2000/01.

Again your talking absolute crap

He inherited a very good defense and then forgot to keep refreshing it and didn't have quite the budget needed as they were paying down the Emirates and staying out of debt. Now they need two solid center backs and a good DM and they could be in the thick of it, if UE is up to the task, that is. Jury still out on that.

@@mydancinglife730 Wenger thought football was more than just winning trophies and he became more and more greedy and refused to spend on quality players and not to forget all the lame excuses at every press conference.

@@tayeebhussain5014 Well, I can see how you might choose to look at it that way. I think it much more likely that Wenger understood that the team on the pitch was going to get less money while they built a new stadium to fund greater success in future years. He has said as much in some interviews. Now, we have to lean on the owner to not take the money and run, but actually put it back into the team and build a European dynasty like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and ManU. As for his press conferences, not everyone can be as forthright as Klopp. UE is so "diplomatic" at press conferences that I can no longer watch him. I think that Wenger was worn out in his last years and just didn't have the energy needed to keep the team in the top four and challenging for titles, but he wanted to see his project through and hopefully leave with some silverware. COYG !!!

@@mydancinglife730 The last 3 or 4 years wenger did win F.A cups but that is all the credit he deserves in his last years as a manager of arsenal but one thing is for sure he didnt like the transfer windows lol.

One man... Stan Kroenke

You got the season wrong lol

He didn't in the FA Cup Semi Final later on in the season

He left almost 16-17 years ago and we still haven’t come close to replacing him. Gilberto Silva was probably the last person we had who could do some of what Vieira would do.

@@jb.300 wenger never ever wanted this kind of players anymore....replaced him with numbers of midgets in midfield....never worked...and the club let him go on like that for 12 mor years....sheer madness, incompetence high three.

according to wiki he is a pundit for arsenal player now

Always liked him. Seemed to contribute a lot to games he played in. Had a great shot too

@@fiachra4266 yh. Then just vanished from the squad. I was really young and there was no internet but I dont remember seeing him a few years later

Don't worry, a new era is beginning,

but don`t you know they lost 6-1 before 8-2 but the difference was when they lost 6-1 arsenal players did not talk each other but these arsenal players go straightly to the hotels and non of them cares if they lost or not

@@AbdallahMNS of course they lost with the help of Howard Web, who can forget and forgive him really ?

Schmeichel shouldn't have come out so far but this ended up being a treble winning season for Man Utd

Veira giving the ball away to Giggs to gift Man United the Treble 7 months later was even a better sight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@eric stewart Or how about the linesman's only job to put the flag up when it's offside.... When you look at the disallowed goal Keane scored later that season vs Arsenal in the FAcup it's even more of a piss-take. And don't get me started on the Thierry Henry offside brace etc...

​@@cddb5408 No one cares. Football is sad anyway

In the 1 season they played against eachother....and Stam won more with ManUtd in that season than Anelka ever won with Arsenal.
