As a Liverpool fan, this day will always be painful. But big losses are just as big as great victories in making your clubs history. And big respect to what Arsenal did that day. You had to come to the most intimidating arena and win by 2 clear goals, and you did it. As a 9 year old it was the most painful moment of my life to that point. Also, RIP Rocky. Fantastic player and gentlemen by all accounts.

Huge Liverpool FC fan and have nothing but love and admiration for these boys, and for the rest of the wonderful Arsenal team that fully deserved to win the title that year :)

People don’t seem to appreciate that football did exist pre 1992, that’s why it isn’t appreciated.

This was more dramatic then the Sergio Agrero moment. Easy!

Geoff Shreeves starts off with an inaccurate statement. Arsenal did not win the league by a goal difference of 1. The goal difference was equal, everything was the same, games, won, drawn, lost and points. It was so tight between Arsenal and Liverpool it was decided on the fact Arsenal scored more goals than Liverpool over the league season and we did it with 45 seconds to go.

As a 10-year-old Spurs fan at the time, that winning goal was a moment of profound childhood trauma that haunts me to this day. Thanks guys!

Wasn't one goal on goal diff. The goal diff was the same. It was goals scored that settled it

3 Arsenal legends who gave 100% and loved the club! We could do with them now!

I’m a Liverpool fan & I remember watching this on a Friday night, on the night it devastated me but looking back it’s one of the best finishes to a season of football ever

Considering how Liverpool were the favourites after the unfortunate Hillsborough disaster, it makes that win even more impressive.

How do people compare city beating relagation battling qpr at home to going away to the best team in the country and beating them 2-0

One of my favorite moments of the film was before the final match against Liverpool when the Arsenal players gave the bouquets of flowers to the Liverpool fans to pay their respects for 96 fans who passed away in the Hillsborough tragedy. Such a classy thing to do. Great film. Great moment.

Sky sports discussing 1989? But football didn't start until 1992!

Arsenal produced the greatest finish in english football history and I am proud to be a Arsenal fan. 😊🌟

I’m a Man United fan, I was 8 when this happened and probably didn’t realise the magnitude of it really... I had watched games on/off with my dad from the age of 5 but was probably more excited that I could stay up late and watch a game on a Friday night more than what the game meant until Thomas scored and then the pandemonium etc, but what a moment... can’t imagine this scenario would ever be repeated again... I think looking back, this game right here followed by the season I saw Man Utd win our first trophy the FA Cup against Palace (we were not as a good as Liverpool or Arsenal back then haha) and then Italia ‘90 just got me totally obsessed with football to the point where it was all I ever thought about growing up! Great times!

I am not an Arsenal fan, but this was the game that led the way to football being SO huge in the following years, and changed its cultural significance in Britain. That book by Nick Hornby opened up football to the middle classes, and along with the premier League and Sky Sports a few years later, etc

''Look along the line'' Lee Dixon after an offside on Fifa 20

I’ll never forget this game, stationed in Germany, had been on exercise for two weeks prior to the game with a die hard red nose telling me we had no chance, Two nil up I’m out on my balcony in my Jockeys singing we “ We love you Arsenal”..... Germans driving by must have thought those crazy brits....... at it again......... great memories......... RIP Rocky😢

Legends! Oh Rocky Rocky....

From that moment Steve Nicol started hating Arsenal

This was the very specific match which made me Arsenal fan for my life. I was 7 at that time.

OMG! So Sky suddenly realise that football was invented before 1992!!!

Remember watching it on the box and running down to Highbury, from Crouch End, at the final whistle. Pure magic that night.

I don't think people understand what the 1988-89 season did to Liverpool as a football club. The Hillsboro disaster was heart-wrenching and then it was quickly followed by such a last-minute tragedy to Arsenal. I think Kenny Dalglish didn't recover even if we did win the title the next season 1989-90. The 1990-91 season, we started really well but started losing players to injury and losing games and then the pressure hit and King Kenny quit the club. Liverpool have never been the same since he left even if Houllier and Rafa came close. But thank God that Jurgen Klopp restored us back to the top in 2018-20.

I agree, greatest finish to a season ever

Greatest moment in all my years as an Arsenal fan

To have the top two teams in the league playing each other on the last day of the season, both still able to win the league..It’s an unforgettable, special scenario in English football, I doubt it will ever be repeated again. I’m so glad my team have that special piece of history.

Not forgetting 10 years earlier, the most dramatic FA cup final finish in history, with us beating United 3:2, with 3 of the goals being scored in the last 5 minutes !!

What a great piece. I will never forget that night. The comments by MERSE, so true. When MT was bearing down, and having 2 centre backs on him and to flick it they way he did. Generally, you use the inside big toe up to the inside of the third toe. MT composed himself using the outside of his 3rd toe and 4 and 5 under extreme pressure on a straightforward diagonal. His composure must have been outstanding to manage the oncoming and then watch Grobbelaar drop to his right. It is probably one of the greatest goals, I have ever seen. I watch this game from time to time and still think Mickey is going to miss! It was really great and so much respect to Liverpool fans as they clapped our win and sang their songs. That is total class - you know!! What beautiful memories. God bless all ! x

By far the BEST league finish much better than man city 2011.

im a west ham fan but i love the sory of that season and of that team .. especially rocky rocastle .... when alan hansen said you'll never win nout with jids.... he forgot Arsenal won the league with kids 6 years earlier

Alan Smith what a player.

Best title win in history.

I actually think that this was the night and season that the great Liverpool team of the 1980s were knocked off our perch.. Although we won the the title back the following season.. We were never the same since

Hands down! There's NEVER been a scenario like that night...as my h as Sky cling onto the Aguero moment that won Man City the league, they weren't playing the champions, with winner takes all, well, two goals in Arsenal's case. ❤😂🙌

Merson is right. Had it been the Premier League back then, this would have been classed as the greatest final game of the season. Remember watching it. Hated Liverpool, loved to see it.

I was a Koppite who lost 2 friends at Hillsborough and I remember as soon as I left the ground I thought "so what, it's just a game of football". Nice to see the Arsenal boys reliving it.

Another reminder that football existed before 1992.

Wow Sky Sports actually doing some Arsenal stuff (positive stuff that is)

Paul Merton, Always brings a smile when he talks.. Brilliant player and humanbeing

Best night ever,will never forget imprinted in my memory till the day I die,love Arsenal

It was the time of my life when I was seventeen when the Gunners coming to Anfield and we weren’t given a prayer. But Smith and Thomas scoring our two goals to clinch our league title ever in the history of Arsenal FC. Never ever again and am Arsenal fan will never forget it. RIP Rocky

I was devastated losing the league that night. But fair play to Arsenal they came and did a job on Liverpool that night, and deserve the league title.

Great to hear from the fifa commentators 😂🤣

Great interview.

Lee Dixon was great in The Conjuring

Most exciting finish to a season in the history of the game. Magical. Come on you Gunners. RIP Rocky.

Such a season! When men were men , take me back!

Done Paul dirty in the thumbnail there like 😂

Ohhh Rocky Rocky!! Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky rocastle!

Omg they made the FIFA commentators into real people

Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocastle!

Loving this!!!

I always thought that Arsenal and Liverpool were level on points and goal difference after that game, but that Arsenal won the title because they had scored more goals throughout the season. Or have I remembered that wrong?

I was wondering, there must be some unseen footage of this game out there somewhere, we only ever get to see the cutaway shot of Kenny in between Dixon - Smith, there must have been at least 4 cameras filming that game?hopefully one day it will come to light

greatest title win of all time nothing comes close

Paul merson looks like he is wearing one of those big nose and glasses disguises 🤣

Best finale to a season ever !!!!Arsenal achieved the impossible on that night at Anfield ....

When the ball went in the net I remember running out of my house and did a lap of the park screaming my head off. When I'd stopped the neighbors had come out to see what all the fuss was about. Mum wasn't happy.

Oh Merse - it was appreciated! In the Red half and probably the blue as well, that game WAS appreciated!

I wish we could see the documentary in America

RIP Rocky

I remember my gf took me to watch a jazz pianist on that night. I sneaked out and was listening to the game on the radio in the bar with 3 other Arsenal fans that had escaped the music. I think the roar that went up when Thomas scored almost got us kicked out. Priceless.

Two English premier teams..legends of players..drama ensures when you have to win by goal rather than points..Nuff said.

Arsenal legends love to see it🤤

Actually it wasn't by a one goal difference, it was the same goal difference but The Arsenal had scored more goals

Great stuff

Remember watching the game with my dad on the Friday night. Once Arsenal scored their first goal we both had a feeling that they might do it. We didn’t think it would happen the way it did though. Especially as my team, Manchester United, were crap that season. Some of the games I attended that season were absolutely boring. United games that is. Apart from beating Liverpool 3-1 on New Year’s Day!!

This has to be one of the greatest football Games in the history of the game, People forget that Liverpool at the time were one of the greatest teams ever they'd dominated for over 30 years Arsenal had a dominating start but had an almighty wobble - Liverpool were left behind in the league, Liverpool were recovering from the Hillsborough disaster but came good and overtook Arsenal leaving them 3 points ahead at Anfield They were the FA Cup Winners so the double was on yet again. Arsenal needed to win by 2 clear goals, the rest is Football History, I've had some emotional times in my life but this and the Man United FA Cup final are 2 days that will fill me with Horror & Glory. I miss those days when Football was Football, how times have changed destroyed by Money.

I thaught you meant the younger Alan smith from Rothwell

As a young football player watching that game only inspired me to the good in our game. Honest players in a battle for the league,2 great sides. My two boys always ask the best game I ever seen and always say this one. (Rangers fan btw) If only we can get the game back to that kind of excitement.

And Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last attack, a good ball by Dixon finding Smith for Thomas charging through the midfield, Thomas it's up for grabs now!

I can’t believe sky are talking about something pre-1992

No argument this is the best final day of a League Season. Fulham at Fratton Park, West Brom being the first team to survive after being bottom at Christmas. Man City and Aguero was unreal. But Michael Thomas Giving Grobbelar The Eye with such calmness, after missing an unreal chance earlier.

To do what they did after the Hillsborough disaster and the emotions it's impressive. That said perhaps events there just caught up with Liverpool that day they were very flat from the off

Arsenal didn't pip Liverpool to the title on Goal Difference they pipped Liverpool to the title on Goals scored - simple facts get your facts rights unbelievable

Actually we didn't beat them on goal difference, we just scored more goals, the goal difference was the same!

0:08 Wrong. Arsenal and Liverpool finished tied on goal difference. Arsenal won the league on goals scored. I know it was pre-Premier League but get your facts right.

How do we get to see this doco in Australia?

For a second there I thought that was Saul Goodman.

26/05/1979 my 10th Birthday. No better gift for a young /Gooner

This film has been out for ages hasn't it?

Go on the boys!

Lee dixon alan smith fifaaa legends lol

Sky somehow admitting football existed before 92?

At Old Trafford, Anfield and White hart lane!!

The Micheal Thomas story is also amazing part of it

We've had so many near misses in the top-flight! Let's begin to redress that balance in a few weeks' time, you _Mighty Redmen!_ *_YNWA_*

LD: Yeah I'm in, I don't even know what you want me to do. AL: ... Put this dress on

Alan smith in the top 5best commentators on the planet 🙌🏻

Arsenal, the most hated club in England, won the league at Anfield, won the league at Old Trafford, won the league at Tottenham. Love it !!!😁😆😅

Bring these days backs!!!! The good old days. Real football real players. ❤️

Alan Smith when I play FIFA: “Yeah, I think that’s a waste!”

THE Arsenal. nothing in spurs' history that can rival this. even liveprool or man united.

I won't lie the two are pretty much the same. I mean arsenal had the same goal difference with liverpool and the same points just on goals scored plus we were three points behind but i guess modern flare makes aguero moment just pip the 89 one

WAAAIT a minute! There was football before Premier League?! Running out of topics to discuss? Maybe another opinion about random best XI?

great day i say that as a everton fan ha ha

Why this was Better than aguero vs QPR: city Needed to beat QPR, a relegated side, who pushed them right to the end, embarrassing? They should win it 5-0. Not only did Arsenal have to beat lpool, but they had to beat them by 2 goals, city just had to win. Lpool has also not conceded 2 goals at home for 2 years and arsenal hadn’t scored 2 at the kop for over 10 years. The odds were completely stacked against them meaning it was a better season end

Thanks for those memories as a kid Must of been amazing for the players, that night. Even though i stopped watching arsenal in 2002, when we did same thing to man utd, lol We did same thing to man utd in 2002, but its not as famous, as it was not last game. The year earlier, we lost 6-1(2001) in old trafford(lol), a year later in 2002, we went into old trafford and won the game, and won the league in front of there fans, and alex ferguson, that big cheater, lol Lightening does strike twice, and arsenal did the impossible twice, both times to the team dominating english football. Makes me laugh how bad arsenal are now, since they left highbury. For arsenal the north bank was as important to them, and the kop was to liverpool. Really dumb to leave highbury, and how highbury was like a cathedral, like anfield was. At least highbury is immortalised in film, in the film fever pitch they made about our team winning in 1989. Arsene wenger like i said would ruin arsenal, and he did. Great those two times we did the impossible, when everyone was saying it was crazy to even think we could goto anfield in 1989, and win by 2, and then in 2002, goto old trafford to win, to win the league. We struck lightening twice. Even though i stopped watching arsenal that night. We can always say We won the league on the mersey(liverpool) We won the league in manchester No other team has won leagues like that, and no league in history can be won in more spectacular way than arsenal did against liverpool in 1989. Liverpool totally dominated english football, and were worlds best team, and had best football stand in world, in the kop. Great tunes for fan songs. Lightening really does stirke twice, and i love how they said it was impossible both times, and we did it. Makes me laugh how bad arsenal since i stopped watching them are. lol

Thought he opened with arsenal 89' victory now on sky demand charged ...at £19.99
