I agree with everything except the name. I think it should he called "New Highbury". I hate the name Emirates, it makes us plastic

@@kaissersreich New Highbury doesn't sound great honestly. Highbury wasn't even the stadium's name it was where the stadium was based. I personally always liked stadiums that are named after people more. It feels like a name that summarizes a huge part of a club's history like Santiago Bernabeu, Giuseppe Meazza and Vicente Calderon back in the day. Now lately there are the likes of the Johan Cruyff arena and Estadio Diego Armando Maradona and none of these men did for their clubs as much as Arsene Wenger did for us. He deserves it and it sounds great. It immortalizes all he did for us. I also fully agree with Emirates making us sound plastic and hope they do not renew it next time.

The name of our stadium is Ashbaton Grove; due to contractual agreements for it is called emirates for some years.

@@davieabsonvlog2656 Ashburton, yes.

The major problem in arsenal is. owner.. kroenke..he come to arsenal since 2007 but since then arsenal become more and more medioker team...bad management...selling arsenal super star..and bring mediocre player...if mansour(mancity owner)/ Roman Abraham is KROENKE..maybe they will bring us super star player to make arsenal biggest team in the world...

Same to me Daniel Ohio

Yh well truth be no one could match our technical players and team play so pathetic pork pig british corrupt bastard referees (who hated Arsene) allowed opposition to kick out extraordinary players off the park and get inured. Rosciky, Hleb, flamini, Diaby all midfield and got serious injury?? Coincidence? Ref did job to help club like ManureUrine Marinated simply Arsenal midfield was too good. Oh and don't forget serious injury to Ramsey (also midfelfider) and Eduardo too. Shocking injuries. Most referees and pgmol, coward webb, Mike deane probably like fergies farts after games. Mike riley definitely did.

Agree was not same player after he left for barca, same with song

Yep, he destroyed Liverpool and I'm not even mad.

Hleb's dribbling skills is so underrated!

@@craigobrien31 He went there to be a bench warmer. Regreted it as he stated may times, that move ruined his career.

I can’t believe we sold him Cesc Helb rosiscky n flamini

Loved that side of 07/08. The football that season going forward with the likes of Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Walcott, Van Persie & Adebayor was absolutely scintillating. The precision of those intricate & incisive one touch/two touch interchanges, movement off the ball and build up play in the final third at times was utterly breathtaking. That was by far my favourite time being an Arsenal supporter in terms of that electric style of football that we used to play. Just a shame we couldn't get over the line and reward all that exceptional free flowing attacking football with a Prem title at the end of it: ●Going into that Birmingham game which Eduardo broke his leg in we had the opportunity to go 8 points clear as it was an early Saturday K:O on the 27th G/W before everyone else played. ●Including the Birmingham draw we drew 5, lost 2 and won just 1 of our 8 league games in that period which ultimately cost us the title. ●Finished on 83 points (4 points off Man Utd). The 2 we lost were 6 pointers against Man United and Chelsea respectively as well to make it even more painful. Even if we'd just managed to beat United during that horrific run of results it would have hypothetically meant that we would have won the league in hindsight if the 3 points went the other way although obviously I appreciate the entire dynamic of the run in would have been altered by those chain of events. Fine margins. We completely imploded from gameweek 27-34. What could have been 😔.

i agree with you, altough thierry's leadership would have been important that season

What tackle

Towards the end of Henry's arsenal career, he was inhibiting the team. If a player didn't pass to him and the chance went missing, they'd be berated. Henry needed to leave to let his teammates flourish.

@Jack Wiliam That all might be true that he would berate his temmates and demand the ball but I would 100% want a forward who demands the ball than one thats afraid or passes too much that being said, I agree he needed to leave to have his eyes opened up a bit.

Fuck every referee from then. The Arsenal are soft, sorry about your broken leg, years... X

Diaby/ wilshere/ eduardo😭 Brilliant players under Arsene Wenger. Horrible injury set backs

He was a great finisher

Diaby too :( great player

We saw so many stars and soldiers fall because of injury. Arsenal history could have been completely different. 😢

At the end of the day you were 4 points short so you didn’t deserve the title

I loved your statement...We played... Yes, as Gooners we played with this team ... Wonderful memories ... A beautiful dream.

bang average keeper, shaky defense, injury problems and shallow squad depth

My Favourite Player of All Time: ● Fabregas was 17 years old during virtually the entirety of his breakthrough season of 04/05 and made 33 league appearances (24 starts) in a side just off the back of winning the previous seasons league without losing a game, finished 2nd in that current campaign and won the FA Cup. Just let that sink in. Absolutely frightening 😲. ● Youngest Arsenal goalscorer: (16 years 212 days v Wolves Dec 2003) Youngest Arsenal goalscorer in League: (17 years 113 days v Blackburn Aug 2004) Youngest Arsenal goalscorer in Europe: (17 years 217 days v Rosenborg Dec 2004) ● Only he and Evan Ferguson have 10+ goals/assists to there names as 18 year olds in the Premier League era who weren't from England. Had to get that one in as an Irishman 😄. ● Statistics show that in the five years prior to Fàbregas's departure from Arsenal, Fàbregas created 466 goal-scoring chances, made 86 assists and scored 48 goals, all three statistics topping those of new teammates Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, despite both having made more appearances in the same period. ● 09/10 League Season: Apps: 27 Goals: 15 Assists: 15 Who knows what numbers he would have finished with that season if he'd avoided a few niggling injuries during the first half of that campaign and not fractured his leg to Barca in March and been ruled out for the remainder of the season. I've no doubt that he would have comfortably broken the record of 20 assists in a PL season and in all likelihood would have 20+ League goals to his name alongside it. All from CM at 22 years of age in his second season as club captain as well it's worth noting. ● All time leader in history of assists for Spanish national team. ● Most assists as a CM in the 21st century ahead of the likes of Lampard, Gerrard, Iniesta & Xavi. ● Only player in PL era to record 10+ assists in 6 separate seasons. ● 2nd All Time Leader in assists in PL history to Ryan Giggs who spent 9 and a half more seasons than him in the PL . ● Made captain of Arsenal at the tender age of 21 as well. He was absolute magic

rvp adebayor

@ Alex George agreed, he was world class for us.

Me too man. I was 8 that time. I wanted to be a midfielder like Cesc. After he left Arsenal, I became a forward. I am now 20 still trying my luck in lower league clubs in Uganda. But boy were those guys a joy to watch. Walcott.

@@izzie.12 ay good luck my g, hope you’ll make it

True. Diaby was great player. Really sad to his career finish in a undesired manner

It made me soooo sad seeing Eduardo and all of his goals.

yes, yes, yes. such a great great finisher.

Diaby could have been among the footballing greats if he didn't suffer so many injuries.

Injuries to those 2 costed us the League that season

Building there stadium ruined this club, so many players sold to balance the books. Hleb was a total genius along with Rosicky. We had a team of youngsters ready to push on, but sadly the heart of the team got sold, and players just had so many injuries, which I think was because of the way we played. This was a great team but that stadium and the debt cost this club in the long run, and now we're seeing the fall out from it.

They were awesome but how about Carzola, Berkamp, Fabregas, Ozil? Carzola is my personal favourite, the guy was just a genius on the ball

The whole team was just so special and will always hold a place in the fan's heart, Wenger was like their proud father watching them play with so much swag. Even the defensive players like Song, Denilson, Toure played with more courage and creativity than any of our current players...

Carzola?

really? 2 of the best technicians? what's with your memory, dude? Bergkamp, Fabregas, Henry, Pires, Santi are sky higher than Hleb and Tomasz.

Hate to mention it but Adebayor was a beast too

My sentiments exactly

Don't forget about Flamini, a workhorse in the midfield.

Eduardo instinct. His killer touch was badly missed when he got injured,him and adebayor had a good partnership

How do you praise all of those guys & leave out Adebayor? Probably your best player that season.

We're back finally and we as fans have deserved it so much

I think the biggest frustrating thing then was not being able to invest in good quality players. We often had to find players that no one heard of or there weren't much competition getting them. Wenger focused more on getting good attackers but defence was very poor. Wenger did so well with what he had back then. Imagine he had this squad we have now.

But this team won nothing

West ham

Such an elegant baller. He was top drawer technically. His balance, close control, vision, disguise, feints and swift drops of the shoulder that he would do when he was dribbling were great to watch. His timing and weight of pass as well were excellent and he was brilliant at creating space for teammates to run into by drawing opposition players towards him when he was in possession of the ball. He's on the record publicly as well saying that the worst thing he ever did was leaving Arsenal and going to Barcelona or something to that effect. He doesn't get talked about enough by fans when talking about this period. Most fans from other clubs probably don't even remember him. Very underrated and underappreciated.

@@oisin5684 100% Facts

Yea but what you're leaving out is that we aslo played sideways and backwards under Wenger. Yes! This video is awesome but it's a compilation of when moves clicked perfectly in place. Some of these matches we even lost,like the match in the thumbnail. We didn't even win a single trophy through this period. I get nostalgia can make you see things with rose tinted glasses but come on... Beautiful football is not a lost art and with the way our next gen is playing rn, I can have hope of the flawless magical game returning

@@thezoid.withfreaky6204 If you look how we played under Emery and under Arteta (no disrespect to them as coaches) and how we played under Wenger you’d see that we barely played sideways and backwards in comparison. I don’t know how old you are or how much of Wenger’s Arsenal you watched but we ALWAYS created chances. If anything we were *too* attacking, and when we had a squad of players struggling to compete we left ourselves open a lot, got thrashed by all the elite sides. Also I know we didn’t win a trophy during this time but it was the right way to play and it was expressive. Barcelona played the exact same way bar the fact their players were 10x better than ours. Nowadays we have the odd game where we scrape about 5 shots and 2 on target in 90 mins, that never happened under Wenger. THAT is sideways, play-it-safe football. Watching this video is a breath of fresh air, this is the football Arsenal are known for, call it nostalgia or whatever you want but I was way more excited and on the edge of my seat during games 8-10 years ago than I am now.

@@MarceloDinoYT the side Wenger built for the season shown in this video was the last one of real quality. Everything just clicked, I loved it, but a lot of the key players left soon after (Flamini, Hleb, Adebayor); we couldn't replace them and arsenal gradually declined from there (over the course of 11-12 years!). This was the last display of Wenger's genius, he was unlucky, but it was the turning point - had he kept a few of those players a bit longer, and/or maybe were it not for Eduardo's injury, I'm quite sure everything would have been different.

The problem is when the club regained its financial stability they didn't support him as the team was playing well, attracting people and going to Champions League every year.

The club started to die in 2007. Wenger slowed the process

You don't get how frustrating it is for me to see people, even still after what we've seen during the last 2 years, still blaming Wenger for whatever the hell the club is going through. He had one or two bad seasons at the end, and I'd easily argue it was probably due to the fans being so toxic towards him, but ge still managed to keep us afloat without any financial help almost, at the highest level, playing quality football year in year out, and actually competing.

@@Ibrahimhr10 people are so ungrateful Wenger was still the best to ever done it

We still had Lehmann that season so you can add him as well. He was dropped for Almunia after like 2 league games and never got back in the team for an extended period of time unfortunately.

We fumbled because of the injury and then it slowly fell apart. Hleb, Cesc, Adebayor all left. Dismantled us and Wenger was hurt.

do you notice mate that you mention no defensive midfielder of value.

Almunia remains the worst goalkeeper I’ve ever seen. And I include the Sunday league goalies I saw during my playing days. He was utter utter shit. We got him from the Spanish second division - which is of a farcically low standard. He had never played a high level match before. I don’t know was it nerves or what but he did around 5 crazy things every single fucking game. These included but are by no means limited to 1. Come charging out of his goal for no reason. 2. Forget to cover basic angles and this leave a huge area of the goal for the forward to score. 3. Not come charging out when it was necessary. 4. Dive in a super man flying kind of way and let the ball go under or over his hands. ( see CR7 goal in ECL SF match although he did this regularly) 5. Throw the ball out incredibly quickly in the final seconds of a Match that we were winning by a goal. Often this throw was to a player surrounded by opposition players. 6. Not throw the ball out quickly when we were losing. In fact then he would take all day and eventually kick the ball into touch. 7. Set up a wall and then stand right behind the wall. The wall is meant to allow you to guard the other side you CLOWN. I’ve no idea how he managed to make a career at a top club for so long. United - post Schmeichel, who in his peak remains the best GK I’ve ever seen - struggled to find a replacement. They had some shockers but Ferguson always got rid of them. Many of them got 2 chance. Make one mistake, okay. Make 2 and it was see ya. You’re not cut out for a top club. And they were gone. He put up with Barthes for 2 seasons and got rid. Wenger had this pride thing about Almunia. He kept him for fucking ages. He cost us COUNTLESS games. He was truly, truly an awful player.

@@alansouthall8221 Im not lamenting that United side lol, just putitng things in context. Yeah, I agree there was mental weakness that cost them, there were a ton of young players, and some real dropkicks like Gallas and Bendtner. That being said, you're underplaying how good that side was. Just because they're not regarded super highly these days, doesn't mean they weren't unlucky or underrated. They were objectively pretty fuckin unlucky vs liverpool in the ucl. Bad refereeing calls change results. It's not like there are 1000 games in a season, where it's all likely to even out, sometimes teams get unlucky af. In at least one of the games vs United in the league, you could argue that they deserved to win given the chances created, tho u could argue that they should've been stronger and finished the chance. - Then of course there was that game vs Birmingham with the horrid penalty decision, and the Eduardo injury which shattered the team's momentum (tho calling Eduardo's injury unlucky is being kind, teams back then set out to kick the shit out of Arsenal, it was only a matter of time, as seen when the same thing happened to Ramsey and Diaby in the next 2 years). The following seasons, I'd agree, luck wasn't a major factor. But that 07/08 team, I will maintain was a great side, the best Arsenal team following the invincibles (were more fun to watch tbh), and were unlucky not to win something.

Diaby would have been a monster if not injuries, he had EVERYTHING required for modern football!

We were five points ahead of second placed Manchester United coming into the last EPL match in the month of February - the match that Eduardo suffered that horrific injury - but at at the end of the day Man U carried the day. It still hurts me to date to remember how the title slipped away that season. If only we could keep fit at least two of those players the entire season.

Such an elegant baller. He was top drawer technically. His balance, close control, vision, disguise, feints and swift drops of the shoulder that he would do when he was dribbling were great to watch. His timing and weight of pass as well were excellent and he was brilliant at creating space for teammates to run into by drawing opposition players towards him when he was in possession of the ball. He's on the record publicly as well saying that the worst thing he ever did was leaving Arsenal and going to Barcelona or something to that effect. He doesn't get talked about enough by fans when talking about this period. Most fans from other clubs probably don't even remember him. Very underrated and underappreciated.

Injuries always destroying our dreams about trophies

Injuries literately removed some history from our club. So much heartbreak for an Arsenal fan. Now we don’t even resemble what used to be beautiful Arsenal play style. I hope we can find ourselves again.

Rooney Ronaldo and tevez

Because Dirty money entered the league.

easy. no steel in midfield. typical arsene team from 2006 on

👍😂

Arsenal nowadays is painful to watch.. slow passing, no movement off the ball.. cross into the box for no one, lots of passing between defender and launch a longball for attacking players.. lots of hope for arteta but let be honest, he will be sack after next 1 or 2 season

Don't worry we'll rise again one day

Chelsea and United were better than us. It’s the season that Leicester City won that hurts.

That guys was brilliant at Arsenal. He even regretted leaving Arsenal.

I'm still on the lookout for his clone.

I truly loved watching Hleb play

and Song followed him, both of them ruined their career because they wanted to play for Barca.

@@IbrahimAli-jb8ml not even really bc they wanted to play for Arsenal, it was just for the money! I know Hleb said that is his "In Lockdown" Arsenal interview and I believe I saw a quote from Song saying the same thing. A dang shame. They could have both been LEGENDS

Only RVP and Eduardo were quality. The other 3 were not, that's why they didn't win the league

Adebayor, RVP, and Eduardo were killing it until the incident knocked Eduardo out and RVP had his usual injuries. Birmingham changed everything. There was a palpable foreboding sense after that match that something wasn't right. Still they kept it close to the end.

@@dannraihan5671 Man that some serious disrespect to Adebayor guy scored 24 league goals that season.

True only manager t go unbeaten all season n win the league bad man

Even Alex Song created enough than our whole squad under Arteta

We should make our current players watch all these beautiful football that Arsenal used to play, and remind them that this is the Arsenal way.

I have been looking for this comment...

and why....arsene couldn't teach them how important proper defensive play is and allways will be.

Perfect summary of Arsenal in the last few years

Every damn league...

You were born in 2008 and you have a phone and a KZfaq account? I need to speak to your parents sir

It’s cause if u don’t win the league no one cares

Rvp, Eduardo and adebayor and walcott up front, cesc, hleb and rosicky and diaby in middle. If only they were injury free that season.........
