I was there, can even just about see myself in the video near the front row of the north bank next to my late brother. I was 14 at the time but this is still possibly one of my favourite ever games. My bro always tried his best to take me to the big games. ❤ this vid thank you.
Same. The perfect blend between the steel & grit of the George Graham's side and the flair & pace of Wenger. The invincibles were probably better but I love this team
I agree old school none of this crap today where as soon as they get touched today they roll around on the floor like they've been shot or something I miss the 90s football it was brilliant
Yes. They had the blend just perfect. The Invincibles used to walk the ball in the net and in tight games could be frustrating to watch. The hardly ever shot from outside the box. This team was a bit more raw, aggresive, direct, defensively sound. This defence was better than the Invincibles who relied heavily of the attacking prowess of the team to be their defense imo Petit>Gilbert Overmars >Ljungberg or Pires Although -Ljungberg, Pires > Ray Parlour The difference between the teams is one other to replace Ray Parlour, either Pires or Freddie. Thierry Henry is the biggest difference though.
You know , I can't get enough of the football from this Era. The players were 10 x more charismatic as that bunch overpayed multi mjllionairs who perform their circus tricks and seem to have all kind of secret help from something or someone far above our heads . At least , half of them seems to be praying to a footballgod of somekind. Must be some new religion . No , back to the days when football was exiting and nail-biting nerve-wracking . And you went home after a match full of adrenaline .Nowadays I watch a good game that I've forgotten 5 minutes later . There was less football on tv back then , but it had much more impact than nowadays . Still entertaining , absolutely , but not like then .
I was there in north bank that day came over with Dublin arsenal supporters club.. unbelievable game remember utd fan stood up cheering in north bank when teddy scored 2nd goal and he got battered
Remember this match well. The premier league today can't hope to match the intensity and atmosphere in the stands from back then. What we now have is a very corporate and sanitised version of football. Also Highbury is sorely missed. The Emirates is a great arena, but it can never hope to match the character or history of Highbury. Highbury had so much character, four uniquely different stands, one being a grade 2 listed building. I look back fondly on such a stadium.
Sir Alex Ferguson , saw an interview last night with him. Our "Sir" used the word fu'kin' at least 35 times within 7 minutes of conversation . And I only started counting when I noticed he used it that often . Too bad I 've always hated ManU, for he was a funny , funny man. Not intentionally , of course , but still , fucking funny . 😆 And it became even better after the arrival of monsieur Arsene Wenger . They became the comic duo of football. One of the many reasons why I've always loved British football. 😍
Bloody hell I'm exhausted only by watching this. The game was so intense. Winterburn telling the ref to go away even though some utd fans threw objects at him proves what an era that was.
Utd fan here. Remember the Wenger /fergie rivalry very well . Overmars used to terrify the life outta me more than any other player . Same as Robben did at Chelsea . Brilliant player .
@@inaayathoque1998 I don´t know but it wasn´t xd. I mean, he did a good job, but there were other players who were more brilliant. And Bergkamp recieved the two awards of best premier league player in 1997-98 season, FWA Footballer of the Year, and PFA Players' Player of the Year.
While going forward and in attack Wenger was unmatched in finding attacking midfielders and strikers, in defence he really did make some shocking signings. Gilles Grimandi, Remi Garde, Nelson Vivas, Oleg Luzhniy, Igor Stepanovs, Pascal Cygan etc Grimandi was almost completely at fault for the 2 Sheringham goals.
Looking back, it's insane to think that we won the Double that season, with players like Gilles Grimandi, Alex Manninger, Stephen Hughes, Luis Boa Morte and Christopher Wreh!!!
What is it about ManUtd going to London to play their title rival in early November and losing controversially to a team with Anelka in and being denied a stonewall pen & conceding a late header that loses them the game and ultimately the title by 1 point after another narrow late loss to that team at OldTrafford in the Spring which costs them an unprecedented number of PL title's in a row.
ManUtd winning 5 PL's in 6 seasons 1995/96 to 2000/01 🤣 And more FAcups than Arsenal and more ChampionsLeague's 😄 Only title Arsenal won was because of that no penalty Scholes decision at 2-2 of this game and ManUtd were competing strongly in CL while Arsenal were knocked out of UEFAcup 1st round 1996/97, 1997/98 & likewise 1st round of CL 1998/99 & 1999/00 😁
@@FootkerSnooball All you had to do was beat West ham on the last game of the season 1995 and win this game in November 1997 and you would have won 9 Premier leagues in a row. No wonder you sound salty.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was too young to watch Parlour in his prime. Seems like Milner of that era. Amazing engine & playing with absolute heart, passion & desire. Now I realise why he‘s one of the fan favourites from the 90s!❤
This is REAL soccer! NOT modern the most slightly touch and they fall down like been gun shot and pick themselves up when been given freekick what a shame! This era players play for club, now players play for $, with VAR kept stopping flow of the game and addition time add up to 12mins that is crazy! Dont even watch game on tv nowaday.
@terryloker2585 HenningBerg was a new signing he'd already won the PL with Blackburn, who did you expect ManUtd to play there Stam? Ferdinand? these players weren't in the ManUtd team yet. Johnsen I suppose could've started but maybe it was squad rotation. I think DavidMay & Johnsen had been involved in some heavy defeats the year earlier though and Pallister had had a longer ManUtd career as a starter but Johnsen was the more preferred choice to May and could also play defensive midfield. I remember Pallister struggling in this game and vs Liverpool at OldTrafford etc...but he was actually the only ManUtd centre-back who started all the games he played that season and he had the most appearences out of all the CB's (33, at age 32). ManUtd did still have the best defence record only conceding 26 goals. This was only a few days after Irwin got injured in ChampionsLeague away to Feyenoord when Bosvelt got to be subbed off before getting a 2nd booking after he nearly broke Irwin's leg. P.Neville was a good enough replacement most of the time. He contributed a lot to the PL/FAcup double 2 seasons earlier than this, as did all these English ManUtd players apart from Sheringham who was a new signing replacing Cantona who'd decided to retire after the 1996/97 season. Keane was injured from September 1997 for the rest of the 8months of the season. This was Pallister's last season at ManUtd he had back problems so that's probably why the likes of Adams who's about a year year&a half older & had alcohol problems but still along with Dixon played for Arsenal for another nearly 5 more seasons to get another PL/FAcup double in 2001/02 and Dixon was 2 years older than Pallister.... Winterburn about the same age he left Arsenal in 2000 but still played in PL for other team until 2003 Pallister played for Middlesbrough in the 3 seasons ManUtd were 3-peating & winning the treble etc....then he retired in 2001. But in regards to what Ferguson's thinking was to start Pallister in this game probably his experience and also he had played at Anfield 96/97 vs title challengers Liverpool 7months earlier and ManUtd won 1-3 with him scoring a brace which basically won ManUtd the league. Also SteveBruce was nearly a full 5 years older than Pallister and he only left ManUtd just over 1 year before this game. DavidMay had been involved a lot the previous 2 seasons as CB but would be a rare starter from this season onwards until he left. But ManUtd had loads if injury problems that season, even Johnsen got injured as well. So did Giggs & Schmeichel ontop of the other ones mentioned. Cantona had never lost a league title in England that he'd finished so that was a blow to have him retire after his first & only season as the official captain and then Keane was made regular captain and he gets injured and misses most of the season. ManUtd also sold Poborsky mid-season and at that point ManUtd thought they were ok despite this loss which did turn out crucial. Ended up having to play JohnCurtis in games who struggled, BenThornley, a very inexperienced WesBrown etc...Poborsky wasn't a regular but he was better backup than a Thornley. ManUtd still would've won the 97/98 title despite the many injury problems if they got the pen at 10:53 because Arsenal needed to take maximum points home&away from ManUtd to stand any chance that season. Anyway Ferguson learned from this. He made sure there was plenty of strength in depth the following season.
Why did you edit out the original video for both Platt's and Vieira's goals?
8 months too late... but the live angles on those goals are copyrighted, so those edits were the only workarounds to make the video available.

The commentary negates the fact that actually from January '98 Arsenal went on the amazing run
El arsenal fue el mejor equipo de los 90 hoy en día sigue jugando en la premier
😂😂😂
Proper tackles and no cards and players getting straight back up without whining.
Wht an amazing highbury atmosphere. So much better than the emirates these days.
Not anymore
I was at this game when I was 11 years old. Thanks for the upload. Up the goon!

Gilles Grimandi, Remi Garde, Nelson Vivas, Oleg Luzhniy, Igor Stepanovs, Pascal Cygan etc Grimandi was almost completely at fault for the 2 Sheringham goals.
No ones perfect
A terrible manager! He had great players but still didn't get the better of Ferguson with much more average players
Highbury at its best
06:18 if u came for Vieira's goal
How I wish I could go back to November 9 97
Looking back, it's insane to think that we won the Double that season, with players like Gilles Grimandi, Alex Manninger, Stephen Hughes, Luis Boa Morte and Christopher Wreh!!!
I could have sworn Steve Bould was playing upfront for a period in that second half!
10:57 VAR would like to have a word…
Remember when our players weren't scared of Watford?
First goal for Anelka ( 18 years old)
Parlour was everywhere, man.
What a game.
Two great gosls from Anelka and Vieira.
Manchester United gets their two goals until Platt getting our winner.
Ray Parlour was the star of that show , what a player
Great memories 💪🏼

Anelka could’ve been a god
Best game Ray Parlour ever played in the Arsenal shirt.
Ray parlour was great in nearly every performance in an Arsenal shirt
We could do with him now
I was there with my sister, and my late dad.
the game that made me fall in love with footy and Arsenal
David Platt scored a header like he was throwing an alley-oop dunk in the air like a basketball
Teddy Sheringham always hated Arsenal, and the feeling was mutual. I'd forgotten how much I disliked him until I came across this video.
Overmars ripping Gary Neville down the left wing! 😄😄😂
ManUtd winning 5 PL's in 6 seasons 1995/96 to 2000/01 🤣

For us every day is Christmas.Gunners
Vieria scoring that rocket goal for 2-0
Ray Parlour, such a good player 👏🏾👌🏽
His work rate was highest among all arsenal players
Ray was brilliant.
He was better than beckham
Was too young to watch Parlour in his prime. Seems like Milner of that era. Amazing engine & playing with absolute heart, passion & desire.
Now I realise why he‘s one of the fan favourites from the 90s!❤
Start of something special between these 2 teams
Both team's Jersey 🥵 vintage look😋

Most certain penalty ever. Never getting it with Kenny Dalglish officiating though.
Overmars for me MOTM
That was Toughest Gunners ever!!!! Ginger warrior Ray top!!!!
Ведь они молодцы! Я за них!
Anelka scoring a great goal to give us the lead but he went silly afterwards.
It really wasn't that great. I think it was the worst goal out of the 5 in this game.
I had never seen Peter Schmeigel so bad
Arteta rebuild like this.
COYG
Even back then Manchester United had to face 12 men!
But we rilly miss a player like palor that guy was so grt
10:53 and that decision decided the destination of the Premier league trophy that season.
where's Dennis Bergkam?
At home

Dreadful commentary. Please name players with ball.

An old Pallister . Berg and Phil neville at the back ?? No Keane on the pitch . No wonder we got beat LOL
