Miss these days, watching football as a kid in the early 2000s was such a treat. You never know that you're living in the good old days until they've long since passed, sadly!
Year 2 and 3 for me but was a beautiful day whenever id watch football then so much passion and love for the sport n not the money plus as an arsenal fan you could imagine the memories with that look
Me too. Chelsea finished fourth that season, qualifying for the CL. A year later Abramovich bought the club. I'm now 29 and married with two kids and feeling very old. But at least I've seen Chelsea win the lot!
So many amazing memories growing up watching this. Pissed me off how they'd take breaks at half time and I'd fall asleep hahaha oh man, good memories!!!
Used to watch this every Sunday morning as a kid with my dad before playing football myself. My dad was the manager of a team I played for. We still reminisce to this day❤
I fell in love with Brazil at the 2002 World Cup as a little boy. This is how I then went and discovered the Premier League. This is one of my earliest memories of watching West Ham United who were my local side. GOOD TIMES ⚒
I can remember watching this intro as a kid and like a switch i would want to play football immediately before any of the highlights started, these were the days we dreamed big ❤
OMG SO MANY MEMORIES!!! Iwas living in England back then! Yeah, the man u/ arsenal duality , the invincibles, the best years of henry, viera, pires/ keane, scholes, beckham, giggs.... amazing football from england. My team was, and still is, chelsea, and that is cause i moved to london and b4 me players like vialli, zola, di matteo did, and they all went to chelsea. When i got there, Ranieri was the manager, he pretty much got Lampard from west ham. Then Mourinho came and everything took a right twist. Ahhh, i was so watching so many games back then...
man i was in my teens :) this gotta be 2002 since it said liverpool gone 12 years without a league title last won in 1990.......ah back when arsenal used to dominate along with united and the matches the had........glory arsenal days
I still have his episode on video. Got 2 videos filled with the 2002/03 season, the first one has rooneys first ever goal against arsenal on it, incredible seeing that and the pundits saying after "this lad could go on and be a great player" lol. Watching them brings back so many memories and makes me miss the old days
"They say one of only three teams can take the Barcleycard Premiership title. What keeps it all fascinating is any of the others can beat them on their day" This is why the Premier League has always been the best League on Earth
ITV got a couple of things right when they got Premier League highlights... hiring Des Lynam to host the coverage and using U2's Beautiful Day as the intro song.
No better feeling than when your team won a massive game and this intro came on at night... If this never had all the adverts it would of been better than MOTD but still great memories of watching this...
from day 1 they were in trouble. they lost a lot of viewers in ireland cos 1. sky digiboxes didnt have itv at the time here. 2. the premiership was shown on irish television and when itv rolled out their plan to show it early in the evening the premiership on rte suddenly decided to do that too and began showing 15 mins BEFORE itv as for the wider audience they just hated the way ads were run on it cos bbc dont do it/plus they tried to be too techical with the tactics truck and prozone!
This was 2002/03 season my team Aston Villa almost got relegated, Sunderland had just 19 points West brom West Ham Relegated Bolton just stop up. Love this video look at Sol Campbell in an Arsenal shirt, tell him 6 years later you will play 1 game for Notts County he would think your mad. Funny old game but i love it bbc is the best for highlights i h8 adverts
Ah yes, The Premiership. Where the featured games would always be Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool regardless of whether or not they were boring 0-0 draws. Two teams at the bottom could have played out a 4-4 thriller and still be shown last. Good old ITV.

Best times for football it was a proper game in these years
Match of the day followed by wwf smack down Saturdays were life 😂
Imagine this, you're 10 years old sitting in the living room, with a cup of fruit juice, getting ready to watch arsenal, good times man
Man oh man reminiscing hurts
Just played this on my speaker man the nostalgia hit me good I was only 5 and from that day I loved football
@@connorsmith5255 Arsenal used to be good back then
What an era this was
Couldn’t be more spot on
If I could go back to any ANY time in my life, I'd choose this period without hesitation. Best Premier League era 🏆
Agreed
Well Arsenal did win 2 league titles in that period so I agree
the memories of waking up really early on a sunday to watch this!
God I just got goosebumps
What a life it was mate
Reminds me of staying at my gran’s. She used to let me stay up and watch it on a Saturday night and it was the best feeling ever, felt like a king.
That's what i used to do 😄
Same mate followed by wwf smack down 😂ma granny was a G and didn’t tell ma mum 😅
Takes me back to my Primary School days, this was the 2002/03 season, when I was in year 6. Memories...
Year 2 and 3 for me but was a beautiful day whenever id watch football then so much passion and love for the sport n not the money plus as an arsenal fan you could imagine the memories with that look
I was in year 8 in 2002-03
Was aired during the 03/04 season as well. Good times
Me too. Chelsea finished fourth that season, qualifying for the CL. A year later Abramovich bought the club.
I'm now 29 and married with two kids and feeling very old.
But at least I've seen Chelsea win the lot!
@@unknownuser9313 it was the next season he bought Chelsea haha
Just cried a little 😢 tears of nostalgia and happiness.
So many amazing memories growing up watching this. Pissed me off how they'd take breaks at half time and I'd fall asleep hahaha oh man, good memories!!!

When it says “touch me” and hits the slow-mo of Dennis’ outrageous touch vs Newcastle sent shivers through me
I fell in love with Brazil at the 2002 World Cup as a little boy. This is how I then went and discovered the Premier League. This is one of my earliest memories of watching West Ham United who were my local side. GOOD TIMES ⚒
True bro. The intro was class, it gave me goosebumps everytime it came on
Nowhere near as good as MOTD for highlights, but this opening was just class.
This is 02/03 by the way.
Naa opening was the best they had
'12 years since Liverpool won the title' That just doubled
Luqman Osman o yeah we will. Damn. Time goes so quick
It’ll treble the next time so one watches this
28 years now!
Hopefully not much longer.
jekanyika 29 now
00:56 - Dennis Bergkamp scoring Arsenal's officially ranked greatest ever goal... magical
I was there st James Park
I can remember watching this intro as a kid and like a switch i would want to play football immediately before any of the highlights started, these were the days we dreamed big ❤

How about you shut the hell up
Jay Cool U have said that 7 years after the comment was posted dumbass
Carguy69 😂😂😂😂
2002/03
I still have his episode on video. Got 2 videos filled with the 2002/03 season, the first one has rooneys first ever goal against arsenal on it, incredible seeing that and the pundits saying after "this lad could go on and be a great player" lol.
Watching them brings back so many memories and makes me miss the old days
lol the old days I miss the old 1st Division that was real football
Any way you could upload those to RUclips? I'd love to watch em back
"They say one of only three teams can take the Barcleycard Premiership title. What keeps it all fascinating is any of the others can beat them on their day"
This is why the Premier League has always been the best League on Earth
This was my childhood! Football was class back then
This is beautiful. This is my childhood 😢
Who’s here after the MOTD scandal, hoping this comes back (with the U2 intro of course 🎉)
"Re-eeeeaccch meee" as the big saves are being made - sheer class 👏
What an underrated comment this is 🔥
Early days of the Premier league with The Ledgendary Desmond Lynum Unforgettable
The nostalgia. This takes me back to childhood.
I seem to remember that, in the show's first season, Man Utd's match was nearly always shown towards the end of the program.
reminds me of a time long past
Football just isn’t the same and it’s not all for the better.
ITV got a couple of things right when they got Premier League highlights... hiring Des Lynam to host the coverage and using U2's Beautiful Day as the intro song.
Sad what the world is like these days. Good memories watching this as a kid.
Still the best thing years ago need this back
Best intro ever, i miss these times.
Spine tingling intro will always hit different
Completely forgot about this, makes me feel young again.
I remember watching this as a kid every night with the music and all, made me wanna play football every sunday morning!!
Primary school days when arsenal was in its golden era nostalgia 😌
I miss the old days and i miss the old Arsenal
I just randomly stated signing this song in the laundry LOOOL This song brings back so much nostalgia
This intro over MOTD intro any day
This was TV . These were the days . It's all spoiled now. Anytime I hear the song too just reminds me of watching the premiership .
man i love this more than MOTD opening! The music is just class and goes with the intro!
The nostalgia is strong on this one
Will never forget these times. The best times ✅
This is where I first saw the Premiership :)
beautiful, i get chills down my spine.
No better feeling than when your team won a massive game and this intro came on at night... If this never had all the adverts it would of been better than MOTD but still great memories of watching this...
I was also looking for this!!!
The best football TV programme opening all over the world!
Also it's kind of depressing to notice that nearly every player in this montage has retired...
I'd do anything to watch a Claus Jensen or Lauren Robert screamer again
Miss the the 00s best era my childhood
This is much better than Match of The Day on BBC
Nostalgia on 100!
Ended up being 30 years since Liverpool won the title.
Wow that takes me back. As was the tradition at the time, the video was recorded on a toaster.
Pure nostalgia ❤️
Am I the only one who loves the way this started....
i just got chills......
“12 years since they won the title.”
Thank the lord Liverpool finally won the damn thing.
0:56 just goosebumps.
0:56 that hair back of my neck stood up. Gosh I miss those days of my life
I enjoyed this more than I do Match of the day
Man….I love football ❤️🥹
Love that Claus Jensen goal
Bring back the Premiership football prog and that U2 tune is just perfect
The day Forlan saved Manchester United. Not everytime you can say that.
nostalgia overload
I was only 4 when this opening was on. What years was MOTD not on before linekar started?
Anyone here to remind themselves of the good old days, before all this super league BS?
As a kid I used think it was “it’s a beautiful day, to lick it away” lol
from day 1 they were in trouble. they lost a lot of viewers in ireland cos 1. sky digiboxes didnt have itv at the time here. 2. the premiership was shown on irish television and when itv rolled out their plan to show it early in the evening the premiership on rte suddenly decided to do that too and began showing 15 mins BEFORE itv

The Premiership became the Premier League.. I wonder if the Championship will become the Champions League..
Loading up football manager with the lads on a Saturday night with takeaway... perfect
Wishing this soundtrack came back to ITV 1 Coco cola championship on a good sunday morning
Yeah and then the football league got moved to BBC and it was complete shite! No more U2 :(
Much better than match of the day least annoying Gary liniker weren’t on it
Early 2000s now we’re in the early 20s decade
this brings back memories!!
This was when I got into football I feel nostalgic!
Des, IS, GOD. Lets all remember that Des, is GOD
Great times. Remember it well.
ITVs The Premiership. Or to give it it's more correct name,The Manchester United, Arsenal And Liverpool Show.
Wasn’t it just! It was as though ITV were still stuck in that Big Five mindset of the late 1980s.
0:57 is sheer brilliance.
Ah yes, The Premiership. Where the featured games would always be Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool regardless of whether or not they were boring 0-0 draws. Two teams at the bottom could have played out a 4-4 thriller and still be shown last. Good old ITV.
Man I wish these days
ARSENAL WE GUNNA DO IT BABY😢. WERE ACTUALLY MIGHT WIN IT. AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS COYG 😢❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🏆 BRING IT BACK HOME

Iconic

When match of the day was a vibe
MATCH OF THE DAY MATCH OF THE DAY MATCH OF THE DAAAY! MATCH OF THE DAY MATCH OF THE DAY, MATCH OF, MATCH OF THE DAAAAAAY!
These were the dayssss!
I remember when after CITV ended I watched this , well what I mean is that after the intro and the music ended I turned my TV off!
