If we'd won that Champions League Final in 06' everything would've bee different. Pain

[@blaquenguni9249]

I feel that Wenger would've been able to attract star players and underpay them, and they would've joined simply for the chance to play for the man who "turned down the Real Madrid job" and made Arsenal a myth. Thus Arsenal could've continued to pay off their stadium debts, but would've been making much more money due to their marketing and commercial sales by attracting superstars like Franck Ribery(Marsseile) Wesley Sneijder (Ajax), David Villa (Valencia) and many other great players that I'm convinced would've wanted to simply play for Wenger. That being said Arsene Wenger wasted many prime years starting in 2002-2005 building a LEAGUE team, instead of coming up with a specific team and tactics to face European teams (defence orientated, using the pace of Henry as a counter attacking move)... Arsenal crashed out the GROUP stages of the CL way too often and when they made it out the group never went far, yet that match vs Inter at the San Siro in 2003 showed Arsenal had the firepower to bang with them hitters. AC Milan had the OPPOSITE philosophy, sacrifice league, go all or nothing in Europe, it lead to a Win in 2003, (2004 they chocked away a 4-1 lead and got ko'd early and guess what... They won the damn Scuddeto), final in 2005, semi final in 2006 and another win 2007. Arsenal between 2002-2006 should've adopted Milan's philosophy

[@Asshat237]

For the youngsters who don't know this era of Arsenal glory - Wenger was Pep before Pep. People said their possession style couldn't hold up against English physicality. He proved them wrong. As Pep's playing career at Barca was coming to a close he called Wenger wanting to join. That's the clearest example of how influenced Pep was by Wenger's Arsenal. Unfortunately, the funding of the Emirates stadium (which was necessary because Highbury's capacity was only 38k, the rise to 60k would see matchday revenue rise by over 50%) caused the team to continually sell star players. Wenger and Arsenal dominated the transfer market in these days continually buying low and selling high to maintain top 4 an incredible 19 YEARS IN A ROW from 98-2016. Even Fergie only managed 18 in a row from 96-13.

[@nevillethompson2928]

To be an authentic Arsenal fan you must be old enough to have experienced the workaday football produced by Terry Neill, Don Howe and George Graham teams. My first game in 1968 at Highbury was a terrific match against Leeds, earnest endeavour epitomised the match, my gaze was transfixed to Jackie Charlton, his giraffe like gait something to behold. But the team provided honest, dogged, and determined football, the GG era really solidified Arsenal's boring reputation, the 89 team probably provided my favourite ever sporting moment. The Wenger era obviously provided great beauty and plenty of excitement, but the first ten years was an amalgamation of GG's 'boring' solid era and Wenger's imaginative, stylish tactics, this is my point, the greatest period in Arsenal's history was the binding of traditional values and the fresh, French fantasy of Wenger's tactics. Those who experienced the dreary days of Howe and Neill and then the joie li vive of Wenger's football have balance, I've always found the best supporters are those with football equilibrium, experiencing the joy of winning and the despair of losing, similarly, my preferred Arsenal people are those with similar symmetry to my own, appreciative of the workaday, ecstasy with the fancy stuff.

You should do a video on Liverpool of the 80s, the generation of today don’t understand how dominant that team was

[@justiceoforiszn5390]

This is the best documentary I've ever watched. It's so good that I wish I hadn't watched it looool. Now I can't watch it again

[@TJAidoo14]

Best documentaries I’ve seen for a while. Had no idea how much history we made and had no idea how long the we had money issues. Great content.

That UCL final broke my heart.

[@moderngladiators300]

Beauty of life, everyone has his side of the story. As Barcelona fan, that was the first Barca UCL since 1991, and thier rivalry with madrid was intense, Ronaldinho and eto against the Galactic's.

You`re not alone. To this day I say the ref cocked up by sending off Jens. I remember Souness after the game saying it totally ruined the Champions League Final for Arsenal, & the neutrals as a spectacle. He should have let the resulting tap in after Etoo went over, stand. I still believe we would have turned them over from 1-0 down. We would have still had Pires on the pitch, with over an hour to play.

No matter how bad it ended for wenger's time at arsenal. We can't deny he was revolutionary and paved the way for other non-british managers in the premier league.

[@moshoodabdulrafeeu1704]

Respect to Wenger and what he has achieved but it seems this team has a long history of bottling things up. Arteta seems to be doing exactly what Wenger did then too

[@maxpowers111]

Arteta doesn't have 20% of Wenger's ability.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Incomparable - Arteta can't hold a candle to the charisma, class and sophistication of someone like Wenger.

These videos are absolutely AMAZING. Please do keep making more of them, I love how complete they are and the way you describe them.

[@kwameaboagye-cl9me]

For me, Arsene Wenger is the greatest Arsenal manager of all time. Wenger brought in exciting football to our team. He bought Petit, Giberto, Henry, Pires, Overmars, Kanu, Lauren, and van Persie. He led us to three league titles, including unbeaten in 03-04. Two league and cup doubles and four FA cups twice back to back.

[@mangoesboy]

Wonderful documentary. Arsenal with such a strong spine with heart, to spineless and soulless Arsenal now. Such a fall.

[@Internaz]

Are you preparing a new documentary? Please don't give up on this...

[@PANIKO_LUCHA]

Don't think he is.... He is making these mainly for the arabs and remakes it with English.... And in Arabic it gets way more views.... Its impressive for a documentary channel who is only about 1 year old

[@fareskameli1590]

The best documentary about Arsenal Finally something that reminds me of the good old memories. Today the ball is blown with money, not with soul 😭 Ronaldinho. Zidane. Henry. Bergkamp. Denelson. Dalglish. Kaka. Gerard . Ronaldo. . Ronaldo. We miss them 😭😭Thank you for the good memories and thank you Balloon for reminding me of these memories 😩😫😖😞

Great documentary. I hope those who wanted him out realise what he done for this club, then you add in the loan payments, the latter stage of his time at Arsenal needs more recognition. Legend

As a baby my parents moved from Manchester to London in fact Chelshit but he loved the way Arsenal played and from my first game I was only 2 years old I have the Arsenal blood flowing through my veins for 54years now. I’ve traveled all over the world and I’ve always found a radio or tv just to catch the commentary. Arsenal for life.

After watching this again, it brought bavk memories. I cried that night we lost to Barca in Paris. The next day, my eyes were still sore. I can sacrifice a lot to see Arsenal win the UCL. It's going to really be a dream come true.

[@priyesh0071]

Wow! M blown away with the depth of ur research and such well documented along with newspapers articles, as I dint had much idea about the 90's of Arsenal football club, this certainly helped me alot.. What a lovely video, the pauses in between and the introduction, dam goosebumps! It's like a fantastic, well crafted Suspense/Thriller Movie! ❤️

[@slowtalker8583]

Professor Wenger. He was truly one of a kind. The football played during Wenger’s tenure was beautiful. Hopefully we can get back to the glory days. Once a gooner, always a gooner.

[@DavidLucian]

Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️

[@setornamrabinakorli6051]

By far my favorite football channel! Amazing videos, can't wait to see your video on Mourinho's first season in England.

I was going to be critical as Arsenal under Graham were not boring and then as soon as you touched on the 91/92 European Cup season I knew you'd done your research. That Benfica loss shaped and changed Graham's mindset.

I'm a Manchester United fan, but I respect Arsenal as a club. They'd have won a UCL title if not for corrupt Barcelona.
