News coverage of Arsenals famous victory at Anfield 1989

Anfield 89

[@livelearnandteach7402]

I look at the Arsenal of today (2021) and I can see we've lost something. 26th May 1989 was a magical day. Football was better back then.

[@bigbadbill0071]

what amazing history arsenal have. winning titles at anfield, old trafford and white hart lane (twice). have they done it any other rivals grounds?

[@AFCGuildford]

big bad one Yes...Stamford Bridge

[@bigbadbill0071]

***** that when chelsea never mattered like haha

[@rohithraman6488]

@@bigbadbill0071 Let's be honest when Arsenal won the League at WHL in 2004 Spurs didn't really matter in comparison to now 😂

[@45ginola]

@@rohithraman6488 they still don’t matter. What have they won since 2008? Nothing. Arsenal in their worst 10 years from 2011-2021 won four fa cups. Levels.

The Greatest night in Arsenal's history and totally deserved superb up the Gunners

[@eddielasowsky7777]

OF course it wasn't deserved you twat, Smith scored a goal that should have been disallowed. Smells like George had other brown envelopes.

[@CR19917]

@@eddielasowsky7777 🤣 Jesus the bitterness is something else - there was absolutely nothing wrong with that goal. The Liverpool players claimed Smith never touched the ball as you can't score directly from an indirect free kick but here you are saying "Smith's goal should have been disallowed" 🤦‍♂️wouldn't have been "Smith's goal" if it should have been disallowed would it? Although no surprise the Liverpool fan from Sussex knows fuck all about football🤡🤡

[@eddielasowsky7777]

@@CR19917 It was a 'mistake' by the ref. Shouldn't be surprised, your manager had form for that kind of thing.

[@CR19917]

@@eddielasowsky7777 What was the "mistake" so? Smith got a touch - clear as day. Get over it.

[@eddielasowsky7777]

@@CR19917 He didn't, hope that helps

[@eddiepower3876]

First they say "The league cup" goes to highbury when it was the league title then they say Arsenal won it on goal difference when it was goals scored then they say "after one of the closest finishes in years" when it was the closest finish of all time! - its no wonder Sky took over!!

[@Jack_The_Ladd]

Eddie Power BBC have always been fucking clueless when it comes to football.

[@Spectrescup]

@@Jack_The_Ladd lol at the man who calls the BBC clueless when he's watching ITN.

[@BuffaloZx]

It’s better when they don’t dramatise everything no?

[@caitlinchampion796]

Old Arsenal badge was amazing

[@retronostalgic]

Do you prefer the old badge like I do?

[@fredrick1137]

Much better than that shite we have now. That crest had class. This new thing looks tacky and cheap, oh and the cannon is pointing the wrong way......lame

[@rohithraman6488]

@@fredrick1137 I'm not an arsenal fan and personally I like the old arsenal badge but I don't have a problem with the new one, for me I wasn't a big fan of the medieval writing, you can have a different opinion though

[@stevomaguire5001]

i will never forget that night or that feeling. still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and sends shivers down my spine wat a night COYGS!!!!!!😍😍

[@retronostalgic]

Michael Thomas has to go down as a hero in Arsenal's history

[@williamjohnston7591]

Never forget it, Best fan's in the world. 🙏❤️

[@marksims68]

I was there that night, and I've only just noticed too that Michael Thomas's first effort and the goal are on the same spot! Have a look!

ITS UP FOR GRABS NOW!!!!

[@awkwardsquadproject]

What a night :-)

[@forgive7449]

the four seasons

[@CYP0]

George Graham was a great manager for Arsenal. Second only to Arsène Wenger.

[@nikreece6295]

its so strange to see lTN news reporting on liverpool's last minute title defeat to arsenal, and then reporting on the hillsborough disaster only minutes later... these two combined...was for me the start of liverpool's decline

[@Chrisruleshughes]

man, this is a big piece of history, with the new on hillsborough aswell..

[@vicmel30]

Who is that muppet newsreader- "so the League Cup goes to Highbury"? It's the League CHAMPIONSHIP they won, the League CUP is a totally different trophy (Arsenal won that in 1987 not 89). Never tire of hearing "It's up for grabs now-Thomas.. right at the end....... AFC FOREVER

[@ebakindeji5941]

Sandy gall.

[@ConnorEssex1046]

and the news reporter (Mark Austin) looks like Fernando Llorente! 2:25

[@gregconway736]

Bit bizarre that Michael Thomas ended up joining Liverpool.

[@texaspete66]

96 fans actually, nice touch by the arsenal with the flowers, fair play

[@joellivesley7054]

Memphis Flash it was 95 at the time, another fan died later on

[@stephenbrown1867]

Tony Bland, the 96th victim did not die until 1993.

[@tonelemoan]

I was there :)

[@Mjwara]

Better than City's 2012 win.

[@andreamanning1257]

Much better!!!

[@edc1851]

I'm confused police chief super intendant in 1989 said he lied wasn't the fans fault and a Lord in the first investigation also said it wasn't the fans... why'd it take another 30 long hard years of campaigning and enquiries for the fans to get the truth that everyone already knew... this how bad the cover up was smh justice for the 97

[@fiachra4266]

probably so no one who could be tried would be around still

[@payneqq]

Liverpool are "the side that everyone try's to emulate"... How times have changed!!

[@scatmandanl25]

How times have changed indeed.... Liverpool right back on their perch. Watch and admire mate. CHAMPIONS

[@fiachra4266]

and now its the Oilers again

[@achern141]

why is sir alex ferguson presenting the news LOL

[@hajzerkadriu8469]

hahah i thought the same

[@rohithraman6488]

Because he was overjoyed that LFC didn't win the league

95.....
