Honestly these years of football will always have a magical place in my heart

[@Nightopian1982]

I don't care what people say, these days of United v Arsenal games were far more exciting than the present ones. Even though Arsenal won on Sunday, the standard from both teams was pretty average. It wasn't a great game compared to the late 90s/early to mid 00s.

[@oisin5684]

Fabregas was absolutely frightening in his young days. People forget just how sensational he really was. My Favourite Player of All Time: ●He 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 😲. ●Only he and Evan Ferguson have 10+ goals/assists to there names as 18 year olds in the Premier League era. 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. ●Made captain of Arsenal at the tender age of 21 as well. He was absolute magic.

[@coennman]

Hleb was such an underrated baller man... Hate how Barcelona took him off our hands and proceeded to ruin him.

[@oisin5684]

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. 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.

[@alaooooy7]

Wenger had us top of the table at the beginning of many campaigns and went far in some until injuries and lack of squad depth hit us on much less money than opponents! He was never the problem. Always one of the greatest managers ever but the Kroenke devils killed Arsenal.

True

[@royalroyal2210]

Before 2010s it may be true, but not after 2010s.. especially with baffling choices like Mustafi and Chaka which cost 30+ mils when at that time there were much better options for that prices

[@alaooooy7]

@@royalroyal2210 This is not FIFA. You don't know how high a player's rating will be before signing him and you don't get to sign anyone you want. Also Gazidis pushed for Mustafi as they started taking power away from Wenger. We don't know the full details backstage of every signing and what option was possible and what wasn't and pointing out to two signings that you think are bad doesn't refute what I said!

[@MarcelloAFC1992]

This was without a doubt the most anticipated game of the season that Arsl vs ManU played for at least 13 years in PL the rivalry with blood in the eyes... Sometimes I miss this hegemony but on the other hand the other teams growing only left the even more competitive league where at least 6 teams can win at any one time and not just two as it was until the early 2000s.

I always remember this game as being such a great game, despite not remembering anything about it. When I clicked this video i thought “it’s the 2-2 game right?” And that’s all I remembered. But I just have this memory of watching it at a friends house the morning after a sleepover, I didn’t have Sky do it was rare I would get to watch the matches. I’m not a United or Arsenal fan and just remember being so engrossed. Great game.

[@Jokers_43]

Two top, top sides all over the park. Also another top park -Ji Sung Park - underrated imo. Hleb pulling the strings in the middle, pure class that Belarusian. Rooney the GOAT! Vidic absolute volatile character. Howard webb secret utd fan. Best era of football 👌

[@oisin5684]

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 intricate & incisive interchanges and build up play in the final third was utterly breathtaking. That was by far my favourite time being an Arsenal supporter in terms of the style of football 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 😔.

It's deadly. I was intending on going on a searching spree for archive footage of the club from the mid to late 2000's and this 07/08 season in particular but came across this channel and now have it all served to me on a silver platter. Miss this time as an Arsenal supporter.

Hleb denied a clear penalty, and a clear foul just before the run up to the first Man U goal. Thank god for VAR. It can never be this blatant again.

[@AB-gb6zz]

Unfortunately it still is this blatant. Arsenal denied about 10+ penalties last season. man utd should have given away 8 or more extra penalties that were hushed up, as well as 6 red cards throughout the season. Is it any surprise when you consider the money involved and the fact that riley was still head of the pgmol last season, not to mention "Sir" alex - we have seen how corrupt and dirty royals and aristocracy are. Unluckily for us mike riley is now head of var...
