Great 👍 interview!
He is one of the greatest managers in the 21st century!
Same
Big love for the boss ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for doing the interview Ian - a pleasure to work with you as always!
Legends both of you ❤️
Legend !
You should of commented the day the vid dropped aha, you’d have the most liked comment, great vid though Ian your always great in everything I see you in.
Big love to the both of you ♥️♥️
In my childhood I always thought that Arsenal was named after Arsene Wenger
It was 😉
Same here 😅
Same here! 😁
Same bro or that Arsenal had to name him arsene 🤣🤣🤣
Same
As a Sunderland fan, I can’t believe how many Arsenal fans turned against Wenger as time went on. The man was pure class and did a great job keeping them in the Champions League during the stadium move. The 03-04 season was the first season I properly paid attention to football and the invincibles helped me fall in love with football
I’m a 20 year old Arsenal fan, and I absolutely agree with The fact that Wenger is one of the greatest managers ever do it. He revolutionise the game and he is the man that brought Arsenal to the heights that It reached. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Wenger. Furthermore, I agree that the fact that he took us to the Champions League places despite the teams he had his remarkable.
But last few seasons Arsenal was slightly declining under Wenger. As certain teams got better and spent more and updated the tactics we kind of fell behind and a large portion of his fans including myself thought that he took this club as far as he could and that it was time for a change. But I did not agree with him being abused verbally out of the job by certain fans but that’s how it goes unfortunately, football fans get frustrated and they say words that they don’t mean.
But no matter what managers we have in the future and the matter how successful they make us they will never be another Arsene Wenger. He needs his statue.
Your opinion does not count as a Sunderland fan. You mackem, we tackem
And I also want to make it clear that Arsenals decline was just on Wenger. So many things (owners) worked against him.
But the fact that he got us Champions league places as much as he did is remarkable.
Agree. I properly started undestanding and loving the game watching Arsenal right after Henrys departure. along with the 08-09 barcelona squad i couldnt get football off my mind. know one couldnt tell me its not the greatest sport in the world.
What the hell is happening at Sunderland anyway? They are a big club with a great stadium and great support, and yet they're languishing down the divisions for years on end. Why? They should at the very least be one of the teams that has a few years in the Premiership and maybe goes down to the Championship occasionally, only to soon come back up again. They are surely the equal of the likes of Norwich or Fulham or, my team, Stoke City. Just wondering.
His ability to recall every detail of games which took place 20+ years ago is outstanding. He truly lived and breathed what he did!
Arsene was the reason I became an Arsenal fan. Not the invincibles, not the trophies (I came later), but Arsene. What class of a man. Any Arsenal fan that disrespects him is a a spoiled brat in my eyes.
Agreed. Such a classy guy
Same here
I was a fan before he joined, but it was because of him that I came to love the club. I’ve lost a bit of interest since he left.
@@summerrr1 same, but Arteta has given me quite a boost)
@@JellyDonat a boost of no European football and our worst finish since moving to the Emirates??
Can we appreciate how professional Arsène is?
He rocked up wearing a full suit at a TH-cam level interview
French people
@@ben.futureprimitive Nah, nothing to do with that mate
French people aren't classy as they seem to be
Wenger probably wears a suit as his pyjamas
Was kinda hoping he’d wear that iconic long blue coat. Remember when Rihanna was clocked wearing a similar coat coming out a hotel in the morning people were like ‘Wenger hittin that’ 😂
Looks like its covered in dandruff. Hardly professional. Probably part of a media day.
How amazing is Arsene Wenger’s memory. He can literally talk about any of his players and list their whole history! That’s how committed he is! Wow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That's what got me. How easily he remembers the tiniest details from years ago. I'm more than half his age and my memory is shite 🤣
He was more than a manager, he was also a father to all
Yaah and their price tags wow 🔥🔥
And he's 72.
He's a fantastic person
I don't think the question about Kane was scripted and Wenger remembered that Kane was 9 years old at the Academy and left at 11. Unless that's the regular ages that kids move through the Academy, that's a crazy thing to know on the spot.
This man just exudes class.
He introduced sports science to to english football
Man turned down real Madrid Juventus psg England France job and stayed loyal to arsenal what a legend
The fact that Ian Wright still calls Arsene Wenger 'Boss' shows how much influence he had during his time and how big of an impact he made. Respect from a Liverpool fan
Respect back to liverpool from an arsenal fan ❤
He’s just copying Gary Neville from his interview with Ferguson
So forced
What do you expect him calling arsene dude?
Once a boss, always a boss!
love how Ian calls him BOSS, can see how much he respects his old boss
It's because he doesn't listen to Bruce Springsteen.
We should always call him boss..
I was going to make the same comment. No need anymore. But yeah, it sounds so sweet, respectful and real.
Everyone manager Wriighty has had, he refers to all of them as Boss or Gaffer. Wright is just old school
@@isaacjacobs3785 Not Bruce Rioch!
I am a United fan and I want to thank Arsenal and Wenger for the most memorable rivalry in the 90s. Out of the hatred back in those days, all I have now is respect for everybody, heck even Keown. Thank you Arsenal and Wenger for the memory.
Yeah, same here bro
The feeling is very mutual. From an Arsenal fan.
Same now with Roy Keane for me 🤣 (not Van nistelrooy though 🫣)
@@manuel_winde Never van Nistelrooy. But yeah, time goes on, so much water under the bridge now - I used to HATE United. I could still name most of their 11s through the 90s. They even had a devil on their badge - what greater symbol of evil. Now - you look back at how good it was. How good both teams were, and how well they were run. What a manager Ferguson was - incredible, frankly.. the best.. Miss that rivalry. Miss those big games. Tides turn though and there's a lot to look forward to. Come on you Arsenal!
yeah..me too missed the old rivalry keano & viera time
Even with a team having likes of squillaci, chamak, santos.. All sort of underperformers in main team Arsene managed a 4th place assurance. Such a legend.
To be fair he bought those guys in
@@joeedward-few6040 yeah for sure he'd bought them, with limited piggybank only those are whom he could have bought. We've seen hazard, kante, and many likes slip off after initial grasp.
And Djourou, Bendtner, Yaya Sanogo
Damn. Arsenal had so many duds and some very injury prone first teamers like Wheelchair, Rosicknote, Diaby, Van Persie and still be managed at least 4th somehow.
@@dragonbane44 yeah i even doubt diaby was inspiration for samuel l Jackson charachter in movie unbreakable. At least RVP and Rosicky are class stuffs he had in his limited warchest.
@@dinesh666ramdas such a shame about Diaby though. He definitely had the potential to be better than even Vieira. Imagine a Vieira+ running box to box, dictating the midfield like a boss. Thats what Diaby was capable of.
Absolutely hate that Sunderland defender for breaking his ankles and robbing us.
Wenger made Arsenal a formidable force and he's one of the best managers in Prem history. From a United fan
ohhh the battles.... great times.... United vs Arsenal...... it was all out war..... now i have nothing but respect for that MU side and fergie... back then i felt a little different LOL... great times
The most disrespected man in football
no one cares ur a united fan
He made them a formidable force for about 3 seasons and then whipping boys from them on
Same man
the epitomy of class, what a man Arsene Wenger is
Epitome
600
Remember the time when, Pixie, now coach of Serbia national team said that he is the Best coach in the Word? They where in Japan at that time. I wonder wtf he is speaking for this anonimus?
That's mad I identify as a homeless penguin 🤣
Funny as such a highly rated coach he's still underrated and under appreciated. He changed the whole global football scene, with the diets, the technology, the sleeping regimes etc. Plus, his style of football. Legend.
He ain't underrated though.
@@laishtondonba162 in my opinion he's not as valued as he should be.
It's probably because of the trophy drought arsenal had. I'll admit around 2013ish I was looking around the rest of the premier League thinking "why won't Wenger spend some money?". I regret it now but I was young at the time.
@@danjackson1016 …and it just goes to show how good he’s been as a manager, to keep the team afloat with whack players such as Sanogo and Bendtner to make sure that the club had the money to have the stadium project completed, out of pocket! He took a lot of flack on behalf of management because he clearly wasn’t the (only) one to decide on what should be done with the money! I’m sure if he was a manager with no vision he would have demanded money like the current crop of managers, just to buy players ready to win stuff outright, which honestly if you look at Man U and Barça now, you realize that these things are unsustainable! Man U spent over a Billion pounds on players, they’re getting worse and their stadium needs a lot of work!!!
@@vuyaninhlanzizibashise892 I know that now of course. Back then I was around 13 though and I didn't know how football worked behind the scenes. To be honest this season I'm looking at what Arteta has done and thinking he's trying to pick up where Wenger left off.
I could listen to him talk football all day.
Absolute legend.
Class.
Spurs fan.
Class comment. Fair play mate
Sir Alex better 😂
@@adamdanish2430 as a United fan, now is not the time mate. Appreciate class when you see it.
Wrighty still calling Arsene, 'boss', shows how much reverence he holds for him, absolutely wonderful to see and hear. Arsene deserves nothing less than the respect he garners. Truly an inspiring individual, that oozes class.
Poetic bullshit
Not really I call the shopkeeper boss
Every player calls their former managers boss , gaffer etc. Nothing special here
You’re deconstructing one commonly used word into a paragraph about respect like it’s a fucking English exam. It’s just a nickname
Did you expect him to call him dude?
The Kante story is crazy! It just goes to show how difficult it can be to get signed and even world class players get overlooked. I think at some point, everyone needs to be in the right place at the right time.
As a chelsea fan, if i ever meet that club director ill buy him a pint, no hesitation 😂
That's true. Imagine if Ronaldinho accepted United in 2003, will Cristiano became Arsenal legend or a failure?? Nobody will ever know
@@mubienkvape Ik for a FACT that Ronaldinho will fail in United. He's got disciplinary problems, which is something SAF despise so much. Though it could change since Ronaldo was not a mature player much himself till SAF and boys like Giggs and Scholes literally had to bully him in the dressing room to make him live a healthier lifestyle. Ronaldo to Arsenal however, none would know. Would Wenger let him play the way he wants, or have him play lots of passes, just like the way Wenger wants. But yet again, Wenger always says things about letting players play with freedom, Ronaldo might have been the perfect piece to Arsenal winning the UCL in 2006.
Yep. The fastest person in the world is only the fastest person we *know* about.
@@mrplut0 well, he didn't seem to have disciplinary problems during seasons 2004-2007, you know those seasons when he was by MILES the best on the planet :D:D but yes, after his Barcelona glory days, it all went down-hill...... but every genius has "crazy mind" I guess...... that's how they differ from most of us
Class act. As a Chelsea fan, look back with great admiration and even fondness for the way Arsene and Arsenal went about the game. Made football beautiful.
Rivals or not. At the end of the day, we all just want to enjoy the beautiful game as is. Rivalries is just there for the fans to have things to banter about.
These are the role models we should revere. Class, passion, sportsmanship and intelligence.
I’m a Gooner and the clowns that booed this esteemed club legend DID NOT speak for all of us. Thank you Le Prof
absolute clowns they are.
Majority of Emirates attendees then
Aftv
Bruv you remember the results right?
@@googleuser3361 shut up
Forget how it ended. The professional sacrifice that Arsene gave to enable the stadium move and see the club through the period of financial balance deserves a statue. What this man has done for English football will never be fully recognised
Yeah, and even so, having a stadium the size of the Emirates will only fit that much better when we are back on the top of world football.
They’d be better than where they are now with him still at the helm
It ended with overachievement vs wage bill. 3 FA cups in last five years and only 1 season outside of champs league is overachieving for the 5th highest wage bill
Didn't he end it with the FA Cup tho? If I'm remembering correctly which made Arsenal the leaders in FA Cup wins at the time? For the shit he had to put up with that's a good send off just unfortunately people and sky etc been disrespecting the FA Cup over the last decade or so.
It ended with toxic fans forcing out the greatest contributor the club we love ever had
Arsene, Sir Alex and Jose were the 3 most influential managers in EPL. These 3 created the excitement, the tension and beauty of the modern game.
Arsene was pivotal in getting that new Highbury Stadium, something that Arsenal desperately needed. I call Arsene a Professor of football
Couldn’t agree more! The 3 big legends.
Not Pep not Klopp.
He is the professor
@@shahzadiraniWell Pep hasn’t been in the Prem that long compared to those three. Of course when talking just about the Prem it is Arsene and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Arsene Wenger has commented football matches on French TV and I loved listening to him because he talked only football. He explained what was going on on the pitch like a coach, a strategist, a teacher. It gave us to see the game in a completely different angle only football professionals can see, even people who didn't understand anything to football, everything became clear, he opened our perspectives and it was simply very interesting to listen. Made the game more interesting to watch.
Unfortunately he didn't stay long but Lizarazu eventually took over and he has the same approach. Except that he explains from a football academy coach's perspective, not the big club's coach perspective. Which is also very interesting because he talks more about the football basics.
As a little boy, I remember liking Arsenal because of the canon. As I grew older Ian Wright was the main reason I fell deeply in love with Gunners. It has lasted over 40 years and will remain until its my time to sleep forever. Wenger made Arsenal immortals, merci boss.
Chelsea fan here. I love Arsene Wenger. An exceptional personality and a true legend of the game.
Unfortunate you feel the need to validate your opinion by stating you're a Chelsea fan.
As if you didn't. People would accuse you of being a delusional Arsenal fan. No one can dispute any of your points. Regardless of allegiance.
I’m a Chelsea fan too and I agree with you totally.
That whole: ‘World Cup every two years’ thing though… no. Yuck!
He doesn't need your love, rent boy
Desk fan here, that's big of you to say
Arsenal fan here, I hate Chelsea. An exceptional Sunderland fc with Russian moneybags what a legendary tosser of the league smh
I can listen to Arsene Wenger talk for hours. A deeply insightful and gentle man.
And a compulsive liar, yes.
@@patchh15 k Patrick
Humility, kindness, brilliance and undoubtedly one of the most undisputed characters in football management of this era.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love the mention of gilberto, when I heard we were buying him after the world Cup, he was my designated favourite player for life, so true from Arsene aswell, he's always been a forgotten player of the past but so instrumental in that team, couldn't survive that season without him, what a player!
The invisible wall
"be audacious, be ambitious, your life can be wilder then your wildest dream" arsene.
He's my biggest hero.
That story about Kante is fascinating. Nobody wanted Ngolo Kante?! Wow. Kante's footballing story is really remarkable.
because at that point he was a DM who was 5'7, soft spoken and had no outstanding technical skills
I wonder how Kante appreciates that person who used to take him to clubs to sign him, and how does that person feels when he sees the success Kante reached. From no one wants you to wining world cup and premiere league.
@@aladdinhassan1287...and Champions League.
@@aladdinhassan1287 kante and mahrez were picked up by the same scout at leicester, David Mills.
there are many similar stories to this in football and it really highlights the fact that one of the best pieces of advice you could give a young player is to not listen to negative opinions and keep trying. they are opinions at the end of the day and are often wrong.
And you see the big respect Ian Wright has for arsene . Nice to see
Wenger highlighting that there is talent all over the world that don’t get the same opportunity is gold. He’s a great human being.
I'm glad Arsene mentioned Olivier Giroud as an underrated footballer, many fans give him shit for his goal drought, but realised too late when he was gone, we missed his presence and played one the best football the club has ever seen. Criminally underrated.
nah he was bang average when you've had wrighty anelka henry rvp adebayor you don't just look at giroud with respect
@@ThaEzioAuditore It's relative. Wenger thought bringing in Lacazette would be an improvement on Giroud and he clearly wasn't. If anything he was a downgrade
Giroud is one of the most underrated footballers of all time.
@@ThaEzioAuditore Bang average??? Guess you never was at the games he made a difference and scored those goals when there was moments when we was not going to win. Derby match comes to mind, The team goal with Santi, Jack ect. Only plastic fans would think Giroud was "bang average"
Good striker nets at least 20 goals per season. Check stats of Giroud?
Arsene Wenger is a professor of football ,as a Utd fan I have nothing but respect for this man . His ability to work with people from all walks of life was magic.
Bravo sir.
Yeah, Arsene for Man Utd
if we didnt have fergie, wenger would have reigned supreme aloooooooot of years EDIT typo
He's a cheat
@@voetbal12 who’s a cheat and why please ?
Two absolute Arsenal legends.
This interview really cheered me up, during a very difficult time for me.
Arsenal Wenger was on the receiving end of a lot of grief towards the end of his time as the manager of our club and maybe some of it was justified, as he himself said that he stayed too long at the end of his career..
However, we won the double twice, were invincible once and reached the Champions League final once thanks to him.
Arsenal fans treated him like absolute shit at the end. Shameful.
This man is like a father to me when i hear him speak i got filled with lovely memories and some bad ones
He really has that Dad aura, firm but caring .. you can see Ian still feels like he is playing under him
Love that Ian still calls him The Boss when speaking about him and Boss when speaking to him. That's a measure of respect, that has been earnt, I can get behind. Great vid.
He still calls Glen Hoddle Gaffer
every footballer will call their old manager boss/gaffer
It's because he doesn't listen to Bruce Springsteen.
We should all call him boss. He is a gooner forever!
True. And you could see Ian's face at times, the emotions were going to burst open
I’m a Man Utd fan but I have the upmost respect for Arsene wenger, the rivalry between Alex and him will stay with me forever.
Good times, real battles !
Those kinds of rivalries don't exist anymore.
They still respected eachother no passion like that anymore
Best managerial Prem rivalry i ever witnessed in my lifetime!
Exactly. If Ferguson ever left Man United in those days, Wenger would be the instant choice I'd have to replace him. In fact, Arsenal often played more attractive football than Man United did, it's just the results/trophies between them both didn't reflect that.
Iv been an Arsenal fan since 96. Iv seen this interview about 5 times now. Still gives me Goosebumps especially hearing Wrighty still calling Arsène boss! A big legend of the club and the real father of the club.!! THANK YOU ARSÈNE 🙌🏼👏🏼. Managers will come and go but we’ll always be Arsène Wenger’s red and white army!! 🔴⚪️
I regret what I said at the end of his Arsenal career. It was passion fueled, and I still believe this man is one of the best ever
I don’t know what you said, but if it was that he should go - glad you regret it.
He needed to go and should have gone a bit sooner but we still love, respect and admire him. The connection with the fans and the club now is better than it’s ever been at the new stadium.
I’m not going to add to the likes, cos 49 is just perfect. If you know, you know. 😉
as a Liverpool fan, this was worth my 20 minutes, what a legend💯
Same ! Brilliant interview !
@@lukeyg6573 SAME
Such a shame the fans turned against him, he was devoted to that club 100% .
The boss for real. Whole defence for less than 5million. That was the invincibles defence.
And now there’s Man U who’s whole defence costs about £200M and can’t keep a clean sheet for their lives 😂
@@asianwarrior2193 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5 million back then is the equivalent of 567.35 million today
@@wespicedmemes more like 8 million today
@@wespicedmemes are you ok
Arsene Wenger gave his absolute everything for Arsenal Football Club.
I could listen to Wenger reminiscing about his football and Career Past for 5 hrs, what a legend
Listening to him speak makes me so calm
I love how Arsene mentions Gilberto Silva, criminally underrated player.
Xhaka is the player arsenal hope to be Gilberto Silva. He usually has the most passes and touches in a match.
Fabinho is Gilbert Silva regen
@@kyoukaiten3834 you must be kidding me to compare gilberto silva with xhaka. Xhaka has no flow in his game, slow the game too much. Sure, his shooting technique is fantastic but that’s about it. There is not intensity in the pass when he touch.
If you pay attention to the body language, you can see there's a tremendous amount of respect between these two. Not only that, Ian still calling Arsene "boss" is simply so heartwarming and wholesome. So lovely.
That's exactly why modern football is a circus. Players nowadays lost all respect to their peers, superiors and most of all to the fans. When you see 18 year old millionnaires threatening clubs and coaches and acting like drama queens, just because they had a couple of good seasons and have a couple million followers on social media. While at the time established legends would kill on the pitch just to earn the respect of the coach,of the fans. they played for the club, they fought for the club and they bled for the club. Look at United under Sir Alex, no player was above the club, Prime Beckham still has the scars to show for it. Now look at Pogba, almost at the end of his career, yearly episodes of drama, and despite all his skill, still no achievement
@@HMalem After watching “an audience with Arsene & David Dein”.it was interesting to see the former players calling him ‘boss’. He was a one off.
😂😂
This man brings a smile to my face effortlessly, such a true gentleman and all round legend of the game.
The hallmark of Arsenal football club. I grew up watching Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal and I learnt so much from Arsene. It’s almost impossible to replicate the man. An epitome of class, humility, and kindness, despite having conquered football for a decade. That’s something. I’m always humbled to see how he manages to never get himself in a sticky situation and is able manage any sort of scenario with absolute grace.
I’ve loved the man and I genuinely miss him. Extraordinary human.
I love how Arsene has lived in London for the best part of 2 decades and still has the most outrageous thick French accent 🤣
I have rarely seen a French guy lose his accent.
Hahah good spot on that😅
It is an odd thing. I'm a Scotsman but I have lived in Germany for eleven years and when I speak German, I can't hear my accent. Sometimes people will parrot things that I say back to me but I don't hear it as I talk.
Im a Spurs fan but there is something about Arsene that i always respected and still respect to this day. What a great manager and person. Pure class.
Same as a Spurs fan. He changed the nature of the game when he arrived. Arsenal fans did him dirty at the end. I think he could have achieved more for them if he hadn't been so limited financially.
The class and integrity of Arsene. What a great man!
“Boss”. So much respect and rightly deserved. Both are great characters.
I'm a Liverpool fan, and remember feeling very jealous of the way arsenal played. This guy is a legend. If you take into account the success on the field with limited funds, his influence in modernising the English game and also how he grew Arsenal as a club in terms of reputation and the stadium, there's an argument for him being the best Premier League manager ever.
SAF continues to sip his coffee
Best, no. Top three, yes. I think SAF and Guardiola definitely beat him to it. Wenger is a class act though and so professional. From a city fan, always loved Arsene
Another Liverpool fan here mad respect to Arsene and SAF! They have shaped the modern English footfall.
and now the tables have turned lol. You Liverpool fans have waited long enough, its now your time to shine.
P.S. leave some shining space for us as well ty
@@SC-lo4mp
Guardiola doesn't come anywhere close to Alex or Arsene.
Shame for the younger Arsenal fans as can't understand how ridiculously good that Invincibles team was, it was frightening. Every game it would be like 'ok how many they going to win by today?' and Thierry Henry is never going to be bettered in the Prem League, he was unbelievable.
Not just the invincibles, that 08 team was also incredibly underrated. That year imo we played our best football, but unfortunately we didn’t win any silverware, so it isn’t talked about enough.
@@ayr.3702 Agreed mate. At least you were around for the good times! Arsenal was scary during the noughties.
Ronaldo plays softball I guess
@@ayr.3702 someone got injured right, who was it?
@@cutecatshorts3464 Eduardo, he was in the form of his life at the time.
Wenger was right about Giroud.... Even when he was Chelsea he was massively underrated after costa ans Drogba he was the most consistent striker despite not playing regularly.... And when they finally played him in Europa regularly he was their top scorers and I feel he was more appreciated in Chelsea by the fans than Arsenal
He had the best playmaker in Europe feeding him and the rest of the team the most perfect plays. He was a donkey at the worst time and blossomed into a wicked powerful striker.
Ozil fed him enough at Arsenal too.. He wasn't just consistent
Look at France and the World Cup
It’s touching to hear him speak so fondly of the club, players and “values”. Also to turn Ian Wrights self-deprication of his “permanent aggression” into something to be seen as a “quality”. While it pains me and others to think of how fickle fans were in his final seasons at Arsenal he is undoubtedly above it all. An inspiring human.
The way he talks about his past players is with alot of love. Even the way he dealt with each of them. The fact that he remembers their stories. Recognising their potential when others perhaps didn’t. Proper grandfather of modern football. Top man
Love that Ian calls arsene “Boss”. Respect is timeless
Everyone who played under Wenger call him "boss" till this day
It’d be awkward if he didn’t
I think it's stupid 😂
Love how he says it was a bit hard for him to walk away, bit of an understatement. Best manager ever.
You can criticise his tenure towards the end but the way he still speaks about Arsenal is so classy. The main reason why I fell in love with this club.
And when people criticise his tenure at the end I hope they remember that his worst period was still better than the two managers that immediately followed.
@@photon-9551 if they do crtiticise his end they they really were spoiled little brats.Like the boss once said when you're used to eating caviar it's hard to change to sausages but at least try to understand the landscape of football during his last few years at the club and they didn't.
@@photon-9551 love arsene but that’s such a stupid point. The following two managers had to takeover the club in a massive rebuilding job with a whole new direction, new tactics new philosophy and had to help them adjust in a post-wenger era which was very very difficult.
He's a legend
Arsenal.fans became impatient with him
But if they had just been humble and relied om him to get them closer to where they want to be.. the game would be changed
The way Arsene said Gilberto Siva most underrated player he managed. The invisible wall. Him and PV4 were the best mids we've seen and will ever see. Can't be replaced
Did u just call Vieira PV4? 🤣
I can listen to Arsene the whole day. Great person. Great Manager. One of the best things to have happened to Arsenal
Ian Wright is the reason I started supporting arsenal.
Not long after Wenger arrived and I feel in love with arsenal
Thanks for the years of fun!!
Love to you both football legends ⚽⚽
This man kept Arsenal in the top 4 despite their limited funding post the stadium build. The Emirates should be renamed to the Arsene Wenger stadium because he made it possible.
Yeah agree. I’d love to see the day when clubs stop brassing themselves off to big companies for money- just so we can pay for players to have 12 Ferraris.
I wish
Wenger would win more like 2,3 PLs if he was financially supported by the board. Almost won his 4th in the 07/08 season but Eduardo's injury affected the team a lot and we started dropping points and lose the 1st postion to Man United. The 15/16 season too, we missed that when key players were injured in important events
Also if it wasn’t for Chelsea and cities crazy oil money injections we could’ve won more titles too poor Arsene couldn’t compete
Not to mention Giroud forgot how to score a goal for like 15 consecutive premier league games or so
You would of never of won the league anyway in 07/08.
I think Man U and Chelsea were a bit better than Arsenal in 2008 but of course they both went all the way to the CL final so it was a great opportunity for Arsenal to go for the league. Only finished 4 pts off in the end, and towards the end of the season as you say they missed a couple of players and won only 1 out of 8 games between February and April.
@@solbf2509 we were 12 points clear at one stage. Then Eduardo’s leg got snapped in half and we completely collapsed.
I have a big respect to him, regardless I'm an United fan. He and Sir Alex were legends that made me fall in love with Premier League.
He made Arsenal play a great game, great personality and great career.
Well said
You can see the respect Ian has for Arsene, he calls him boss even after all this time. ❤
Arsène Wenger is a wonderful person and a legend of the game. I feel sorry for how it ended, I'm a Liverpool fan for over 46yrs, but as a football fan, his teams and his class will always be admired. Also, Ian Wright, my word did I want us to sign him!! He had the same 'street style' and LOVE of the game as my idol Robbie Fowler. Imagine them two up front, wow! Great video.
How old are you man?
Don’t feel sorry, Wenger got an incredible send off most managers could only dream of, he was far past his best and it showed in his last couple seasons. Feel sorry for Emery who the Arsenal “fans” abused after for finishing 2 points off 3rd, they’ve deserved what’s happened since.
Nice comment mate, as a Gooner I always felt the same way about Fowler. Mutual respect.
I will never forget Fowler telling the ref it wasnt a pen when seaman brought him down,early 90s l think....legend..
Arsene is one of a kind. He's one of the few figures that made football more virtous.
Arsene Wenger is a marvel, his still exhibits much respect to both his players and those of other clubs. He still has so much good memories. I love this man, he made me love Arsenal. Thank you Arsene.
The way Ian Wright (one of the best in Premier League history) interacts with Arsene and still calls him boss just shows how great and respected Arsene is! Not just as a manager but as a person. Just pure class!
This guy saved the Premier League, without him it would have been a one team league with United probably winning 10 titles in a row.
You forgot Blackburn rovers
And Jose Mourinho too.
@@dominicclarke7875 Blackburn won in ‘95 but United had completely pulled away from them after that until Arsene came
I’m a Spurs fan, but regard Wenger so highly. He changed the entire English game.
You are a real football fan mate 👏
I'm a Shrewsbury fan
As a united fan
Without Arsene our history would feel empty
Legend
It's so true, and vice versa. I loved the days when we had rivalry with United. Best Premier league era in my opinion.
@@dagrohl1979 and its back now
@@maxstappen1243 Hope so.
The greatest French since Poincare. An absolute living legend and one of the most committed, if not the most committed disciple of football.
This guy maintained top four, with at times a subpar team, whilst building a stadium and paying it back,
legend
People forget about the emirates, arsenal always been a club with little debt, wenger practically built that ground with his own hands
He’s a good businessman, getting all his defense players under 5 millions pound
Absolutely 💯
@@andyroberts3675 I heard he built the stadium alone
2 Arsenal Legends!
GOOOOOOOOOONERS!
COYGGGGG❤
Garuntee you wanted him out like all the rest of the fans
@@riley9577 trust me😭😭
@@riley9577 100% they all wanted him out .All this bollox about how fantastic he was .They seem to forgotten the booing ,the banners ,the hiring of planes to fly banners .
They ALL wanted him out . None of them were calling him a genius .
@@catomacro8325 it's football you muppet, everyone is entitled to criticism. He did great things but also made alot of errors, he's not perfect, and as fans we're entitled to voice our concerns, he was employed as a manager, he's not a God. Sooner or later his tenure would've come to an end, part of football, he was never going to be there forever. But over stayed as he ran out of ideas, and that's why fans voiced loudly, if you were an actual fan you understand this.
Goosebumps all over listening to the legendary Arsene Wenger
An absolute gent & how we miss him. His rivalry with Ferguson, two titans of management & the game make the competition better for all. Our league is poorer for not having them there. From a hammer
I could listen to him all day long, he truly is one of a kind, absolute legend.
I’ve always thought Arsenal was named after Arsene Wenger when I was younger. Anyone else?
I thought it was named after a large assortment of weaponry. An arsenal If you will
Me too😂 I thought he established the club
Me too
Same 😂😂
Me too 😂
Arsene Wenger is such a freaking legend ! Love this guy so much. Such an amazing job he did with absolute mediocre squads in the later stages of his career!
Gilberto Silva..Lauren..Edu...really great players that people forget....because they went about their business with no fuss or drama. Diamonds 💎
You know this man deserves to be "The Professor". He sees something, nobody can't.
As a Blackburn fan, I have incredible love and respect for Mr Wenger. I am so proud that he managed for so long in my country. He will be missed so much when he eventually leaves this world. He helped make the Premiership the sporting powerhouse that it is today.

Nice words 👊
@@simpletonsimon Thanks pal. I meant every word.
💯💯💯 thanks hope Blackburn get promoted one of the club's I grew up watching
@@josiahjames429 Thanks. I appreciate that.
A GREAT man! That Arsenal team he built had me so envious as a Liverpool fan. Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry omg. And the fact he secured them such a worldclass stadium is legendary! Lets see Guardiola accomplish such feats with a limited budget
Two people full of pure class and integrity.
They do not make them like this anymore. ❤️
As a Spurs fan, I have so much respect for this man and for what he did, and still doing for football.
As a Lego fan, I agree with you
As a extractor fan I agree.
@@chrisolagrim3597 as a desk fan i ageee
As a fan fan I agree
When Arsene speaks everybody listens. What a bloke 🤝👏🏻
He carries an incredible gravitas; I can listen to him for hours.
Someone send this video to ole
Oh man this hit me right in the feels. I miss you so much Arsene, it was the good old days.
Two club legends. What a brilliant interview. We love you Arsène! We love you, Ian!
I can watch these 2 legends talk for years
same here

Good man 🤝
You're the hero
My love for football gone after Arsene retired. I think he's one of the reason I loved football so much.
Same
Arsene always makes me smile, simply a great great manager, with great day's to remember because it was the best football I'd ever seen back then
He still remembers which all clubs toure and kante were rejected from even now and was able to recall the names so quickly ? It’s just amazing . Shows how much of a good memory and calm mind this guy has.
Thats because he is an encyclopedia of football.
@@Nostradanus86 he’s a fossil. He got exposed as soon as good managers joined the league
@@callumbrown2148 and these managers are 🤔 Jurgen & Pep is it ?
@@callumbrown2148 klopp came in 2015 when we finished 2nd... pep the following year... surprise surprise the same year Xhaka & Mustafi are signed & given 100+ games to destruct the club. Wengers was just stubborn in his ways in his last 7 to 10 years at the club.
Never mind Bergkamp and Henry, THIS MAN is why I love Arsenal.
The Stadium should bare his name after 2028.
NO QUESTIONS
My Manager. ❤️
I think its 2026
The more I see this man, the more I love and respect him! He will always be a part of my life.. Please come back to coaching Professor, please!
This man is a absolute legend.
Was a phenomenal manager.
