that time from 1997-2005, United vs Arsenal was the best rivalry ever....even more big than Barcelona vs Madrid....the fight between Keane vs Vieira are the best
Kicks and head butts between vieira and Keane, followed by stam grabbing vieira by the throat yet no red cards. God I miss the good old days.... Arsenal v Man U was the best rivalry in football history.
Yeah Ashley, soft red cards are spoiling the beautiful game... We got a bunch of actors now... And once a Red card has been issued it changes the complex of the game
@@PantherAS123 it was better back then. What we have now is a very sanitised version. Generally bad atmospheres at games, lots of tourists, people on their phones all game, players falling over and feigning injury, lack of real rivalry e.t.c e.t.c
keanw vs Vieira, no racism , no throwing dirt at each other’s name behind the camera. Just two passionate strong midfielders going head to head with brutal tackles and challenges like real man, immediately shakes it off and move on with the game without making a fuss. No hatred between the two just rivalry for the love of the games, love these two
you are right my friend, why did he need to say such a thing, is it because this friend is white and black, I wonder why racism issues come up when he becomes black, I don't understand why this is an insult to black people, I think even talking about it...😢
Classic Arsenal-United clash from the 90s. There was never a dull moment in those matches. A young Henry showing some great skills and Roy Keane showing what being captain of United was all about. We could do with someone like him today as Arsenal could do with another Viera.
I love watching these old United games. The 4 4 2 is so simple yet so effective, it's triangles and overlaps with pace on the ball and lots of forward runs
In late 90s 442 using 2 striker role number 9, in 2000s using 2 striker 1 as number 9 1 as number 10. Nowadays the number 10 usually not striker anymore but AM, the winger became striker. If you bring this old 442 to nowadays game its sooo outdated.
I was at this game. Incredible to think it was 20 years ago. The atmosphere was electric. The hatred was not just the players, but the fans too. Great days for both clubs. I do miss Highbury.
I wasn't abusive. I was pointing out the absurdity of what you said. Don't take it personal, because the majority of people feel the way you do. Humans are hypocrites and full of, on the face of it, violent and aggressive urges. That's why football fans are so passionate. It's because they are acting out their tribal instincts. The excitement of battle (the football match), the glory of victory, and the hatred towards anyone outside the tribe (supporters of other football teams).@@user-kn8un4ru8p
Beckham so underrated! He’s involved in everything and some of those long balls no one can do! Watching all these old games you realise how good he was and he was so important in the treble season getting important goals and they were always worldies
@@jonathanbevins8204 Scholes wasn't underrated either. Jeez, anyone who says "underrated" about any of the team who won the Treble the previous season [98/99] is a halfwit
Beckham was an absolutely fantastic footballer. Looking at these vids just make you realise just how good the guy was. Amazing g too how Fergie would get into the team at HT for them to come out every time fighting for everything shows why SAF will go down as the best manager in history of football
Have watched so many highlights of old games since coronavirus hit. Miss these days so much. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a premier league game involving united with such intense rivalry and agro.
sane here, I think that a big difference between today's football and football 20 years ago is the lack of strong, prominent characters. this game is a perfect example, players such as Roy Keane and Patrick Viera are two big characters seen in this match. I don't mean that you have a strong character if you fight,(which they do in this match) but if you look at their careers they have something in common, they are both fierce and passionate leaders that are have a massive presense on the pitch.
I love seeing Patrick Vieira doing his Bertie Big Bollocks hardman impression with Beckham, knocking him off the ball, all the Arsenal supporters cheering him...then twenty seconds later Keano scores the winner! Bahaha
When I watch late 90's and early 2000's Arsenal , Man United teams I feel the goosebumps. Those teams where phenomenal. The surprising part most of the players played in this game continue to play for the clubs fore like 5-6 to 10 more years after this game. Sadly this level of commitment is dead by the current brood of pro today.
When United v arsenal games were full of drama , intensity , skill,...and brutality.....loved the passion this rivalry stirred up during the 90s ....miss those days of keane, viera, scholes, bergkamp, beckham, stam and others...great times
The sequence from 15:53 is typical of Keane's sublime passing and first touch. He always fizzed the ball into Cole, Yorke, Ole and his first touch when it getting it back from Andy was superb.
2 great teams 2 great captains 2 great managers When football was at its best , I actually feel sorry for kids who never seen this rivalry , best game in football for 5 season . Keane is my favourite player and the memories I have of this game is why I love football . Football just isn’t the same no more .
Facts here - it's all too nice and sanitized these days - players diving if they are touched, no one seems to care anymore they just play for money, no tackling anymore or physicality, VAR which is a joke and the football is kinda boring - it's all possession, sideways passing, sends me to sleep lol
Đội hình Mu một thời cuồng nhiệt, cháy bỏng và là niềm tự hào của những ai đã trót yêu quỷ đỏ. Ôi , so với đội hình hiện tại thì biết bao giờ mới được sống lại cái cảm giác hồi hộp, háo hức và sung sướng khi xem Mu thi đấu...đành chờ vậy thôi!
The football at that time was amazing, full of all essetnial element, speed, power, techni, etc. Bot teams focused on game and fighting each other. So pure football!!!!
The season when Keane signed a new contract with United and the first to break the salary cap of premiership in England to become the highest paid player in premiership history at that moment earning 55 thousand pounds per week. Roy Keane also scored the winner of the Toyota Intercontinental Cup in Japan now known as Fifa World Club Cup in the same season.
It makes me sad how far down Arsenal and United have sank in the last few years. There was a time Arsenal would go an entire season without losing at highbury and united would win almost all league games at old trafford. Time flies
Raimond was a good keeper,when a goalkeeper has a quiet reputation its usually a good sign.Always did a good job when called upon and very few errors that I remember
@Vernon Francis Gallagher Romero is better than Van Der Gouw. He would walk into most Premier League teams. Don't forget he has played in a World Cup Final
Newcastle fan here, there's a some bona fida legends in this game.. I loved seeing overmars in full flight and Bergkamp is in the top 3 strikers ever.. to name but 2
What a wonderful game of football between two top class sides. Lots of meaty challenges and not a sign of faking injuries and rolling over half a dozen times, thanks for uploading. Also great to see Highbury again, what a proper football stadium, I only went once and my team won! Good old Kevin Gallacher.
The amount if class oozing out of both the teams is staggering in hindsight. Everyone (star players as well squad players) doing bits, working hard tracking back yet playing some amazing passes, flick ons and skill. Makes current gen football look staid.
It's crazy to think that the standard of these two sides since the late 90's is better than the level they are at now, considering this is nearly 25 years ago. Both united and Arsenal from this era would still be good enough to compete for the title now.
The game was always going to go this way.With the explosion of money,clubs want to protect investments like Neymar,its no good paying 200 mill for him to be injured by a Vinnie Jones tackle from behind. Another commenter nailed this years ago ; "British football in the 90's,was mostly British players,with a few Scandinavians,those players are not known for being small,technical players. You can't ask Iniesta to be "hard",if you aren't asking Batty to be skillful." Besides,have you watched any full games from the 90's? There are so many basic errors,or hopeful punts,or hoofed balls out of fear. The ball spends sooooo much time out of play,for throw ins or free kicks. Yes,there were far more characters,the game itself was more action packed(today 40% of games involve passing around either boxes) but today's game,is far faster,with the ball in play way more,basic errors and hoofed balls are sins for managers,and undoubtedly,there are way more skillful players. It always comes down to a trade off...no tackles from behind? ok but that means less tackles...banning heading for health reasons? ok but bye bye to Crouchie or Ferguson....safer stadiums for family's? ok......but you get rid of the most passionate fans(usually the ultra's or racist pricks) In the end,the game is better,how could it not be?It always progresses. The Prem has been an upward spike since inception,the bloody thing thrived during the recession.
I mean if you want to praise the pass-fest that this game is today along with the amazing protection of attackers and shitty VAR go ahead. It was so much more action packed than today’s football.
Roy Keane!! What a skipper he was...! Definitely there are very few teams in football history who could claim to have a captain being as good or better than Keane (I mean not as a player but as a captain, with his capability of pulling the entire team to victory, and making every player give his 110%...then of course, he was a super strong player as well). In the latest years my mind goes to Baresi, and I think Simeone could have been a top captain of Inter, but they decided to give the armband to Ronaldo instead.... Also Tony Adams was a great captain. Still among all of them, to me Keane is The Captain..
Scholes had a nightmare in this game, can see why Ferguson took him off, Arsenal did have a superb pressing game at that time. Becks was superb in 2nd half & Keane showing great finishing composure, not just a leader but a good footballer too
@GTS Ikr those peoples be like "Let men play" how you supose to let those peoples play when they keep kicking and punching players just because they are too agressive.
Well I agree in some ways that that was great old days when footballers really play like men for pride and honor, not just for money. They fought till the whistle blown, along the way they got physical and all, but I guess that’s coz they just wanted to win so bad. However, I also agree that harsh challenges that could end someone’s career like Keane did to Alf Inge Haaland should be punished accordingly.
Everyone knows the football and entertainment at this time is far superior to now but so is the commentary. Well timed energy, genuinely engaging statistics on the players and an all-round upgrade on today’s “fantastic, by (insert player)!”
Words cannot do justice at the quality and intensity of this football match, stam , keane and Beckam and the likes had mind and ball control in abundance .
Seems like players actually fought a bit back then. And then some player discovered that if you fell down and over-dramatized your pain, your opponent could get a red card. And thus, was born, the diving/writhing in pain culture.
There is so much to take away from this one game. Keane, a guy who usually reacts emotionally to adversity for some reason chose (uncharacteristically) to not respond to Vieira's antics on this particular occasion and look what happened. Keane got the last laugh, he kept his cool and got his revenge by scoring the last minute winner. It just goes to show what can happen if you just keep cool and be a better person. Vieira on the other hand...How did this guy avoided being sent off, I will never know. He headbutted TWO people in the same match and somehow didn't even get a yellow card. Lightly headbutted Keane, then grabbed/shoved Jaap Stam and followed that with a headbutt which led to Stam grabbing him by the throat. Stam a guy known for being quite a chill dude. Vieira should have been sent off and that clusterfuck right at the end with the Arsenal players literally kicking the goalkeeper in the face when the ball was clearly in both his hands. Granted, it was almost certainly out of pure desperation but still, if you have to resort to kicking someone in the face to score a goal, what does that say about your team? Still a great game, though and yeah, it is nice to see real football again, with real men and not this watered down, PG shit we get now. These were the magic golden years.
I remember this game so well . When arsenal went 1 up my dad had the cheesiest smile on his face and he said : OH WELL 🙄 I always remember the winner . Me : OH WELL 😂😂😂😂😂
Very sharp Kanu, Dixon, Vieira and Henry. Gone are the days. Hi all Arsenal fans

This comment is so funny now, knowing that Arsenal (probably) has the best defense in Europe 3 years later.

Beckham's passes are the best. Roy Keane is legend and always in the right place at the right time.
De heroes of that times
Worked hard with what he had got. Not as much as some, but you got it every week.

@@footballnotsooccer600 Cause that's good. I want the game to be dirtier and more aggressive, not these pussy like playing from modern day players
Everyone knows the football and entertainment at this time is far superior to now but so is the commentary.
Well timed energy, genuinely engaging statistics on the players and an all-round upgrade on today’s “fantastic, by (insert player)!”
Laughs in Peter Drury
I love Manchester United from Indonesia
This era these teams that was when footy couldve been on PPV it was that good
Wow....raw passion, tension and pure joy , no matter how many times I watch this ... Miss this type of footy
One of the two greatest managers in English football ❤️
Yorkes collar was bigger than his parenting responsibility
Please take time to appreciate the premier league at its best. Look at the quality in the 22 men on that pitch!
ONE referee and two assists and they done their jobs properly....Much better than those idiots in the VAR room.
DID their Jobs
*Did

I remember that Man Utd away shirt. It looked really good, it was just made of an odd fabric and felt strange when you touched it
i had it. a poxy sort of terry cloth affair
Like a rugby shirt
Kanu's passes were out of this world
Words cannot do justice at the quality and intensity of this football match, stam , keane and Beckam and the likes had mind and ball control in abundance .
now that's football even the ref played his part well
Poor Culkin. Only saw 5 seconds of gameplay at the end. Ever. Lol!
Mark Arcee my uncle just
Still, give credit where it's due: he kept a 100% clean sheet record. And you can't argue with that!
I was just looking at that, that was it for him lol
He was our answer to Chris Pile......
18:45 That time in the 90's early 2000's when you could kick in retaliation, punch and grab someone by the neck with no red cards to follow, amazin
Kinda forget Kanu in his early days when he was alot more mobile, really fun to watch
Man's age. Stam is man. Kean is clever. Vieira is huge. That is legendary tough game.
I love old Highbury fields
I was born in Manchester United and that was one of the most memorable matches I’ve ever seen
😊
Seems like players actually fought a bit back then. And then some player discovered that if you fell down and over-dramatized your pain, your opponent could get a red card. And thus, was born, the diving/writhing in pain culture.
It takes at least 3 players to hold back stam😍😍
Good old days ! I was 10 religiously watching with my old man !
Fight of badges.
Missing these passion in today's matches
Overmars, Bergkamp, Vieira, Ljungberg, Seaman, Suker, Henry...
One of the best Arsenal squads to not win anything :(
Shows that Wenger was always a bang average manager. We should've, at least, won the FA Cup that season.
come on guys arsenal were a force around this time
@@redflag8970 exactly
HighburyAFCSoul You have no idea what you’re talking about
They did win 1997/1998 season
Proper game of football and fantastic from Manchester United ☺️
To anyone who ever doubted or doubts how good keane really was, games like this are a perfect example.
There is so much to take away from this one game. Keane, a guy who usually reacts emotionally to adversity for some reason chose (uncharacteristically) to not respond to Vieira's antics on this particular occasion and look what happened. Keane got the last laugh, he kept his cool and got his revenge by scoring the last minute winner. It just goes to show what can happen if you just keep cool and be a better person.
Vieira on the other hand...How did this guy avoided being sent off, I will never know. He headbutted TWO people in the same match and somehow didn't even get a yellow card. Lightly headbutted Keane, then grabbed/shoved Jaap Stam and followed that with a headbutt which led to Stam grabbing him by the throat. Stam a guy known for being quite a chill dude. Vieira should have been sent off and that clusterfuck right at the end with the Arsenal players literally kicking the goalkeeper in the face when the ball was clearly in both his hands. Granted, it was almost certainly out of pure desperation but still, if you have to resort to kicking someone in the face to score a goal, what does that say about your team?
Still a great game, though and yeah, it is nice to see real football again, with real men and not this watered down, PG shit we get now. These were the magic golden years.
I remember this game so well . When arsenal went 1 up my dad had the cheesiest smile on his face and he said : OH WELL 🙄 I always remember the winner .
Me : OH WELL 😂😂😂😂😂
