@@millwallholdings Patrick Viera played for France, a team that had the likes of Henry, Zidane, Thuram, Desaille, Deschamps etc, players who were world beaters.

There's no point in that argument. And it can't take away the fact that Roy Keane was a world class player. One of the greatest the premier league has ever seen.

Lifelong United fan... Hearing Viera say "I loved it" was great to hear. Both left EVERYTHING on the pitch (and in the tunnel), but it wasn't a personal matter... I miss these types of midfield generals.
It was two players who had an incredible will to win. During match day nothing else mattered to those two other than their team winning. If someone posed a threat to their team potentially winning, they took that personally. And it was more than just personal pride.
2 warriors on the pitch as well as 2 of the best of their era (definitely both very underrated). Total respect for one another. If only more of today's youth were taught some of the values, characteristics, and heart these blokes have
A rivalry between two proud clubs from two proud cities, one in the North West and the other in North London that would always never be short of entertainment and passion. United and Arsenal back in the 90s and early/mid 2000's were as feisty, electric and powerful as they could ever get. Two great goalkeepers, two excellent defences, two titan midfields and two groups of sharpshooters and two managers who go hell for leather against each other.
It was the best football to watch at their time and they was a massive part of it no matter what team you supported that was the biggest game to watch.
It was a joy to watch man utd vs arsenal. Used to look forward to the game because of the intense battles. You felt the game was always one tough tackle away from blowing up. Players on both sides ready to leave a foot in got the fans going too.
This era was the best maybe I'm being a bit biased because it was my era growing up, but the big games were massive you would get excited a few weeks before "can't wait for the United arsenal game next week" it was just the best in my eyes
Roy keane loved it ferguson knew he had the man to keep viera in check it's well known he'd remind roy 2 weeks before the match big game in two weeks !!!
And vice versa. I personally don't consider City a rival like a do Arsenal and Liverpool. As Mourinho said "there's something called football heritage" 🤌
@@azlstrhl 100% agree with you.. unlike City Arsenal ManU Liverpool have like Mourinho said heritage. City will rack up trophies like Chelski but its with MONEY not like the other 3 hard work determination courage and the quest to find talent!... ✌🤜🏽
I feel like my dad now because football was always better in his day but this was my era as a 20 year old and I think the kids of today have really missed out. The football between these 2 and premier leagues games in general was so exciting compared to the no tackling, crap atmosphere, VAR governed crap we get today is a world apart. I can barely watch football now and it is literally because it was so good in this era that nothing compares now.
I'm a gooner I felt the same. No messing around be ready be on your guard you know what's coming and what you have to do get on with it time to wake up and stay wake.
I miss this period in football where there was so much talent playing around the world. Worldclass players in every position. Midfield had legends like Patrick Vieira, Roy Keane, Gattuso, Nedved, Scholes, Mendieta, Okocha, Motta, Sunday Oliseh,
Hands down the greatest team rivalry - United v Arsenal, manager rivalry - Fergie v Wenger, and player rivalry - Keane v Viera, that the league has ever seen
It was the best period in premier league history much more passion much more excitement it seemed to mean so much more not like these modern day hugfests where defenders just pass it sideways for 60 minutes
No disrespect to footballers, but professional hockey players (NHL) get into real fist fights with their opponents. When the game is over, the combatants may go for beers afterwards with no hard feelings. Ex teammates have fought, in a few cases brothers have fought. One fight featured a groom fighting his best man. But once the game is over, it's done. Amazing really.
U keyboard warriors ... too young to know what that table is all about Those are absolute legends and heroes to a generation that would become kids instantly in their presence Every single one of them
We forget how good how good the standard of players in that era . Omg How did man utd beat this team . So much talent . Bergkamp was my favourite player even tho I'm man utd . Overmars wow, pires, and the back 4 . Then Henry . But utd with Rooney , Keane ,Giggs , scholes, Ronaldo. Wow the list goes on. Now we have saka and rashford lmao 🤣 And these two was winner's It was such a pleasure to watch the football in my 20s . No var , brutal tackles. You got away with 5/6; before a yellow. Can you imagine Henry in today's game and Rooney. They would get 5 or more players sent off.
Then spain had El classico, England had man utd vs arsenal, justice like El classico they did just want to win against each other they wanted to humiliate each other , 4 ,zero , the attacking was relentless.

The best PL rivalry.
Like wwf but in football 😂😂
A nightmare to referee
Hair stands on the back of my neck when these 2 speak. Total respect for one another. 2 real league winning centre mids. Class!
Titans of the game.

It felt like the world stopped and watched when Arsenal and United when at it each other back in the day. What time it was to be alive!
I mean, we has the vest league in Europe if not the world
The Keane & Viera era of Premiership football was unbelievable. 2 absolute beasts goin to battle in the centre of MD

EPL at its peak
Two of the best
BTW I'm a Man City fan from Manchester.
But I really admire these two men and player's.
They also share mutual respect
Applaud the true fan of footie. Were seen the vest time of Premier league back then

Two brilliant players
2 absolute TITANS in midfield for their respective clubs, what a time that was
The man u and arsenal games during that period were brilliant to watch with both teams loaded with quality and toughness ..
A rivalry between two proud clubs from two proud cities, one in the North West and the other in North London that would always never be short of entertainment and passion.

As a United fan I’ve grown to love Arsenal as a fearsome rival and competitor from those great days.
From an Arsenal perspective I totally agree with you fella what a time it was some fantastic battles on and of the pitch
I've grown to respect them, qwll the 90s 2000s wra
.
After they've retired I respect.thwm.but wasnt a fan of them back then
Now.i.appreciate them
same way i see united mate,hated you lot years ago! good times never ever be matched everything was just perfect
Football just isn't the same these days, so glad I got to witness these battles with United
When GIANTS collided 💥💥💥❤
It was the best football to watch at their time and they was a massive part of it no matter what team you supported that was the biggest game to watch.
Ian Wright smiling ..like the older brother.. observing the younger ones giving respect to each other
They made themselves better players through the games they played against each other 😅
100%
Well said and I bet they'd say the exact same thing themselves
the golden era .

Respect amongst rivals and conducting themselves as men
These two represent the greatest rivalry in Premier League history. Period.
Arsenal v United for me was the best in those premiership days , Ferguson v wenger , classic
This was fantastic back in the days.
These two going head to head was one of the greatest things ever in the Premiership

Great respect and honesty
Arsenal Vs Man U back then was more like a chemical reaction than a football match, just incredible
Hoping Sean still completes the fromsoft games, loved all the other videos. Can't wait to watch all this too. Love you Sean
Roy won 4, Vieira won 3 with 5 draws. Biggest player vs player rivalry i can remember 🔥
Never see a battle like that again fireworks every time
I'm a gooner I felt the same.
No messing around be ready be on your guard you know what's coming and what you have to do get on with it time to wake up and stay wake.
Proper players respect both
That era of Utd and Arsenal was the best rivalry in premier league history. Wasn’t the same when them two left though
I miss this period in football where there was so much talent playing around the world. Worldclass players in every position. Midfield had legends like Patrick Vieira, Roy Keane, Gattuso, Nedved, Scholes, Mendieta, Okocha, Motta, Sunday Oliseh,
Nedved?
The best best times ever 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️🔥
Monsters of the game 👏👏👏
These two battled brillianttly
I would have to say over every single battle these two had against eatch other roy just snatches it as victorious 55% 45%
Steel sharpens steel ❤
Keane got handled and he knows it 😂
Unbelievable period
Clash of the Titans 👌
my god the premier league was absolute fire back then... that Arsenal team was revolutionary
Class 🏴
Proper football!!!!!!!
Still weird seeing them in same room talking together😅
The game nowadays is nothing like what it use to be, money has ruined football
Hands down the greatest team rivalry - United v Arsenal, manager rivalry - Fergie v Wenger, and player rivalry - Keane v Viera, that the league has ever seen
Fergie Venger. Best games of the season back in the day.
Futbol was just better back then
The Two had respect for each other on the field, but the tunnel was a completely different story 😜😜😜
It was the best period in premier league history much more passion much more excitement it seemed to mean so much more not like these modern day hugfests where defenders just pass it sideways for 60 minutes
Yes legends❤
Not a knife in sight when man u played Arsenal in this era.
Just got stuck in and every man was there to be counted
A knife? You see those in football now do you
A knife? Wtf bro go bk to your estate
Honest battles. That was the best. Not this new age bs
Used to be you hit me I hit you back. Now it’s you hit me and I roll around crying like a bih

Hockeys pish mate
What's your point mate ? You would have been swallowed up by either of these two
That's part of the rules of hockey you clown
Same as rugby. 80 minutes beating the hell out of each other just to have a beer in the club house with the opposition as soon as showered n changed
Viera was a much much better footballer than Keane was it was Keane's leadership that rose him to legend levels
Jason mcateer a sneaky 😂

Their* ffs sake. There= direction. Their= between two or more people. They're= They are. Its fucking simple.
Old fashion midfield battles😂
Theyre pretty much girlfriends lately 😅 But having seen each and every battle they fought i admit, they both were the real deal!!
their battles
"argy-bargy"
We forget how good how good the standard of players in that era .
Omg
How did man utd beat this team .
So much talent .
Bergkamp was my favourite player even tho I'm man utd .
Overmars wow, pires, and the back 4 .
Then Henry .
But utd with Rooney , Keane ,Giggs , scholes, Ronaldo.
Wow the list goes on.
Now we have saka and rashford lmao 🤣
And these two was winner's
It was such a pleasure to watch the football in my 20s .
No var , brutal tackles.
You got away with 5/6; before a yellow.
Can you imagine Henry in today's game and Rooney.
They would get 5 or more players sent off.
They make it sound like a rugby ruck and maul. 😂😂😂
Have you seen those games

When these 2 played it was when football was football today's football is completely shit in comparison
I don't agree - Roy Keane tried to injure Vieira on purpose many times your can go back and check the videos of their battles.
ask keane about vinny jones....bluffer.
