How good was football in these days ? A simple game , all 3pm kick offs , characters in each team , real players , real loyal players . No Sky biased towards teams . No high inflated wages , no over hyped players . Love Georgie Graham , the tough Scot who installed what it meant to play for The Arsenal. Georgie Graham is the foundation to which The Emirates is built on , not Arsene Wenger but Georgie Graham. Thank you Stroller Graham . The foundation maker to the Arsenal that is today .
@Mad Man 1 United, Liverpool and Spurs. You can tell by the way they employ pundits mainly from those teams. I.e. Neville/Keane, Carragher/McManaman and Jermaine Jenas.
Graham’s best arsenal team was the 90-91 title winners. The almost invisibles! We even had 2 points deducted after this game but still went on to win the league title.
Yeah we only lost one league game that season to Chelsea. Graham's Arsenal team of the late 80's early 90's is probably one of the most underrated English teams ever.
Agreed. And also the football was actually very technical, tactically astute and fast paced. Many modern fans just call it hoof ball when there was a lot more going on.
@@AW-kr9fl The football wasn't necessarily bad but English football was in the mud at this point generally. I'd say the golden era of the prem was the 00s because it was the perfect balance of old school but with far greater quality than say the early 90s
love the passion. Need more of that these days. It doesent help that everything players do is under the microscope which in turn has generated robots who say the right things, do the right things and so there's no characters.
I don't know how both teams got fined and points deducted for this, nothing bad really happened, considering this was in an era when football was still regarded as a 'man's game'
I'm a Liverpool fan, but one of the things I like about Arsenal is that the players have always stood up for themselves. There's no way to beat a Ferguson team by being "nice". A red card here or there to tell others you aren't intimidated by them goes a long way..
That was a truly horrible tackle by the Arsenal player. He went into try and hurt that player. His feet were of the ground. Even back then that was considered disgusting. McClair should not have kicked him but neither should that tackle have been made.
@arsenal0782 pretty sure being a United fan these days is worse mate. Your two rivals challenging for the title. At least Tottenham isn't doing well so y'all atleast have that.
Don't be ridiculous, it wasn't that bad. However, you seriously think the Manc players kicking someone whilst they're on the ground was okay?! Pack that nonsense in.
I remember the re-match at Highbury.We had won the league earlier in the day as Liverpool drew at Forrest.We told the FA where to stick their 2 points.
I agree. He was superb that season. From the late 80th to 1996, he was superb. Forget the fluke saragossa goal . It will always be a fluke. But after his injury in late 97 early 98 he lost a lot of his abilities. Wengers first and one of his bigger mistakes was to drob Manninger in 1998 after the league win and to reinstall Seaman.
Arsenal had two points deducted because of the brawl, Man Utd had one point also. I don't think this has happened since but they're not as strict now on rivalry/derby skirmishes like they were before the Premier League.
This was proper football of the yester-decades.. Not the shite, overpaid, wannabe oscar winning, ponses you have today... RIP David Rocastle and Les Sealey
How Arsenal were deemed the guilty party I'll never understand, the state of Mc Clair and co kicking Winterburn on the ground is arguably the worst thing to happen on a football pitch since Bloody Sunday
Was there with me dad and gf at the time, always feisty between McClair & Winterburn, if only we kept Big Norm & Mcgrath, would've caused even more mayhem
I remember being about 9 years old reading about this on the back page of my dad's copy of The Sun then waiting for Shoot! magazine to come out which had the sanitised version xD
Ferguson always admired Tony Adams and why he seeked out him to calm it down. Adams should of been a Manchester United player but he wasn't as good as Bruce or Pallister by quite a bit
@@zman2205 of course. That image has stuck in my mind for years. But still not a brawl. It had potential to really kick off but it was mostly argey bargey and players stopping it from escalating
@@dazza944 I clicked onto it expecting fists flying. Not a single punch 😂 They were deducted points for this? I think football from this era has an overhyped reputation for being a hard game. Much harder than today’s game but let’s face it that wouldn’t be hard
The guy that was on the ground just made a disgusting tackle even for that era. It was not that he when in hard it was he went in with both feet of the gound.
@ he went 2 footed above his ankle not for the ball, if he connected with his leg he would have ended his career, he deserved every kick he got... he didn't do it again.
Mad that Arsenal were deducted more points for this "brawl" when it really was just two united cowards kicking a player on the floor. But hey, their influence in the FA that fucked over so many teams finally paid off when they spent over 1bn and won no english league titles.
Professional amnesia.... It was a bad tackle initially. In those days, the only guys to regulate bad tackles were players who knew what a serious injury meant. So thing's escalated quickly I guess.
One thing is for sure, George Graham's players at Arsenal were toughnuts as that's because of his intense training methods and no nonsense attitude. Something that's being mirrored by Mikel Arteta now.
Oh the days before football went corporate....love it. Away end mental in those days as well, good following the Gooners had before the Yuppies showed up.
They got docked points for that 😳 I thought men were men back in the day 🤷♂️ Also, an Arsenal team with some fight in it, those really were different times.
I wasn’t even that bad to warrant what punishment that was given. There was a little something else going on behind the scenes that the fa wanted putting to bed. But that’s another story
So racist and predjudice punishing all those Arsenal players. Mcclair should have been sent off for kicking Winterburn on the ground.. Racist FA fining the Arsenal players...so nasty. Shame on them!
Racist????WTF?? Arsenal are a different race to everyone else? Hang on, you're right. I've always hated Arsenal all my life, haven't a reason why but now it's come to me why..... The fans. Every arsenal fan I've ever met has been an unjustified arrogant cunt....

Clearly not over the line even though the referee was in a great position. As for winterburn, he's always been a snidey fucking weasel Limpar was a lovely little player. Ahead of his time at Arsenal.

That’s was a nasty challenge from Winterburn though, even for 1990s standards.
Well McClair wasn't such a bad man when Limpar smacked him and when Michael Thomas stepped to him.
A leg breaking tackle kinda set it off then the cowardly attack on McClair from Limpar ..
For doing a horrible dirty challenge. The United players should have stepped on his head
Ah man, it's like a million years ago to how the game is now. Not a critique, it's just different.
So began the greatest football rivalry of all time. Pivotal.

That doesn't seem like a serious brawl to me. Why were points deducted for that one in particular?
