How you doing all, i was at my mates house a few nights ago who is an arsenal fan,
He put on a dvd of an arsenal v man utd games back when keane and viera were in their prime, bought back a lot of memories and to be honest they were my favourite games of football ever.

what a game we were in for back then, 11 top players v 11 top players, good keepers; brillant defence, good hard tackling in midfield with plenty of skill in there as well, and up front some brillant strikers.

Then we watched the programme when keane met viera and there was some respect between the 2 of them, and what a team they picked out of the 2 teams.
The sad thing about it is we will never again see the likes of them ever again.
Great memories i must get them on dvd myself.

Leahy,
Totally agree mate. Massive rivalry over the years between Fergie and Wenger and Utd and Arsenal, epitomised by the tenacity of Keane and Vieira.

Funny enough, since Keane and Vieira left, neither team have managed to reach their pinnacle.

Two massive losses.

Those were the days of both clubs playing attacking football based on speed and power, how I long for those days to reappear!

Leahy, out of curiosity how would your Arsenal and Man Utd combined 11 look? Only taking players from that era.

The best times in both our clubs history! Also the best games in the premier leagues history. Both those two teams at the time made the premier league the world watched juganaught it is today.

R.G. I see you are confident of smashing hull on Saturday, it's a shame you are not so cocky when you play the big boys when you go missing every time. Did you see Paul merson on tv this morning when he said only Alexis Sanchez would get into Tottenham team was music to the ravers ears.

Oh dear raver, making a fool of yourself again. I think you will find Merson isn't the brightest spark in the world and is often wrong when predicting. It's funny that the Toot are so amazing that they got knocked out of the CL in the group stages, messes your Thursday night bingo with mummy up. They went out the League Cup in an earlier round than Arsenal. They are only one win ahead of Arsenal at present in the league. The two first elevens are pretty even, but the Arsenal squad is far stronger. Little task for you, count the honours won by the Arsenal players in their careers and compare it to those won by the toot players. You still cowardly haven't listed the huge haul of trophies won by the toot in your lifetime and compared them to this won by Arsenal during the same period. As you well know the pain at the lane just goes on. 1961 and waiting.

Yes your Arsenal are a lot stronger than spurs who have only lost 2 games all season while you had the runaround against Bournemouth and Watford, Everton etc how many games have you lost deluded R. G.

Raver,
I think RG61 has just completely floored you mate.

The pain in your brain just goes on.
1961 and waiting.

Hows he floored me dags, I'm right we lost 2 and you have lost 5 and have been beaten by crap sides. Nobody will ever floor the raver especially the deluded one as I'm the main man around London and all the prisons I have been in during my thug years,

10 Feb 2017 21:04:49
Raver,
I was talking about RG's first post mate.
Totally floored you bruv.

And Guys Marsh isn't a prison, it's a holiday home.

Raver
We all know that even if Arsenal finished bottom of the Premier League Spurs would still somehow contrive to finish below Arsenal.
Food poisoning in 2006 or 10 man Newcastle 5 Spurs 1 last season.
I almost forgot the year AVB said Arsenal were on a downward spiral or the year Spurs were 8 pts ahead of Arsenal with about 12 games to go and leading 2-0 at the Emirates. That game ended 5-2 our way and we finished easily above you.
Also if Pochettino's Spurs are so good then they still need to get more points in a year than Harry Redknapp's Spurs of a few years back when you were one man team - Gareth Bale is probanly the only Sours player in the last 10 years that is good enough for Arsenal.
