Having started supporting Arsenal around the mid 80s, since then I have witnessed 5 league trophies being won by the Gunners, but nothing beat the 89, not even the Invincible. For a simple reason - I always love the underdogs. And at the night of Anfield 89, Arsenal were a massive underdog. In fact, nobody gave George Graham's young guns a prayer. To beat the mighty Liverpool to the title with a last minute league-title-winning goal was like a fairytale. From that night on, I started to believe in miracle. And as long as you keep faith, never give up, impossible is really nothing.
Exactly, I don't support Arsenal but I 100 percent agree with you. Liverpool had a formidable home record then, and Arsenal had to win by 2 goals, and Liverpool hadn't lost at home by that margin for 3 years. (And the reason I know that is because I checked it cause I wasn't born then, but I happen to know it). I support Chelsea and after the 2012 UCL win against Bayern Munich in Munich I really started to believe that anything could happen, so when we played City in the final in May, even though we were underdogs I had a feeling we could do it and we did.
@@rohithraman6488 that game against City was fixed. Why did Guardiola rip up his tried and tested formula for the biggest game in Man City’s history ????
What's great about this footage is how it focusses entirely on the positive, the Arsenal celebrations. In todays media, they would have started with that and then switched to Liverpool fans crying, holding head in hands, being interviewed about how devastated they are etc etc Different world.
Nomadski at the end of the match, which decided the title, that’s exactly what TV did - showed Liverpool players, down, not Arsenal team celebrating, focused on the losing team not the winners.
Until chelsea won 1 UCL and made it their Get-out-of-jail-free card and never let us hear the bloody end of it like they dont even come _close_ to us in league titles , but uk what i cant blame them if we were 7 titles behind but won 1 UCL and Chelsea had none wed b doing the exact same thing
@@misbahalhuda one top 2 finish in your entire history before you were bailed out by Abramovich. 6,000 at home in the second division in the 1980s. Plastic club, no history. London is red
The difference beibg John is that the Arsenal title win was at the home of the team who would have pipped Arsenal to the title had Mickey not scored that injury time goal. Massive difference to Man City beating 10 men to win the league
You are the one talking shit pal, didn't stop Liverpool still being in the hunt for the title going into the last game of the season did it. Hillsborough disaster happened 15th April 1989, between that date and the final game of the season Liverpool played 5 league games, won 4 and drew 1. Bellend
@@noelgallagher1829 we took advantage? When we ran out for this game every single player had a bouquet of flowers which they gave to Liverpool fans in every part of the ground
... because to beat a team who had not lost by 2 clear goals at home for nearly 4 years and to do it with the last kick of the season incredible. i also want to praise the liverpool fans after all they had gone through that season when that goal went in they were stunned, crying and very upset but yet they had the diginity to give the arsenal players & staff a standing ovation and that is what football is all about.
Some one like me who grew up in Islington. Holloway, Upper Street, Angle , Highbury corner and many more places brings so many positive memories & to see my Beloved Arsenal lift the trophy beyond words .#COYG #uptheArsenal #AFC
What was great about it, was everyone joined in. Even Spurs fans were up for a beer after a London team, even us, had finally knocked Liverpool off their perch. The scenes everywhere were amazing. I lived just outside Kingston (upon Thames), and as we went out to meet our friends in the pub to celebrate, there were big groups of people walking along singing 'champions' even there, in the heart of suburbia! Arsenal didn't just win it for North London, they won it for all of London. It's unlikely, as Merseyside won it a record seven times in a row back then, that feeling of relief, of joy for everyone, will ever happen again. Nor, despite the desperate Skyspin over City's triumph, will we ever have a Championship finish like that again.
Classic late 80s style. Adams and Graham walk out from underneath some scabby scaffolding with the cup in hand. Much more 'real' than todays fireworks and glitter. ps. With hindsight we can only imagine what a party it mustve been with Merson and Adams on the rage!
One of the most wonderful nights of my life .Watched it in a pub in Exeter there was precisely three of us gooners in there ..And loads of Devon based liverpool fans .I grew up in North London but moved down here in 77 was 5 when they won in 71 .So this was so sweet .
will never ever forget that wonderful night. I lived near highbury at the time and my dad smashed the window when Thomas charged through the midfield. I cannot believe its coming up to 20 years ago..........what Sky sports and Andy Gray would do to have a match like this!!! Brian Moore RIP...your words wil live long in the memory!! as will david (kerbcrawler) pleats poetic justice......ha ha ha!!!
As a neutral I remember watching that game on tv with Rangers, Celtic, Chelsea, United and Scum fans. No-one wanted a Liverpool win. Back then people were pig sick of their boring pass back style football and everyone was craving someone, anyone to knock them off their perch. None of the lads there that night were Arsenal fans and most of us dislike them BUT on THAT night we were like the rest of the nation 100% behind Arsenal. Great memories!!!
I watched it with my old man..my first real memory of football this I was 7....when Thomas scored 2 mad QPR fans jumping round the front room... you're right that was celebrated up and down the land
Amazing night, so proud to have been a part of it. I remember arriving back in London from Anfield on the coach at about 1 in the morning and there were still plenty of fans around. We headed down to Highbury and stayed until the early hours, singing to the players hanging out of the hallowed halls. Bliss.
It's up for grabs now.. THOMAS! Right at the end, an unbelivable climax to the league season... The Liverpool players are down, absolutely abject. Barnes is down, noble is down, Dalglish just stands there. We have the most dramatic finish in the history of the football league.
I can't imagine what that must have been like, I used to go watch the Gunners during the barren years. I moved to the states in 86 three years before they won it. My last game I saw was against Aston Villa in the league Cup quarter finals. David Rocastle's first game.
Couldn't make the game at Anfield but spent the whole night and morning in upper street incredible scenes .When the final whistle went Red half of North London went Garrity.Brilliant Brilliant day and night .
Awesome game and stunning STUNNING result.... Couldn't quite believe what i was seeing when first Smith banged in the first goal ,then seemingly out of nowhere, Michael Thomas flying through to smack in the 2nd.....Absolutely Massive. Iconic.
I don't know how you got this footage together but I appreciate you uploading this. Considering I wasn't even born back then, it's wonderful to see one of the greatest days in our history. Smudger with some words of wisdom there as well
I could only imagine what my fellow gunners (and my uncles) went through during that period. I'm 15 and i hope we don't get into that situation again but if we do I'll support Arsenal all the way.
I was in the kop that night,how the hell did that happen,how on earth did we let that slip with the last kick of the season,no way,unbelievable!!! Even so,thats what football is all about,up and downs,i was lucky enough to be at 6 out of liverpools 7european cup finals,great great nights(apart from heysel)but that night at anfield when thomas slotted past brucey i will never forget!! The whole kop clapped arsenal of the pitch,well done gunners
this was unbelivable my grandfather got the season review video as soon as it came out. i have seen that goal so many times because it is a moumental moment in the history of english football. i thought it was destiny that Liverpool would win the double after what happened at Hillsborough but thomas had other ideas. it is the greatest moment of my football life not even the unbeaten league season of 2004 or the double wins at white hart lane or Old trafford could beat that....
I'm here because tomorrow will 20 years to the day we've last done it and we plays Spurs, it feels a little different than last season and I don't want to get my hopes up but COYG🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ from BERMUDA
George Graham, if he didn't make a fool of himself receiving bribes, then he would have been a great manager, despite his football was dull.Graham, as a player winning the Fairs Cup in 69-70 and the Doubles in 1970-71 and as a manager two league cups in 86/87 and 92-93. the F.A. Cup in 92/93, the league titles twice in 88/89 and 90/91 and the ECWC in 93/94.George Graham would have gone all the way, but never mind, he made a huge mistake managing our North London rivals, Tottenham.
Did any Gooners out there remember a mob going to Trafalgar Square after the presentation to continue celebrating? I remember a guy in a Liverpool shirt(obviously a tourist doing the touristy thing) getting dunked in the fountain by pissed up Arsenal fans. I recall they gave him some bottles of booze or cans afterwards to compensate for dunking.
Oh what a night we won the league on Merseyside what drama virtually last kick of the match and season George Graham's team was built on defence and what a defence it was one nil to the arsenal lol , except when we need two yaaaaaah come on you gunners double double winners then triple double winners now !
