Watching it back Arsenal had more than enough chances to walk away with 3 points here. Gallas' meltdown remains an absurd moment and says more about him as a leader
Exactly! And I’m an arsenal fan
Nah we need someone good next to him when toure was injured he had to carry SENDROS like nah
Yep, he ain't a leader.
@@KimzYt1Sendross lol
Bro we did more tham enough 2-1 game almost over but then the ref a gave one of the softest penalties in premier league history
as an arsenal fan, Alex McLeish's post match interview was first class...showed respect, class and kind of even empathized with how the result on the day panned out for Arsenal.
We had 10 men for while
This is the game when Arsenal's (unfortunately) banter era started
Boy your right we’re 20th
I hate Arsenal the biggest cry babies ever
@@hudson7354 i hate them too
Nah their banter era started when they left Highbury
"You only have to kill a person one time"... Arsene Wenger was complex simplicity.
The guy had a few skeletons in his closest himself. Lots of stories about young boys and vegetable oil. Obviously all unproven and you have to assume innocence but my word, if the glove fits?
@@InvisibleYetVisible who wakes up an thinks, “let me go online and write comments on random posts”…? Do better, it’s a Saturday morning.
@@DJObiSmalls listen, you can't knock Arsenes results. He took a small club and won some stuff and y'know, there is no proof that he was naughty. if he played twizzler with a few little boys then I'm sure the Arsey fans can forgive him right? Plus it's only hearsay.
Seeing how broken Arsene looked at the end, he knew the title was done after this game. Gallas wears his heart on his sleeve but that was completely the wrong reaction to a young player in Clichy.
"This is their 44th game this season, more than any club in Europe" not often mentioned but probably another reason why it all fell apart. Utd played 4 games less by this point.
Worr
Even more sign of corrupt Fa Allah. They make sure Manchester Reds win Allah. I am football expert from Bangalore, I been watching since invisibles. Arsey have very good following in my country, best current player in Arsey team Henry Allah. I work at Dell technical support and watch arsey on my huge 6 inch television Allah. Arsey best team in world for 20 odd years Allah. My cousin Mohammed was still alive last time Arsey won title, he not so around since well y'know Allah.
@@InvisibleYetVisible wow what a saddo u are mate
@@BigSmokeMUFC What? Very very big fan?!
I'm going to leave a like but can't bring myself to watch this game again. The pain is still so raw all these years later.
This was the game where we lost the league and as a whole we have not been the same as a club since that season. After that season we stopped believing and other clubs stopped fearing us.
Even ADEBAYORRR fork dipped after Eduardo injury
I'm with you. I also can't bring myself to watch the ucl final... too painful and I was 13 at the time. Nearly 30 now and it's still just as painful
Well said...we were never the same as a club since this day..
Going into that Birmingham game which Eduardo broke his leg in we had the opportunity to go 8 points clear as it was an early Saturday K:O on the 27th G/W before everyone else played. The football that season going forward with the likes of Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Walcott, Van Persie, Adebayor was absolutely scintillating. The intricate & incisive interchanges and build up going forward was truly breathtaking. Including the Birmingham draw we drew 5, lost 2 and won just 1 of our 8 league games in that period which ultimately cost us the title. Finished on 83 points (4 points off Man Utd). The 2 we lost were 6 pointers against Man United and Chelsea respectively as well to make it even more painful. Even if we'd just managed to beat United during that horrific run of results it would have hypothetically meant that we would have won the league in hindsight if the 3 points went the other way although obviously I appreciate the entire dynamic of the run in would have been altered by those chain of events. Fine margins. We completely imploded from gameweek 27-34. What could have been 😔.
You know what? Nothing but sympathy for Gallas. Adebayor didn't square the ball to his teammate for an open goal, Clichy lost concentration in exactly the same way as the week before, and then of course Mike Dean with an absolute host of shockingly poor decisions. Weak mentality from a lot of these players and an absolutely disgraceful refereeing performance, he had every right to be furious. This is a guy who was part of the best ever defence in Premier League history and less than two years prior was playing for the World Cup finalists. He expected more and led by example, scoring some vital goals at huge moments during the season. A lot of these players let him down, while witnessing his teammate get his leg snapped in two and a week after his close friend lost his brother. He had every right to be distressed.
Excatly people don’t think they just love picking on random I can’t blame Gallas cause he was man who knew all about winning I’m sorry ADEBAYORRR PISS ME OF JUST PASS ONCE I KNOW U HATE HIM BUT FFS MAN ITS ARSENAL NOT BEST FRIENDS FC
Yes it really annoys me the likes of Alan Davies digging Gallas saying he was a lunatic etc for crying on the pitch I doubt he was the only one emotional on that day.
As you say nothing in the season justifies the shit he gets outrageous
@@AbeSimpson321 BLAME ADEBAYORRR ONE ON ONE BEDTBER NEXT TO HIM square it 3 points we win the league
I don’t think people realised how distressed the Arsenal team were after that injury
Leading by example isn't throwing a strop when your younger Teammate makes an error.
Leading would be to bring him up. Brush him down and go again.
Yes it was a bad mistake (imo he got the ball then man but understand how it looked real time) but you don't throw a strop basically telling your young teammates it's game over for the title.
There was still plenty of time and if I remember right Arsenal were still top after the weekends games.
Gallas showed incredibly poor leadership and understandably was stripped of the captaincy less than a year later
This infamous game which started the banter era has a lot of talking point:
1. The weak mentality of players like Adebayor who couldn't swallow his pride to let Bendtner score. Gallas for his shocking meltdown in front of everyone. True captains like Maldini, Puyol, Ramos, Gerrard etc. would never behave like that in public.
2. Wenger's stubbornness to keep trusting below par players such as Senderos, Denilson, Hoyte etc. You can't win a league with such players in your squad.
3. Wenger's senseless decision to not only sign a player who threatened to score own goals if he wasn't transferred, but also exchange the PL's best ever LB for him. AW even made him captain and gave him Bergkamp's jersey for good measure. Not surprising that snakes like Gallas, Adebayor etc. joined Spurs later.
4. Gallas completely forgot that it's a team sport and being the captain, you've to show solidarity with your players despite the braindead mistake from Clichy. As if Gallas has never made an error in his entire career.
5. The refs for their horrible decisions which still continue to this day. It's because of such refs that opponents started thinking its OK to bully Arsenal players.
Not surprising that everything went downhill from this match onwards.
The team lacked leaders and it was a result of previous seasons as well. Viera left in 2005, Bergkamp retired in 2006 and Henry left in 2007, Ashely Cole, Pires, Sol Campbell all left. Gilberto was the only senior member who would have been the better option to be a captain rather than Gallas any day, but till this day I do not understand why it did not happen. Eventually his involvement was restricted and he too grew frustrated at the club. And till today we are still in search of a proper leader in the dressing room.
@@piyushghakravarty Gilberto was replaced in the midfield by Flamini.
This was world class team allah. Mike Dean very bad. He should have sent Martin Taylor off for life. I'm big big Indian fan Allah. I've been supporting since Invisibles!!
I believe the injury caused the arsenal players to lose focus because Eduardo was lethal for arsenal that season.
Also Wenger's stubborness to made any subtitutions before 60th minutes even when we were behind.. peculiar habit of his
This game is remembered for two things:
Eduardo's injury (which effectively killed off Arsenal's strong title hopes)
William Gallas meltdown (which was very unprofessional)
And a third thing. Arsenal will always remain bottlejobs.
Martin Taylor is a family man with a heart of gold. He made an error with that challenge and will be remembered for all wrong things. KRO
If we had won the title this season we would have Forgive him EDUARDO and ADEBAYORRR was on fire and we could have gone 8 points clear the injury and the last min affected the team and then hate for Birmingham started that day
@@KimzYt1 hate is wrong
Ultimately thsi is sport and as we say 'life is a long road with joys and sorrows too'. Hope things continue to improve for you guys on and off the field and reflect in the knowledge that we all dislike Man U. Lol
@@KimzYt1 hope you enjoyed Wembley 2011 :D
To quote Del Boy, 'well we've had worst days'...

The curse on arsenal began on that day
Definitely yes
Facts
That's very true..
As a Birmingham fan I have always loved and admired Arsenal and Wenger was a totally brilliant manager. Birmingham are a team that have never lived up to the potential. The fan base back in the late 60's through 70's and even 80's was amazing. This is a team that had we found the right buyer could have been right up there. Alas all we found for owners were trash and to this very day that remains. I can recall some great moments for us vs Arsenal. A Barry Bridges double in a cup replay at Arsenal we won 2-1 as massive underdogs. The League Cup final win but those moments have been few and far between.
Contrast with that the catalogue of brilliant players that have played for Arsenal. The trophies won, the magnificent days and nights their fans have shared. It is not easy being a fan of just another team and its got even worse over the years I have watched the game. Fans of the top teams need sometimes to be reminded of just how lucky they are for other 80 odd teams in the Football league we can only dream of what is routine for the top clubs on a weekly basis.
Back to Arsenal. Some of my all time favourite players played for you guys. Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Thierry Henry, and my personal favourite of all time Dennis Bergkamp. I could go on and on.
As for this game, yes the tackle was horrific but in truth Arsenal should have won by a bucket load. Birmingham the vastly Inferior team, 10 men for pretty much all of the game. Yes the decisions were marginal that led to Birmingham's goals but that in itself was not enough of an excuse.
The Minnows vs the Giants is what always brings out some of the best of English Football. Sadly for the most part even those days are gone.
I imagine something about seeing one of your close friend's bones sticking out their leg might have taken them out of the requisite frame of mind.
Your team is scum, robbed us of the title. Wallow in mediocrity ever more.
@@liambrowning6962 Wow. Thank you. I still celebrate our League Cup Final win in 2011 over some London based team full of overpaid, overhyped players. That said it takes more than one sad Arsenal fan like you to make stop enjoying football even that played by Arsenal.
@@liambrowning6962one player gets a tackle all wrong over 15 years ago and we're scum? Bit harsh mate. Unlucky in 2011 by the way, greatest day in my life supporting Blues against that team of superstar pansies you had.
@OffGridMadMan Your team was a mediocre team. Well, it still is. This is why you broke Eduardo's leg. Imagine if it happened to one of your important Birmingham player. Asshole
@@liambrowning6962 womp womp
Match of the day showed a leg breaker on BBC, times have changed
cant have the woke snowflakes see an injury it might seriously affect their mental health forever.
The game that cost us the league that season
ADEBAYORRR was shot when he cut his hair FFSS
Yo 8:30

I was at this game 13 years ago (now 34 years old), I still remember it vividly. As a Birmingham fan, i remember everyone being shocked at the red card , no-one realised how bad the challenge was because it was in centre of the pitch. It just looked a standard mistimed challenge and everyone felt the ref ruined the game. It was only until we saw Eduardo go off the pitch on oxygen that we realised something was wrong. I remember Walcott coming on and ripping us to shreds with his pace. I remember how out of the blue the penalty was. I actually think Clichy just gets the ball from Parnaby but I certainly wasn't complaining. I wonder if Gallas has ever forgiven Clichy for that clanger, his reaction and Muamba's reaction to the panalty is priceless. The Gallas meltdown is easily the most insanely unprofessional thing i've ever seen at a live game, I couldn't believe my eyes. After the game I lost a lot of respect for Wenger for inciting a lot of unecessary hatred towards Martin Taylor, every Birmingham fan knows that Taylor was 'gentle giant', hence his nickname "Tiny", he'd only ever received 1 red card in his career up to that point and he was in his late 20's for this game. It was a genuine accident from a slow, cumbersome, clumsy defender, nothing more than that but the disgraceful witch hunt instigated by Wenger, which lead to Taylor getting death threats as far as Croatia, he didn't deserve that.
CLICHY made the team feel uncomfortable we never came close to a title since
I think Wenger was more frustrated cause he saw something like this coming we needed to spend more these times on quality and I guaranteed Arsenal would have won the league thatseason just wasn’t meant to me I guess
@TCPH Do you rememeber what Gallas try to do? The cameras seemed to miss most of it. I agree, Wenger could be a bit childish at times. Big defender vs small fragile attacker just an unfortunate collision.
To be fair, Wenger had experienced a few bad injuries. Ramsay was later but Abou Diaby was before, if I recall. It was often said that to beat Arsenal, you had to rough them up. So his outburst here had context.
you only need to kill someone once to be labeled a murder.. it was a ridiculous challenge and he should of been banned for as long as it took eduardo to get back fit.. even when eduardo was back you quite clearly see he wasn't the same player and hes trajectory as a player went down drastically .. and martin taylor was back within 3 games .. joke
It was a small mercy that it happened in Birmingham. Selly Oak hospital had one of the finest trauma units in the world
I remember watching this game as a 7 year old. I found the Eduardo injury traumatizing
😆😆😆 Poor you. I hope you've found the resilience & strength to move forward with the rest of your life & not allow it to hold you back 😆.
Pathetic gallas ,grown man near to tears because he didn’t get his own way ,the sheer arrogance Kro
After that Eduardo was never the same again...
His career went in ever decreasing circles.
Cuz of his broken leg
I do not understand why everyone is saying soft penalty or blaming Gallas for being upset. It was a brain dead moment from Gael Clichy that cost us the 3 points. All he had to do was clear the fucking ball
Games like this is why we shouldn't have sold Ashley Cole. Cole wouldn't have let us down in such a crucial part of the season like Clichy had.
Mate he wanted to leave. He went behind Wenger's back and talked with Chelsea DOF and Mourinho for which he was later sanctioned.

KRO. I was there and we didn’t know how bad it was initially. Not condoning any bad tackle but Arsenal have dished it out in the past too.
the day the banter started 😒
Is this the game Gallas sat on the pitch alone. I understand his pain Adebayor should have squared to Bendtner Infront of an empty goal. That was the turning point
Wenger - "any player that tackles one of our players should be banned for life"
Wenger " Our player never fouled , that was never a penalty "
Commentator to Wenger " What about that bad foul your player committed "
Wenger reply " I never saw it"
Commentator to Wenger "what about that penalty the opposition should have had "
Wenger reply "I never saw it "
Winger was a muppet and bad loser
Still a brutal game to watch.
It was clumsy from Taylor, but it was a shocker going studs up like that, and you just run the risk of a break against a side that played to feet.
Combined with us bottling the chances we had, and the dodgy decisions, this was the day we shot an albatross over the Emirates.
1-0 James McFadden (28 min)
1-1 Theo Walcott (49 min)
1-2 Theo Walcott (55 min)
2-2 James McFadden (90+5 min (PK))
this game is so sad, I have felt the same despair as when I watched it live
Will never watch it again
Wow the memories i was about 10 and first time i witnessed a leg break 😢
Coincidência ou não a partir dai o arsenal perdeu o campeonato apos a lesão do Eduardo da Silva.
I remember that mad moment it absolutely killed eduardos career he was really looking good as well for arsenal such a shame it messed me up seeing his foot hanging off his leg I remember crying I was like 13 at the time it was proper nasty if you watched it live
I was in the Tilton that day, I distinctly remember being aggrieved that it was a foul at all in the ground. I still maintain till this day it was a yellow card by the standard of the time, but the referee himself said he wasn’t going to give a card until he saw his leg broken. Wenger (understandably) took it too far saying he should never play again when it was a clear case of being a clumsy tackle from a tame af guy.
3 years later Birmingham beat arsenal in the carling cup final!wenger was a sore loser that day too.
Yeah fancy being angry after your player just had his ankle snapped
@@tomgarify difference between being angry and having a typical Wenger tantrum
And Birmingham got relegated the same year you win that
And Wenger went on to win the FA Cup on multiple occasions……where’s Birmingham?
For the people upset at Wenger in the comments, from Taylor's wiki: "In his post-match interview, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger called for a life ban for Taylor,[25] but retracted his remarks later that day, admitting they had been excessive and made in the heat of the moment."
ADEBAYORRR YOU SHOULD HAVE PASSED MANNNN FUCKK MY LIFE THIS SEASON BRINGS MORE HEARTBREAK
Fuck... here it is. Seriously, before even pressing play on this video, I remember everything about this match so clearly. Not just the Eduardo injury and the Gallas meltdown, but all the other crap that happened during this game. Clichy having a brain-fart, then giving away a penalty (that wasn't even a penalty), Adebayor not squaring to Bendtner, the pretty questionable award of their free-kick for the first goal, the most obvious shirt pull in the penalty area you're ever likely to see on Adebayor somehow not given. It's little wonder that this was the match where we started to unravel this season. One of our worst days I can think of since following the club.
Yep
What about Wembley 2011 ? Kro
the rules at the time were that if you took the player out REGARDLESS of whether you won the ball ...it was a foul. The Blues suffered the same at VILE park around that time also. So it was a penalty.
Going into that Birmingham game which Eduardo broke his leg in we had the opportunity to go 8 points clear as it was an early Saturday K:O on the 27th G/W before everyone else played.

I remember this day like it was last week. I heard about Eduardo's terrible injury on the radio travelling to play my own game, then hearing the score after the match. Everyone knew Arsenal had blown it that day. A very sweet season to be a United fan (football never been so good as those days - late '90s to early 2010s)
Adebayor shouldn't have been an Arsenal player. He did score goals but needed 10 chances to score 1.
Seriously one one BESTNER RIGHT THERE HEVSHOOT 1-3 game done
The game that finished arsenals title hopes
Mike Dean was practically marking Fabregas at times
The day we lost the League 😢😢 The moment Eduardo gone out of the season :(( we knew we bottle
I was at the game, not far from where the injury happened. There was no malicious intent at all, Eduardo was jsut way too quick for Taylor.
Wengers comments were disgusting regarding Taylor, and I hope he has finally retracted them. He tried his best to ruin the career of an honest professional.
Was great to finally get our revenge against him wining the Carling Cup in 2011 🙂
Clichy had too many brain fart moments. He messed up in the game against City before that which led to a goal and could've cost us points. I guess that might explain why Gallas was so pissed at him
He didn’t learn he was solid still February then lord idk what happened to him
8:21 this moment killed our season y did you cut your hair
Gallas knew what Will happen after this horror match
He was stripped off the armband
Yep
This was horrific 😲😲😲😲 I mean the injury
You wouldn't the likes of vieira or roy keane behaving like that they where true captains
WE SHOULD HAVE WON THE LEAGUE THAY YEAR FFS MANNNNNN THIS HURTSSD MAN
Where is lehmann
On the bench. You can see him there on Round 18 against Spurs.
They all should’ve just walked off after Eduardo was assaulted on national television. Birmingham are probably the most disgusting team/city in England, followed closely by Stoke Millwall and Leeds, don’t really understand how these clubs are allowed to continue operating tbh
Taylor was out of order... taking out starboy edurado... thanks to him for fcuking up arsenal charge to the title back then 😡🤬. Long live the Arsenal.... past.. present .. and future 👊🏾🤛🏾
3/4yrs earlier dint Keown deliberately assault Van Nistleroy 100×worse than Taylor's mistimed tackle, kept mouth shut then dint ya Wenger 🙀🙀
Blues doing blues stuff
Wtf was Clichy doing?
Cost us a titlr
He didn’t learn done the same vs city away luckily we won 1-3 he fucked
Arsene was so funny
What's wrong was with Clichy at 10:14mins
Wenger's comments were disgraceful. Saying that Matty Taylor should never play football was absolutely abhorrent. He was late and it was unfortunate. Wenger would've had him arrested for ABH ffs.
how is that a penalty
Pure accident ,Taylor wasn't a dirty player at all
Was a disgusting challenge

In football many injuries happen but opposing managers will always scream murder when against them , it was a accident and Arsenal have also committed tough tackles .
Birmningham had 10 men V 11 and they still struggled against a newish premier team , I like Wenger as a manager but he was wrong here , I think Arsenal are a overrated team nowadays and made many mistakes since getting rid of Wenger , Top 10 until you get new ownership or fiances change .
Am I right in saying they beat you in a cup ,this is definitely your bogey team .
Jonathan Pearce can’t stand his voice thank god he’s relegated to women’s football
Dirty Blues..as always
worst thing about it is that Taylor was surprised to get sent off and then complained to the ref... wtf
I was there mate, the tackle/foul seemed tame, until the ref saw the broken leg then came the red card. The ref said himself.
Wenger's comments came out of anger but were way over the top and thankfully he retracted what he said soon after.
Taylor was always a good clean player and even Bendtner who'd spent the previous season with us on loan from Arsenal defended Taylor's personality and record too.
It was a terrible error but I'm sure, not malicious.
As for the match, it was a great result for the Blues after going down to ten men early on.
Blues always had a great relationship with Arsenal during that period, with Larsson in that squad coming from Arsenal as well as Fabrice Muamba, and Bendtner the previous season, and Johan Djourou.
The only real let down was when Hleb joined us two or three seasons later.
That actually wasn't a foul by clichy
Excatly
Wenger talking out of his arse again
ZULU. There’s only one Martin Taylor a Blues legend
Absolute joke of a game in so many ways. Fiery Wenger interview was absolutely spot on too.
8:24 we lost it bedtner rufht dere
I know right Birnmingham had 10 players most of the game and were unlucky , Arsenal overrated and where are they now .. Wenger only sees what happens against his team everything else never seen .
KRO
Watching this again so many years later confirms my long held opinion that Wenger was a classless twat.
I remember watching MotD the following week and an Arsenal player did a far worse tackle but the other players foot didn't catch in the ground and he got up and walked away. That's football
Ok
Lineker loos boyish

Not 1 Arsenal player went for Taylor coz it was far worse than it looked, no malice at all #KRO

Bogey team eh
Your welcome 👍
A great laugh that day, loved Martin Taylor did the business 😂😂
And it all went south after this game. This was the best football playing team in wenger's era, deserved atleast one trophy. Really this analogy of 'if you want to beat arsenal, kick them around', really did had its consequences.
