One of my favourite Rangers players of all time! Legend! I’m also a gooner so delighted he’s the gaffer! Born winner, he won’t give up until he wins the league for arsenal too!
You're a gooner? That's so awesome, how many games did you play?
Douchebag.
Likewise
love him as a celtic man hate that he played for the gers but love him to bits and agree with him not giving up until he wins with the gunners COYG
I was 13 and had a season ticket at Ibrox with my dad when Arteta signed
Credit to Mr. Wenger for signing him in the autumn of his Career.
When i was watching Scottish football is mid-late 90s,they had some worldclass players playing in the league and also start of the 2000s
They were all bought with money they didn't have. Now they're a different club. Don't get too teary-eyed about it all. They are cheats, and they've always been cheats.
Side point we invented football, the moving part of it anyway. So yeah we created the entire sport. You’d think the FA would’ve been kind to us when it was evolving into the modern standard. Now there’s a stigma that Scottish football is shite, it’s the exact same as every other league same few teams win it every time.
Then what happened 😂
@@GavinGavinGavinGavinGavinGaryfootball was invented in china, sorry to disappoint you 😬😬😬
@@GavinGavinGavinGavinGavinGary beat Real Madrid and then talk about how good your league is.
I believe his best football was played at Everton. Aggressive as hell, always in a fight but quality player.
Most people would agree with you I think
Leading Everton to a champions league place in that era was equivalent to winning a trophy
What a era! World class players at Rangers that were incredible 🇬🇧
Helped kill they club though so was it worth it?
@@derrythedog7928Raging Tarrier
Hate it or love it Mikel never backs down from a fight....always up for it....he maybe not the most skillful player we have seen but his leadership and passion is second to none
Klos what a goal keeper
Remember malloneys goal ?
@@derrythedog7928raging beast
What a story underrated playing career. He had a great one.
0:45 Howard from the Halifax ads presenting the league trophy to Rangers 🤨
Arteta was a very good player,Passing,Technical Ability,Tough,But Barry Ferguson had everything,In my opinion even though he went to Blackburn,He should have ended up at one of the elite clubs,That’s how good he was,
I dunno mate. Contrary to belief he done very well at Blackburn, injuries hampered him and he wanted back at Rangers. I always believed that at 18 he was better than Gerrard and Lampard, his performances in Europe against Effenberg, Van Bommel and with Scotland against Ince were as complete as I have seen from an under 21 midfielder until Bellingham. He never really progressed from that, to the point it seems a bit silly mentioning him with that trio. But at that age period alone, it aint as stupid as first appears. Another Paul Mcstay, hung around too long for the love of their club
Really? Barry Ferguson?
overall a great player and a humble man and a fantastic footballing brain people forget that h e used to be once a great footballer just because he's Arsenal's manager today now can you say that about anyone that plays in the Premier League today
Haha Numan's telling of the final day is hilarious . I was actually sitting in the Govan front, Row B just at the halfway line that season and Numan was on that side second half and he kept asking the fans what was happening haha
Why didn’t the all chip in and pay the taxes ??
He was so class for rangers mikel was back in the good old days we had one class team then to and big eck to was the manager to
Then what happened ?
Both got paid money they couldn’t afford and didn’t pay taxes and the tax man sent them to the executioner’s chair
He had an absolute class game in that PSG v Rangers tie, memories
The game in Paris was brilliant. One of the best 0-0's ever. So many star players on both sides. Have a look, it's on UA-cam.
Only reason im here is because of Mikels hair in the thumbnail
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
If Lego men played football
faguette
Let's hope the two scottish clubs can get back to being more competitive in Europe. Also that Rangers wins in the Europa league tonight.
Aye Celtic & Hibs
💚💛
@@Searchsurfer-e8i 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@craigieboyy9684 😂
Yep, top 8 in the Europa league and straight through! WATP!!!!
Celtic win in Europe? Bratislava and Zagreb maybe, but beat a strong team, no chance!
Numan has barely aged.
I was 10 when we signed him, was the player of the year and won us the league with the last kick of the ball.
2004 SPL had Larsson, Arteta, De Boer 🔥🔥
2002/03
2004 SPL had ronald de boer, frank de boer, larsson
With the main man Sutton leading the way !
Absolutely insane that that rangers team had the De Boer twins and Mikel Arteta in the midfield.
Easy done if you dodge the tax man and wave millions in player's faces. But the piper always needs payed and the piper stops people thinking they can be king . Excuse the pun
0:45 isn’t that the bloke from the old Halifax adverts? Haha
That is indeed Howard 😂
Top video... apart from the clapping thing 👏
aye extremely cringey good video though
Simply the best better than all the rest stuck on my heart 😊🔴⚪🔵
Won us the league in 2002 last game , hopefully manages us one day
Then say bye bye to winning anything significant.......
They dont do that now anyway🤣😭@TheOfficialGobbledyGooker
@TheOfficialGobbledyGookerhe’s in his early forties and his first manager job and you’re writing him off ever winning anything big??
You can have him after we four peat the quadruple lol
It was 2003. Also, if he missed that penalty we still won the league anyway. But still, he was class
Thanks fi the great memories mikel and the team 😊
Barry Ferguson was the best player up north. He came to England and couldn't cope
Love these transfer stories. Fantastic
hopefully arsenal win the CL and rangers EL and we get a super cup final then arteta comes to rangers as manager and we sign another barca gem i can see it happening
I like your thinking🎉🎉
Not so much optimistic just the best possible outcome 🙏
MAKE US DREAM 🇬🇧
Duck advocate built the most exciting fast attacking football I've ever seen at Rangers ,gutted when he left absalutley gutted ,
Great work! Humility in your comedy is impressive.
Nice work Sky it's great to see you uploading some quality content which shows you can do it when you want to instead of the easy click bait rubbish.
Fantastic video updating me on some of Rangers fantastic history. I was aware of Rangers doing well at this time but my own club was on the rise around the same time so I was distracted with my own clubs success which is why I missed some of the details that contributed to Rangers doing so well in that time frame. So I very much appreciate this video.
He was gd at Rangers for sure,he never set the world alight but was gd.He matured well,dropped abit deeper on the pitch and that suited him more so in the prem.
Back when rangers where a force to be reckoned with
This is when they were breaking every financial regulation. Cheating for over a decade.
With a team bought with money they never had, no bloody wonder 😂😂😂
@ajorngjdonaydbr, A bolt of lightning just flew out my finger and hit my dog trying to say your name, he’s dead now, thanks.
@@Yurzah You've had better days.
@@phantom.troupe.00 so have you buddy
Legend 🔴⚪️🔵
No Rangers fan wants to watch a Rangers documentary which has Chris Sutton in it within the first few minutes. Sky Sports once again showing that they have no awareness of the Scottish game 👍
I don’t think it is a Rangers documentary….
@ Is your brain working OK? It’s quite clearly a documentary on “how Rangers signed Mikel Arteta from Barcelona”, the title says so. It’d be like making a documentary about how Henrik Larsson signed for Celtic and putting Kris Boyd in the first 30 seconds. Somehow, as stupid as Sky Sports are, I’m not sure they’d even be that stupid.
Grow Up!
Arteta was brilliant with rangers 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
“And I yam so handsome.”
Always found it strange that he left us for so little (1.5 million, cost 6m) and that not many seemed interested in him. Went to Sociedad. When Everton signed him was working down south with a blue who didnt know too much about him. Told him he will thrive down there
It was a time when Spanish midfielders of his type were not really used in the premier league Fabregas was just the first really and he was a free from Barca academy
I really was happy when Arsenal signed him, but I thought we should have signed 2 years earlier when he was at his peak.
That was a great program, should do more on that era as it was fukin excellent
This is awesome!❤
What a team we had!
Artteta always reminded me of a vampire with lego hair for some reason
What a character Mikel is, was a leader as a player and now a magnificent manager and a father figure for the boys, don’t stop backing him up and the boys, lad! COYG ❤🤍
Magnificent manager with no trophies for 4 consecutive years
@ do i sense jealousy?
He literally turned one of the youngest squads into a super team top 3 in UCL and second in the league, the best is yet to come for Arteta and the boys, keep on hating fella
@@SvobodenBrat33 arsenal have to win trophies in order for me to be jealous 🤣
@ mate, you commented “Liverpool are finished” 6 months ago on a video before the season started, you obviously have 0 football understanding and knowledge and just write hateful baiting comments because your life is miserable and you put the negative energy from it on the internet, bum 😭🤣
@@SvobodenBrat33 and you have no understanding if you think arteta is gonna win titles with arsenal
That was nostalgic.... Wow
🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 you were amazing player for Glasgow Rangers arteta 💯‼️👍 Alex amazing manager 💯‼️🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
He played during a time when Spain had their best midfielders but a prime Arteta would get into this Spain team now
Cracking video, I love you Rangers
Arteta Commandernent(Commander)🔥👏👏👏
He never talks about his time at Everton anymore, will a video be done on that?
Before the real height of the EPL financially Rangers could still compete with transfers and wages etc, made some great signings from Europes elite,
My Man!! COYG!! cheers gaffa!!
Your trophyless man
Could have made this ten seconds long by just saying "EBT". Thats how rangers signed him, along with all their top players. Used money they didnt have. Some people call it cheating. Either way it eventually killed Rangers.
And won them titles that you still seem to be crying about after all these years
@TastyChickenWing Who is crying? He won them more than a few titles, they won cups and competed in the champions league as well. Rangers managed to sign him due to a tax avoidance scheme. Not what's in this video.
@@David-r8d6oCeltic used EBT as well.
@@KyloNightonce and properly and never again
@@KyloNightsee really the fact you've said that means you are ignoring the facts and making your own version of history up
This is a great series, much better than other overdramatic efforts from sky. Watching every contributor do a clap gets annoying after a while though.
Nice to see Sutton admit it as Quailty as he was in old firm games he wasn’t at his best cause they just kicked him out game
He was a baller for us at the famous
Sad timmies on here raging 😂 Rangers were cleared on the EBT case, they were judged to be legal.
Bought with EBTs 😂😂
What's your point, caller ?
Have a look into Juninho , Robbie and Roy Keanes ''contracts'' or the ''film'' contracts you paid Martin O'Neill's squad with
Would love to see him in the dug out. After big Phil wins the league and turns us around lol.
He should go back to Rangers, maybe than he will win the League
The best manager
At winning nothing
@@blue_red_screenhe’s already won an FA cup champ
@@dan7972-k9m meant past 4 years 🤦♂️
@@blue_red_screenmoving the goalpost 🙄
Should’ve asked him if he knew what an EBT is.
Would love to see him in the dug out. After big Phil wins the league and turns us around lol. It's mental to think I hated larson he was so good. It's took me 20 years to say that lol. The golden year's we didn't realise what we where watching.
Fed up with articles of rangers signing people while they were cheating
EBT signing
Treble winner; WATP! 🇬🇧
Spoiler alert “rangers eventually died in 2012”😂😂😂
Is that a spoiler or a lie? 😄
We will always be Rangers and you will always be a hoard of bheasts 💯
Barry ''Listen'' Ferguson
Should of asked him about what the red bit in the soaks means
Remember the big Eck era well the first rangers team i followed
''remember it well '' ? get this patter in the bin. You remember it. End of.
@CraigWeir-q5v naw I remember it well, I have fond memories of this era
@ No - you remember parts of it. Nobody remembers a full season from 23 years ago ''well''.
See this ''I remember it well'' - get it i the bin
I don’t remember Arteta being that good to be honest
Why is the Halifax man presenting the trophy
Arsenal's best panic buys Arteta and BFG
🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Barry Ferguson Glasgow Rangers Legend WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
What is it with Mediterranean genes?
I mean. So many Spanish and Italian players don't really age. Ofc you can see they are older, or younger - as Arteta in this vid.
But he looks as cracking now that he did then , doesn't he?
My gaffer ❤
More La Masia players need to follow Mikel's example. Unless you're a generational talent, you're never getting a look in in Barca's team. Go to a smaller (sorry Scotland) European league and show what you can do. Dani Olmo is a more recent example. Would he be a starter for Barca now if he didn't move to Croatia and hung around La Masia instead? I doubt it.
How many good Barca players have gone unnoticed because they left it too late to move or moved to the wrong club?
It had nothing to do with tax free wages
Is this really worthy of a Sky production? Scraping the barrel.
Cmon Bazza even the hand clap was dull. Cheer up mate ffs
Rangers had some ballers and household names in their team in the 90s and early 2000s. And today they have Cyril and Jeste and players from Albania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova etc lol 😂
Not got any of the last 3 you listed but okay
Class video, but the whole clap thing is so cheesy
Come on PSG under Laurent Perpere back then was no where a big club as they are in modern day football
Olympique Lyon were the big boys dominating the farmers league back then
Rangers and Arsenal already have a history of friendship but Arteta has solidified that. ♥️🤝💙
right up till Craig sold the shares
Whats the clap about?
I think we should try sign Barcelona players again 👌😂
what counts as a treble in the scottish league?
The league ,league cup and Scottish cup
@@LennonTG thanks for the clarification!. I thought the treble included the champions league also. good to know :)
@ If a European trophy is won and 2 of the 3 possible domestic trophies it would still be a treble but the chances of a Scottish team winning in a European competition are slim to be fair
No mention of robbing the taxman to pay for mikel and the likes 😂😂😂😂
No word of your own owners avoiding paying tax or your ex players.
Why would they mention that? It's all nonsense. We were simply a better team than you lot at the time. It's been 20 years, get over it...
Maybe he will come back to manage 1 day
So please to learn dis on my Manager ❤
You must be a child if you didn't know his past
@@winnersclub6836 nothing wrong with that
@winnersclub6836 what's wrong with being a child? I mean, u were once a child too 🤷
Mikel Arteta is your manager?! Why do you need managing? Are you a wrestler from the 80's?
This is overhyped nonsense , Arteta was ok at Rangers nothing great. Ferguson was miles better at the time. He went on to have a great career but no way was he as good as some of the nonsense spouted on here.
Why are Hannah and Sutton even involved in this ?
EBT ???
At that time 😂, was that before the died Ronald ? Did you help kill the gers ?
Tax dod gers ! 💚💛
Who’s this brother talking 100 miles an hour
Who's Arteeeta?
It’s called an EBT
22 minutes to explain EBT...
It would be nice if he had sent a few loans to Ibrox
Would live have him back some time as manager , in saying that id take anyone over clement
