God will never forget that day, still remember that moment like it was yesterday. One of my all time great memories as an Arsenal fan. Bould putting Adams through to score, just showed you what our new football was about.
Good times.
Former Arsenal Players Thread
RocktheCasbah Something I just saw on my twitter timeline, the above clip does not have the original Tyler commentary on it. I am guessing due to copyright issues they are using a dubbed on version, the original one is below.
JazzG oh wow, hadn't noticed that at all but it sticks out like a sore thumb now you've pointed it out. Thinking about it, I always remember Tyler saying "put through by Steve Bould..."
The other weird one is when you see Overmars goal at Old Trafford, that generally seems not to have the original comms on it either now.
Twitter seems to think it might be copyright issue but yeah once you've heard the original it defo sticks out like a sore thumb. I heard the version you attached a few years ago and remember thinking I was going a bit mad because in my head I remembered it sounded different.
This is something I learned the hard way. If it's in the same class, it doesn't matter if its slightly different, it will be successfully challenged.

Another one with the original commentary changed!

This was so amazing.
How great would it be if we had Declan Rice or Saka doing something like this against Everton on the last day again. Not Mr. Arsenal yet either of them but do it in a title winning cause and they will stake a claim.
Rohit well, I suppose it could be said Saka is Master Arsenal...
Had no idea...
Bit of a weird one. Lehmann has bought the trademark to 'the Invincibles' because apparently we didn't have it.
invisibleman18 Jens to the watching world: yes, I am in fact still mad. Curious to see how much buy-in from the 03–04 squad he's able to get for his money-spinning plan.
Pires with his trademark lob at the age of 50 years old. Classy as ever.
Sneijder size...
Rivaldo's accuracy is incredible
Wrighty really knows ball
If Wrighty had been a poster on this forum, he'd have been laughed out of here.
We'd have 6 titles by now if we'd taken Vieira like I wanted.
RocktheCasbah We took Emery instead though...
Who knows what would have happened if we took Arteta back then

I think working under Pep for a bit longer didn't do Mikel any harm!
Also sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before tough decisions are made. We were at rock bottom and had big expensive decisions to make and the club backed him.
Replacing an institution-defining leader is almost always an impossible task in the short term. We needed a transitional manager. I will always be fond of Emery for having filled that role honorably.
Worth adding that the club's internal hierarchy was such a hot mess that any manager was set up to fail. Not sure Arteta would have been much more (if at all) successful at that point.
The only thing in his favour is his more assertive force of will but not sure that would have been enough to wrangle things into place at that point.
