The Return of Robert Pires

[hercalting]

i still remember that substitution...it made me cry...btw manchester united fan here...

[ruarihennessy1]

@hercalting u aint a united fan u moron

[TheNikolas995]

This shit made me cry!!!

[Jccx96]

what this tittle song ?

[eded3653]

i feel sorry for all the arsenal fans out there... you are better then this... you don't deserve to be sitting in 5th position... dare i say it but it looks like arsene wenger has lost his magic touch

[strop1997]

so...so....emotional...:')

[peeeko5]

notice how the best players in the world have normally played for the gunners :D

[kpro19]

i bet toure was so happy at 1:36

don't u agree???

[stambel9]

Pires is really a legend to the gunners..

Miss the old team of Arsenal..grew up with them..

RIP Arsenal Team 2000-2006

[justin8910]

unreal choice of music. infernal affairs + robert pires....win

[afrothunder327]

@Tangax337 you forgot lehmann and ashley cole

[Wowimobile]

I miss when i was a child and watched this, i couldnt stop crying when they lost :'(

[jarjajake]

man if i got subbed off so early in probably the biggest game of his life ... i would hav been really pissed off !!!

[lutfihambalimr]

ARSENAL FORWARD

[thegooners1886]

Pires forever in our hearts..I get fucking chills through my spine watching at this and remembering old Arsenal times..I was still a kid but I the thing I remember is how I supported Arsenal with my whole heart and soul..ARSENAL FOREVER

[peerawatth]

someday I will tell my son

he is my hero

[iByz92]

he gave his everything to arsenal... really..

[aliwazzatanveer]

coming from United fan ..

Pires is a Ledg..

I miss him 2 bits..

[metamofia]

Till this date, there are ppl who are criticising Wenger for subbing Pires out in the 06 final. Some even feel sorry for Pires on how his last game for us ended in the same game. I say QUIT IT! This lad gave his best years for us fans and it was an honour to watch him play and i can tell the next generation about it. Fantastic player, fantastic professional.

[Chirag14]

@metamofia

It was correct decision to sub Pires. He would have tired out with our 10 men out there. Even though we lost that game, I've never been so proud of Arsenal ever before.

[lynizile]

@Chirag14 dnt b a retard if anyone was to save that game it would hav been him, people dint realise it but that man made arsenal wrk!, as soon as he left some middle ground was lost!

[Chirag14]

@lynizile Lol, you're than one who is a retard. Are you telling me you would sub Ljungberg? Hleb? Hell no! We were playing with 10 men and they were a lot fitter than Pires at the time. If we left Pires on, he would have tired by half time.We did not lose that game due to lack of creativity. All players we had playing that day gave it their all. I suggest you watch the game again, No one was at Fault.

I cant even fault Lehmann, he was the main reason we were there in the first place.

[Chirag14]

@metamofia It was correct decision to sub him. He would have tired out by half time. I don't understand why people criticise Wenger for that.

Mental!

[dafredster210]

that hug with Toure is lovely :D

Pires - always an Arsenal legend :D

[melronsequeira]

I h8 this fuckin video coz he did not deserve this

[Overpopulationinfi]

When kolo and Robert hugged each other, it moved me to tears :'(. ARSENAL FOREVER

[Henry14arsenal2007]

Robert Pires looks a lot like Robb Flynn from Machine Head

[BurnoMawn]

Lehmann shouldnt have got sent off for that to be fair.... Referee made another biest decision for Barca

[85antoniosalazar]

@BurnoMawn I've seen that foul replayed hundreds of times. It's wishful thinking, he fouled Eto'o and deserved a red.

[mussehby]

@Tangax337 could not say it better :D the best players arsenal ever had :)

[skrbl1007]

Pure injustice and unforgivable for the way pires had to end hia career at Arsenal... why Mr Wenger of all players and on his very last game for the club?? And fuck you Lehmann..

[Chirag14]

@skrbl1007 Shut up you unloyal gooner.

Lehmann was the reason why we got to the final in the first place.

Clean sheet since the 3rd game from the group stage to the final.

[Jack1337Miller]

if lehmann didn't get sent off and pires stayed on the pitch, we would have won the champions league, and would have been a well deserved achievement for the best team that will ever walk this earth.....

RIP arsenal team 2000-2006

[MrTadhgMurphy]

@Jack1337Miller You should never say that about your club m8 .. Arsenal are back and I believe they WILL finish in the top 4 this season and beat the scum united in London.

Leeds Fan

[icemanfender1]

@Jack1337Miller the best team lives and works in Barcelona, Catalunya, and games are won by scoring goals

[vivekvardhan86]

@icemanfender1 : oh yes, they live in Catalunya and once a year, they get their asses whopped at The Emirates.. !! :D :D

stop dreaming and wake up.. !! the 2000-2006 Arsenal team, would have ripped apart the current Barcelona team.. mark my words - RIPPED APART.. !!

[3G4ZA]

@Jack1337Miller we will be back again

[StevilKnievelable]

ill never understand why he was subbed instead of hleb...

[rapha24mt]

Pires' departure from Arsenal started Arsenal's slump & trophy drought.

[LondonGamer986]

@Tangax337

Same, I miss all of those players, I also miss our proper home, Highbury.

[nadazat]

@LondonGamer986 The Times They are a changin, unfortunately. In Arséne we trust. I will never lose faith in him.

[SuperDazzleHD]

@Tangax337 Shame you can just about compete for 4th spot now lol

[rumsky1987]

1:35-1:48 = lthe team of 2003/2004 invincibles 

[MrXgamerz]

shame his talent is being wated at the moment but i believe he will return and this music for the vid made me cry :'(

[acoojl]

1:17 cry so hard

[6Swishhh9]

Worst mistake taking pires off in champions league final for anyone but almunia, COME ON!

[luzianski]

arsenal's best midfielder, ever..wish henry and he can stay till now, they will be legends..

BTW, song name please? thx!

[MrXgamerz]

pires and henry together what a team

[PurePoison9447]

01:38 "Remember when we won the league in Sp*ds stadium ?"

[PurePoison9447]

Why Piers gets out and not Hlep ? WHY ?

[UnholyVernonnais]

He will always be the legendary gunners in the proud history of the club. Never will he be forgotten of his contributions.

[eXodusVV]

There will never be another Bobby.

[azmirwhat]

where can we find another pires :(

[phongv]

I'm a United fan but cry when seeing this.

[harrybabar1]

Shouldn't have been taken off in the final in 06. Worst moment ever. WE could've,We wOuld've won it but besides that great player didnt deserve to have it end that way.

[jnyaycw1]

Awesome video. I feel emtional after watch this, great master always in our minds.

[TheBujarademi]

WHY THE MONEY CAN DESTROY ANYTHING FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS WORLD ?

[TheSmithersy]

He'll always be a Gunner. Considering he now has two apartments in Highbury as well

[Eric1DRose1]

pires was my fav player of all time, second was henry..

[pioneer1412]

@rfinn438 yeah, fabregas who was like 16 was playing and he took out pires...

[akenny01]

i love u pires!

[ghurthuk]

song name is "goodbye master goodbye" from Infernal affairs movie

[covanted]

We never forget legends!

[MrDJcelcius]

what song? so sad!!!!

[iByz92]

the substitution of pires in the final proved wenger has lost hope on veteran players from there on..

[toby8123000]

i cried

1:36 is so damn touching

also reminds me of martin luthur king's speech

"black and white join hands and become brothers"

[GuyUoliel]

song?

[Kapernakus07]

Look as an arsenal fan we were all sad to see pires subbed, but tactically this is the best decision wenger could of made.

[Callemos7]

1:36

[magiccatalyst]

I cried after I watched this.

[metamofia]

its such a shame how his career with arsenal ended against barca in his homeland. but hey Pires has always been a fan favourite for us with or without the gunner's jersey. his class is like his touch, perfect. i wish i can go 8 years back to watch him play and pwning tottenham like no one else can!

[ufckennedy]

very very sad video. Nearly as sad as the video of Henry saying goodbye to the arsenal fans

[ramseywilshere]

Hold on I realize he got substituted but why did all the fans look distraught and why did he aswell ?? Was it his last game ?? I'm arsenal fan yet I still don't understand

[TimeToDwell]

@ramseywilshere jesus, the guy was just brought off in a CL final. should he be overjoyed at this? any player would. as for the fans being distraught: maybe it was when we have just conceded the 2nd goal? i dont know. it did turn out to be his last game for us.

[ostime14]

i felt so bad for pires when he got subbed off, he didnt deserve it, an arsenal legend and will always be in the hearts of true arsenal fans

[mattbarden]

One thing about you Arsenal fans, your loyal to your own. Much respect there

[stevenaball333]

A true Arsenal legend.

[scafT]

what song is this? can anyone tell me? thanksss

[DesmondProductions]

@scafT goodbye master ;)

[Jimbobjojo]

I was very disappointed. When I saw my number on the fourth official’s board to be substituted, I couldn't believe it. It was my last game after six years at the club, a Champions League Final in front of all my family in Paris where I became World Cup champion and it lasted just 12 minutes. That was very hard to take".

[ThinkingAgent12]

@Jimbobjojo very sad indeed, i do think wenger shud have played him on more,

[parvusmagister]

Wenger should have taken off Fabregas on that final. Pires didn´t deserve to leave like that. I miss him a lot.

[retardedscarded]

why did they take off pires to begin with? instead of like that fool ashley cole or someone useless....pires was a vital asset to the invincibles

[wolzardo]

@retardedscarded should have took of hleb, although lehnman shouldnt have been sent off in the 1st place

[igatak1]

@wolzardo The substitution of Pires was part of the rules, if your keeper receive a red card the team has to loose their best player on the field and Pires was simply the best arsenal player on the field regardless of henry's presence. True legend

[TimeToDwell]

@igatak1 what are you talking about yYOU HAVE TO lose your best player? that's incorrect you fool.. If the keeper is red carded then of course you need to bring on another keeper at the expense of an out field player (i.e Pires). Wenger's decision was hard but he cant withdraw his main striker or a defender in such a vital game. It has to come from the midfield and against a midfield as powerful as barca's it had to come from the wing as center mid is crucial when v barca. u stupid????

[igatak1]

@wolzardo The substitution of Pires was part of the rules, if your keeper receive a red card the team has to loose their best player on the field and Pires was simply the best Arsenal player on the field regardless of Henry's presence. True legend

[markgazeley15]

pires is coming back he is training with arsenal in january return to where he belongs

[whitehawk38]

@markgazeley15 pires is like 50 years old. he wouldn't fit with arsenal's youth squad anymore.

[markgazeley15]

@whitehawk38 he is actually 35 derrrrrrrrrrr

[whitehawk38]

@markgazeley15 exaggeration much derrrr

[Jordan10AFC]

@markgazeley15 dont say derrrrr you fukin idiot hes 37

[cescsoo]

this music make me cry T^T

especially when pires replace by Almunia at the champions league final

[alxfnch91]

whats that song ?

[TimeToDwell]

Legend. still had so much to give. Excellent player. Great service. missed badly.

[twentyletternamesftw]

El bob!

[scaprslayer]

why don't we buy the invisibles back!

lehmann

toure

pires viera

henry!!!!!!

[8110bb]

i want him back at arsenal

[cvmango]

ATM he is training with arsenal!!!!

[theblacktippingpoint]

its so unfortunate that his career ended the way it did. im almost sure if pires stayed on arsenal would have been champs in 2006

[will3008]

Fucking love this guy. Sometimes people are just legends: Bergkamp, Henry, Ljungberg, Pires, Gilberto, EDUARDO you just love them.

[gara737]

come on arsenal...

get him back...

i would be happy if he plays 4 arsenal again

[leechomin]

Oh god this video made me cry. Pires ftw forever. His dedication to the club was second to none.

[KingZidane92]

i miss the arsenal

may they forever remain in our hearts

[museji]

The song name is Goodbye Master from the movie Infernal Affairs

[thome754]

snifffffffffffff

[Arshavin372]

song name?

[kingsofgrooove]

Never forget Bobby! Such a legend!

[MrMarchatton1]

so hard to see that cheating fck puyol lift the trophy

[dsouza5]

very emotional video guys...bobby always wanted to end his career at arsenal but u cant really blame him for leaving after that substitution, n u cant even blame wenger, must have tough for him as well to remove him but a brave decision nonetheless, so sad it had to end like that but wenger also apologized what else can u say...wenger is the most unluckiest coach in the history of football, if we dint have those annoying injuries all the time, this trophy drought wud not have been...

[winne1993]

:((((((,. he is more than a legend...

[notoriousnate123]

Tears came to my eyes after watching this video.

[nadazat]

Its tough to see this, i start cry fucking every time. Come back Pires, i love you with my whole heart.

[alanbstard4]

He's still good enough for the Gunners. Someone tell Wenger that. I'd like to see Pires and R V Nistelrooy both as gunners

they are getting on a bit but still have 1 or 2 seasons left

[kanenkitten]

@alanbstard4: As much as I'd love to see that, I believe that Wenger may end up bringing in Joe Cole. We don't really need V Nistelrooy as we now got Chamak

[Mensah9]

This video is emotional :-(

[JKarasu]

fucking barceshit...

[23Paulor]

wow i love it. beautifull video well doen to whoever made this it,s brillant great vid for a World class player amazing wenger got rid of him a bit 2 early i think. he was amazxing great memories

[sheriffcharif]

LEGEND!!!

[patrickchanning]

scum

[aimanmafia]

makes me wanna cry...

i miss u bobby...pires-henry best friends forever..

[TheErgo41]

so sad what happened to him in the final...

[stonecoldnwo]

from Infernal Affair, the Hong Kong movie. not sure about the name

[ujytjrtjt]

true sportsman ! im an arsenal fan and will never forget what a player he was

[Arsenal0fan]

[69flamez69]

[ice792]

The real legend. Always in our hearts and minds.

Arsenal for life!

[perem8]

He didn´t deserve to end up like this after a legendary Arsenal career. I will always love Robert Pires with my whole Arsenal heart!

[911waba]

@perem8 now he evevn doesnt play football for any club... :'(

[gogreenranger87]

first top i ever got had pires 7 on the back.......was also the last top i got........Pires.....god!!!

[doreenknox]

Thanks so much for posting this!! Excellent!!

Boy did I get misty eyed! When he was sacrificed the way he was it was awful!! Pires arsenal legend!

[SimenOfNorway1]

Legend!

[ascetonic]

what class he brought to the side...pure genius

[unkn0wngenius]

Arsenal should never have sold him.

[yogi94bear]

im not an arsenal fan, but i reckon if lehmann didnt get sent off, and pires had stayed on they wud hav won that game, pires coud hav, no sorry wud hav created some next amazing shit that surely hanry wud hav buried, cuz that is the way them two play with each other (footballing terms)

[kanenkitten]

Most of that match we were knocking 7 bells out of them, I totally agree that if Lehmann hadn't done what he did we would have killed that game off in the 1st half

[bobbysuger]

@yogi94bear, although in the end he WAS the right guy to be taken off as ljungberg was superb that game and created chances by himself 2-3 times. too bad ljungberg and henry both missed superb oppurtunities

[Xhoi23]

@yogi94bear for me wenger sacrificed the wrong player ;)

[vkmbs]

I feel so sorry for him coz he was pull out after only 18 mins of champions league final match which was in paris.. his whole family and friends were there.. it made his mind to leave us.. he is still a true arsenal player for me.. gr8 video..

[goonerLIFE1]

as i die hard arsenal fan i must say i almost teared lol . good video.

pires = legend

arsenal = legendary

arsenalFORlife

[cick08]

[moreish702]

[jayminreed]

God let us win the CL this year in order that we have new greatness.

[Uthic]

Man, poor guy looked crushed heading off the pitch.

[Enegyxo]

PIres was a legend and he is a superb player even now ... I think he was very disappointed when substituted on the final against Barcelona. I was surorised too. I thought Hleb will go ...

[cosmosvision]

What's the name of the song?

[koboi9]

the song's name is...goodbye master...it's an ost from hongkong movie's ...infernal affairs....watch?v=A0QtBZZvKE0

[RICKYMDOGG]

This video is perfect...really well put together mate. I watch it from time to time and still get goosebumps each time.

Whats the song called...anyone?

[wandarah]

aw, the kolo double hug. cute as.

[E60BMWM5]

Why did Wenger let him go? Do you have to let go everyone over 25? Then you expect trophies... Pires had sad ending of his Arsenal career for sure...

[arnav23]

The best arsenal ever had...unfortunately he had to leave....Long live arsenal and their heroes......

[makedonec19]

A real Gunner,a true legend

[Scarlett1126]

[kanenkitten]

Once a Gunner, Always a Gunner

(except for cashley cole)

[kjk4life]

and of course emmanuel ade-pay-me-more

[kanenkitten]

That will split ~The Gooner's opinion on weather we should have let him go or not

[No1ZeBoMB]

hahaha

[fz92]

*stands up and salutes*

[ant851114]

if we need experience players at the club sign pires and vieira back , and sol campbell, were gonna get injuries and they would be great to fill the gaps

[bluestarl]

na 2 old , we need omartins ,yaya toure ,a defencer bout 25

[kanenkitten]

I wonder if Kolo can convince his brother to come over here

[magestic99]

pires one of the most best old left wingers for arsenal .. miss him at arsenal .. was a fantastic player , just fantastic

[obada131]

pires you great

Farewell

[martini926]

FUCKING FUCK..

after Arsenal loss to Barcelona on last UEFA, i couldn't believe Pires is substitute with another player. fuck.

Pires, Henry, Lehmann, and etc etc is great teamwork man!

what the hell is wrong with Wenger anyway??

[ExtremeTvExperience]

1:37 - makes me remember why these 2 are my fav. players

[liamsharky]

Was it me, or did Gibbs get his shirt? If so, respect to Gibbs (as well as Pires obviously)

[kanenkitten]

indeed he did

[allinpryce]

no m8 i think it was Kolo Toure lol.

[Kanofly]

wow, thanks uploader, this was a great video 10/10.
