Arsenal vs Man United - THAT penalty miss by McClair

[whitt45]

how can you hide whilst lying on the ground being kicked by two utd players ?

[Zorg2006]

I was right at the front, yards away from the fight at Old Trafford a couple of years later. Seeing Winterburn absolutely shit himself hiding behind his mates was hilarious.

[whitt45]

@Zorg2006 u were there er doesnt sould like it winterburn in that fight was on the ground being kicked by a utd player after he went down, this sparked a massive ruck which only schmeical and seaman werent involved in, Arsenal won the game and got deducted 2 points still won the league as well, nothing changed utd still have refs in their pockets and still cheat

[Zorg2006]

@whitt45 Schmeichel didn't play for United then, you utter clown. I was right in front of it, Winterburn did his usual trick of hiding behind everyone else (see 'Di Canio').

[masstransit2]

Winterburn wasn't goading him for missing the penalty. If you southen muppets knew your history (Instead of becoming an Arsenal supporter when they were winning stuff) you would know he was goading him while he was preparing to take it. I remember my mate punching a 13 year old after this game outside Highbury. Out of order yes but highly fuckin funny

[awowsmatow]

I remember being a 7 year old watching this game on rte.The first game i remember as a united fan.Though we lost,as we frequently did back then,i was hooked forever.Must admit though i was almost certain that the camera angle was from the other side of the pitch.(i.e mcClair kicked peno from left to right as we look)Maybe it was just my tiny little mind not deciphering the right angle but what the heck was a cracking game.

[deceived81]

bring back the 'SHARP' man united!!

[oootrain]

3 people are united scum!!!:D

[robynandsammigooner]

wheres that 1990 brew up on pitch put it on my wall :) i was 16 then i think remember that was fat :D

[Nearcoable]

You're username is apt twat.

[twatwatwat]

The fact of the matter is Brian McClair is, and always was, a first class cunt

[masstransit2]

@twatwatwat

Winterburn is a bigger cunt. The season after McLair grabbed the downs syndrome lookin cunt by the throat right in front of me at OT and Donkey Adams scored 2 goals in a 1-1 draw

[twatwatwat]

@masstransit2 you clearly know a thing or two about being a cunt. Hats off to you.

[masstransit2]

@twatwatwat

As do you, In fact you win, I defer to your superior cuntushness

[twatwatwat]

@masstransit2 I think it's cuntishness not cuntushness, but I accept your deferral

[MultiRedPIG]

Actually a number of you have this wrong. Rocastle was sent off at Old Trafford in 1986-87 season, Brian McClair was still at Celtic at that time and Winterburn was at Wimbledon. Whiteside & co. kicked Arsenal off the park that day and as a result ended our club record unbeaten run (as it was at the time) and David O'Leary called the animals after the game. THIS fantastic miss was the start of the trouble which bubbled up again in 1990.

[bigjackie01]

wineterburn was a shitebag. (if you dont know what i mean see the flinch when di canio pushes over the referee) also hes ugly as fuck.

[TroyConvers5000]

Brian Moore RIP, The Best there Was, The Best There Ever Will be.

[todaytonight1]

Winterburn was out of order & this was the start of the bad blood, Rocastle at Old Trafford was 91, almost 3 years later, you muppet.

Winterburn shit himself when faced with Keane in later years & even ran away when

mouthing off to Paolo Di Canio & he thought he was going to get a smack.

[JimmyatHighbury]

I was 16 and standing smack in the middle of the North Bank, I can still remember to this day the amount of whistling and booing as he stepped up to take it. I've been to around 400 Arsenal games and this is definitely a top 10 moment for me.

[MultiRedPIG]

@JimmyatHighbury Yeah a real highlight for me too. I was only 14 so was standing in the junior Gunners section. One of the best atmosphere's Iand biggest crowds I was ever in at Highbury. 15,000 or so Man United fans played their part. Funnily enough just a few days later another massive crowd and amazing atmosphere when we beat Everton 3-1 in the 2nd leg of the Littlewoods cup to get to the final. Great days. I loved the early years of the George Graham era.

[TwistedTowerDire]

As for McClair starting all this hoo ha, I can't see it. McClair has always been a good professional apart from these Arsenal matches. I'll wager Rocastle started dishing it out and MClair was seeking retribution.

[sexystevieboi1]

Great day in footballing history that was the day when the man utd and arsenal rivalry started

[binnybay]

I was in the Clock End for this game. It was packed! Still can't believe he missed that penalty. :-(

[Leggsy]

I cant remember for sure but it probably wasnt all ticket so pay in at the door ,loads of UTD as could be4 expected but the section nearer Avenall road had loads of Arsenal in it !

[kevinbourn71]

Chas015,

The clock end was shown earlier in the clip and it is absolutely rammed. I remember getting crushed a few times that night, especially when an arsenal steward put his foot into this young kids chest who was rying to climb out cos he was getting crushed. He botted him back in than got mobbed by loads of UTD who gave him a right slap.

[kevinbourn71]

I was at this game and remember it well. Was gutted at Choccy's miss but we got our own back the next year with "The Highbury Massacre 6-2". What a night that was!!!! I remember Arse fans coming out of the north bank burning their scarves!!

[chas015]

Ermmm he missed it into the North Bank  there was Mancs there but nowhere near the amount you claim You had less than half the Clock End EIE Gooner forever

[Hardysamnin]

Winterburn is a fucking pussy, always was, always will be.

[steveN111333]

What was all the afters about ?

0:48 it looks like the ref' is spoiling for a fight !!! lol then the arsenal players start shoving each other !! WTF !!

[Moss235]

@steveN111333 This was the moment that the rivalry started between these two teams, culminating in the Van Nistlerooy incident a few years ago, Arsenal have always been a very aggressive team in every era

[ZhanTaoF]

wat was the overall score of this match

[GoonerAli]

5 STAR. 30.01.2010. GOOD OLD ARSENAL.

[klhighbury]

YNWA

Invincibles? lol

Why'lol' is that the kind of embarassing laughter a kid does when he's been found out?

wtf? when you go a season unbeaten, get back to us....

[guyrocks]

@klhighbury

Not every team can have players who dive against Portsmouth rofl.

[klhighbury]

@guyrocks - that was a thing of beauty

hahaha

[NOVAakaYNWA]

lol invincibles? Where's your treble or even your European Cup

[freddie8]

your club are bankrupt

[NOVAakaYNWA]

Not bankrupt and becareful because when Uzmanov or Kroenke take over at yours, it could be you next.

I support United but I wasn't happy to see Leeds end up the way they are, nothing good about seeing strong English clubs go down the shitter

[rickrenny]

no we're not, you're an idiot, obviously.

[steponitbill]

This was my first Arsenal game.

[igloiz]

same old shit manchester united. it wouldent matter if he had score, they never be better than arsenal.

[nattydress]

I hear that ball is still orbiting earth. Nice one, choccy! As for the size of the away following, a quarter of the capacity is for the visitors, so must've been 14-15,000 united in the 54,000 crowd.

[yortsandthat]

15,000 away support is impressive, however aint too bad a journey home as they all live around the corner.

[Wigster789]

@wankersmassive2...wanker, indeed you are. and, wow, you won it at OT. How many league titles do you have in comparison to United?

[loderchris]

Winterburn is giving it some as usual.

[wankersmassive2]

arsenal take the piss as usual!

[bongobeebit]

big deal, keep ur championship shit trophy! who's won more since 1991?!

[wankersmassive2]

whos won the league at old trafford?

have u ever won the league at highbury?

AV U FUCK

[bongobeebit]

err we've won the league at old trafford! this year incase u didnt notice it was against ur scummy lot! No one can win at highbury! it dont exist anymore u pillock! av u eva won the CL? HAVE U FUCK!

[wankersmassive2]

haha u weren't good enough to beat us to win the league last season - you were left to hang on for a point as we totally outplayed u!

[bongobeebit]

irrelevant! did u stop us? no! did we score a perfectly good goal? yes! where did u finish? 4th! even liverpool finished above u!

[SugerBoyMo]

Have you ever knocked us out of a european competion? Who out played arsenal in last season champions league semi final?

Braaaaaaaaa

[wankersmassive2]

yeah well done for beating us in the semsi, but you still weren't good enough to win it by beating barca!

btw...have u ever beat us in a cup final?

HAVE U FUCK

sunderland 79, vieira 05

[SugerBoyMo]

Man Utd 2 Arsenal 1

ROOOONEY  ROONEY

Wenger got sent off into the stands with all the Mancunians taunting him LMFAO

BRAAAAAAAAAAA

[wankersmassive2]

lmaoooooo

relying on own goals and dodgy penos to beat us!

haha we outplayed u and outsung u AGAIN!

[arc20051]

Have you ever beat us in a Semi Final? Whiteside '83, GIGGS '99 and Scholes '04. Btw united are far superior to Arsenal in Europe and have been since 1957. Arsenal isn't even a top club anymore!

[tomwalker07]

Shut up you prick, why not go back to Surrey or fucking Japan.

We haven't beaten you in many semis but we've beaten you in enough finals - 2005 with all those shots you had, 1979 with Sunderland.

[arc20051]

Did I hurt your feelings? I feel guilty now.

[tomwalker07]

Yeah, like some kiwi prick could upset me.

[arc20051]

Just for the record I am English born and raised. Nevermind, I don't hold it against you. You can't help being a thick as shit cockney cunt! Go to bed you wanker it must be close to midnight in England. Get a life, I bet you're drunk and miserable.

[tomwalker07]

Who's the one with hurt feelings now. No need to justify yourself to me, get back to fucking sheep in the Wales of the south.

[squirestew4u]

@arc20051 Where are your invincibles?

[arc20051]

That I do give you credit for. That was special.

[squirestew4u]

@arc20051 I take my insult back and apologize.

[ronyeats]

id forgotten what a twat winterburn was. a total coward of as man. always looking to go toe to toe but would back off when the other stood their ground. re crapping when he started on di canio at sfeff wed. enjoyed the footage though,footbasll was brilliant then. even the library had a good atmosphere

[finka1]

I was there that day. The noise and atmosphere that day was immense.

[rdw1970]

Thanks AFCGuildford - you really have posted some real gems and great memories. Takes me back to when I used to go the Arsenal all the time. Look how packed the clock end was. Id say the old trafford game and that pen miss shaped the rivalry beteen us and Utd right up to the present day. Was never a problem with them before that season!

[thesamuelthomasshow9]

haha, come on arsenal

[zander469]

I remember watching this on TV, i was 13, what a miss.

[Evemeister12]

Who's that dying on the runway?

[stevenzgorac]

mcclair - that fucking ball ended up in my garden. shame it didn't go up frenchkids mum's pussy. that way the dumb cunt would never have been shat on this earth.

[frenchkids]

What is it with that fucking Cunt Winterburn? He shat his pants with Di Canio and 'That' sending off. And now he's giving McClair a hard time. Arsenal are full of these types of players that lack professionalism at the highest level. They let their petty, childlike emotions spill out on the field of play. I'm glad that the era of Winterburn and Keown is now over.

[BukowskiPineapple]

You obviously no fuck all about the history between these two players.

McClair kicked the bejaysus out of David Rocastle at the league game up at OT in this season. Rocastle then got sent off in the game because Whiteside rolled around on the ground after a tackle by him.

McClair though baited Rocastle as he went off the park. Something along the lines of " you can't take a kicking."

Winterburn was just letting him know " you can kick fuck out us but you can't take a penno you useless cunt."

[rdw1970]

well said mate - couldn't have put it better myself.

[bongobeebit]

4-1 mate! Winterburn is a pussy as is monkeyface Keown, see Ballack has been watching monkey face keown chimoing about! I take it u were on the pitch when they said all this?! Mcalir got him back at the battle of OT in 1990! good on choccy!

[BukowskiPineapple]

He got him back and then had the head punched off him by the entire Arsenal team.

What I'd give for a few of those lads to be around today. We were shocking bad against you lot over the two legs. No fight or character in the team.

Good luck against Barca.

No offense but I hope they stuff ya ! :)

[bongobeebit]

yeah that was funny and then every1 else decided to get involved, doesnt surprise me u want Barca to win, Id be the same if the boot was on the other foot

[bongobeebit]

jealousy!

[wankersmassive2]

got him back? hardly mate, we won that game 1-0, had 2 points deducted and still won the fucking league! u can stick your fuckin 2 points up your arse

[bongobeebit]

yeah and that ball never crossed the line! Sealey saved it!

[SpawnofChaos2010]

@BukowskiPineapple LMFAO dude that was awesome - Go Gunners!! =)

[96liverpoolfc96]

omg what a miss LOL

[apublicsectorpension]

12,000 united fans and we had the piss taken out of us all the way back to the tube!

even by the coppers

[wungabunga]

I was there too, we took 20 thousand, loads locked outside. It was weird outside, massive queues, didn't see any trouble but really tense between the fans. All of a sudden two lads in West Ham scarves and hats came walking through without a care in the world. Very strange and brave as fuck!

[rdw1970]

i was there in the north bank and there were a lot of utd that day but 20k is a slight exaggeration. You didn't have the whole clock end as there were arsenal in 1 corner if I remember rightly.

[wungabunga]

You're quite right but I was talking about those locked out as well - the chancers!

[pboys007007]

this is so old now was the point of hving it on utube

[alternativeego]

Shut up you soft prick!!

[2puttking]

no we dont have any european cups mcmap..but we didnt have some cunt who was given another chance of life with a liver transplant and still went on the piss...fucking best..cunt more like!

[bongobeebit]

Choccy = Legend

Winterburn = Pussy

Love how Choccy gets his own back on that pussy in the brawl of Sep 1990!

[pgl0897]

by kicking him when his down on the floor, like the dirty coward he was??

You can stick ya fucking 2 points up yer arse! *CHAMPIONS*

[bongobeebit]

Winterburn is a pussy! he thinks he's hard but hes a chicken shite 1st Chcoccy smashed him, then he tried to square up to Di Canio, all Di Canio had to do was flinch at him and he shit himself! Pussy

Err? Champions?! Oh u mean in 91 in a League that now has the likes of Cardiff and Burnley?! Oh u cant even bt Cardiff!!!!

[BukowskiPineapple]

You're a bit thick aren't ya ? Even though it was called the first division it was still the top flight of English football. Sky rebranded it, but's still a valuable trophy. You gonna tell me that the likes of Best, Charlton, Giles, Daglish, Rush all won a league that is comparable to the current league one ?

Winterburn is reacting here to McClair winding up Rocastle at the OT league game.

I personally love it when games have a needle like this to them.

[bongobeebit]

u r the thicko! Sky rebranded it?!u berk! go do some research, dont give me this oh it was better in my day with all the names you've brought up! different era different type of football!

[peterbusby190367]

Get your facts right - the Rocastle sending off was in 1986/7. McClair joined Uniited in 1987/88

United did have the whole Clock End - I know I was there. It was a lock out by about 2pm

Football pre Sky 3pm Saturday afternoon pay on the gate standing

Now would be scheduled at 1245 for teh Far East

[aykaymusic]

I'd have twatted Winterburn

[mcmap]

were is the arsenal this season??. Nowere. How many european cups you got??

[notaperm]

again with the spelling...is there not a nice southerner you know who could type for you?

[mcmap]

I can spell badly at times i know that but at the end of the day when have Arsenal ever won the Champions league??

[notaperm]

Lovely, haven't seen that for years. I was in the north bank. It was a bit of revenge for being kicked off the park by Whiteside & co in the 83 semi final. He was a nice bloke that Whiteside. Nigel Winterburn taking the mickey out of Brian Mclair is hilarious. That penalty is as bad as any I ever saw at Highbury. I miss the old ground, half of Surrey in the Clock End with half of North London in the north bank, happy days.

[apublicsectorpension]

shame both grounds are shite now.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Used to like going to highbury when you had fans! not "footy fans.

[abanese]

the day where arsenal still "english"

[zzzaaa0990]

Great stuff by Brian McClair,really good.

[ThierryHenry1441]

why is it always 2-1 hahaha lol

[davidronaldp]

Winterburn what a wanker

[LeftSideStretfordEnd]

Look how rammed the Clock End is 16,000 United there easy

[AFCGuildford]

The biggest away support I've seen at the old lady,ighbury. Not sure about 16,000 easy but it was certainly not far off that.

Celtic for O'learys testamonial in 86 & Plymouth in the FA Cup in 87 brought 12,000,in days when some clubs like West Brom brought 300 for a Saturday league game.

You had 7/8ths of the Clock End the far section was Arsenal but you did have a shit load in the West Lower seats as well.

The crowd that day was 54,000.

Respect to those that were there.

[BORROVAN26]

@LeftSideStretfordEnd to be fair, they didn't have far to travel.

[abedishot]

@LeftSideStretfordEnd fuck off u glory hunting cunt. united had no support back when u were winning fuck all.

[LeftSideStretfordEnd]

@abedishot

We've had the highest crowds in the country for the last forty odd years you know-nothing prick. never mond that though mongo, just keep showing yourself up.

[TwistedTowerDire]

@abedishot "united had no support when we winning fuck all". HAHA you fucking cockney retard. We're renowned for still having high support whenever we go through lean periods far more than you hasbeens. Quit lashing out just because Wenger's lost the plot and you've won fuck all for 5 years you whiny prick...

[liamwitdre]

ARSENAL 2-1 MAN UNITED

AS OF 8/11/08

[doctorbuzzard10]

your right arsenal had the corner , i was in the united section next to it. at the end one of the arsenal fans climbed up the fence and was just smiling and laughing, giving the thumbs up, i can still picture him now! funny that 18 months later in an arsenal - united game at highbury we only took two sections. i think we lost 3-1, awful united side. the crowds and atmosphere wasnt always great in the 80's, but when it was good, especially night games, nothing nowadays can compare.

[GavMaca]

Winterburn proves himself to be a right turd

[monklad]

mcclair was then and i'm sure still is,a cunt...

[ZincBoss]

Fooking Northern Shite!! THE ASRENAL!!

[19996669991]

Zincboss gets my vote for best youtube comment ever.

[notaperm]

He can't spell...and it's your best ever comment. Love the north. Ha ha!

[hahern]

ohhh choccy!!!

[Knighthawk1985]

Nigel Winterburn is a legend !!!!!!!

[Noelsvideo]

I was in the North bank that day,i will never forget it.Awesome!

[electro20]

Winterburn Got Done Over By McClair 2 Seasons Later ,Cried like A Baby

[leedsy]

Wow what a stupid comment - Least Winterburn had the bollocks to say something to Mclairs face when he missed that penalty.. All he could do 2 years later was kick lumps out of him when he was already on the ground. Limpar punched Mclair in the face.. Arsenal were deducted points and still went on to win the title at Ainfield - So who's the real winners here?

[arc20051]

I remember that season, bad tempered game at Old Trafford. United also thrashed a full strength Arsenal in the "Rumbelows" League Cup at Highbury that year. 2:6 I think.

You're right to say it was a bit cheap to kick Winterburn on the deck. It really was, both men lack class. Winterburn is no angel to. We know what would have happened had Mclair went eyeball to eyeball with Winterburn. Just ask Di Canio!!!!!!!!

[stwikehimcenturion]

Nearly three years out there mate....November 1990 United beat Arsenal. Lee Sharpe hat trick. United won the European Cup Winners Cup that season too.

[arc20051]

I think if you check through the old archives, November 1990 United beat arsenal alright. 6.2. The month before they lost at old trafford to Arsenal, the famous fight scenes.

The Sharp Hatrick I remember, it was the 6.2 game. Alan smith scored twice for Arsenal, Sharp hat-rick, hughes, Blackmore, Wallace.

I promise you it was Oct 1990 United lost at OT, then November beat them at Highbury 6.2. Won the SuperCup in 1991.

[stwikehimcenturion]

Yeh sorry mate....misread your post and thought you meant this game. I stand corrected...in my orthopaedic shoes.

[zaqarya]

the old trafford kick off was 2 years later, as was the league cup game, lee sharpe hattrick.

[notaperm]

It was all a reaction to a fight on the pitch in 1987 when Whiteside and Rocastle went at it and the ref only sent off Rocky. Man U always get the benefit at home which is why they show more discipline away. Fergie knows he can bully teams and refs at OT. Only Cantona was stupid enough to kick off away from OT which is why he got sent off at Highbury and banned after Selhurst - he was lucky that wasn't for life

[FreewheelBurrrnin]

Haha Paranoid much? Typical whiny man united hater..."wahhh the refs all love united" "wahhh everythings rigged so United can win the matches" Shut the fuck up and put your dummy back in....

Nigel WInterburn is a vile little rat who spent his career winding up other players cos he was such a mediocre cunt ability wise and when he went in to challenge Denis Irwin in the 90/ 91 match it was another wind up which is why he deserved to get the shit kicked out of him.

[notaperm]

No, the brawl was in 1990

[GoonerAli]

GOOD OLD ARSENAL.

[kimiiceman]

nigel winterburn "your shit" right in his face, legend.

[demonspofforth]

I could watch that a thousand times and not get bored of it.

[ifcuking8spurs]

wanker mcclair fucking cock bitch

[KingKurt]

Get in Nutty

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

Looking at the old north bank has made me almost cry. What an atmosphere. Part of me died when they got rid of it.

[Shuttle66]

The Clock End is where the real fans were that got behind the team, The North Bank rarely made a noise.

[choot49]

The North Bank always outsung the clock end..

[G4eva]

Damn, you've got some rare specials. Respect to you mate. Gunner Forever.

[nthbnk83]

I really miss the North Bank, McClair didn't though did he! Nutty did love those Manure fixtures.

[nthbnk83]

I miss the North Bank.

[38Noles]

Thanks for posting! I'd read about this miss in "Fever Pitch" but I'd never seen it.

[TheDoc25]

awsome clips
