Arsenal v Newcastle - F.A. Cup Final (1998) - Live Footage 

I remember watching this game when i was 8 with my Grandfather and Dad.I wasnt much into football at the time nor did i support a club until i watched Ray Parlour,Viera and Overmars running around the place.I instantly fell in love with the club,the name,the kit/colours-the beautiful red and white against the green is something i remember vividly.I have not come across another team like Arsenal with its class and traditions,and i dont want to really,its special and unique to be a proud Gooner.

Anelka should never have left Arsenal. That was the biggest mistake of his career. He was a phenomenal striker on his day.

This was without any question my proudest day as a Gooner!

Roman Abramovic came in 2003, spend about £150m in his first season and arsenal responded by going the season UNBEATEN! The reason arsenal are struggling today is because one by one players left and mediocre players came in. Also 2007/08 arsenal should of won the league, but threw it away.

I was at this game as a gooner what a team but God rest Gary Speed 🙏 what a player 👏

When was the last time a player(Anelka) scored in a cup final and not one of his team mates went to celebrate with him?

Anelka with hair... good old days :)

what a brilliant pass from petit!

'Unprecedented second double' - Did the years 1994 and 1996 not exist in Arsenal's history? Probably not.

chelsea fan but overmars was class and anelka is a legend

god i miss shearer in his prime terribly.

Overmars and Anelka's goals were unstoppable

1-0 Marc Overmars (23 min) 2-0 Nicolas Anelka (69 min)

i was at this game

@Dungarth Yeah, during "those days" you only had domestic billionaires buying titles (Jack Walker, Blackburn 94/95).

this isnt live footage though surely? this is from arsenal tv and judging by the arsenal crest this is a replay from the last 6/7 years and im guessing this commentary was added then

Newcastle United till I die.

Without Arse-Shaving it was better!!!!

@Dungarth I hear you mate

what a day

@mlc3 yea, but wrehs goals towards the end of that season were vital, and got them to the final. wright sadly had dried up by then :(

Exactly Dungarth totally agree with you too many foreigners both as players as well as coaches and owners ruining the passion and pride of the English Game. Lets make a stand before it gets way too late. James

many players has been retired.

I think that's a bit unfair. In '98 Arsenal were just a better team vs the other clubs around them. The last 4 years have seen Arsenal in transition and haven't moved forward because good players keep leaving. You can't blame the current crop if they are not good enough. Arsene Wenger a) hasn't had money to buy big and b) many of his cheaper signings haven't come off.

How come nobody celebrated with Anelka?

Well noticed...that is bizarre!!! Maybe the players know that one day he'd join Chelsea!!

imagtine bloody christopher wreh starting in front of wrighty??

I don't think Anelka even liked himself? Nasty Nick eh?

How on earth did Wreh start infront of Wright

Don't understand Ian Wright not starting this game

No noise from the arsenal boys, we are defiant even when we lose

notice no none came to celebrate with him!! did they not like him our something

Anelka was barely born 27 years ago stupid... many of these players didn't play professional football 27 years ago. None did XD

lol

I hate the football these days when all that matters is money... no glory and no feel anymore. Many play for the money, not because they love it and feel that It's fun to do. Nowadays football is their job not their entertainment. Leading to an extremely boring football... I miss the football a couple of years ago. It's nothing wrong with the sport. But It's the stupid managers that are so greedy.....
