I DIDN'T TRUST HIM! 😡 Martin Keown FUMES Over THAT Ruud Van Nistelrooy Moment & DEFENDS His Actions 

Hilarious from Martin about his beef with Andy Gray 😂

Never trust someone who can’t admit when they’re wrong.

Keown never lets you down with his stupid comments..pure comedy genius

Keown actually makes a very valid point whether people want to acknowledge it or not. If you actually closely listen to commentators, and you listen to them over enough seasons, you can clearly tell that they like and dislike certain players. The easiest way to tell is when they constantly praise certain players but go very quiet when they make mistakes. But when a player they don’t like does something good they go equally quiet while constantly bashing them whenever they can. It’s very obvious if you actually pay close attention to the language, tone, and context used by pundits.

I still don't get how Van Nistelrooy got Vierra sent off, all he did was take a step back, he didn't dive or feign injury and the ref saw the whole thing happen so it's purely down to his interpretation!!

Keowns hypocrisy is incredible, the only reason they went unbeaten that season was because of Robert Piers against Portsmouth, still possibly the worst dive ever to this day

Viera kicked out studs showing, Ruud moved back and then highlighted it to the ref like any player would, or if it was an Arsenal player he would have been rolling on the floor actually 😂 Viera got himself sent off, there is literally no other reality. Or even if you think the red was harsh, still not RVN’s fault is it

I was 9 years old when that penalty happened. 21 years later as I approach my 30s, I still dislike Keown now as much as I did then 😂

simon jordan loving it

As a gooner I still appreciate that moment

They bring this up everytime Man I Vs Arsenal are about to play

I'd imagine Martins head is a lonely place to be 🤣

Passion and conviction! What a savage keown was. The game nowadays misses that

Ruud was a master of the dark arts lol.. Nobody could dive like him 😂

Keown reading a script???? Wtaf

Martin is our legend he is arsenal through and through 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤those were the times not this plastic times we have now with chelsea and city

Why does Keown feel entitled to be able to trust Van Nistelrooy? He’s not your teammate, I’m sure he didn’t trust Keown either 🤦‍♂️

Emotion heat of the moment stuff that’s sport and why we love it.

When Football was Football 😮‍💨

Simon absolutely loved that

Mike Riley cost Arsenal that 50 games unbeaten streak The Rooney challenge from Sol Campbell was so dodgy for a penalty

There is no defending those actions. He looked like a clown back then and he hasn't changed since. He often displays his inability to think rationally and it will never stop if it has gone this far lol

😂. Sir Alex got pizza on the face but no one could see the difference.😂😂😂

Slated version of events and reluctantly giving others praise, is Martin keown describing his own out look when talking about anyone but arsenal, this mad man is on another planet.

This was the game that spurred us on to win the league that season. One of the most tense games ever lol proper Barclays!!

Loving the smirk on Simons face^^

A VERY special moment❤❤

It’s fun seeing them get along and not seeing Keown get torn apart by these 2 😂

Vieira got Vieira sent off! That´s it!

You wouldn’t do it too Duncan Ferguson Martin. It’s selective bullying.

Well said Martin❤

One of the great Premier League moments, best commentary team ever too probably, Tyldsley and Andy Townsend close second.

I like Keown cos he can’t hide how unhinged he is. Type of bloke to call you a prick with a scowl and then go only joking mate with a smile the next second. Pure lunatic

The mighty invincibles had 0 shots on target that game, btw.

Vieria got himself sent off! With one of the stupidest attempts at a kick out ever! Literally a yard away from the referee 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dude absolutely chimped out, embarrassing that he’s trying to defend himself. Should’ve been issued a long ban.

I LOVE FOOTBALL. Basic human emotions nature gave us. It's good to look back and ve cringy amd embarrassed too. That's life

I remember this game and it’s quite funny that Roy Keane who you’d think would of been in the heat of it all was actually trying to be the peace maker in it all

Good segment!

Martin Keown Arsenal legend and hero!

😂😂😂 pizza plump in Sir Alex face i loved that comment

If Sheffield United had finished invincible with 38 points, would that be lauded in 20 years time?

I remember this, I’m pretty sure Keown was being a tit all game, not just after the penalty.

1:21 😂😂

Viera lashed out ,no different to beckham in 98

I was in the old dairy in tollington the pub erupted, arsenal fans went crazy, I thought they'd wreck the joint

Simons Face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whatever happens on the pitch, SHOULD stay on the pitch!

Im surprised that Martin has time to do a radio show whilst also lecturing in astro physics at MIT, working for Nasa and being a consultant at CERN....

That’s the only moment keown is known for 😂

Keown a legend in his own head

Way to go Martin

Keown never a footballer just a thug

Says everything we need to know about keown

imagine ruud had chinned keown just after that image was taken. surely one of ruud's biggest regrets lol 😂😂

Those were the glory days of football. They all pre madonnas now.

Never seen jordan enjoy a story like he did there.

Why is Martin reading from a script?!

Iconic moment but happy Ruud got his lickback

No Viera got himself sent off by kicking out, then you and Cole should also have been sent off, it was embarrassing and shameful.

Not a lot of defenders could handle Ruud. Keown was one of them.

Keown was an absolute disgrace. He borderline assaulted Van Nistelroy. Shameless in not admitting any wrong doing. Commentary doesn't change anything. We all saw his behavior with our own eyes.

Imagine if someone did it to an arsenal player today, PFA fanboy Martin would lose his mind and want the police involved

What rubbish Viera tried to kick out at Van Nistelrooy his intention was to kick him and hurt him and Van Nistelrooy moved out the way like a normal person and deserved the red card Keown can’t admit even after 20 years that he was in the wrong

I admire that Keown has no regrets about it but his captain let himself down by kicking out and that's the only reason he got sent off. Understandable to enjoy the penalty miss as they were rivals but to paint Van Nistelrooy as a cheat is very wrong.

lets hace it right, Pat Viera was given a 2nd yellow for kicking out a RVN despite the bs martin keown is spewing here and he made a clown of himself... all the things he achieved with them and he will forever be remembered for this moment

I still don’t know if keown is just a guest or what? Why do the “invicibles” get brought up every single day?

Keown living with no regrets here...I love that kind of conviction. Too often people change track!

I couldn’t trust him 😂

Van got him sent off, didn’t Veira kick out? Twenty years later they still can’t responsibility “pathetic”

Andy Gray was awful on the mic!

No your captain got himself sent off.

Is Keown reading off a script? What’s he looking at?

I'm a lifelong Tottenham fan and I have always been on the Arsenal players' side about the van Nistelrooy incident. Van Nistelrooy was a wind up merchant and he got what was coming to him.

He forgot to mention Robert Pires dive against Portsmouth to gain a point and maintain Arsenal's unbeaten record in the so-called "invincible" season

This is so sad; watching Keane n Vieira talk about their rivalry twenty years later , laughing n joking is great. Keown still like this? All paranoid, everyone else's fault. What a sad loser.

You can just feel how sincere this guy is by watching him reading his little prepared speech

Keown used to act the hard man what has happened to him ?

Thank you Van Nistelrooy for missing that penalty in the last minute and making the ''Invincibles''. A fete no other club has achieved since.🏆

Ironic, that had Van Nistelrooy scored that penalty, Arsenal's invincible season would have been over in the first game of the season!

just a quick question here didnt robet pires play in that arsenal invincibles team I seem to remember him falling over like a pack of cards against portsmouth that season pot kettle keown 🤣 behaving like a thug is a bad example to set anyway

He jumped up and bashed Ruud on the head with his arm, should have been banned for that. Looks slike Saka's been watching Ruud if he goes down like a pack of cards

Such an airhead

He can explain all he wants, but Martin Keown is a prick. And someone who can't admit wrong deserves no respect

Martin Keown a plain ham sandwich on white kind of guy

Gladiator footballers. United vs Arsenal fierce rivalry back then.

Martin Keown. The only person in the world who can put on a pair of glasses and look less intelligent.

Love Keown.

Martin thinks way too much of himself

disgraceful behavior!

Keown, the gift that just keeps on giving..

Martin ur the man tey always up against u ma8 .colly linfield fc

What ever you think of martin, he played an absurd amount of years at highest level I agree on commentators, i am not surprised there are footballers who do not want to know what these experts think of them. Keown played an absurd amount of years at highest level They do not make these sorts of footballers any more. Good for martin here speaking up for his idea of what happened, and no matter what happens, there is always two sides to a story, and its only right that both sides can speak. People speak alot of rubbish about keown, football back then was what it was. Todays football has gone to absurd levels of being clean, its totally boring. I do not watch football anymore, but i doubt there is the rivalry between anyone today, that arsenal and man utd had in those years. Ask roy keane, he would openly say he misses that competition between the two, and he knows that there is nothing like it today in football Its absurd now that teams like each other when they are competing for the biggest prizes Man utd were full of rapists and thugs, and arsenal in years i watched them, never allowed themselves to be bullied, and man utd under fergie bullied teams. Why do man utd people moan that there was a team that they could not walk over? I am sure no matter what roy keane and the likes say, they loved the competition from arsenal in those years Most teams would just be bullied by man utd under fergie, he filled that team with males who were rapists, and thugs, and if you wanted to compete with such monsters on the field, you needed people like martin keown. I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, and from what i hear about this thing happened in 2003, there was nothing wrong. Man utd were a team of bastards, and martin keown knows this, to compete with such teams, you needed to not let them bully you, as man utd under fergie walked over so many teams back then, but he never did it to arsenal in years i watched them. Football is a competition and top players have a massive will to win. You can be sure roy keane loved playing arsenal, and how arsenal would not back down to manutd in those years. I do not blame some players for not wanting to hear the experts speak about them.

The fact that a great player like Ruud and Keown were in the pitch is criminal in itself.

Jim and Simon just love picking on Martin it's getting boring...can't stand jim white clearly hates arsenal and gaslights to the maximum

Martin Keown, f'ing Legend 👊🏾

He's "disassociated" with the situation because he knows he was wrong and feels guilty.

Good to het the other side

Haha 😂😂😂 just shows what a complete numpty Keown is...."he got my captain sent off"......Viera got himself sent off. Dirty, dirty Arsenal.😂😂😂

Give the mic to Rudd, heard Martin’s version soo many times …this version Keown can hear the commentators while playing
