Roy is low key that good guy who's just very violent 😂😂
"Vicious but fair".........bit like The Kray Twins...
@@Isleofskye nope
@Mario Lisa yup
Isleofskye the krays fair? They literally bullied businesses into buying protection off of them for a living amongst other things.
Hes basically the punisher😂
Arsenal vs Utd rivalry from round 97 till 05 will never be beat, don't get games like that anymore!
Agreed. There’s really no teams that hate each other anymore besides spurs and arsenal and maybe the el Classico. Apart from that every game is full of hugs and kisses before the match etc.
Utter bollocks,City v Liverpool at the moment is of a far higher standard then anything Utd & Arsenal served up. The speed,the intensity,the entertainment,the ferocity is on a different planet to Arsenal v Utd games(a lot of which flattered to deceive or were 1 sided) Look at City and Liverpool,consistently making it to the latter stages of the CL,Utd from '97-2004 made 1 final and mostly went out in the quarters.
Tottenham vs Arsenal is comparable
@@benitezsucks8625 actually made a Semi too. And the quality was still great.
The modern. Rivalries have no where near that big game feel I remember from keane v vieraa as a kid. What are the personAl battles now, silva v henderson? Milner v de bruyne? It literally does not compare
It's moments like these that made the Arsenal vs United rivalry so beautiful. Only passionate footballers could create moments like these lol. Whether you're a United or Arsenal fan you'd certainly miss that era of football.
And now both clubs are fighting for who will finish 4th and who is the banter club
Arpandeep Singh None of them are banter clubs, you’ve been watching too much of goldbridge. The only banter club here is the one who haven’t won the league in over 30 years.
Im not just saying this cause im a United fan, but Arsenal v United in those days has to be the greatest premier league rivalry ever , every match was explosive and a lot was on the line
It's never going to be the same when hollow clubs like Chelsea and city are up near the top the passion is gone in that sense
Arpandeep Singh stick to munching popadoms football is to complicated for third worlders
R.I.P Reyes. Man Utd fan.
Jon Reynolds What a player he was. Glad I was a kid who watched him in his prime.
That act alone from Keane, taking on Vieira face to face was pivotal. Imagine seeing your captain square up to the opposition's skipper and putting him in his place, does wonders for your mentality and togetherness.
Louie M Amen. Seeing that would’ve put fire in their blood, which could easily add up to extra yards on the pitch when it matters. Animosity makes competitors hungry to win.
That’s what won us the game before it actually started. Keane was on a madness 💯
Keane’s the sort of guy that if you worked on a conveyor belt with him at Jaguar Land Rover he would stick up for you if you went missing and the gaffer was looking for you.
Fascinating listening to these guys, I'm a massive arsenal fan but I could listen to the lads from that generation all day long - respect.
Arsenal had my favourite non United players. Berkamp Henry Pires Overmars Petit Viera were just awesome to watch. Great times
@@headslapping100 Fabregas was a personal favourite of mine as a United fan
Jin amarasinghe, spare your hate for something serious.
Indeed Jake b, I’m lfc for life but respect is due no doubt
Roy "I don't think it was as bad as that"Keane 😄
He's right. Blokes do that and it isn't a big deal.
@ShiftCtrl85 Whose career did he end? And please, don't say Alfie Haaland!
Roy is a legend. I can understand why him are Graham Souness being very good friends. Ive got a lot of respect for Nev and Roy. & im a Lfc supporter
Yeah I’d like to see his version of bad!
@wildebest harland played a game internationally after the tackle, got injured then, and played it off like Keane was the reason.
Roy Keane vs. Patrick Vieira Where has rivalries like this gone? We need these in the premier league!
Everybody wants to be friends now unfortunately. The only game that is fierce nowadays is the north London Derby
There is Pogba vs lingard dance off
@@eldio2124 they all play for their agents now so they are no longer rivals
Phil Jones and Mustafi Clown Contest
There's no characters left in the game, the game is gone too soft a reflection on today's society and "man"
Most people hate players like Keane, but I guarantee any team at least in PL would like to have him, driving players to win all the time. Nowadays footballers are nonsense millionaires think they are gods
Pogba..
Joel Adu-Poku I’m an Arsenal fan and despite us being rivals with him I have an incredible amount of respect for Roy Keane.
great personality
Greenwood 54 Why does this have to be a Keane & Vieira argument. I’m giving my respect to an ultimate professional, and you want to be all tribal about it because I said I’m an arsenal fan,go away.
Well said..
There’s more hatred in a match between AFTV and The United Stand than the actual Arsenal v Man Utd games now
That’s what money does unfortunately, takes the passion away
We're rivals innit
That’s sad
I miss these era of football players.
You said it my friend
THIS. THIS era of players. Or that.
@@ryananon779 You know what he meant.
@@tipperary1082 Yes. Yes I did.
@@ryananon779 so what was the point in correcting him on a youtube comment?
As an Arsenal fan I miss this....the best rivalry good old football days
DillyDyson007 Man United as well
never seen a rivalry that great, that intense, with that amount of quality on the pitch. those legends, the coaches.... never ever will we see such a thing. glad i ve got to witness it in real life.
I'm a Liverpool fan but I thoroughly enjoy watching these lads babble on
Cianisboss same. Especially the one where he absolutely goes off about Ferguson. Love it.
"lads babble on"
@eric Derek gimp who doesnt even go the match, thats how people like you act behind the screen of your computer
@eric Derek good man, i do the same for liverpool, were not murderers
@eric Derek justice for ole
Now we have lingard dancing and giggling like a little BOY.
So?
nothing wrong with laughing bro
He should be scoring and assisting instead
Give him a break he's only 27, he's still yet to reach his full potential 😂
John McGrath He’s a laughing stock and is crap.
Players now are hugging each other in the tunnels. Miss the old days of getting ready for a match and not being so lovey dovey with the Opposition.
As a lifelong pacifist SO DO I !!!!!!!! I hate players shaking hands b4 the game and teams coming out together. I used to love the opposition coming out at The OLD DEN,Millwall to a crescendo of cat-calls and boos and the "Hometown Good Guys" then emerging to the Lions roar and the players going to the opposite end of the pitch. AFTER the game it's totally different but not before...
Because they're all mates on bloody instagram.
@@Isleofskye if I remember rightly, mascherano asked why he has to shake hands before the game and said it doesn't make sense at that time. He got fined by the FA for it.
Just seen an hilarious variation on this when one Premiership player yesterday carried his child whilst shaking hands...
Isleofskye, no one is a pacifist, all it take is the right situation and you're not a pacifist any longer.
As a staunch gunners supporter, I always looked forward to the battles of old between Arsenal & United. Even though he was captain of our biggest rivals, Roy Keane along with many other brilliant United players deserved so much respect and admiration for how they played and how much they achieved.
Fascinating looking at Keane's face from around 6:50 onwards as Neville recounts Keane's role as the 'mirror of Ferguson' on the pitch. the intensity in his gaze is ridiculous - he's clearly still out there on the pitch in his mind making every tackle and pass. Not many like that around these days.
We should all remember that when Roy turned professional he applied to all 92 football league clubs, as they existed at the time and was rejected by all of them. Just let that sink in for a minute! He had to work for everything he achieved. Never a bluffer, always a legend!
So he wasnt playing in Ireland first?
It's all explained very well, in his autobiography! Well worth a read!
He never wrote to United!
@@liammellowes6172 lmao again was he or was he not playing football in Ireland?
John there were 92 league clubs in England and Wales he wrote to all of them as I explained! He was rejected by them all. He had turned professional in Ireland and applied to all the league clubs including the 4 in Wales!
This is Gold. Two great players and pundits together.
Best thing about Keane Vierra tunnel incident was when referee almost asked Roy for permission to carry on. Keane just gives facial nod. Superb
As a Liverpool fan, I have always had great admiration & respect for that Man Utd team with such great players, these stories are so good to hear from the horses mouth no less... G Nev & Roy both legends in their own rights
Honestly, I look at these guys, and then back to that clip, and I get teary eyed. That rivalry, between Arsenal and United, you can't explain it... It was special and we will never see it again.
Lifelong Arsenal fan here. I seriously miss this rivalry.
Fascinating interview. When Keano talks you listen!
I'm love the whole interview with these pair. I'm not a United fan but that team was incredible.
Miss the days when warriors played the game. Not overpaid overgrown kids
Let the warriors go to war... this is just a game.
Keane's humour certainly comes across in these videos and can see what Neville means about him being a funny character behind the ranting and intense imagine
I'm sure most of it goes straight over Nev's head. He just laughs at everything to make it look like he knows what's going on.
"It's all a lot of nonsense" - Roy Keane
These interviews are OUTSTANDING!!! It’s the only time I feel as if all the BS packaging of players by promoters has been stripped off and the result is everything a football fan wants to witness 👏👏👏 Absolute respect ✊ Now all I want is an Eric Cantona interview so I can ask him the real reason he left Leeds 😂😂😂
Keano a real character and leader. No where near the standards that we have in our current squad. Think roy should pay them a visit to Carrington and show them how to be men & play for the shirt. Blood sweat & tears.
There will never be another Keano ever, the last of a generation of CM's who played a complete different game to modern day football.
Mark Nobel
@@Oakland510 is this some kind of sick joke?
eric dier
There's only one Keano.
The nostalgia is heavy here. 0:46 in the video and fighting back the tears, just because those were the days. And they were!
Gotta love Roy Keane. Makes me laugh so much.
I loved watching football back then, not so much now
Being an Irish Arsenal fan you could imagine my conflict when it came to Keane and Vieira
I'm arsenal but love Keane he was immense and his battles with Patrick we will never see anything like again imo
Rest in peace José Antonio Reyes
To of been a fly In that tunnel that day Would’ve been brilliant.

@@artykillen9251 they kill us for Thier sport
David Killen You can f**k off what that bollocks (sarcasm)
They litearrly just showed us the cam footage in the tunnel you idiot.
Was the actual footage of it not enough?
Keane puts it all on the line when he steps onto the pitch. I was heartbroken when he left. Neville did a great job carrying on the captaincy after Roy. He carried the fire Roy had on that arm band. Love them both.
Oh man how we’ve missed characters like that at United.
Not even a football fan, but interesting to hear the stories of the time.
They say G Nev laughs like a chicken and its true
Do chickens laugh ??
@@stuartboyd6340 of course they laugh , they copy G Nev.
The good old days. Im a Gooner but love keane
Well said, as a United fan those United and Arsenal teams would wipe the floor with citeh and liverpool now
I'm a utd fan and love Viera..... Great player great captain .
3:28- This is the first time I've seen Keano laughing
I miss these days. Arsenal fan
You'll be missing them for a very long time mate because your years behind the top 2!!!

@@TokyoJoe703 😂😂😂😂😂
Would love to see more of these events where players can speak candidly with someone they know well- chuck the "media training" out the window for once.
They don’t make them like Keane anymore do they 😔
if I meet Keane in the street today, I'll still be afraid to talk to him. He looks like someone you won't want to mess with. :p
😂
The respect btw Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira is amazing though. I miss those days.
If Keane was in the United team now, no way would his team mates get away not trying 100% like we have now.
beach life I 100% agree, pogba would be launched out the team bus window on the way to the game. But my all all time Man. United hero is Bryan Robson. I've had a season ticket in K stand for 30yrs and I absolutely love Robbo. Captain Marvel...The Best I've ever seen. But in saying that The man who's had the biggest influence on the pitch when he arrived....Le God....Mr. Eric Cantona. Oh my days I've been so blessed throughout my life by the magic that is Manchester United football club. We'll never die ❤
Keane wouldn't work in modern football. He'd be isolated and pushed out by snowflakes who couldn't hack his style. He'd be moved on.
@@rivolinho True, too much player power now with the obscene money they are paid. If you are getting like £300k a week it kind of takes the winning hunger away. The reason United are not winning is Fergie isn't there anymore. He instilled that winning mentality and Keane demanded the same as a player which made the other players die for the club and not winning a game was unacceptable. Liverpool have that in their manager at the moment. It's not necessarily about how good the players are but their desire to win and that is proved by leicester city winning the league. Pogba would not be at the club if Fergie was still manage, simple.
@@beachlife2968 Yeah but it's more than just players and manager selections. The culture has changed completely since Keane was playing. Players used to feel lucky to be footballers and were worried about staying in football as long as possible. Now they are more powerful than the managers and they're set for life before they're 21. Why would you break your back in that situation. Turn up, give 70% effort, collect your fortune, move to another club for big fee, rinse repeat.
@@rivolinho There is a quick turn around of managers if they don't get quick results instead of them being given time, that's one problem. Another problem is if a strict manager comes in then the players simply put less effort in to get him sacked. They want a weak manager so they can do what they want but what you want is not what you need. I can't see this changing anytime soon because of the player power. It's normal now for just average players to go for around £50m and ultimately it's the fans that are paying for this madness.
Ultimate respect from both rivals was a great time
That clip still gives me goose bumps, what a man you’d want Keane by your side if you went to war.
dolimi jotoo wtf has that got to do with my comment
Great insights,respect from a Arsenal fan...miss the good old days.
God I wish Roy Keane played for us know, what a player, what a leader, best tackle on haaland I've ever seen !!!
Agreed great tackle
Yeah fantastic tackle , cost us his son
Roy Keane...ledgend.
Roy Keane - “Absoloot naarnsense”
When football had the balance, it was bloody fun to watch as well. That class of 92 was unreal we are all still awed by it 30 years later
I’m a life long Liverpool fan, but more importantly a football fan. If you want an insight into the modern premier league united legends are your best source. Reminds me of my amateur days, and the mates I spent em with. Great days regardless
Best captain utd ever had never backed down from anyone always put the team first a utd legend.
Roy Keane mugs people off even when he’s trying to help them 🤷🏻♂️ 😂😂😂
The good old days loved the Arsenal vs Man U games back in the day 💪🏻
This football that will always ring in my mind
Brilliant, Gary Neville just affirms what fans think, Keane was heart and soul of that club. When he left it was never the same and won’t be until a player like him comes along again.......probably never
Still my favourite premier league game ever. That incident only added to what ended up being such a dramatic night at Highbury.
We had men in the squad in Roy's era and now we have boys in the team, that's the difference between now and then, I wish Roy could insert some sense in the squad now. Fast forward to Manchester derby, Roy visited Carrington and United thrashed City in their own backyard 🤗
true
Now days United players are known by cutting hair and dancing 😂
Arsenal are the same. Bloody social media ruined the hard game football. Keane probably don't know what instagram is
Keane was like mel gibson on braveheart movie on the pitch lol
Pure 🥜
That 4-2 was BY FAR my favourite United vs Arsenal game, one of my favourite games of all time. The football on both sides was electric, and then the O'Shea chip? Unreal
Roy got lot of respect for nev..despite the banter 😂
Roy was a super player best midfielder in the world at ine stage. You would want him in the trench with you... 100% professional
Just a no nonsense man. We need more guys like it
"He stands up to bullies!" - Eamon Dunphy.
Keane is the epitome of everything wrong at united now. No leaders no characters. Don’t won’t go put the graft in when the going gets tough. They are all talented but lack mentality. Don’t get players like him anymore. Absolute player In my eyes.
Arsenal v Man Utd 1997-2005 was the ultimate premier league rivalry pure hatred think a lot of teams are to nice to each other now dont get characters like Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira anymore
oh aye, Keane your such a hard man. BSer!
7:56 "bar none" Yep, that's true that.
Don’t care what anyone says but Roy Keane was only the way he was because his passion to win and lead and show what a captain should be made him that way, the greatest cm that ever stepped out on Uniteds pitch, miss watching him so much
Keane would have posted some great pics to instagram during the 90s!
No matter which team you support Arsenal or United both teams from that Vieria, Keane era had great players but more importantly they were teams e.g Winners!
Keane absolute legend may God preserve u and your loved ones and u too Gary neville
Bring it back great times proper football
I enjoyed the interview, I must say. Man Utd had some very talented players (Ronaldo, Kanchelskis, Cantona, Van Nistelrooy, Giggs and Scholes) and some fit, talented, unbelievably competitive players, with great characters (Keane, Paul Ince, Bruce, Pallister, Vidic, Schmeichel, Butt, Beckham, Neville, Solksjear, Stam...)... and don't forget Clayton Blackmore!!! Ferguson would, shall we say, "lean" on the refs, though, and he had a lot of allies (ex-players, or just allies) who were managers at the time - McLeish, Bruce, Hughes, Robson among others. Guys like Martinez and Moyes wouldn't really oppose Sir Alex, although he was a Great Manager, no doubt.
Where is the keepitonthedeck guy😂😂 His favorite player is here
People don't realise just how good Roy was. Not just with his feet but with his words as well. When the chips are down you need someone like Roy to pull you up and get the team through. We talk about the winning mentality of SAF and how the team never backed down and getting late goals and all that and I think one of the most crucial aspects of that was Roy Keane.
and ferguson has the nerve to call keane a non world class player. and people defend ferguson too. what the hell? without roy , united probly wouldnt have had this amount of titles...
@@deathrager2404 probably the fall out they had.
@@muhammadaliqureshi4629 of course that is why. doesnt make it less true. sad
@@deathrager2404 it is sad. True
Couldn't Utd do with Keane at the moment and not just at the moment.
Nice to see them defending each other.
Arsenal v united games were the best
Best times in the premiership
Keano do me a favour 😂😂😂
There is only one Keano. Absolutely monster of a legend.
The united/arsenal rivalry of the 90’s was something special, they drove each other to the next level, you just don’t get that intensity anymore. Everyone’s an instagram buddy or whatever. Did feel like Neville set himself up perfectly for a few Keane moany jokes toward the end there that he didn’t take though!
I just want to what is bad according to ROY ..probably killing a player on the field LOL
Nah he would probably think that's fair. In this era Keane would stomp on divers and actually make them feel pain.
Imagine Roy Keane and ibrahamavic and vinnie Jones in the same team
@@johnnydre6257 add Pepe to the list
Stick Kevin muscat on the bench
i weirdly think keane and ibra would be friends. they both are winners and bad losers
Yea u can tell they would be good friends
@@ian234234234 Both humourous guys too. Jones would drive Keane mad because he wasn't that great a ball player really. He was just a thug with a basic grasp of the game!!
Roy is a legend from the moment they treated roy as they did and got rid of hikm man u midfield was never good enough
Football will never be the same from there day
F***ing awesome!!!
Great, great rivalry it was. Nowadays, terrifically overhyped by the marketing and money making beast that is the Premier League. 👍
Need a manager like him at Manchester United set those 11 clowns straight make them afraid to lose
Ole has Fergie's tactics and Keane has Fergie's temper. Imagine Keane as the Assistant Manager.
I love that Roy always thinks it was fine at the time, then Gary will give actual context of how other people saw it but it just shows thats just how Roy sees the world and he doesn't see it as "a big deal" when people may accuse him of being nasty.
Roy's assertion that only Arsenal players are like that is obviously bollocks. United were like that too when they felt one of theirs was bullied or targeted last match. That's what made the rivalry so good, the passion and the loyalty on both sides.
