In the second episode of the "IN DETAIL" series, we take a look at the exciting 08/09 Premier League season where two giants of English football, Liverpool and Manchester United, faced off in a two-horse race for the title. From Arsenal's youngsters era to the huge investment of the Abu Dhabi United group in Manchester City. From Scolari's European experiment to Aston Villa's top 4 ambitions. From Newcastle's disastrous season to Fulham's European dreams.
This and many more details are covered in this episode.

LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Keep going
Please make a documentary on madrid winning 3ucl back to back
I been on a binge on this channel all week. Please NEVER STOP.
Buddy excellent video..are you french ??
How is this channel so small? This is by far the best football content I've seen.
Yupp but this channel need more time also given the number of contain were too little...
Fr
It also has a bigger original arabic channel which gets way more views
Damn the algorithm
@@knock-knockwhosthere9933 facts these videos are amazing more people should be exposed to them
PLEASE do more of these, it brings back so much nostalgia, especially in the premier league
Are you from England?
YES PLEASE MORE OF THESE
Would love to see 2006/07 La Liga Seasons in documentary as well. The competition was so tight. when Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla FC were all within just two points of one another going into Matchday 36. In that instance, Los Blancos and Los Azulgranas were neck and neck, just like the Catalans and Atletico are currently. Ultimately, Fabio Acapello's Madrid side completed a stunning turnaround in the Liga BBVA to make off with the trophy.
Fabio said under his management the only thing barca celebrated was their club anniversary 😂
@@chronicthingz Yeah not that big of an achievement if you consider he managed Madrid for 1 season.
Amazing!!! A'm in love with this channel
@@chronicthingz Actually, Del Bosque said that.
Pues si wey no mames.
The editing quality of these videos are by far the best I’ve ever seen. I run a channel of 545K subs and I’m still blown away by the quality of the editing
And and doing it with two language
Dude im gonna be honest. The work u put in , its just insane! I have never seen and will never see another channel as detailed and mad as this. Pls keep up the work buddy and im sure u will hit million subscribers in no time
. Likebait comment
Surprised you focused on this season and not 07-08, which arguably was a more exciting season with Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal all coming close to the title, with such vastly different approaches. That was also really the first season of Arsenal's youngsters.
These were some of the best seasons in the premier league's era. The players, the games, the fans, the coaches, the passion everything about this era was amazing. Maybe it's just nostalgia from seeing the images, but one thing is for sure the early to late 00's was the greatest era of football in terms of world class talented players.
Stepping stone league.
Want a video on Real Madrid's Second galacticos era and the success between 2009-2018
Yeah I've been asking for this.
he probably won't do a club he did again for a while, it would be a bit redundant
@@WasimKhan-ml2fh He may do it soon coz that 1st madrid video was a bang and his only video with 1 million views and people do want that video
I also asked for this on the last video about Inter Milan.
@@WasimKhan-ml2fh the demand is high for it and I think it would be such a nice video considering how intense the rivalry was between Barça and Real, Pep and Mourinho, Messi and Cristiano, MSN and BBC. There’s a lot of sub plots and narratives. Not to mention the recent Florentino Perez leaks about Raul, Casillas, Cristiano etc.
Balon you’re the most underrated KZhead channel out there! Needs way more recognition and that’ll come with time and consistency, incredible production
Zaki - wow, not heard about that guy in a long time. Amazing start then disappeared into the wilderness.
This is going to bang as always!
Got so fucken hyped when I saw it
@@richardmendez8099 I always look forward to his videos. They’re always quality.
@@SamiKhan-js7qt yeah for real there’s no one like him rn
5 mins in so far can already tell this video will be amazing, best football channel by a country mile
The brief discussions about Fulham make me want a video about Fulham’s 2009-10 Europa League run. One of the most remarkable runs in any European competition, and it would have been so perfect if they won it, but they fell just short
The game vs Juventus is always blow my mind
If you really want to watch a video like that, tifo football made one. You can check it out
wish I could like your videos a hundred times over cause your content is just on another planet and you don't get the attention and respect you deserve . Keep on the grind bro the real ones are always here 🙏
Remarcable content. Thanks from Dublin, Ireland.
The definition of quality over quantity. Thank you for your content, Balón!!!
One of the first football seasons I’ve followed in a regular basis back in my teenage years. Already feels nostalgic.
the best season, best teams, players, kits, managers, all too beautiful and nostalgic
Liverpool had a very good chance to win that season. It's a shame that the Liverpool squad from 2007 to 2009 never won any silverware. They were a extremely talented and competitive squad. They also were very dangerous in Europe. A real shame 😔. This squad deserved to win that season.
The level was insane Win a trophy ? Why not But between Chelsea's team with Terry, Drogba, Lampard, etc... And Man U with Ferdinand, CR7, Rooney... Your rivals were the two best teams in the world...
@Bhuto Chakrabarti You’re being emotional. Use your brain and realize that Liverpool team was average. That’s like saying any average EPL team like Aston Villa (current team) was a brilliant team in 10-15 years from now when they win a treble.
@@bolbiitp7850 They were not an average team, An average team does not compete consistently throughout the season and accumulate 86 points. Nor does an average squad manage to make it to the champions league final in 2007, and the semis in 2008 and 2009. Also, calling Liverpool back then an average team/squad is robbing any glory from that United team at that time.
@@04Redeemed They were indeed average. So what, you’re calling Tottenham ‘a more than average team’ just because they’ve reached the UCL finals in 2019? We both know Tottenham is a joke as of now. After/if Conte does anything with them afterwards is an entire different thing, but as of now 2005-2007 Liverpool was as average as current Tottenham. (What I’m trying to get at)
@@bolbiitp7850 The question is about Liverpool 2007-09 not 05-07. They were certainly not average, as I said an average team does not accumulate 86 points in the toughest league in the world. No chance.
The UCL Season 03/04 in detail would be awesome too
Best football channel. Please Serie A 2001/2002! Unbelieveble.
The Ballon D'or lost all it's credibility when Diego Milito wasn't even nominated in 2010... Diego Milito won 5 trophies with Inter in 2010 (Seria A, Copa Italia, UCL, Club World Cup and Super Copa) . He was arguably their best and most important player during the 2009/10 season. He was Inter's top goal scorer and he scored 30 goals that season (14 more than any other Inter Milan Player) which included 22 in the league and 6 in the UCL. Was 2nd top scorer in Serie A and 3rd top scorer in UCL. Diego Milito scored the only goal in the Copa Italia final against Roma and also scored in the Semi Final against Fiorentina, scored the winning goal in the last match of Serie A that won Inter the league, Milito bagged a brace against FC Bayern in the UCL final and also scored in the round of 16, QF and SF of the UCL against Chelsea, CSKA and Barcelona. He also scored several other decisive goals that season. Despite doing all this, Diego Milito wasn't even nominated for the Ballon D'or in 2010. ( Not even among the top 23 players in the world? )
Agreed. He was clearly a top 5 player that year. Rooney (although not as good a trophy season as Milito but) was PFA player of the year, scored 34 goals in 2009/10 - literally carried United. Wasn't in top 23 as well.
@@sagarranjan4585 It was probably based on the World Cup in 2010
@@kase121 if it was based on the world cup then messi shouldn't be in the top 3 but he won
@@kase121 that's why messi won
I think snjider too. He won 5 trophies with inter too and went on to world cup final. Inter was close to sextuplet but that didn't happened
Just the fact that you make 2 vids in the same subject but different languages is insane, much respect ✊🏼
The fact that Chelsea went 86 matches undefeated at Stamford Bridge, is a immaculate record that Chelsea team under Jose was scary
The special one
Balon = LEGEND!
You are very underated bro keep it up ❤️
Legendary work We hope you continue
So so underrated. One of the best PL history videos I've ever watched.
that Bale stat at the end is jokes 🤣🤣
Please continue amazing Work 💯💯
This is great! Would be cool to see premier league 2012-13
I'd love to see one of these season in detail videos for the 1992/93 season. Manchester United winning the league after 26 years, Aston Villa and Norwich challenging for the title, the downfall continuing for Liverpool, the emergence of Blackburn under Dalglish and Shearer and, of course, the first season of the Premier League. Even though it still felt like the First Division. We still had terraces at some grounds and money hadn't become obscene, in regards to transfer fees and wages.
Top tier content as always.
Can't wait for the time you dig in deep in modern football. I'd like to see Real Madrid's 2011-2018 run.
So good!! Brilliant wrap-up. 👏🏾
Never ever stop what you're doing. Keep it up 👍👍💪💪
Please more of these! This channel is so underrated! Amazing content!
This is amazing to go back in those times bringing back so much nostalgia and so much more emotions and life . Amazingly done ✅!
I love the content of this channel and the way it’s delivered. I can tell it takes the creator many hours to put together just one episode. I can’t believe this channel doesn’t have 1 plus million subscribers.
Balon is one of the best footballs documentaries. Great job as always!
I like these season review type of videos. Your La Liga one is also one of my favourite videos. Great work again Fahad
Absolutely unbelievable videos, done so professionally, an actual tv crew couldn’t do a better job. Well done mate keep it up aswell I will tune into every single video!
So glad i found this channel, amazing quality content!
My man just dropped another banger, keep up the good work!
BALON and Fahad, please don't stop! You are giving me joy with these documentaries. I'm reliving the old times again.
Quality, honest content. Like a breath of fresh air. I could watch these all day.
impeccable quality work. I almost cried at the end of the video. It brought back so many memories. Keep up the good work. Much love from Tibet.
Absolutely love your videos Fahad. Keep up the good work my friend. The detail, editing, knowledge and overall style is brilliant. Much love from Manchester.
This is amazing! A real treat to any football fan who grew up in the 2000s! Please do more Premier League seasons, like 09-10 where Chelsea were unstoppable.
Great video as always. Nice flow to the video and summary of events. The length of the video was great without skimming through the important narratives of that season. Brought back a lot of great memories for me personally as a Man United fan. The Spurs 5-2 game is one of my favorite Man Utd games ever. Classic comeback at Old Trafford.
Truly amazing job with this video and the other videos on your channel as well. I’ve said it many times before and I will continue to say it, you truly are a master 👏🏼 Keep up the good work Fahad
Why is this channel so underrated with this wonderful content? This by far the best....One of the best.legendary piece of work
Honestly this content is gold! please make more of these premier league season reviews
Man I love your videos! The editing is next level and i love the fact how you bring out all the important facts. Amazing content!
Man you're good at this thing. I can't believe how good these videos are 👏👌
What a beautiful Documentary ❤😍 Absolutely enjoyed the every bit of it. Thank you ❣️
Great content. Amazing editing. Thank you Balon
A new balon masterclass ❤
Glad to have found this channel, Quality content, really enjoyable, keep up the great work👍
Great season. Amazing video !
Even I am a Man United fan, Liverpool really pushed us far in 2009. Key moments that helped was that win against Villa with Macheda and also the comeback to Spurs. But I think, had Liverpool had a stronger squad they could have won the league in 2009.
Seu canal é o melhor que eu já tive a sorte de encontrar com relação a conteúdo relacionado a futebol. Continue esse ótimo trabalho!
The season in review videos are the best!! Would love to see la liga 08-09 or 10-11
Easy titles for Barcelona
This was my first season watching football i appreciate this so much it brought back happy memories
simply extraordinary
This video was absolutely brilliant, good work!
Your videos are top-notch mate. The best on KZhead. I watch every video you release, they are very professional
Happy New year. This is the best Football channel. The quality is unmatched. Keep going brother.
So far the best channel i have ever subscribed to, the contents, top notch🙌
The commentary of your videos is so far the best for me.
This channel completes me, please keep going with the amazing content.
i remember this season as a younger, the 4-4 draw at Anfield was memorable
These videos are awesome. Thank you.
Small details that no one realize at the day and balon come revive one of the best seasons in history of football
Need one of these for every season !!
This channel is so good.Keep up the good work. Also can you please do a documentsry based on the rivarly of the el classico between 2008 and 2013
Excellent content as always Keep up the good work
Love the channel. Love your videos. Your work is incredible and its a crime you're so small. I tell all of my friends, regardless on if they watch football or don't, to tune in to your content. I would love to see a video on 1997 Dortmund or even on the 2010-2015 run of Jurgen Klopp's "Heavy Metal" Dortmund side. I think the '97 team is one not many talk about, but they beat a stacked Juventus team in the final that featured the likes of Zidane, Deschamps, Del Piero and Vieri. To have you do a video on that team would be nothing short of special.
Best channel wallah. Please keep up the good work! I always send your content to my friends and co workers
Fantastic as always
This channel is absolutely fantastic keep up the good work sir please
Another entertaining video,i am truly grateful for your effort!
keep up the great content bro. stay consistent and soon the channel will blow and you'll reap the fruits of ur hard work
Legendary days of football...so much nostalgia
this current prem season very oddly mirrors the 2008-09 season: 1)newcastle struggling, might b relegated 2) liverpool winning big at old trafford 3)a big middle eastern takeover of a prem club 4)3 teams competing for the top spot in the prem
na tbh though even if we go down, which we won't know rlly until Feb when the table starts to take shape, we have hope now. Oddly enough as an 18 year old 2008-2010 is why I started to love football because we were so down then the club united under Houghton in 09/10
Bro I am speechless this channel is the best football channel on youtube
I proud of you my brother keep this masterpiece on ♥️♥️♥️
This channel is phenomenal. More please.
One of the best football channels
I wish there was a series on these videos for the PL, Seria A, Ligue 1, and La Liga. Personally, I wouldn't mind any league to be honest, as long as the quality is matched
arshavin went crazy that game
As a United fam, I couldn't help but get emotional watching this. We were so imperious under Fergie.
This is by far the best football documentary channel
Your channel is too addictive dude it's like your a kid sitting and listening to great bed time stories from your gran no offense though comparing you with a gran but my oh my I've sat here for 2hrs and I haven't slept in 2 days but I didn't blink once.underrated channel!! ❤
Fahad you are an absolute legend making the best documentaries you can make. U deserve 10 times as many subscribers as you have, please if possible make a video on Roberto Baggio or David Beckham, some consider them very overrated.
Phenomenal work as per the usual. Man these premier league retrospectives truly take me back to what the kids dub "peak Barclays" painful memories especially for me as a Chelsea fan that season on all fronts but the FA Cup. Would love to see a Chelsea video similar to that of the Juventus or Inter video. Great work again!! EDIT: a video on the Chelsea "renaissance" era with the introduction of more European flair to the club and the influence of Matthew Harding and Ken Bates especially in the mid 90s (Zola, Vialli, Gulit, Di Matteo, Poyet etc) would be very interesting the period circa 1995-2003 was quite vital in the history of Chelsea and shaped the modern identity of what Chelsea has become today. It would make a great documentary for the pre-Abramovich era. Would pay top dollar to see that documentary this channel deserves all the plaudits and then some.
Perfection from balón everytime.
another great video man , keep it coming ,
You are the only channel for which I have put 🔔 on
Mate, your content is incredible!!
