Arsène Wenger: Invincible

This documentary shows a great insight on what life was like at Arsenal Football Club during the invincible season. It really shows how good of a team Arsenal were, it also shows how good Arsène and the players they had were. You can tell by the way it's directed that the team's chemistry was out of this world and that they worked extremely well together. Watching this documentary made me realise that the players that had (Henry, Viera, Pires etc) made the ball look like it was stuck to their feet, at many points they were also like magicians. Arsenal had world class, magic, spectacular players who worked exceptionally well together at this point in time.

Mostly uses footage from old season reviews with new interviews, no controversy moments really just a standard, this is how it was to what Wenger is doing now.

A fascinating film about the legendary Arsenal manager, and my respect for him only increased after watching.

It perhaps would have been nice to have had more time dedicated to things like the relief he felt after that famous 2014 FA Cup win, or the pain of the 2006 Champions League Final defeat, that really heralded the break-up of the Invincibles team.

On the whole a lovely film though, and we'll be lucky to ever have a manager of his ilk again.

Tough watch for me this was, being am Arsenal Season Ticket holder for 38 years and counting.

I was very surprised that the Champions League Final was not mentioned.

Lots of Great memories come flooding back of Highbury and bad memories of the 99 Semi-Final I was there.

The shots of him in the tunnel before the Burnley game was of him looking pretty angry, he blames US the fans for wanting him out.

But what he said is the truth "Arsenal lost their SOUL when they left Highbury.

He won't go back to the Emirates as their are no happy memories, Highbury was the love of his life as it was for all of us.

I was pleased to see Sir Alex having a lot to say, and was surprised when he said "that going a whole season unbeaten" was bigger then anything he had done, Really the Treble?

But was great to see the Respect he has for Arsene and he blames us the fans for getting rid of him. Sorry Sir Alex but in 2014 we had Klopp lined up, but Wenger would not leave. We should not have given him a new contract.

It's strange to watch Arsenal and Man U Rule English football, now look at us. Man U starting yet again after sacking Ole, Fergie left Man U in 2013 that's 8 years ago, and Wenger left in 2018.

It's not easy to replace 2 of the Greatest Managers that ever lived.

We all know the football stuff; the way Arsene changed the game, won the double, the Ferguson rivalry, the unbeaten campaign, move to the Emirates, and, despite calling his last 10 years a failure still qualifying for Champions League 9 of those years (!)......

That aside, this is a well-made film, looks good and feels good. Fantastic cast of important people, excellent footage and a perfect homage to Arsenal's most successful and important manager.

Nicely done.
