THE INVINCIBLES DOCUMENTARY

[QuartzGooner]

Saw the Invincibles documentary tonight.

Really recommend it, balanced mix of talking head interviews and great goals, and some treasured memories.
Shows on Sky on Wednesday night after the game versus Monaco, so if you have Sky then set the Skybox for when you get home from the game.
Will not post spoilers as it is to be enjoyed, but the star of the show is Jens!

Great to see Pat Rice in the audience looking healthy.

Did you attend the premiere? How did you get access to it?

Is it more documentary or interview based?

Can't wait to see it.

About time this achievement got the recognition it deserves. Looking forward to it...

Heard no Cashly in the Documentary is that true ?

[OneBardGooner]

They'd planned to interview him (Cashley), but he missed the interview time etc because he was looking for his mobile phone.

....whilst on the piss with his chav mates Racist Terry and Dumb n Dumber Fwank three days before the biggest final in Arsenal history.

It is a compelling watch; mixture of interviews, match footage and training ground footage.
A tribute to and celebration of a legendary achievement, and truly great players.
Very entertaining anecdotes, one eyebrow raising revelation and well edited.
Five players plus the manager are interviewed.
Lots of focus on the game at Old Trafford, a very strong part of the documentary.
The man who made it spoke before the screening, explained he had limited broadcast time so limited the amount of players he spoke to, though the whole project took two years.
He advised those wanting more detail should buy Amy Lawrence's Invincibles book.
Ashley Cole is in match and training footage but not interviewed.
It was a preview screening.
Pat Rice looked trim and healthy, I guess and hope he is in remission.
Lots of players in the audience: Jens, Sol Campbell, Lauren, Robert Pires, Martin Keown, Ray Parlour, Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain, Paul Davis, plus Ken Friar and other Arsenal people.

I would love to see that, but don't have sky..

Me neither.

Will need someone to post the transcript verbatim ( )or post potted highlights on here.

It was a fantastic achievement and will rightly always be remembered but am I the only one who is a bit embarrassed by how much we seem to be harping back to it?

It was (and is) unrivalled but it makes me cringe a bit when we sing "49, 49..." at every single game. We are quick enough to harp on about other clubs clinging onto past glories (LIVERPOOL) and I think people would ridicule United singing about the treble every single game (without wanting to re-open the debate about which is better).

This isn't (just) because of this documentary.

As long as it's done the right way, I don't have an issue with it to be honest.

I think it's quite right to celebrate your clubs history. Football can be quite unforgiving and not many teams stay at the top decade after decade, so why not remember and celebrate the glory days? - these are moments, as football fans, that we live for and will remember forever.

That's why I like the Anfield Rd song. It's a celebration of their glory days. The "49 undefeated" song is nowhere near that level, but it's still a song that proudly remembers a great team.

That said, at the other end of the scale, Villa's "have you ever won the European Cup?" song isn't quite as classy
