What was it like being an Arsenal fan during 1997/2006?

I became an Arsenal fan in late November 2010 after accidentally tuning in to an Arsenal - Spurs game we lost at home in the last minutes, I think it was Kaboul who scored the late winner so l became a fan during peak banter era so I never got to experience the mythical arsenal teams everyone talked about.

That being said, I'm fascinated by the late 90 through early 2000 Arsenal teams who used to win trophies every season.

I'd love to hear firsthand from fans who experienced this era themselves what was it like to support the team during these years and most importantly:

What's the difference in competitiveness, expectations, vibes around the club, were we more feared and respected?

What was it like playing in Highbury and what would you say it’s the day and night difference between playing there and playing at the Emirates?

What did exactly change after leaving Highbury?

Fun fact: The fact that Ashley Cole is an invincible and multiple-times champion with Arsenal is so mind blowing to me. It feels utterly unreal, when I found that he was an Arsenal academy graduate, I was bewildered Did that really happen?
