Another gobshite ex-Liverpool player.

I say this all the time and it's really grating that everyone acts like they've won a PL and a UCL with a team of minimum wage players signed from the nearest Tesco.

Being 346m down does not mean you've done it on a budget. Liverpool are eating at our end of the dinner table and acting like they're getting scraps off the floor.

Also, net spend from transfer fees is not the only way a club can generate income and nobody ever claimed it was until they sold Coutinho to whatever crackhead was on the phone at Barcelona.

Kind of agree with this - but its not like the invincible title hasn't ever been achieved before with PNE doing it before the PL existed.
Plus we'd still have won the league if Arse had that season at the same time as our 100 points. So as good as invincible is, its not the pinnacle.

Arsenal were awarded with a gold premier league trophy as well.

We got awarded a charge sheet.

It's funny that they say "sold players" when speaking about nett spend, as if that was their plan.
They had no option, the player wanted to leave.
It's not surprising how many players want to leave Liverpool once they have established themselves. They are nothing more than a stepping stone club punching above their weight.
At least utd fans are waking up to the realities of football ups and downs. Scousers think they have been relevant forever, and forever will be.
Deluded twats.

This, for me, is the argument for why our 100 points was more impressive than Arsenal’s “invincible” season.

We would have beaten them with our points total, so by the only measure that really matters, ours was a greater achievement.

That’s even ignoring that we actually conceded just 1 more goal and kept 2 more clean sheets than they did, as well, whilst winning 6 more games.

Winning 26 games and drawing 12 is not more impressive than winning 32, losing just 2, with 4 draws.

38 draws = invincible
Could also mean relegation.

Is going unbeaten that great ? It sounds amazing but if you look at it, 12 draws wasn't it.
Would a team that drew every match and got relegated be as great as that arsenal side ? Both go unbeaten.

Cheated against Portsmouth, Pires has even admitted he dived otherwise Pompey would have beaten them.
Should be an question mark against that "Invincible" tag.

Only one true "Invincibles" and that would be Preston North End, unbeaten in league and won FA cup double, did not concead a goal in any FA cup match that season.

Pires admits to diving against Portsmouth

I couldn't believe what i was listening to today when Keown said "There is no greater achievement in football than being unbeaten throughout a season"!!
No mention of City's Treble winning or 100 points seasons.

Don't forget this is Arsenal.

They're not exactly the most ambitious club in the division. Arsene Wenger would often refer to how finishing in the top four felt like winning a trophy.

If you celebrate that level of mediocrity it stands to reason you'd think going unbeaten over a season is a big deal.

They don't even have to use all these expressions, they could just use the factual "owned by a member of the AD royal family" or "owned by the Vice President of the United Arab Emirates", both of which convey the meaning they are trying to get over. "State-linked" is so weak it means next to nothing. State-owned to State-sponsored to State-financed to State-supported to State-linked isn't the gotcha they think it is, other than in their tiny minds. Just give it up and be factual, for Christ's sake.

Totally agree. I posted because, for him, it is a change of tone. He usually manages to shoe horn Sportwashing and all the other BS into his bitter ramblings. Perhaps he's rattled by the letter rumours? Hope so.
