On a serious note. Be honest.

If you had the choice of being the invincibles and winning the title, or doing the (proper) Treble, which would you pick?

Treble 100%

Didn’t they draw 12 games during that invincible season?

Not exactly invincible

Not exactly invincible

Theoretically you could be invincible by drawing all your games, then getting relegated on 38 points

 

[I'm With Stupid]

This from a gunners fan who cheat on almost all corners

Yep, it's fine to moan about players crowding the keeper and trying to get in his way while making no attempt to get to the ball. It's not fine to moan about it for one team and not another. So fine, chalk off Stones' goal as long as you're also going to chalk of Gabriel's and about six other Arsenal goals this season alone.

Nosferatus ears are enormous, they've got to be comedy ears, and Robbie's teeth have gotten bigger, did Laing's cap them for him?

Imagine being on an Arsenal road trip sat between Nosferatu and the salad dodger. It must feel like escaping the tar pits of Mordor.

Love it

Watched match in a bar in Riga with Dortmund fans, oh what a night

Beautiful wasn't it. That is what we love about the premier league. They have gone to City, Spurs and Villa and came through unbeaten with two wins. They pop off to Bournemouth and lose. I am glad I followed it up with they will lose somewhere unexpectedly.

Don’t click, just laugh.

Arsenal fans should be the absolute last group of people criticizing the decision. Their players do the same week in, week out, albeit worse, sometimes with two or three players. Apparently it's "genius" when their team does it.

Do these people have no self-awareness?

Would I be correct that the salad dodger is the Ainsley Harriott stunt double?

Not Mr DT who must have been having the DT's to post such shit.

Different rules though in terms of ref protection against fouls, thresholds for penalties and so on. Plus VAR. Plus quality of other teams. That's why it's so hard to make a direct comparison on a points basis and instead look at the quality of the players and base it on that.

Barcelona scored 87 points in Laliga in the 2009 season and that's the greatest club side there's ever been. Pretty sure they are better than last season's Arsenal team who scored 89 points!

Barca got 99 points in 2010 and 97 in 2011 btw yet those sides were inferior to the 2009 team

Ok do it by trophies - Invincibles still look overrated. They were also arrogant and disrespectful - we all still laugh at that penalty farce by Pires and Henry.

didn't we do something like that in the 30's? relegated as top scorers

City's Treble and Centurians achievements were superior to anything arsewipes have ever achieved.

City were swashbuckling, scored goals, won games home and away.

arsewipes played for draws with plenty of 0-0s, less points, less wins & goals !!

 

[bluemoon32]

Going unbeaten all season is a hell of an achievement but the reality is, we've outdone that since.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Keown in full Arsenal spokesman mode on Talkshite.

He's just accused Webb of interference with the arsenal sending off. Claiming he was listening In to VAR and joining in the conversation.

You would be correct.

I would rather win the league and the league cup in the same season than be invincible (in only the league).

We have already achieved better in the league than the invincibles, our Centurions season is already a better Premier League achievement, even if the Arsenal cult won't admit it. More points = better.

In fact, ten premier league champions have gotten more points than the invincibles, that's not even counting runner up teams like Liverpool.

The invincibles didn't win any other trophy in the season. So id rather be one of the 17 other premier league winning teams to win the league whilst also winning another major honour in the same season. Arsenal went undefeated (in the league) yet ended the season with less trophies than over half the premier league winning teams since the premier league began.

Congratulations arsenal. You won the league without losing a game, gets you the same thing as any other team that won the league. But unlike other teams, they didn't win anything else in the season, didn't do back to back title wins. Chelsea took the following title at a breeze and it was a further decade before Arsenal even became runners up again.

The "Is Yours Gold?" crowd are hilarious. The tiny gold memento of achievement isn't a trophy but their fans act like it's the holy grail.

Double treble mate,don't forget the domestic one.

 

[Yankunian]

ha ha that was brilliant - I was in the Clock End that day, last time I went to Highbury

and following that cock up penalty we broke away only for the ref to pull it back when the ball was still in play but we won't talk about that as it favoured Arsenal

Domestic quad, English clean sweep.
