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.

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.

Chav’s came so close to doing it, beaten only by us 1-0, we hardly got out of our own half, that Mourhino team was as good if not better than the Tarquins team.

Far better

Delooney referring to us as "State linked," today rather than owned. Hmm.

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.

Ah, but you are forgetting the other clubs were handicapped by FFP then, whilst City were busy cheating with inflated sponsorships. So you have to take that into account.

Not sure about the pearl necklace ;)

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

I’ll go out on a limb and say we have an important game early tomorrow?

Jack is one of us though

Preston North End are Invincibles. Won the League without losing a game. Also won the FA Cup without conceding a goal to do the double.

Only 22 games though wasn’t it?
