Exactly and we all know that the media talk down the centurions, but talk up the invincibles.
I think Arsenal has finished on more than 85 points once in the Premier League era (invincibles season - 90 points).
Yeah when you look at arsenals bench on sunday, they didnt have that many options. Then compare that to ours where we had Alvarez, gundo, laporte, grealish, gomez, palmer on the bench and thats with walker, stones and phillips all injured. Our squad has amazing quality if not massive depth, where Arsenal are showing they have a very good 11, but when injuries hit i don't think they have the quality in depth to keep it going.
Lets not forget we are the only centurions where as arsenal weren't even the first invincibles. Preston hold that title.I genuinely prefer having the first claim to fame. Arsenal supporters and Arsenal-supporting friends that I've talked to, who are lucid about it, said that they actually played a number of rocky matches that season, and just about eked out a draw from them. They have also said that the latter end of the season was utter torture, because they were always expecting to lose a game and ruin the record.
You're right. I'm not saying they can't do it. But 1 season in their history hitting over 85 points shows it would be an outrageous achievement for them to go on and reach 90+. Especially considering the world cup and the effect that will have on their first XI.I don't honestly think that's an argument in itself. The dippers twice came second to us, obtaining respectively 97 points and 92 points. In the season they won it they obtained 99 points. I don't think I'm wrong is saying that in all other seasons of the PL and the First Division (three points for a win introduced in 1981 in England) before it, they got nowhere near the 90s.
It can happen.
I still think we'll finish above them though. Because we are terrifyingly good.
Preston bettered it - they were unbeaten in the League and the FA cup too! Brilliant achievement.Lets not forget we are the only centurions where as arsenal weren't even the first invincibles. Preston hold that title.
Not forgetting Wenger would throw defenders on when they were drawing to bottom half sides, just to keep the record.I genuinely prefer having the first claim to fame. Arsenal supporters and Arsenal-supporting friends that I've talked to, who are lucid about it, said that they actually played a number of rocky matches that season, and just about eked out a draw from them. They have also said that the latter end of the season was utter torture, because they were always expecting to lose a game and ruin the record.
How long before the press start throwing around the invincible tag?
We're 1/4 of the way through the season.
I think if we win on the weekend it might pop up. At that point we'd also have only lost 1 game in our last 38 (spurs)
