Yes. They drew 12 games that season and their points return has been surpassed since then. They also only won the league that season and Chelsea put them out the champions league at the quarter finals so they did get beat by English teams.

Who's gone undefeated since ?

I'm with throbber here. Its an interesting and admirable wee stat to what go alongside what actually matters. No more than that. 

There are no extra points for it, and if you went the season unbeaten, but finished second, no one would give a f**k, and you would be analysing your failure to convert draws into wins.

I was actually going to point out that there isn’t a trophy for going the season undefeated but they actually made one for that season so fair fucks

 

Your commitment to penis related social media is admirable.

Surely one of the most impressive unbeaten seasons has to be AC MIlan in the early 1990s.  I think they went nearly two years without losing a league game.

Nah...going undefeated is a piece of piss apparently.

How impressive an undefeated season is surely depends on how few of those results are draws. A team could conceivably go undefeated and still get relegated if they draw every game.

Not us, we'd have finished 8th last season.

The only division (English and Scottish Leagues) drawing every game would have seen you relegated last season was Scottish League 2. Even then you could have avoided the drop... 

Yes, I'm bored.

In England 40 points is usually the benchmark for guaranteed survival so 38 points I’m sure sees you relegated some seasons.

I don't doubt it would. That wouldn't have been the case last season though.

95/96 - 99/00 - 04/05 - 05/06 - 06/07 - 07/08 - 08/09 - 09/10 - 11/12 - 13/14 - 14/05 - 18/19 - 19/20 - 21/22 for example.  

None of them were undefeated though.

I’d say If you drew every game of a season you’d have a good chance of staying up then.

14 times out of 31 it would've been enough given the 5 teams who went down on 38 points all had - GD.  

All very hypothetical though as it's never happened and never will.

Aren't you arguing against yourself now? 

Not that that's an unusual thing here.
