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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m seeing Arsenal fans come out and say that even though city and Utd have won trebles they haven’t gone a season domestically undefeated. Who cares? They won 1 trophy and finished on 90 points and didn’t win in 12/38 league games that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Throbber is right. The end of that season Arsenal players were playing for draws. It was poor stuff to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/shadygooner_/status/1668334237802721280?s=46 sir Alex actually does say the achievement stands above everything else in that link. What on earth is he talking about as a man who won the treble as well as numerous other trophy hauls in his career? The Arsenal team weren’t invincible they got beat by 3 English clubs that season to get eliminated from the cup competitions. It’s only since arguing this on Twitter I have realised what a fragile fan base they have! I think the funniest stat is that Liverpool lost only one game in the 18/19 season and still finished second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited June 13, 2023 by throbber 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

In England 40 points is usually the benchmark for guaranteed survival so 38 points I’m sure sees you relegated some seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very hypothetical though as it's never happened and never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
