This year it's Palace away. They screwed us last year by making it half 12. What could go wrong this time? I reckon Spurs at home, Chelsea away and Man City home all go to TV.

Unbeaten during a whole season is incredible at any level, never mind a top flight. I enjoyed that Arsenal team up until about '05 when it really started to disappear. Patrick Vieria, for me, the greatest midfielder of the PL era - he could do everything tackling, scoring, good in the air, leader... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always my number one PL player until recently, I just love wee Kante. Bergkamp in his prime was unbelievable. Still remember Elliott kind of just applauding him after scoring THAT hat-trick. Arsene and Arsenal really did revolutionise the British game, it's a shame it ended the way it did for Arsene.

Dan LCFC Posted 11 October 2018 Share Posted 11 October 2018 Man City for me. They didn't go unbeaten, of course, and that loss at home to Man Utd was a huge blow really as they blew the best possible way to win the league, but other than Arsenal's unbeaten record, Man City broke not far off every record last year, they absolutely wiped the floor with the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 11 October 2018 Share Posted 11 October 2018 Arsenal for me. As it was some years ago people don't remember them so well, but they played football as good as, if not better than Man City. The amount of games they were 3 and 4 up after 20 minutes during their run-in in was ridiculous. Another thing going in their favour - they won the title on the first possible occasion against Tottenham Hotspur in their most hated rivals ground whereas Man City by contrast lost at home to their city rivals in the game they had to win it, which for me took a lot of gloss over their win. They also lost to Liverpool in the Champions League around the same period which gave you the feeling that though they were exceptional, they had vulnerabilities. Arsenal also went unbeaten and kept their motivation up despite already winning the league when most teams would take their foot off the gas which has to be respected. On top of that Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Cole, Campbell and Viera are among the very best players to ever play in our league. When they retire I have no doubt that David Silva, Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne will also be remembered in that way but other players in that Man City team still need to convince me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at that period Man United were dominant and won it the following two seasons. Having the mentality, stamina and depth to go on and the two other big trophies that season does it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Invincibles defence was absurd. Sol Campbell might be a bit weird but at his peak he and Ashley Cole walk into Man City's backline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, even though I plumped for the Invincibles, when you consider what Utd did that year, and how they did it it really was fvcking phenomenal. Amazing team.

Whilst I may not go quite that far he certainly is for me the greatest British left back ever and the greatest to ever play in the Premier League. He was also England's best player for about 5 years too. I always felt he got a hard deal, he was truly a wonderful player. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 12 October 2018 Share Posted 12 October 2018 If this is about comparing best left-backs, then Maldini doesn't count, as he played centre-back for most of his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
