They've done even better than ignoring it. They've spared no blushes and rolled out Jeff Powell. So after this defeat there's only really one question to be asked - is this chav side the best team of all time? As you'll notice, they already play better football than the Invincibles ever did, The telepathic beauty of their game, the purity of their ideals, the breathtaking way in which they dismantle the other mere mortal teams in this league (leaving aside the recent destruction of their impervious back four which was an expected and in fact healthy indicator of just how good they really are).
So how good? Jeff has provided league tables. Are they as good as, say, Milan of 1990. I would say that's an easy one - yes, of course. How about Liverpool of 1981. Absolutely, no argument there. Man Utd of 1968? Barca of 2009? Munich of 74? Ajax of 72? Madrid of 59?
YES! YES! YES! YES! OH GOD, OH GOD, OH GOD, YES!
