It's rather funny that the best Premiership team was voted as Arsenal's in 03/04, the most dramatic finish to a Premier League win was achieved by Man City, and the most thrilling games have involved Newcastle-Arsenal-Liverpool playing one another after 20 years of the EPL after Man Utd have won 12 of the 20 titles available!

The fans saying he can't use the points thing are right tbh, you can't compare to seasons and their points. When we went unbeatern it was much harder to win the league then when the chavs won it.Originally Posted by ollie the optimist
It was also hard for us to win the league in 03/04, Charlie. You're almost able to gauge our chances by the arrogance of the media prior to a season. Manchester United v Chelsea was the penultimate game of the season, billed as the 'title decider'. (I don't actually believe in 'randomness' when it comes to these fixtures being set)
We actually played Chelsea at 3pm on a Saturday in our first fixture that season. Not televised, nothing. We were given almost no hope ahead of the season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, were expected to win the league in 04, less so (ironically) in 05 given our unbeaten season previous. Given what they spent, Chelsea made league success an inevitability.

Thats what i said.
I thought you meant the difference in year (04 to 05) as opposed to team (Arsenal to Chelsea), hence the reason i italicised 'us'.
Anyways, no worries. Just a long day at work!

Loose a game is unbelievable! for that simple reason, they are the best! forget how many goals, or points they had! they did not loose
Toeing the party line, is our Jack. He was bawling like a baby when we failed to win the Carling Cup. Good to see we've coached that "not winning is failure" shit out of him. He is now ready to return.Jack Wilshere @JackWilshere
Andrian Durham please do not say you would rather win a cup than finish 3rd in the league! Not just Financially but we also have a chance
The good times. That puts a smile on my face and Wenger will always be remembered for that. What a bloody team. The telepathic football we played...!
As good as the football was, that team was also very physically imposing.
Athlete ball at it's best tbh.
We won a trophy .....
But this team had it all . Amazing midfield including Edu/Gilberto, amazing wingers on BOTH sides of the pitch in Pires/Ljungberg, great defence. Leaders on the pitch, Keown/Sol/Lauren/PV4/Bergkamp/Henry ! Also had good back up players that could be thrown in the deep end.
Out of our current team, only RVP could get in the invincible team.
As much as I loved him, Sagna is better than Lauren was.We won a trophy .....
