Panna King Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Henry and Bergkamp is probably the best strikeforce partnership in the history of the Prem, the skill and understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 That Arsenal side were brilliant, but I think Manchester United 2008 were the best, Ronadlo, Rooney and Tevez at their peak were phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liquidator Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just thought I would end this debate with proof beyond opinion by using Science and some good old stats (My fav thing! NOT) produced by a Liverpool fan who works at University of Salford. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25617-best-ever-english-football-team-revealed-by-statistics/ Dont bother replying, while I agree with the result, I never ever want to waste my time defending this truth.

Dave Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Those saying Manchester United in 1999 need to remember they were fortunate that Leeds United beat Arsenal in the second to last game of the season and they scored two really late goals to win The Champions League. A great side but they had good fortune at key moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted November 17, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2017 Invincibles for me, loved everything about that team. So good to watch. When i think of that team at the peak of their powers and the fact they never won the league back to back makes me realise just how good Ferguson was. The hardest thing to do as a manager must be to keep a team motivated after they've reached the top of the mountain. Wenger and even that great Arsenal team never managed to successfully defend a Premier League title, yet Fergie managed it multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Maybe not the best but Man United 93/94 should be considered one of the best. Looking back at the records now, defensively that Chelsea 04/05 team was unbelievable. To concede so little goals. That and they should've went 'Invicible' as well, think Man City away was their only defeat. Seem to remember it was the first time in a long time that Lampard missed a game? Could be wrong.

Yes, it was City. It's pointless saying they should have gone undefeated, the fact is they didn't. Arsenal could have been beaten in 2003/2004. The fact is they didn't. Chelsea's defensive record was indeed impressive in 2004/2005. Conceding only 15 which is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Arsenal Invincibles were already knocked out of the league cup and lost in the group stages in the Champions League during around this time. We lost 1 game in the league in 2005, set a tremendous amount of records, won the league cup and made it to the semi-final in the Champions League and only lost due to a controversial incident. United treble and double speak for themselves. Teams that won the league and had enough strength/balance to do well in other cup competitions, particularly the Champions league, should be seen as variables. Especially in that era.

Cicero Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 But surely cup competitions like the Champions league, FA Cup and League Cup should be considered? Shows how strong the team really is if they balanced both the league and cups. We broke the record for the most amount of wins by a premier league title winning team last year, yet I wouldn't dare rank it alongside considering we weren't in the Champions League.

Won the league and Champions League that year and won the league again a year later while reaching the Champions League final again. We came so close to the league in 2009 but as much as it hurts to admit it, we were simply pipped by the better side. Very good side you had between 2007 and 2009. Excellent individuals in that 2008 team, but not the cohesion of 1999. Those pre millennium players were almost telepathic. It’s probably a lot to do with nostalgia as well to be fair. We had shite like Anderson playing in ‘08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
