Which is the better achievement

[Rjk]

Arsenal's invincibles
Or
Man City's 100 points

[Harry Monk]

Preston North End's Invincible season. Whilst they played less games than Arsenal, they were undefeated in league AND cup.

[Rjk]

That wasn't the question

[jamieccfc]

Impressive as 100 points is I think as a 1 off going the entire season undefeated is more impressive imo I’m sure they went 49 games unbeaten in league games?

[Rjk]

I think the 100 points is more impressive. There are only 114 points available to play for - that's 88% of the points they could have had

Really? Say they did these 2 things at the same time, Man City win the league on 100 points, losing a couple, and Arsenal come 2nd on 80 odd but dont lose a game....... I get that they both won that seasons, but if you put them together surely the higher the total the better you did?

[Rjk]

The equivalent over a 46 game championship season would be 121 points!

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Arbroath's 36-0 win against Bon Accord. Neither Arsenal or Man City got anywhere near to that ..

And back to Preston beating Hyde 26-0😂😂😂

Arsenals invincible season.
100 points is only a number and only possible because it's 3 points for a win.

Liverpool won the title in 78/79 after conceding just 16 goals in 42 games. They would have had 98 points if it was 3 for a win. That's a greater achievement than Man City's 100.

How is 98 points from a potential 126 better than 100 from 114? I don't understand your logic

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

hmmmm...98 in 42 games versus 100 in 38 games..only one winner for me

The game was a bit different back then.

[WJ99mobile]

The invincibles was more enjoyable achievement - all about spirit.

The 100 points was just absurd. Playing football that was almost unbeatable. Harder achievement, but somehow more boring

[Wales-Bales]

It's the Man Utd treble for me.

I agree with what you’re saying that’s why I said as a one off, I would say the arsenal team had a more competitive league

[jamieccfc]

I didn’t see that option

[Wales-Bales]

I didn’t see that option

In was an unforgivable omission

Ok let's phrase the question another way...

You stumble across a dusty old lamp in a cave somewhere, give it a run and out pops a genie, your first two wishes are obvious : £100 billion pounds and for piers Morgan to catch his scrotum on barbed wire once a week.
But you're stumped for the third, so the genie offers you two choices - go the next season unbeaten, or go the next season winning 88% of the points available - which of those 2 options would you choose?

And back to Preston beating Hyde 26-0������

Don't forget Man City have still got to play us...

the first because no-one would be able to work out 88% of points available.

100 points in the premier League, 121 points in the championship

Seems like you are right....
There has been a gradual increase of points the top teams have got over the years.

Arsenal's invincibles
Or
Man City's 100 points

Swansea consistent 63% possession trumps the lot.
