Arsenal's invincibles
Or
Man City's 100 points
Preston North End's Invincible season. Whilst they played less games than Arsenal, they were undefeated in league AND cup.
That wasn't the question
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?
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?
The equivalent over a 46 game championship season would be 121 points!
Arbroath's 36-0 win against Bon Accord. Neither Arsenal or Man City got anywhere near to that ..
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.
hmmmm...98 in 42 games versus 100 in 38 games..only one winner for me
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
It's the Man Utd treble for me.
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?

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