    Remind me, in what season were Arsenal very successful while winning every game 1-0?

    One nil or one hundred nil they are both three points

    After last season it's nice to score one and not be a point or two away from the relegation zone.

    Yes, lots of 'em! Along with 2-0 wins, 3-0 wins, 4-0 wins, stuff like that.

    The current list of teams on similar runs to City's tells us all we need to know.

    Didn’t they win the title at Anfield by 2 to win the title in the last game of the season. 1 wouldn’t have been enough.

    Yes. They won the league on goals scored, having won previous matches by scores such as 5-1, 4-1, 3-0, 4-1, 5-0, etc.

    But hey, George Graham's successful Arsenal sides and Erol Bulut's Cardiff City are very similar really.

    1 - 0 = 3 points
    8 - 9 = 0 points

    It makes no difference how many you win by, if you win every game 1 nil you win the league

    So copying Eric's post again is just negative nonsense.

    You'll be copying his other post, we are scoring the wrong type goals next

    ooo touchy..heh. Your examples do make you look daft. Bulut is not more important than the club. No manager or player is so stop trying to bodyguard him

    If only there was some way of taking all these types of actions and putting them into some sort of table over an equal amount of games, maybe home and away to balance it up. Then at the end you see where everybody is based on wins, loses and goal difference.

    Same as the Eric stat the other day that said we'd lost to teams above us but beaten teams below us. My God!

    The football is dog sh1te, i agree, but its been better than the last 2 season easily.

    Eric's post? I took these stats from Saturday's Racing Post. I thought Eric had stopped posting?

    You may be content with Bulut's tedious, turgid, toothless brand of football, but not everyone is. Not by a long chalk.

    But you carry on beating the drum as loudly as you can. The empty seats all around the CCS are telling their own story.

    Erol would need to visit Saville Row to even be mentioned in the same post as George Graham.

    No one ever said they were similar, Gunman as usual agreed with the rest and twisted one comment to distract from the point that one nil wins every week wins the league with record points, so the post is a load of negative cobblers

    *Geeky statto warning*

    You can play around with the dates here to see the run-in. It was pretty wild, even before that game.

    https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/...01-march-1989/

    Arsenal were 16 points clear of Liverpool with +15 goal difference over them on 1 Mar, although Liverpool had 3 games in hand. (Norwich, Millwall and Coventry City were 2nd to 4th!).

    On 1 Apr, Arsenal were 2 points clear and by Hillsborough, Liverpool were top on goal difference. Arsenal pulled away again as Liverpool didn't play for almost a month, but Liverpool clawed it back by playing 7 games in 21 days (including the replayed semi-final and FA cup final), winning six of them.

    Liverpool won 15 of 17 matches from 1st March - the only two they didn't win were a 0-0 with Everton, their first match after Hillsborough, and the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal when 1-0 would have been enough anyway.

    As for Arsenal, they won just 6 out of 11 in that period, and went into Anfield collecting just one point from two home games with Derby and Wimbledon.

    All things considered, you'd imagine Liverpool as being the mentally stronger in the 89th minute of that match, despite everything they'd been through. The craziest end to a league season there's ever been, surely.
