Does anyone think they can repeat Arsenal's unbeaten season in 2003-04?
If they can avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, then who knows what might happen.

Retaining something or winning it three times, especially in a row, is considered a huge deal in some football tournaments. For example, Brazil winning the Jules Rimet trophy for the third time and keeping it.
United got no such accolade yet you win it once yet avoid defeat in all your league matches, you get a gold one...if you're Arsenal.
Nothing for the first retention, nothing for the second. Nothing for winning it three times in a row, nothing for doing that same thing the second time around. Not even a special accolade for the tenth time they'd won that particular Premier League trophy.
I suspect, depending on how the league pans out, should United win it'll be the normal trophy and should the Gunners finish second they'll probably get diamond encrusted runner-up medals for some reason or another. Going the whole season whilst conceding the fewest number of goals to players born of Polish origin, I suspect.
I think they will get beat on Sunday though
If come May United are top of the table then in all honesty I couldn't care.
Chelsea with a point to prove should turn them over at the weekend.
Agreed conveniently forgotten they have only won 1 away game
Who has conveniently forgotten?
What tactics were those? Because I swear I watched the match and didn't see any.
Going unbeaten doesn't matter. We have the most points from the fewest games played. That what counts.
Given the recent relative fortunes of both clubs, you'd be hard-pushed to say Chelsea should be winning that game.
Strong irony
Clearly no idea what football is.
Defensive tactics when we had more of the ball, more shots, more on target, less fouls and we were always looking dangerous. First half we we by far the better side and 2nd half we sat back and said 'come on arsenal' show us what you got.
Im going to guess your team plays in the SPL which instantly nullifies any comments you make about defensive football when the SPL is possibly the worst league on earth.
Defensive performance, were not bloody Rangers you know.
As for the question, no we wont go unbeaten, we will try and win all 3 competitions we are left in. That is how we role.
Perhaps. But I don't doubt that the gesture was made on behalf of the Premier League for no other reason than 'because it's Arsenal'
No doubt all sorts of special commemorative trophies would have been awarded and paraded shoud Arsenal have matched United's achievements since the inception of the Premier League.
Think the rest of the league should think themselves bloody lucky we have only won 1.
Infact we should be at least 11 points clear by now but as we dropped points v WBA, Fulham and Everton when we really should of won we havnt.
I think we may very well win. Chelsea are a poor and massively overrated squad and the manager is a joke. I dont fall for stats about what such and such a guy has won, as I see it, Italians dont work in the EPL. The fact Carlo is the most successful ever goes someway to prove this as he is struggling now.
I will take a draw but I reckon after Chelsea extremely fortunate results against us last season ( they cost us the league with some terrible refereeing ) I hope we are looking to win.
If we win we will definately win the title though. I am that confident. Effectively we would be 9 points ahead of chelsea and 8 ahead of City and Arsenal*.
Of course theres a small chance blackpool could win but no body would be willing to put there house on it.
I do agree about Chelsea. They are a shadow of their former selves this season and you could easily beat them but I just hope you don't because i'd favour a a Chelsea win to keep the title interesting. It really seems like this season more than any before that no team is willing to take control of the league and put a run of wins togetehr to stay at the top. It makes it a hell of a lot more exciting than previous campaigns.
Funnily enough, the dynamic way we played yesterday was the first time this season I thought we could actually be on for a treble or some sort of double.
Still, it's just a punt. As others have said, so long as we're top come May that's all that matters.
