Also the Invincibles finished on 90 points, we could lose five more games and still match that.
So who is the best Premier League side ever?
There have been some great pl sides. United from 99-03. Arsenal over a similar period. Chelsea 04-08. United again in 06-09. We have been knocking on the door since 2011 or so but haven't really cemented a place in that bracket yet.
This feels like a thread a united fan would start at this point, trying to hold onto past glories. I would be fairly confident that in 2-3 years time we will be talked about as one of the greatest but not now. It's like talking of Newcastle as one of the greatest pl sides of all time in the late 90's.
Some of the football we are playing is the best I've seen in the pl and a joy to watch but next year will be a huge test mentally. Winning titles and cups back to back is what rightly gets you into the goat bracket
