UnkNuk Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 And, unfortunately, Man City won - clobbering Fulham 4-0. So with two games left to play, City leads Arsenal by two points. Even Arsenal's large goal difference has diminished - City is +58, Arsenal is +60. City plays Tottenham on the 14th and West Ham on the 19th. Arsenal plays Man United tomorrow and Everton on the 19th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, after some googling, it appears they've set the European record for unbeaten consecutive games. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/bayer-leverkusen-record-unbeaten-run-xabi-alonso-26289 Not clear from my googling: has any Bundesliga team ever gone undefeated through a whole season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. In England's old 1st division and the Premier League only Preston way back in the day and Arsenal did it. So it's pretty rare.

UnkNuk Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Honestly, you lose one game in 2024 and it costs you the title. Actually, as they mentioned on the telecast, the title was lost between Dec 23 and Dec 31. Three games, a potential nine points, and Arsenal got one point. The draw with Liverpool, in Liverpool, was understandable. But to lose to West Ham and Fulham back-to-back ----- ARRGH! Still and all, the team is going in the right direction. It's just their misfortune to be a very good team at the same time as another team is a super-team. Congrats to Man City. Four titles in a row is remarkable. Now let's see what Arsenal does in the (too short) off-season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
