I'm surprised neither of the 7-0 wins are in that collection.

Beating a side that finished 4th 7-0 is a awesome result!

Absolutely. Especially as we needed to win that to break the record I think!

it was huge, but what i mean, is that in 50 years time, not many people will remember it.

some of you quite deluded at what makes things great...but thats just my imo.

wenger at no4 shouldnt be there.
id have the double 71, cup final 79, herb chapmans team of the 30's all ahead of wenger being signed as manager.
winning the double twice, going unbeaten etc as wengers achivements should be there, but simply 'hiring wenger' in our top 4 is a very blinkered view of our history........then again, why am i even surprised.
shooting stars never stop, even when they reach the top.
