I don't know how the invincibles can be better when contrary to popular beleif, they weren't the first team to go a league season unbeaten, and they also did nothing in Europe that same season. Arsenal kept the same squad for the next season and that Chelski team full of new players brought by Abramovic devastated the league.
Anyways didn't we have a thread about those 2 teams only a month or so ago, amazing how the opinion can shift in an instance, I remember more people agreeing with Luke back then. You guys must hate him or something lol

The guy said Chelsea were possibly the best team to never win the champions league but Arsenal destroyed practically every team in europe, that alone tells me his thoughts

When did Arsenal "destroy" every team in Europe if they didn't win the competition itself? Obviously they would of lost somewhere.

I'm practically the best at FIFA in my household, that is of course, until my older brother beats me at it. Do you mean it like that?

I don't give a shit if he said practically.
It's like saying the N word and spelling it wrong, and saying practically you weren't being racist.

The Leeds team from 65-75 should be at least on the list.

My metaphors and analogies are known for how terrible they are 
They can stay that way
I wish I could think of one about Weezy right now to end this post with just to wind up Jamie

It's a joke that Don Revie's side isn't in this list, like Coolhead said our 65-75 team should be on there.

It doesn't help when you get cheated out of a European Cup final and lose the league by 1 point because of shit officials and shit rules.Ben wrote:It's a joke that Don Revie's side isn't in this list, like Coolhead said our 65-75 team should be on there.

28. Nottingham Forest 1977-80
Points: 965
In separate interviews around Forest’s two victorious European Cup finals, Brian Clough called winning scorers Trevor Francis and John Robertson a “cunt” and a “little fat lad” respectively. It was that very unique management that brought the very unique achievement of taking a provincial club from the second division to the top of the first and successive European Cups in four years.
But the scale of Clough’s achievement shouldn’t be confused with Forest’s exact quality though. Clough created a winning team but not a wondrous one. Like many of the great teams who had come from relatively moderate clubs, they were necessarily disciplined and driven to the Nth degree. Their defence, underpinned by Peter Shilton, was statistically the fourth best in English history and one of the meanest in Europe. That did result in some resounding performances – most of all the 2-0 win over defending champions Liverpool in the 1978-79 opening round and the 3-1 victory away to Dynamo Berlin.
But the success did take its toll on the team. In 1980, they finished as low as fifth in the English league. And, within months, that unique style of Clough’s had seen him fall out with co-manager Peter Taylor to call time on a pragmatic but prized team.
Trophies won: European Cup 1979, 1980; English league 1978; English league cup 1978, 1979
Managers: Brian Clough
Best XI: Shilton, Anderson, Clark, Lloyd, Burns; McGovern, Francis, Gemmill, Robertson, Woodcock, Birtles

Yeah it was a joke, 73 was a dodgy one as well. We went down as greats but we let ourselves down because we didn't actually win that much, I've always felt we were 'nearlymen'.
