There are now 6 teams who can't catch us (phew - safe from relegation); one more win and over half the league can't catch us
 
Forget Utd + Arsenal.

Our closest competitor City are a Norwich' worth of points away from us
 
Frogfish said:
Which won't be long according the doomsayers for 2019-nCoV. So another 12 points perhaps ?

Having seen us pull defeat from the jaws of victory for the last 30 years, it really wouldn't surprise me if the world ended the day before we are due to clinch it this season.

In fact maybe this is the straw @Halmeister can cling to
 
100 points from 102 Available

Incredible stuff really in just 34 games

Considering it took city 38 games to get 100..

Killing it...
 
Was watching the first ever Pl season back in 92 other day, United after 38 games (42 game season back then) had 72 points. Liverpool after 25 games have 73.
 
Thank god for the Refs, VAR, other teams allowing us to win and blood doping... or we’d never have all these points.
 
Longest unbeaten runs in European league football

Published: Wednesday 13 December 2017, 14.00CET
Celtic can make it 55 games unbeaten in the Scottish Premier League tonight, an achievement that would put Brendan Rodgers' side up on our all-time unbeatables leaderboard.

UEFA.COM FEATURES



Avoid defeat at home against Hamilton Academical tonight and Celtic will take their unbeaten Scottish Premier League run to 55 games – a long enough unbeaten spell to put them on UEFA.com's all-time domestic unbeatables leaderboard. Behold the longest league streaks without a loss achieved in European top divisions.
RELATED ITEMS
104: Steaua Bucureşti (1986–89)
The Romanian side set this European record during their mid-1980s golden age under Emeric Jenei and later Anghel Iordănescu. Winners of the 1985/86 European Champion Clubs' Cup, semi-finalists in 1987/88 and runners-up in 1988/89, a team featuring the likes of Miodrag Belodedici, László Bölöni, Marius Lăcătuş, Victor Piţurcă and Gavril Balint were unrivalled at home. They lifted five straight titles until a resurgent Dinamo Bucureşti knocked them off their perch in 1989/90. They also won all 15 Romanian Cup matches they played in that period, making their total domestic unbeaten run 119 fixtures.
88: Lincoln (2009–14)
When Lincoln became the first Gibraltarian side to play in Europe on 2 July 2014, drawing 1-1 with HB Tórshavn before a 5-2 loss in the Faroe Islands, defeat was not something the Red Imps were used to. Between 9 May 2009 and 19 September 2014 they did not lose in the Gibraltar Premier Division, at 1,959 days the longest chronological unbeaten league streak (though they did suffer two Rock Cup defeats in that time as well as the reverse at HB). That came in the midst of a run of 14 straight championships from 2002/03 to 2015/16 that equalled Skonto's European record.
63: Sheriff (2006–08)
The Tiraspol-based side utterly dominated Moldovan football in winning ten straight championships between 2001 and 2010. However, they hit some kind of critical mass under Belarusian coach Leonid Kuchuk in 2006/07, becoming the first club to claim the national crown without losing a game. Arch-rivals Zimbru finally ended this famous streak in March 2008, before Sheriff marched onto yet another title regardless.
62: Celtic (1915–17)
Under their first manager Willie Maley, Celtic established a United Kingdom record for an unbeaten sequence of 62 matches between November 1915 and April 1917, including two games in a day, played against Raith Rovers and Motherwell. Patsy Gallagher and Jimmy 'Napoleon' McMenemy were the stars of a team which also featured Alec 'The Icicle' McNair, who still holds the Scottish club's appearances record of 604.

Levadia, midway through their phenomenal run
61: Levadia Tallinn (2008–09)
They were sponsored by a local metals firm and the rest of Estonia certainly felt Levadia's steel under boss Igor Prins, although Trans Narva finally ended their extraordinary sequence in November 2009, on the penultimate day of the season. "The fans will remember our impressive undefeated run, although I won't deny that we went such a long time unbeaten because of an absence of strong opposition," said Prins at the time.
60: Union Saint-Gilloise (1933–35)
Still known as Union 60 for their run of invincibility, which concluded with a February 1935 defeat by Daring Club de Bruxelles, the side from the Brussels suburbs collected three straight titles during their winning streak. To mark their achievements, the Pappaert Cup is handed out each season to the team that enjoys the longest unbeaten sequence. The trophy is named after Union's then captain Jules Pappaert, a key player in the squad alongside striker Vital Van Landeghem, Belgium's top scorer with 29 goals in 1934.
59: Shirak (1993–95)
59: Pyunik (2002–04)
Two clubs share Armenia's national record. "Shirak were a very good team in those days," recalled Andranik Adamyan, who coached them in their 1990s heyday. "We had our leaders, but all the players were ready to burst into action and show their strength. We had a good working atmosphere in the team and also that winning spirit. That's why we were unbeatable." Unlike Shirak, Pyunik were led by three different coaches during their successful run: Oscar López, Mihai Stoichiță and then Vardan Minasyan.

Milan's fearsome class of 1993
58: AC Milan (1991–93)
The Milan side that landed the European Cup in 1989 and 1990 under Arrigo Sacchi were labelled 'the Immortals'; the vintage that picked up three successive Italian titles under Fabio Capello between 1992 and 1994, as well as the 1993/94 UEFA Champions League, were 'the Invincibles'. Indeed, the Rossoneri won the 1991/92 Scudetto without losing a game at the heart of this marvellous run. "Capello did very well in continuing the job started by Sacchi and adding only small pieces to complete the perfect mosaic," said former Milan midfielder Roberto Donadoni.
58: Olympiacos (1972–74)
Following investment from shipping magnate and club president Nikos Goulandris, defeats at PAOK in October 1972 and April 1974 book-ended an exceptional period under coach Lakis Petropoulos. The Piraeus outfit claimed three Greek championships in a row from 1972 to 1975, setting a record with 104 goals in the 1973/74 campaign. Yves Triantafyllos was their star marksman, scoring 58 goals in 80 matches in his three-year stay, while Giorgos Delikaris, Michalis Kritikopoulos and Romain Argyroudis comprised a stellar supporting cast.
58: Skonto (1993–96)
At the start of a coaching career which would peak when he led Latvia to UEFA EURO 2004, Aleksandrs Starkovs gathered an all-conquering lineup at Skonto, with Vitālijs Astafjevs, Jurijs Ševļakovs, Mihails Zemļinskis and Vladimirs Babičevs the backbone of their club and national teams. "Every point we dropped was a painful blow for us because we were confident we would win every match," long-standing Skonto captain Zemļinskis recalled. "That winning spirit allowed us to win 14 titles in a row [the record subsequently equalled by Lincoln]. We did not lose a single league match in 1994 and 1995."
56: Benfica (1976–78)
In 2012, Porto came within one game of matching Benfica's national record, set under Englishman John Mortimore. The former Chelsea defender boasted great players such as Fernando Chalana, Humberto Coelho, Toni, Nené, Manuel Bento, Shéu, João Alves and Minervino Pietra – now assistant to current Benfica boss Rui Vitória. Mortimore's men went unbeaten from October 1976 until a 1-0 loss at Porto in late August 1978.

James Rodríguez in his Porto prime in 2012
=55: Porto (2010–12)
Manager Jesualdo Ferreira kicked off this stirring run in March 2010 and André Villas-Boas kept it going, through a season when Porto also won the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League. However, Porto finally dropped the baton under Vítor Pereira with a 3-1 reverse at Gil Vicente. "We showed an apathy that doesn't befit a team that wants to be champions," said the coach, whose charges at least surpassed their club record of 53 games unbeaten under Sir Bobby Robson between 1994 and 1996.
=55: Shakhtar Donetsk (2000–02)
The Pitmen's gold rush began with a 2-1 victory against Nyva Ternopil in June 2000 and continued despite the resignation of coach Viktor Prokopenko. Italian boss Nevio Scala took over and brought the best out of big players like Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, Andriy Vorobey, Julius Aghahowa, Isaac Okoronkwo, Brandão and Mariusz Lewandowski. He guided Shakhtar to their first-ever Ukrainian title in 2001/02, though the run ended six matches into the next campaign, with Scala leaving three games later.
 
The longest unbeaten home runs ever
There seems to be absolutely no stopping Liverpool at the moment.
The Reds head into Sunday’s game against Manchester United with a 51-game unbeaten run at Anfield behind them.

It is now almost 1000 days since Crystal Palace’s April 2017 triumph – the last time the Reds were beaten on home turf in the league.
But they have quite a lot of work still to do if they are to topple the clubs who lead the way in terms of undefeated home runs in league action.
Here are the top 10 …
Porto – 81 (November 2008 – February 2014)
resize

During this purple patch of Porto success, they weren’t only incredible at home but pretty formidable on the road too.
But it was at the Estádio do Dragão were they were truly unbeatable, settling nicely into a home they moved into just five years previously.
In autumn 2008, they were beaten there by Leixões but it would be the last time they’d taste defeat in league action until February 2014.



An Evandro penalty kick for Estoril 12 minutes from full-time was enough for a shock 1-0 win.
That ended a run of 81 games, 70 of them being victories and 11 ending in draws.
Panathinaikos – 85 (April 1973 – April 1978)
resize

As the amateur era in Greek football came to an end at the start of the decade, it signalled the start of something special for Panathinaikos.
For much of the 1970s, nobody could lay a glove on the Prásini at home, even as coaches came and went.
The legendary Ferenc Puskás was in fact the man responsible for starting the streak.
Renowned Brazilian tactician Aymoré Moreira took over and kept it going as did the successful Kazimierz Górski before the run finally came to an end five years after it began.
Chelsea – 86 (March 2004 – October 2008)
resize

For 86 games, Premier League sides tried and failed to topple the Blues at Stamford Bridge in a dominant era at the start of the Roman Abramovich reign.
José Mourinho was the man responsible for much of the run but it was Claudio Ranieri who started it with a 2-1 win over Fulham towards the end of his tenure.
Nobody could get the better of ‘The Special One’ (at that time he still was) in his time in charge and Avram Grant kept that run going.



#OnThisDay in 2008, a @XabiAlonso goal for @LFC ended Chelsea's 86-match home unbeaten run: http://bit.ly/OTD-Oct26

​


But Luiz Felipe Scolari’s first loss as the new manager, against Liverpool thanks to Xabi Alonso’s early strike, brought an end to the run.
In total, it lasted for an incredible 1,462 days.
Torino – 88 (January 1943 – November 1949)
resize

The iconic Grande Torino will be remembered as arguably the greatest Italian football team of all time.
Before tragedy struck on May 4, 1949 when the team was wiped out on a plane crash in the hills above Turin when returning from a friendly in Portugal, they had already established their immortality.
The club’s Filadelfia fortress, backed on by a fervent group of Granata faithful, could not be breached and they often dished out some big beatings to visiting sides.




After a 3-1 defeat to Ambrosiana-Inter in early ’43, that team never tasted defeat again as they conquered all before them and in the four-and-a-half seasons which followed, they lost 14 more games – none of them at home.
Even after the harrowing accident six years later, the team still pulled together to go unbeaten for seven more games before a derby loss ended the phenomenal streak.
Spartak Trnava – 89 (March 1968 – April 1974)
resize

Spartak Trnava’s golden period began in the late ’60s, where they were rightly considered one of Europe’s strongest and most dangerous sides.
They lifted the Mitropa Cup in 1967 and two years later came agonisingly close to reaching the European Cup final.
Despite a 2-0 win over Ajax in the second leg of their semi-final, a 3-0 defeat in Amsterdam put paid to their hopes but their incredible domestic run is still talked about today.
Club legend Anton Malatinsky started and ended the run, bookending spells in charge for Ján Hucko and Valér Švec.
Cobreloa – 91 (December 1979 – September 1985)
resize

Chile’s most successful regional team went on an incredible run at Calama into the ’80s.
From December 22, 1979 until September 22, 1985, no domestic challenger could top the Desert Foxes on their own patch.
During that spell, Cobreloa won three league titles and were also beaten twice in the final of the Copa Libertadores in successive years.
Cobreloa’s place on the list is also notable for being the highest ranked side who do not play in Europe.
Nantes – 92 (May 1976 – April 1981)
resize

Marseille may be the only French side to win the European Cup, Lyon may have been unstoppable in the noughties and Paris Saint-Germain are conquering all before them now.
But it is another Ligue 1 outfit, Nantes, who have a record that nobody has come close to and will likely never beat in French football.
A 2-1 loss to PSG on May 15, 1976 signalled the start of a run of 92 consecutive games at home without defeat, including 80 wins and 12 draws, before Auxerre finally shocked them after 1,768 days.

You have to feel a little for Nice, who were beaten 6-1 (twice), 5-0 (twice) and 4-1 on their five visits to western France, although some divine intervention may have aided them on their run.
“Shortly after I arrived, I received a bag of sand in the post from a Nantes fan from the Ivory Coast,” coach Jean Vincent recalled years later.
“It had a note that said ‘put this sand in front of the goals and you’ll be protected against defeat’. It didn’t hurt to try so I did it and you know the rest!”
Spooky!
PSV – 93 (September 1983 – March 1989)
resize

PSV have something of a habit of enjoying lengthy runs of unparalleled dominance at the Philips Stadion.
Of the top six undefeated home records in the history of the Eredivisie, they hold half of them, with their most recent ending this year after 53 games.
They also managed 53 between 1989 and 1992 but before that record started in ’89, they were just coming off a six-year, 93-match undefeated tear on home turf.

In the midst of that run came the club’s only European Cup triumph in their history too, in the 1988 season.
A sign of how tough they were to beat at home, no continental side could even overcome them at home on their run to the final.
Red Star Belgrade – 96 (August 1998 – August 2004)
resize

The Rajko Mitić Stadium. Red Star Stadium. The Marakana.
Whatever name you want to give it, the home of Serbia’s most successful team is one of the most intimidating venues for visiting teams anywhere in Europe.
Backed by a strong playing side and incredible support, they went almost 100 games in succession without defeat, spanning six years from 1998 until 2004.
But even their staggering span of 96 games is a long way off the number one spot …
Real Madrid – 121 (February 1957 – March 1965)
resize

It is frankly unbelievable that a team could go eight years playing home league games without being beaten.
When it comes to Real Madrid though, anything is possible and that’s what they managed between 1957 and 1965, across 121 fixtures.
Earlier in the 1950s, Los Blancos increased the capacity of their stadium to 120,00 and in 1955, gave it the Santiago Bernabéu name it still has today.

Fans who turned up at the venue in the years which followed were treated to one of the greatest teams ever to play the game who were unstoppable at home.
Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskás and Paco Gento were just some of the legendary names who helped achieve a record that will surely stand the test of time.
 
Nor sure how true it is, but there's a rumour that sky asked the Premier League & Barclays what they were going to give Arsenal if they went all season unbeaten, with just a few weeks to go.

They apparently realised that they'd need to honour it someway & the short time scale meant it had to be quicker to manufacture.

I find that hard to believe myself, & think they wanted it to stay 'on brand', but didn't want to potentially minimise the usual league trophy by giving them a full sized golden one.
 
I still don't think we'll last the whole season but I hope that the sky nickname for this team becomes The Untouchables.
 
A week or so ago they kept referring to us as 'The Inevitables', but that seems to have stopped. A few fans groups have been pushing 'The Unstoppables' on social media & in more mainstream interviews, so I suspect that may catch on.

I just think it's all a load of bollocks & don't really give a shit as long as we keep getting referred to as the best team in the world.

Agreed, i'm just thinking of future fume. This run is just mental. This graphic is epic (albeit football invented in 1992 etc etc) for every PL season after 26 games


  • Most wins
  • Least draws
  • Least defeats (obv)
  • Second highest goals scored
  • Joint least goals conceded
  • Best GD
 
Like it or not, if we pull it off we should also just be 'Invincibles'. Just because Arsenal did it first doesn't mean you go looking for a different adjective.

Completely agree. But we will better so it is only fair that we will be "Invinciblestest" for sure???
