I think so, talented players and probably harder to beat than the invincibles when things aren't going their way. Plus their football was also fun to watch unlike Chelsea's. Man City I don't count because the ridiculous amount they spend without almost any player from their academy
@@kbphtgy2039 They were invincible in the league. They were beaten 6 times across all competitive fixtures that season. Utd 98/99 lost 4 times. 2 Great teams but over the courses of both seasons I don't think saying utd 98/99 were harder to beat is controversial.
As fan of Arsenal, I would love to say that invicibles were the best. But above all by far is still ManUTD team from 98/99 for me. Premier League title, FA Cup winners, Champions League winners, Intercontinental Cup winners and 3 PL title in a row (99;00;01). That 99's CL final is just classic and one of the most inspiring games ever in history of sports.
Sbm... Even by what you say then united are the only team to win it 3 times in a row and the done that twice so the best team has to united from 98-01 or united 06-09.
@SBM Yeah and ManUtd were still obviously better because that 99 team still retained their PL title...and again the following year... and that's not even including most players were also involved in the 96 PL & FAcup double and 97 PL win so they won 5 PL's in 6 seasons from 96 to 01 when Arsenal can't ever even get 2 in a row (the 1 ManUtd didn't win RoyKeane was injured all season 97/98 and ManUtd still only lost by 1 point because Arsenal took maximum points off ManUtd with 1 game being controversial the 3-2 Arsenal win at Highbury ManUtd had at least 1 stone wall pen turned down at 2-2 in a must win game for Arsenal), ManUtd won 8 PL's in 11 seasons from 93 to 03. It's obviously ManUtd. If it was just judged only on number of PL losses in a season it would be 03/04 Arsenal but that would be a fucking stupid waste of time having a discussion because you just look at the losses amount and no point in having the programme but it shouldn't be judged like that anyway, there's more luck involved in winning the odd title here and there with 1 being like that, how many you win says a lot more...and let's be honest Arsenal were lucky to go unbeaten that PL season and they weren't as free flowing as people say they were, how many team's have won the PL with more than 73 goals, quite a few, quite a few have lost the title with way more than 73 PL goals and they never retained a PL title and didn't even come close to winning the champions league that season and still haven't won the competition fullstop, only once a finalist they've been shite in the competition to be fair and even forgetting ManUtd's high standards, Arsenal themselves managed to get to a cup final every season from 1999/00 to 2006/07....apart from 03/04 funnily enough.
07/08 was better than the treble united team, yes the treble was something that'll always be there but the fact 07/08 won 3 leagues in a row and got to back to back champions league finals takes it for me.
To me Chelsea's 2004/05 team was one of the best teams ever from a defensive standpoint, only 15 goals conceded in 38 games and just one defeat is just staggering
Reality: Man Utd 99 & 08 teams won multiple trophies in one year including European cup and the EPL & they also won the EPL three years on the trot. We've witnessed in the past few years how difficult that is to do.
As good as Man City were last season, the lack of competition they had from the top 6 needs to come into question. Arsenal were awful, Chelsea weren't much better, Liverpool were only good in Europe, Spurs were lackluster and Man Utd, despite coming second, were still really poor. Man City had no competition. If that Man City team had played 10-15 years ago, would they have accumulated 100 points? I highly doubt it.
These ifs and buts don't make your case .But for your sake footballers are better physically and technically due to advances in technology and training methodologies ...so we can't compare different eras teams with hypothetical matches rather we should gauge them using the points they got playing the teams of the same era.
It's not that Mancity had no competition..Man City destroyed all competition. City were miles ahead of the rest and there wasn't a lot of points between the rest..
The top 6 clubs last season were pathetic. Yes City were amazing, but their competition were useless. They finished 19 points above United. The title was pretty much won by December. Man Utd were terrible last season too. Look at the runners up of all the great teams to win the premier league, they were far better.
United 99 United 08 Chelsea 05 City 18 Arsenal 04 United 94 Chelsea 10 Arsenal 98 (If you win a champions league, you are the best team in Europe that season which is more impressive than just being the best in England. None of these other teams were ever the best in the world. The two United teams were. The Mourinho Chelsea team were very, very impressive and could easily have been in Istanbul that season if it wasn't for terrible refereeing officials against Liverpool. They talk about the points record on this programme, but I still think Chelsea's 95 is more impressive than City's 100. The teams Chelsea had to face to win the league (Arsenal invincibles, Ferguson United, Liverpool-the european Champions) were all much better than the teams City had to face last season. Also the defensive record of only conceding 15 is almost inconceivable looking back. They're ahead of the invincibles for me because they literally bested them the next season-the exact team, they proved they were better. Also they won another trophy too and went on to retain the title the following season. City's team last season were exceptional at times. How De Bruyne didn't win POTY I'll never know. 100 points its an amazing achievement and will only be achieved again the next time somebody comes into the premier league and revolutionises English football again. The fact that they're goalkeeper was better with his feet than a massive percentage of outfield players really says it all. Additionally they won another competition and broke the record for the most goals showing how entertaining and dominant they were. The reason they are only fourth in my list is because they had no competition. They're closest challengers were a terrible United team and the fact that they managed to get over 80 points kind of shows that the league was actually very poor last season. Still though, I reckon they'd give the other teams in this list a run for their money. The invincibles were obviously an outstanding team, but I do agree the fact that they seemingly sacrificed the champions league all in search of the record was a bit of an oversight. Henry once again proved himself to be the best striker in the leagues history and absolutely terrorised defences. They played good football as well. They were also a very intimidating side with lots of big players and would best anyone if they wanted to have a physical battle. Despite this they didn't do well in other competitions and couldn't retain the league the following season as soon as a worthy challenger emerged.
Alvin Lam, I think it is relevant because regardless of what competition they are in it is the same premier league side. It also shows how good they were that they were the best in Europe. It also takes a great team compete on so many levels and play such high importance games every three days in the latter part of the season.
Joesph Cole, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying this is a video about premier league success, not European success. It's not about being the best in Europe, this video is about the best of the Premier League. Best of Europe is for another video. For the sake of this video, the CL isn't relevant so you can't really count it as an achievement (even though of course it is outside the PL). You can't let winning the CL distract you from Premier League success. And what AFC did in the Premier league is worthy of at least being top 3 in the list.
Chelsea 04/05 One of the best Prem teams ever, easy top 3, best defence in Prem ever, Conceded only 15 goals and almost went unbeaten, only losing 1 game and had the highest points total for winning the title until City beat it.
They technically didn't almost go unbeaten. Barca almost went unbeaten in 2017/18. Chelsea had already lost a game with 3 quarters of the season to play. In fact the timing of their loss was when they were quite concerned with their season so far, because they'd dropped 7 points and weren't top and had only scored 8 goals in 9 games which included own goals/penalties/goals from corners etc...They had many narrow wins so the fact they lost 1 game narrowly isn't unlucky either.
@@hamz6197 So they didn't almost go the season unbeaten. Was it the 36th game they lost? 37th? 38th? No, nowhere near so you can't say they were nearly unbeaten. If you lose a game 2-1 when you were 2-0 down & getting battered for most of it but score a consolation goal last kick of the game 96th minute to lose 2-1 it's not a close game but judging by how you think you'd say that was a close game.
Honest think that Chelsea 04/05 team should have just been talked about more? And just scrap the 09/10, I mean they didn’t even mention the 15 goals conceded in a whole season? A record that is ridiculous. Also fighting against the best united and arsenal sides as well along with Liverpool who were also right up there, for aslong as they spoke about the invincible’s this Chelsea team should have been spoken about more.
As a united fan, that chelsea team was probably the only one which had a hex over us. Not sure where it went wrong but I do think Roman trying to influence transfers too much disrupted Mourinho's flow....I mean that chelsea literally had everything. The Shevchenko signing was probably one too much (also shouldn't have let tiago go)
Big reasons why 98/99 is still considered the best ever team in the league: 1) Context, competition and thrill 2) They had a great squad outside their starting XI that no other team did. They won the UCL without Scholes and Keane in midfield because they had Butt and Blomqvist. They had 2 of the best back up strikers in the league in Sheringham and Ole who would get into any top 6 side today (little context for why Man City is not considered as much tho they're def top 3) 3) The best ever team in the EPL should be a team that has represented the league in Europe and been successful doing so. For English football, nothing will come close to it except another treble. Maybe if this Man City team wins the treble they would get the edge because of their sophisticated and eye-catching style.
I get all those points, but surely for this argument excellence should be placed over entertainment so its 07/08 for just pure consistency. And if a team HAD to represent in europe as a qualifier, Leicester would automatically have been disqualified
Yep excellence should be placed over entertainment but the greatest ever have something in addition to excellence - nerve and grit. The greatest teams imo have to overcome the biggest odds and have the "clutch" mentality. Also Leicester should not even be considered for this discussion. Ian Wright summed it up perfectly - great achievement, not a great team (which was proven the next season).
Neil Malu And the way they won the champions league. It was harder to qualify for because there were 24 team's not 32... and it was harder to reach the knockouts because you had to win your group or be 1 of the 2 best runners up out of all the 6 group's. Nowadays if team's get both Bayern and Barca in their group people would say that's a tough group to try and finish 2nd in. But in 1997/98 & 1998/99 you couldn't even play for 2nd in a group like that because only 2 out of the 6 2nd place team's advanced.
@@up-qp7jb I would Understand Thierry Henry in that category :D BIt Robben? U crazy? He scored a maximum of what 7 goals a season for Chelsea? :D With C.Ronaldo Man United won 3 premier league titles in a row, and went to 2 ucl finals winning one, also going to an Fa Cup Final which they lost, and would have won another FA CUP if not for some Portsmouth black magic :D
Nerviniex fair but Robben was ridiculous for Chelsea. He changed them from being defensive and dour to being a great team to watch. For me he is symbolic.
As a United fan the Arsenal invisibles was a massive kick in the stones for us. That’s why the 50th was massive at old Trafford. They were a great side, had it all. Loved that rivalry
No. Chelsea 05 was the best and this is coming from a Liverpool fan. Conceded like 16 goals all season. Best defensive partnership in the premier league era
Invincibles is the best by so far, yes they drew twelve games but to not lose a game even when u are levels above the rest is so hard, we saw with Liverpool 19/20 they were miles ahead of everyone but lost to Watford, the mental and physical toughness it takes to not lose a game is incredible that’s why Invincibles are No. 1
@Madmanrollin He was referring to Arsenal's defence in the 90's. Not necessarily their 97/98 defensive record although they still had a fair amount of clean sheets but for example the following season they only conceded 17 in the PL. He played against that defence, he didn't play against Chelsea's defence.
The top 2 players i would pick over everyone would be Roy Keane as Captain and Dennis Bergkamp. Then you can pick the rest. They were instrumental in the two biggest sides.
@@mcfcok1683 Nah mate thats a bit much. we lost three games in the whole season. just because none of the 'big 6' did well, doesn't make it a bad season. it makes it one of the best of all time.81 points is a solid tally. sorry that, for once, city had to step back and admit they were worse than us that year. it will always be the greatest premier league season.
@@jaypatel4722 don’t get big thinking your club is massive, you won 1 league title in 130 years, while the rest of the league was shit, u also drew 12 games, that’s ridiculously high for a title winning team, City got 198 points in two seasons, that’s a far better achievement
@@Katrimanius pep is in agreement with me that's good enough for me . But for a bullshit decision against Portsmouth we'd be talking treble winners again .
Would be really interesting to see this discussion now that City and Liverpool now have teams that could arguably be seen as top three. City could win treble this season, and Liverpool with their 99 points season. Liverpool also got 97 points and got second which is insane considering their record was 30 W, 7 D, and 1 L, all the while they won the CL that season. Great discussion
It's so hard to choose between the 98/99 and 07/08 United team. My heart says 98/99 but my brain says 07/08. Tbh I don't think you can wrong with either one.
Both great team's but it's got to be the team who won more trophies which was 98/99. Because even if you say ManUtd battered Portsmouth in FAcup 08 and were unlucky, ManUtd dealt with a lot of bad luck and adversity during many games in 98/99 but found something from someone to get through it and still win all 3 trophies. Also it was harder to win the champions league in 1998/99 because there were only 24 team's in the group stages instead of 32 (and a lot more "champions" to compete against) and only the teams who topped their group or the best 2 runners up reached the knockouts. Most team's who finished 2nd in the group didn't advance so ManUtd did well to manage that alone considering they had both Bayern and Barca in their group when it wasn't just a case of trying to finish top2 but top or 1 of the 2 best runners up out of all the groups. I'm not saying ManUtd didn't top their group in 07/08, they did and very comfortably (although it was a lot weaker teams) I'm just saying the tasks for the 98/99 team I feel were harder from the start but they still won the perfect treble.
Na Liverpool r really deluded thinking they r gonna win the league But yea City r the best English team r now but I thought they was talking about the best English team with the best history but they r doing shit right now😂😂
I only started watching the Prem League in 2003. Imo it's ManUtd 07/08 when they won the UCL. Amazing GK+CB duo at the back, and that trident of CR7, Rooney, and Tevez was just unstoppable.
As a United fan, I was so impressed by City's team last season that I think should they have beaten Liverpool in the CL, they would've won the entire thing. So because they didn't I have to go United 07-08.
@@cddb5408 but tbf it was off the back of a 10th placed season. I wouldn't put it near 98/99 + 07/08 United, 03/04 Invincibles, 04/05 Chelsea or 17/18 Centurions. But since they discussed other teams in this list that don't deserve to be in discussion Chelsea 16/17 should've been given a mention in the video. But like I said those first 5 are the only real contenders.
Conte's Chelsea 16/17 should have gotten a shout. 10th to champions, and the way that team influenced all of English football. All of a sudden everyone was playing 3 at the back, including the national team. Chelsea's 2016/17 was a revolutionary season.
Why is the question the best Premier league team as if football didn’t exist before 1992. If you are talking truthfully it’s about how successful a team has been and the best ever teams are 1, United 2, Liverpool 3, Arsenal Arsenal fan.
I would agree 100 percent. Growing up as a united fan in the late 70' and 80' Liverpool were by far the greatest team on the planet. United took that mantel over and arsenal were great for a period of 5-6 consistent so for me I know Liverpool didn't win the PL but I'd agree with that top 3
Depends. On PL performance alone it must be the team who achieved the most points, Chelsea or City now. Over a season it has to be the treble winners, United. The invincibles were a great side but, evidently, not as good as City chelsea or United (you can go down without losing). Also, the United treble winners went on to win the PL at a canter for two more seasons so, overall, it's a no brainer. United 1999-2001.
Ian Wright: "Manchester City blew everyone away." "But nobody pushed back against them." Yeah they did. Liverpool beat Manchester City. Manchester United beat Baldy at the Etihad. A Guardiola team better than a Sir Alex Ferguson side? You've got to be joking.
llyas if son beat his father one time that doesn't mean son is better than father so just up I think you are city fan. I can understand your feelings but just talk sensible. Current man City players are no were near man utd players ok 99. I think man City got defeated by Norwich in 2019 I think you watched the game 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Yeah pep Guardiola is best manager in your dream 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Harry-yu4et because they used to be very good as sort of a foil to man utd they were a good rival hosting very good players and team spirit almost in some regards surpassing United so it feels like even though they were second fiddle they still were quite good at times creating good football
Arsenal fan here. Chelsea 05/06 were the best of the best. That team could have played in the 90s and could play now and still win things. They just seem not to have any weakness at all. Mentally they we're a rock , tactically they would adapt to almost all things
That Chelsea team in 04/05 is the best. Conceded only 15 goals and just 1 defeat. Even that 1 defeat was a penalty in a 1-0 loss against Man City. They were the hardest to beat and had an incredible attack with Drogba, Robben and Duff.
1. ManUtd 98/99 is the best team... they didn't score the most goals, they didn't win the most games... but they won the treble and were consistent for a few seasons after. 2. ManUtd 07/08 is the next beat team... that team could beat any team out there. Any team that wins premier league and champions league is impressive. 3. Man City 17/18 this team COULD BE the best team... they're the most impressive... the points, the record, the way they played, 1-2 more titles they would be the best. 4. Chelsea 04/05 they played great football and were super impressive. 5. Arsenal 03/04 "invincibles" close battle with chelsea for 4th... it's an amazing achievement not to lose a game but 12 draws just means they were hard to beat but didn't beat everyone.
den525 I agree with almost all of that. Although I'll say something that won't be agreed with by too many people. As well as Chelsea 04/05 like you've done I'd also put ManUtd 93/94 just above Arsenal 03/04. Arsenal 03/04 didn't win anything other than the PL and didn't even get to a cup final which they managed to do every other season from 1999/00 to 2006/07. ManUtd won a 42 game PL season with only 4 losses, won the shield, won the FAcup winning 4-0 in the final and got to the final of the LeagueCup and they had a dream team in my opinion. They also didn't resort to Arsenal's 03/04 thuggery and had a lot more honest players than the many cheats Arsenal had around the so called invincible era.
I would say Arsenal's invincibles, because nobody could achieve that in PL and that team was fantastic. United's treble winners comes close. City's last season team (Pep) & Mourinho's first Chelsea team worth a mention too.
You can hate it all you like but United 98/99 team was the greatest. Dominated the Prem, FA Cup and Champions league. That team went on to win 3 consecutive league titles too. You're taking the piss if you think otherwise. The only teams i feel could have really caused that team problems was Arsenals 99 squad, Chelseas 2005/6 squad and City's current squad. If you remove emotion and think logically its an easy pick. That team had Becks, Giggs, Scholes and Keane in midfield....FUCKING RIP LOL
Man United 99, Arsenal Invincibles are level with Chelsea 04/05 right behind them. These 3 sides defined an entire generation of premier league football.
@Anderton Chigoneka Only if it was instead of Arsenal 97/98 but really I think that 2001/02 team was too close to their other team on the shortlist (2003/04) with many of the same players and I personally wouldn't have put it on here not just because they didn't make the Champions league knockouts but also they couldn't retain the title 2002/03 and ManUtd won 4 out of 5 1998/99 to 2002/03 which is why Chelsea 2009/10 shouldn't be on here either again ManUtd won 4 out of 5 2006/07 to 2010/11 (also 4 out of 5 they won 1992/93 to 1996/97) so if you added all of Arsenal's team's there would be too many for the shortlist you'd have to increase the amount of ManUtd team's on here they've won 13 PL's but only have 3 teams on here just 1 more team than they've given to Arsenal in the shortlist when they've won 10 more than Arsenal.
@@cddb5408 I agree that Chelsea 2009-10 shouldn't be in and for me it's weakest of all their championship seasons. I think chelsea 2016-17 deserved to be in their or even 2014-15 Chelsea were better in terms of consistency in the league than 09-10 season
1. Man City- 2017-18, while the competing teams faltered a bit to allow them in, that doesn't take away from how consistently utterly dominant they were, not just the best points tally ever, but the best goal difference ever and by extension the most goals scored. too dominant to discount 2. Arsenal -2003-04, Invincibles, nothing can take away from this achievement, the consistency needed to maintain a feat like this is remarkable. 3. Chelsea 2004-05, up until recently, the record points total, and they remain the best defensive side in PL history by a country mile.
Have to agree with Miguel here Man Utd 07-08 for me. With all things put into perspective like stats, strength of the compitetion faced (Domestically & in Europe). They won 3 PL titles back to back, back to back CL finals (winning one). The league was also tough at the time cause some would argue that that was the beginning of the emergence of a top 6 rather than a top 4. In the end the 99 team's weaknesses were there greatest strength, they put themselves in those situations. However like he said though they weren't as polished and good overall as the 08 team. From best to worst for me it goes; 1) Man Utd 07-08 2) Man City 17-18 3) Man Utd 98-99 4) Chelsea 04-05 5) Arsenal 03-04 6) Arsenal 97-98 7) Man Utd 94-95 8) Chelsea 09-10
I disagree on the first 2 spots. I think that City 17/18 should be at the top, not just for having achieved 100 points, but for the flawless football they played. They made it look a bit too easy.
@@thuo1000 Their flawless football didn't win them CL tho. The untied team got to CL finals back to back and won PL 3 times back to back, look at the teams they played against in Europe those 2 years. Are you kidding me?!?

Like I said, I'm a man that appreciates good entertaining football and Guardiola's teams are just entertaining to watch.
@@kumarchandresh4044 lol you think it's a team who not only never won the champions league but had lost the PL the previous season (2002/03) then won it with 90points but then lost the title the next season again and in actual fact never won it since. Rather than a team who won the PL, FAcup & Champions league in 1999, then got 91 points the following season and RETAINED it in 2000 winning it by a record PL points margin which stood for 18 years and an amount Arsenal have never won by (18pts) then won a 3rd PL in a row in 2001, also at a canter. Not to mention most of those players had also won back to back PL's in 1995/96 & 1996/97 including the FAcup in 96...And some were also involved in the 1992/93 PL title win and 1993/94 PL & FAcup win.

@OnRockIT Yet couldn't beat a team who finished joint 5th with Bolton over 2 legs in the champions league lol Chelsea played Liverpool at home first leg, if that Chelsea team were so good the tie would've been won for Chelsea before the 2nd leg kicked off, or at least almost won. But instead they only drew 0-0 and also failed to score away....Chelsea fans go on about Liverpool's goal not being a goal (rich coming from Chelsea but anyway....) you can't expect to go through without scoring any goals over 2 legs. The LuisGarcia goal should've given Chelski extra incentive to get a goal they would've needed anyway to avoid unnecessary extra time and lottery shootout, they would've still progressed with a 1-1 but they failed and you say they could play any way?? The following season with almost the exact same squad but actually some improvement signings Chelsea also didn't impress in the champions league. I do think they were much better than for example the 09/10 team which shouldn't even be on here but let's be honest Chelsea 2004-2006 still weren't as amazing as you make out. They did enough to win the PL but failed in Europe. Their defensive record looks good on paper but they were very defence minded so it's not surprising and they didn't blow many teams away despite spending shit loads. So unless you are a very biased Chelsea fan it's strange to say Chelsea 04/05 and even add "no question"?? In reality they won the league & a mickey mouse cup. They have 1 record that still stands, 15 PL goals conceded but that's not enough to beat some of ManUtd's team's & ManCity 2018.

@@Noname-kq6jm To be honest you can't even give him the excuse of focussing more in other competitions for 2 main reasons (1) Wenger had such a poor Champions league record in general (Just 2 semi-finals he reached with Arsenal in 19 Champions league seasons, 2005/06 & 2008/09, the latter they clearly shouldn't have been there and were completely humiliated). (2) Arsenal didn't play weakened team's in those ChampionsLeague games they took the games seriously they just failed. Also they were lucky to even make it through the group stage in 2003/04. They were just 2 minutes away from being eliminated in group game 4 of 6. It's not like they lit the tournament up and were just extremely unlucky not to win it or they were eliminated controversially. The first ChampionsLeague game they played that season they got thrashed at home 0-3. Trust me ManUtd are the team who should be the most annoyed about not winning Champions league 2003/04, they were robbed vs the eventual winners and the route they would've had from QF to final was as winnable as you're likely to get in the competition. Hence why Porto went on to win it. If Arsenal were that great they would've at least played Porto in the final and Chelsea didn't even get to the final after eliminating Arsenal they lost to Monaco.
LFC fan here, but United cane everyone in just about all categories, bar the Invincibles. Moreover, they bought in a lot of British and Irish talent. Arsenal, used to be pretty good with locals, but they became shite later on. Chelski, and City, what a joke their player development is. Thus, I hate to say it, but United all the way.
How is no one talking about the Leicester team, we are talking about the greatest PL winning team has to be them. The Bond they had, the Vardy storey and having rejects in the squad, my god nothing will top that side.
Thomas Achiampong Yh greatest team to win the PL, ur telling me Leicester team 15/16 wasn’t the greatest team an old 4-4-2 formation wining 1-0 most games, all those other team had great superstars.
@@helpjdj I think you're confusing 'Greatest Ever Achievement' (which I wholeheartedly agree with Wright as Leicester 15/16) and 'Best Ever PL Team' which is what has been debated here. The notion that a 'Best Ever' should be considered remarkable over others because of the lack of superstars is illogical. For example: when asked about the Best Ever NBA championship winning team, the Bulls, Lakers, Heat's, Celtics of the modern era come to mind because of the superstars incorporated into those teams and how they came together to form an incredibly formidable group no other teams could match. People would be less likely to mention the one-off winners who achieved greatness over a season with fewer 'superstars' because they wouldn't be considered the Best. I hope you get my point..
Keep up with these sorts of videos BBC! Really enjoyed the one regarding 'The Best Premier League Team of all Time' and I've only already watched about 4 mins of this video and its fantastic! Keep it up team!
I kinda feel sorry for the United side of 1993/94 because we were restricted to only playing a maximum of 3 non English players in Europe due to a ban on English teams thanks to the Scousers actions in the 80’s. our starting eleven then: Schmeichel Parker Bruce Pallister Irwin Kanchelskis Keane Ince Giggs Cantona Hughes We could only play 3 foreign players in Europe out of: Schmeichel Irwin Kanchelskis Keane Giggs Cantona and Hughes. If we didn’t have that restriction I genuinely believe that side would’ve been the 1st treble winners.
Bernard Jay Yh tbh the Milan side from 87-95 are maybe the greatest club side ever but they were coming to an end around 92/93 so idk but just watching how beautiful we’d play in 1993/94. Wow
Man UTD 4Life What year did that law finish? Because ManUtd went out in the group stage in 1994/95 and their squad was very similar to the previous season.
@@bernardjay379 and if you got past AC Milan there was still Cruyff's dream team Barcelona to contend with - Romario, Stoitchkov, Laudrup, Hagi, Koeman, Guardiola, Bakero...
I think because when you won so many trophies,break the record,teams who have world class,talent players.Arsenal,Chelsea, Liverpool,Manchester clubs are up there,they’ve showed in the past to creat history,make this happen. I think everybody forgets how Blackburn Rovers,Leicester City who ever fantastic to achieve for something that wouldn’t be possible but they did it.I hope Tottenham,Everton and other teams can win in the premier league in the future which will be an another historic moment.
The '99 Manchester United side is my all-time favourite Premier League team but, let's be honest, the current Manchester City squad are on another plain. Of that, there is no doubt.
That 1997-98 Arsenal team was incredible to win the double at that time awesome Wright is spot on Anelka and Bergkamp just out of this world the French boy at 17 was quite simply the best with Vieria,Parlour,Petit and Platt and famous back 5
banares hussain And Anelka was 18/19 in the 1997/98 season not 17. I've heard many say that with Cristiano in his first season at ManUtd that he was 17 lol when again he was 18/19.
Sorry, but Chelsea was still overlooked far too much here, I think. You can’t miss a team that at one point had Terry, Lamps, Drogba, A.Cole, an inform Luiz, Eden hazard, Oscar, Cech and a handful of other world class players coming in and out of the club like Eto’o, And fillipe luiz and not be considered closer top the top. I’d say Man City right now.. the the only better squad.
Jesse Hitchcock You've just listed players mostly played in different team's and the only time they a brief period of domination was 2004/05&2005/06 and most of those players you named were not in that team apart from Terry, Lampard & Drogba.
CD DB the only period of domination?? Are you blind. Look at the last 10 years alone. Admittedly. Not all played together in a single team. But the spine won us the champions league. I don’t see any of you guys getting anywhere close in many many years,, beside Liverpool, with the 1 hit wonder salah, came close.
@@shadeofquran lol probably because both seasons they followed them up with poor seasons failing to even qualify for the champions league (including 10th place in 15/16 and winning nothing). When you look at how many other team's on this list won back-to-back PL title's and in ManUtd's case 3 in a row twice and 4 out of 5 on 3 separate occasions (93,94,96&97...99,00,01&03...07,08,09&2011)....and Chelsea couldn't even come close to retaining it those seasons (05/06 The only time they have retained a PL was actually the only time they ever looked like doing so) so they were weren't that great and I actually thought Spurs were the best team in 2016/17, scored more, conceded less, there were just a couple of turnarounds in games that swung points in Chelsea's favour, the 1-3 Chelsea win at the Etihad was a freak turnaround after DeBruyne missed from 3yards would've been 2-0. A head-to-head match with Spurs where Spurs were winning etc...Spurs won more games more comfortably than Chelsea but what it came down to was Chelsea had many more lucky results. Also 14/15 was only Chelsea's 2nd PL title in 9 seasons and the only reason it wasn't their only 1 since 2005/06 was because they cheated to nick 2009/10. But they hadn't won many so you can't put them on there just because they concentrated on that competition more in 14/15 because it had been so long for a big spending team like Chelsea to not win the PL....but in 14/15 they were eliminated at home in the champions league to a team with a numerical disadvantage which is pretty poor in all honesty and its not the first time that's happened in the Chelski era....Many of ManUtd's champions league exits were unlucky and included them getting the red card and some harsh ones but not the other way round and still losing....at home.
If City wins UCL this season and retains the Premier League, then there's no doubt about it I think City can do it and will do it So after the 19/20 season , i think City will be the best team England has ever had
I feel like its best to look at a few year time spans, however you could break it down into best single domestic season, best season overall, and best three year span. I will try to come at this unbiasedly as a RM fan. Important metrics for multiyear: More PL titles the better. Ideally at least 1 UCL. Dominant style (perhaps backed up with records). Toughness of competition domestically and in europe. Performance against rivals (doesn't look great to lose in Europe to domestic rival). Ranking based on different metrics: Best domestic performance 1 year: 1. Man City: ridiculous records broken, during highest level of competition without a truly great rival 2. Chelsea: record breaking with tough opposition, unfortunately records have since been broken 3. Arsenal: invincibles, perhaps in a time of transition for rivals 4. Man United 07/08: Great domestic campaign if a bit short of truly legendary 5. Man United 98/99: Lots of draws and losses domestically, but showed great resolve and character Best 1 year performance: 1A. Man United 1998/1999: treble and really tough european opposition. Not great domestically and not great competition 1B. Man United 2007/2008: double over tough domestic competition, fairly easy UCL draw and beat a domestic rival in final 3. Man City 2017/2018: Two trophies, tons of records, 100 points, but went out in QF to a domestic rival, records may have been broken even with continued presence in UCL but it certainly helped them reach loftier totals 4. Chelsea: Two trophies, tons of record, went out in SF to a domestic rival 5. Arsenal: Undefeated, but lost to to domestic rival in QF and lost in other cups so the undefeated feels like yeah but... Best multiyear: 1A. United 98-01: Treble, three premier leagues, 1 UCL, one record setting domestic season, not too much domestic competition outside of Arsenal 1B. United 06-09: UCL, three premier leagues with great but not legendary seasons, no records, two UCL finals, lots of domestic competion (official era of top 4), Chelsea 04-07: Two premier leagues, one record setting season followed by another truly great domestic season, no european wins Arsenal: Two premier leagues, one truly legendary season undefeated (49 total games), however never quite did it in Europe and didn't have the toughest domestic competion. Man City: truly legendary single season domestic campaign, but we will have to wait and see if they go on to win more PL's and perhaps a UCL.
@An What when they came 10th inbetween those seasons? Also although either of those teams are more worthy to be on the shortlist than 2009/10 which shouldn't be on here, the 2014/15 team had a numerical advantage for NINETY minutes AT HOME vs Psg in the champions league last 16 and still failed to progress! AND they lost 2-4 in the FAcup AT HOME to 3rd tier Bradford!
@@cddb5408 you do realise you’ve mentioned FA Cup and CL, this team is premier league based only, we shouldn’t factor in outside competition. But I do hear you.
@Will Evans Yeah well West Ham fans I know don't seem to have good football knowledge so you're probably another. Picking a team who won 1 trophy and didn't even break a points record (even temporarily) over Champions league winners, treble winners etc...lol
Joshia Johns Why? Arsenal played 38 and drew 12. We had only lost 1 and broke all kind of records. We had the most points achieved and our home record was invincible like arsenal. We had an incredibly defensive record, only conceding 15 and look at the competition we had to face. Arsenal invincibles, Sir Alex Utd, Liverpool who ended up being European champions.
+Jamie Dunne it's good but the whole point of not loosing is to gain more points but thy havnt gained the most points so the whole fact they didn't loose is irrelevant
It was 95 pts but ManUtd were going through transition around that time and Chelsea were the first $ team the amount they had spent from summer 2003 to summer 2004 the amount of new and expensive players they didn't earn to allow them to win 2004/05 in still a very non impressive way goals wise and entertainment wise but quite impressive points wise although even that's been beaten since a few times to date. There's been about 4 better teams obviously ManUtd 1999, ManUtd 2008 and also ManCity 2018-2019 and Liverpool 2019-2020.

Truly we were lucky to see them play
kieran mccabe they had Robbie Savage in that squad. They had to go down in style of course. What did you expect? 😂😂😂😂
Why
As fan of Arsenal, I would love to say that invicibles were the best. But above all by far is still ManUTD team from 98/99 for me. Premier League title, FA Cup winners, Champions League winners, Intercontinental Cup winners and 3 PL title in a row (99;00;01). That 99's CL final is just classic and one of the most inspiring games ever in history of sports.
respect for the honest opinion
99 was just luck and 08 was luck too. I think man united were at their peak during the 2006-07 and 2008-09 season
Sbm... Even by what you say then united are the only team to win it 3 times in a row and the done that twice so the best team has to united from 98-01 or united 06-09.
Saying that if this city side can surpass them but as of right now they haven't so it has to be one of those united teams.
@SBM Yeah and ManUtd were still obviously better because that 99 team still retained their PL title...and again the following year... and that's not even including most players were also involved in the 96 PL & FAcup double and 97 PL win so they won 5 PL's in 6 seasons from 96 to 01 when Arsenal can't ever even get 2 in a row (the 1 ManUtd didn't win RoyKeane was injured all season 97/98 and ManUtd still only lost by 1 point because Arsenal took maximum points off ManUtd with 1 game being controversial the 3-2 Arsenal win at Highbury ManUtd had at least 1 stone wall pen turned down at 2-2 in a must win game for Arsenal), ManUtd won 8 PL's in 11 seasons from 93 to 03. It's obviously ManUtd. If it was just judged only on number of PL losses in a season it would be 03/04 Arsenal but that would be a fucking stupid waste of time having a discussion because you just look at the losses amount and no point in having the programme but it shouldn't be judged like that anyway, there's more luck involved in winning the odd title here and there with 1 being like that, how many you win says a lot more...and let's be honest Arsenal were lucky to go unbeaten that PL season and they weren't as free flowing as people say they were, how many team's have won the PL with more than 73 goals, quite a few, quite a few have lost the title with way more than 73 PL goals and they never retained a PL title and didn't even come close to winning the champions league that season and still haven't won the competition fullstop, only once a finalist they've been shite in the competition to be fair and even forgetting ManUtd's high standards, Arsenal themselves managed to get to a cup final every season from 1999/00 to 2006/07....apart from 03/04 funnily enough.
07/08 was better than the treble united team, yes the treble was something that'll always be there but the fact 07/08 won 3 leagues in a row and got to back to back champions league finals takes it for me.
GameBros :- You are right, but why the need to be abusive? It's a tough call between many of these teams especially United.

To me Chelsea's 2004/05 team was one of the best teams ever from a defensive standpoint, only 15 goals conceded in 38 games and just one defeat is just staggering
Reality: Man Utd 99 & 08 teams won multiple trophies in one year including European cup and the EPL & they also won the EPL three years on the trot. We've witnessed in the past few years how difficult that is to do.
No team has EVER done it and it’s the hardest thing to do especially w such a young side
As good as Man City were last season, the lack of competition they had from the top 6 needs to come into question. Arsenal were awful, Chelsea weren't much better, Liverpool were only good in Europe, Spurs were lackluster and Man Utd, despite coming second, were still really poor. Man City had no competition. If that Man City team had played 10-15 years ago, would they have accumulated 100 points? I highly doubt it.
These ifs and buts don't make your case .But for your sake footballers are better physically and technically due to advances in technology and training methodologies ...so we can't compare different eras teams with hypothetical matches rather we should gauge them using the points they got playing the teams of the same era.
It's not that Mancity had no competition..Man City destroyed all competition. City were miles ahead of the rest and there wasn't a lot of points between the rest..
Alex George , you’re a big fool for saying this
Exactly, the City team destroyed everyone else, when the league has teams all earning £100m+ a year.
The top 6 clubs last season were pathetic. Yes City were amazing, but their competition were useless. They finished 19 points above United. The title was pretty much won by December. Man Utd were terrible last season too. Look at the runners up of all the great teams to win the premier league, they were far better.
United 99
United 08
Chelsea 05
City 18

United 94
Chelsea 10

(If you win a champions league, you are the best team in Europe that season which is more impressive than just being the best in England. None of these other teams were ever the best in the world. The two United teams were.
The Mourinho Chelsea team were very, very impressive and could easily have been in Istanbul that season if it wasn't for terrible refereeing officials against Liverpool. They talk about the points record on this programme, but I still think Chelsea's 95 is more impressive than City's 100. The teams Chelsea had to face to win the league (Arsenal invincibles, Ferguson United, Liverpool-the european Champions) were all much better than the teams City had to face last season. Also the defensive record of only conceding 15 is almost inconceivable looking back. They're ahead of the invincibles for me because they literally bested them the next season-the exact team, they proved they were better. Also they won another trophy too and went on to retain the title the following season.
City's team last season were exceptional at times. How De Bruyne didn't win POTY I'll never know. 100 points its an amazing achievement and will only be achieved again the next time somebody comes into the premier league and revolutionises English football again. The fact that they're goalkeeper was better with his feet than a massive percentage of outfield players really says it all. Additionally they won another competition and broke the record for the most goals showing how entertaining and dominant they were. The reason they are only fourth in my list is because they had no competition. They're closest challengers were a terrible United team and the fact that they managed to get over 80 points kind of shows that the league was actually very poor last season. Still though, I reckon they'd give the other teams in this list a run for their money.
The invincibles were obviously an outstanding team, but I do agree the fact that they seemingly sacrificed the champions league all in search of the record was a bit of an oversight. Henry once again proved himself to be the best striker in the leagues history and absolutely terrorised defences. They played good football as well. They were also a very intimidating side with lots of big players and would best anyone if they wanted to have a physical battle. Despite this they didn't do well in other competitions and couldn't retain the league the following season as soon as a worthy challenger emerged.
You really worked hard for that comment.
the title of the video is PREMIER LEAGUE best team not European best team so CL cant really be taken to account now
100% agree
Alvin Lam, I think it is relevant because regardless of what competition they are in it is the same premier league side. It also shows how good they were that they were the best in Europe. It also takes a great team compete on so many levels and play such high importance games every three days in the latter part of the season.
Joesph Cole, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying this is a video about premier league success, not European success. It's not about being the best in Europe, this video is about the best of the Premier League. Best of Europe is for another video. For the sake of this video, the CL isn't relevant so you can't really count it as an achievement (even though of course it is outside the PL). You can't let winning the CL distract you from Premier League success. And what AFC did in the Premier league is worthy of at least being top 3 in the list.
Chelsea 04/05 One of the best Prem teams ever, easy top 3, best defence in Prem ever, Conceded only 15 goals and almost went unbeaten, only losing 1 game and had the highest points total for winning the title until City beat it.
They technically didn't almost go unbeaten. Barca almost went unbeaten in 2017/18.
Chelsea had already lost a game with 3 quarters of the season to play. In fact the timing of their loss was when they were quite concerned with their season so far, because they'd dropped 7 points and weren't top and had only scored 8 goals in 9 games which included own goals/penalties/goals from corners etc...They had many narrow wins so the fact they lost 1 game narrowly isn't unlucky either.

@@hamz6197 No, as I said their loss was very early in the season.

Was it the 36th game they lost? 37th? 38th? No, nowhere near so you can't say they were nearly unbeaten.
If you lose a game 2-1 when you were 2-0 down & getting battered for most of it but score a consolation goal last kick of the game 96th minute to lose 2-1 it's not a close game but judging by how you think you'd say that was a close game.
Honest think that Chelsea 04/05 team should have just been talked about more? And just scrap the 09/10, I mean they didn’t even mention the 15 goals conceded in a whole season?

@@SirLynxz. Lost 1 game?
As a united fan, that chelsea team was probably the only one which had a hex over us. Not sure where it went wrong but I do think Roman trying to influence transfers too much disrupted Mourinho's flow....I mean that chelsea literally had everything. The Shevchenko signing was probably one too much (also shouldn't have let tiago go)
Big reasons why 98/99 is still considered the best ever team in the league:
1) Context, competition and thrill
2) They had a great squad outside their starting XI that no other team did. They won the UCL without Scholes and Keane in midfield because they had Butt and Blomqvist. They had 2 of the best back up strikers in the league in Sheringham and Ole who would get into any top 6 side today (little context for why Man City is not considered as much tho they're def top 3)
3) The best ever team in the EPL should be a team that has represented the league in Europe and been successful doing so. For English football, nothing will come close to it except another treble. Maybe if this Man City team wins the treble they would get the edge because of their sophisticated and eye-catching style.
I get all those points, but surely for this argument excellence should be placed over entertainment so its 07/08 for just pure consistency. And if a team HAD to represent in europe as a qualifier, Leicester would automatically have been disqualified
Yep excellence should be placed over entertainment but the greatest ever have something in addition to excellence - nerve and grit. The greatest teams imo have to overcome the biggest odds and have the "clutch" mentality. Also Leicester should not even be considered for this discussion. Ian Wright summed it up perfectly - great achievement, not a great team (which was proven the next season).
Neil Malu
And the way they won the champions league. It was harder to qualify for because there were 24 team's not 32... and it was harder to reach the knockouts because you had to win your group or be 1 of the 2 best runners up out of all the 6 group's. Nowadays if team's get both Bayern and Barca in their group people would say that's a tough group to try and finish 2nd in. But in 1997/98 & 1998/99 you couldn't even play for 2nd in a group like that because only 2 out of the 6 2nd place team's advanced.
If we're talking just the premier league, the treble winning United team is not the best.

Because even if you say ManUtd battered Portsmouth in FAcup 08 and were unlucky, ManUtd dealt with a lot of bad luck and adversity during many games in 98/99 but found something from someone to get through it and still win all 3 trophies.
Also it was harder to win the champions league in 1998/99 because there were only 24 team's in the group stages instead of 32 (and a lot more "champions" to compete against) and only the teams who topped their group or the best 2 runners up reached the knockouts. Most team's who finished 2nd in the group didn't advance so ManUtd did well to manage that alone considering they had both Bayern and Barca in their group when it wasn't just a case of trying to finish top2 but top or 1 of the 2 best runners up out of all the groups.
I'm not saying ManUtd didn't top their group in 07/08, they did and very comfortably (although it was a lot weaker teams) I'm just saying the tasks for the 98/99 team I feel were harder from the start but they still won the perfect treble.
In terms of a Premier League level, easily United 07/08. In terms of on a bigger stage, United 98/99.

I don't know how you can't mention Conte's first season at Chelsea...
Didn't play in Europe when their title rivals did which benefited them.
@@cddb5408 but tbf it was off the back of a 10th placed season. I wouldn't put it near 98/99 + 07/08 United, 03/04 Invincibles, 04/05 Chelsea or 17/18 Centurions. But since they discussed other teams in this list that don't deserve to be in discussion Chelsea 16/17 should've been given a mention in the video. But like I said those first 5 are the only real contenders.
How can you not love Ian Wright?
Conte's Chelsea 16/17 should have gotten a shout. 10th to champions, and the way that team influenced all of English football. All of a sudden everyone was playing 3 at the back, including the national team. Chelsea's 2016/17 was a revolutionary season.

Why is the question the best Premier league team as if football didn’t exist before 1992. If you are talking truthfully it’s about how successful a team has been and the best ever teams are
1, United
2, Liverpool
3, Arsenal
Arsenal fan.
Shane McDonald they specifically called it the pl and the pl started in 1992
What a dumb fuck
I would agree 100 percent. Growing up as a united fan in the late 70' and 80' Liverpool were by far the greatest team on the planet. United took that mantel over and arsenal were great for a period of 5-6 consistent so for me I know Liverpool didn't win the PL but I'd agree with that top 3
Depends. On PL performance alone it must be the team who achieved the most points, Chelsea or City now. Over a season it has to be the treble winners, United. The invincibles were a great side but, evidently, not as good as City chelsea or United (you can go down without losing). Also, the United treble winners went on to win the PL at a canter for two more seasons so, overall, it's a no brainer. United 1999-2001.
Ian Wright: "Manchester City blew everyone away."
"But nobody pushed back against them."
Yeah they did. Liverpool beat Manchester City. Manchester United beat Baldy at the Etihad. A Guardiola team better than a Sir Alex Ferguson side? You've got to be joking.

1). Man Utd Treble. 2). Arsenal Invincibles. 3). Man City 100 points
You should include poll for viewers so instead of commenting we can see result what majority thinks.
That Chelsea team in 04/05 is the best. Conceded only 15 goals and just 1 defeat. Even that 1 defeat was a penalty in a 1-0 loss against Man City. They were the hardest to beat and had an incredible attack with Drogba, Robben and Duff.

As an Arsenal fan i will always love 97-98 and the invincibles but Leicester is the epitomy of the greatest premier league achievement
1. ManUtd 98/99 is the best team... they didn't score the most goals, they didn't win the most games... but they won the treble and were consistent for a few seasons after.
2. ManUtd 07/08 is the next beat team... that team could beat any team out there. Any team that wins premier league and champions league is impressive.
3. Man City 17/18 this team COULD BE the best team... they're the most impressive... the points, the record, the way they played, 1-2 more titles they would be the best.
4. Chelsea 04/05 they played great football and were super impressive.
5. Arsenal 03/04 "invincibles" close battle with chelsea for 4th... it's an amazing achievement not to lose a game but 12 draws just means they were hard to beat but didn't beat everyone.
den525
I agree with almost all of that. Although I'll say something that won't be agreed with by too many people. As well as Chelsea 04/05 like you've done I'd also put ManUtd 93/94 just above Arsenal 03/04. Arsenal 03/04 didn't win anything other than the PL and didn't even get to a cup final which they managed to do every other season from 1999/00 to 2006/07. ManUtd won a 42 game PL season with only 4 losses, won the shield, won the FAcup winning 4-0 in the final and got to the final of the LeagueCup and they had a dream team in my opinion. They also didn't resort to Arsenal's 03/04 thuggery and had a lot more honest players than the many cheats Arsenal had around the so called invincible era.
invincibles
Lol no
Helll no, majority were draws
but we did not lose that entire season we went 42 matches unbeaten
Should've seen the delusion coming...
Invincibles easily the best,Chelsea were negative,United played fergy long ball and city just closed down.
ARSENAL
I would say Arsenal's invincibles, because nobody could achieve that in PL and that team was fantastic. United's treble winners comes close. City's last season team (Pep) & Mourinho's first Chelsea team worth a mention too.
It’s definitely either between 98/99 United, Invincibles Arsenal, 04/05 Chelsea or 07/08 United.
Jesus you just know Miguel sat in his bed memorising facts and practicing what to say
You can hate it all you like but United 98/99 team was the greatest. Dominated the Prem, FA Cup and Champions league. That team went on to win 3 consecutive league titles too. You're taking the piss if you think otherwise. The only teams i feel could have really caused that team problems was Arsenals 99 squad, Chelseas 2005/6 squad and City's current squad. If you remove emotion and think logically its an easy pick. That team had Becks, Giggs, Scholes and Keane in midfield....FUCKING RIP LOL
Man United 99, Arsenal Invincibles are level with Chelsea 04/05 right behind them. These 3 sides defined an entire generation of premier league football.

@Anderton Chigoneka
Only if it was instead of Arsenal 97/98 but really I think that 2001/02 team was too close to their other team on the shortlist (2003/04) with many of the same players and I personally wouldn't have put it on here not just because they didn't make the Champions league knockouts but also they couldn't retain the title 2002/03 and ManUtd won 4 out of 5 1998/99 to 2002/03 which is why Chelsea 2009/10 shouldn't be on here either again ManUtd won 4 out of 5 2006/07 to 2010/11 (also 4 out of 5 they won 1992/93 to 1996/97) so if you added all of Arsenal's team's there would be too many for the shortlist you'd have to increase the amount of ManUtd team's on here they've won 13 PL's but only have 3 teams on here just 1 more team than they've given to Arsenal in the shortlist when they've won 10 more than Arsenal.

1. Man City- 2017-18, while the competing teams faltered a bit to allow them in, that doesn't take away from how consistently utterly dominant they were, not just the best points tally ever, but the best goal difference ever and by extension the most goals scored. too dominant to discount
2. Arsenal -2003-04, Invincibles, nothing can take away from this achievement, the consistency needed to maintain a feat like this is remarkable.
3. Chelsea 2004-05, up until recently, the record points total, and they remain the best defensive side in PL history by a country mile.
deluded
Nice details 'mega' Daryl care to tell me why i'm wrong? or is that level of intelligence above your paygrade?
Have to agree with Miguel here Man Utd 07-08 for me. With all things put into perspective like stats, strength of the compitetion faced (Domestically & in Europe). They won 3 PL titles back to back, back to back CL finals (winning one). The league was also tough at the time cause some would argue that that was the beginning of the emergence of a top 6 rather than a top 4. In the end the 99 team's weaknesses were there greatest strength, they put themselves in those situations. However like he said though they weren't as polished and good overall as the 08 team. From best to worst for me it goes;
1) Man Utd 07-08
2) Man City 17-18
3) Man Utd 98-99
4) Chelsea 04-05
5) Arsenal 03-04
6) Arsenal 97-98
7) Man Utd 94-95
8) Chelsea 09-10
I disagree on the first 2 spots. I think that City 17/18 should be at the top, not just for having achieved 100 points, but for the flawless football they played. They made it look a bit too easy.
@@thuo1000 Their flawless football didn't win them CL tho. The untied team got to CL finals back to back and won PL 3 times back to back, look at the teams they played against in Europe those 2 years. Are you kidding me?!?

Rather than a team who won the PL, FAcup & Champions league in 1999, then got 91 points the following season and RETAINED it in 2000 winning it by a record PL points margin which stood for 18 years and an amount Arsenal have never won by (18pts) then won a 3rd PL in a row in 2001, also at a canter. Not to mention most of those players had also won back to back PL's in 1995/96 & 1996/97 including the FAcup in 96...And some were also involved in the 1992/93 PL title win and 1993/94 PL & FAcup win.

Yet couldn't beat a team who finished joint 5th with Bolton over 2 legs in the champions league lol
Chelsea played Liverpool at home first leg, if that Chelsea team were so good the tie would've been won for Chelsea before the 2nd leg kicked off, or at least almost won. But instead they only drew 0-0 and also failed to score away....Chelsea fans go on about Liverpool's goal not being a goal (rich coming from Chelsea but anyway....) you can't expect to go through without scoring any goals over 2 legs. The LuisGarcia goal should've given Chelski extra incentive to get a goal they would've needed anyway to avoid unnecessary extra time and lottery shootout, they would've still progressed with a 1-1 but they failed and you say they could play any way??
The following season with almost the exact same squad but actually some improvement signings Chelsea also didn't impress in the champions league.
I do think they were much better than for example the 09/10 team which shouldn't even be on here but let's be honest Chelsea 2004-2006 still weren't as amazing as you make out. They did enough to win the PL but failed in Europe. Their defensive record looks good on paper but they were very defence minded so it's not surprising and they didn't blow many teams away despite spending shit loads.
So unless you are a very biased Chelsea fan it's strange to say Chelsea 04/05 and even add "no question"??
In reality they won the league & a mickey mouse cup. They have 1 record that still stands, 15 PL goals conceded but that's not enough to beat some of ManUtd's team's & ManCity 2018.

To be honest you can't even give him the excuse of focussing more in other competitions for 2 main reasons
(1) Wenger had such a poor Champions league record in general (Just 2 semi-finals he reached with Arsenal in 19 Champions league seasons, 2005/06 & 2008/09, the latter they clearly shouldn't have been there and were completely humiliated).
(2) Arsenal didn't play weakened team's in those ChampionsLeague games they took the games seriously they just failed.
Also they were lucky to even make it through the group stage in 2003/04. They were just 2 minutes away from being eliminated in group game 4 of 6. It's not like they lit the tournament up and were just extremely unlucky not to win it or they were eliminated controversially. The first ChampionsLeague game they played that season they got thrashed at home 0-3.
Trust me ManUtd are the team who should be the most annoyed about not winning Champions league 2003/04, they were robbed vs the eventual winners and the route they would've had from QF to final was as winnable as you're likely to get in the competition. Hence why Porto went on to win it. If Arsenal were that great they would've at least played Porto in the final and Chelsea didn't even get to the final after eliminating Arsenal they lost to Monaco.

@@helpjdj I think you're confusing 'Greatest Ever Achievement' (which I wholeheartedly agree with Wright as Leicester 15/16) and 'Best Ever PL Team' which is what has been debated here. The notion that a 'Best Ever' should be considered remarkable over others because of the lack of superstars is illogical.
For example: when asked about the Best Ever NBA championship winning team, the Bulls, Lakers, Heat's, Celtics of the modern era come to mind because of the superstars incorporated into those teams and how they came together to form an incredibly formidable group no other teams could match. People would be less likely to mention the one-off winners who achieved greatness over a season with fewer 'superstars' because they wouldn't be considered the Best.

I kinda feel sorry for the United side of 1993/94 because we were restricted to only playing a maximum of 3 non English players in Europe due to a ban on English teams thanks to the Scousers actions in the 80’s. our starting eleven then:
Schmeichel
Parker Bruce Pallister Irwin
Kanchelskis Keane Ince Giggs
Cantona Hughes
We could only play 3 foreign players in Europe out of: Schmeichel Irwin Kanchelskis Keane Giggs Cantona and Hughes. If we didn’t have that restriction I genuinely believe that side would’ve been the 1st treble winners.

I don’t see any of you guys getting anywhere close in many many years,, beside Liverpool, with the 1 hit wonder salah, came close.
People still forget that brilliant 16/17 season or even 14/15
@@shadeofquran lol probably because both seasons they followed them up with poor seasons failing to even qualify for the champions league (including 10th place in 15/16 and winning nothing).
When you look at how many other team's on this list won back-to-back PL title's and in ManUtd's case 3 in a row twice and 4 out of 5 on 3 separate occasions (93,94,96&97...99,00,01&03...07,08,09&2011)....and Chelsea couldn't even come close to retaining it those seasons (05/06 The only time they have retained a PL was actually the only time they ever looked like doing so) so they were weren't that great and I actually thought Spurs were the best team in 2016/17, scored more, conceded less, there were just a couple of turnarounds in games that swung points in Chelsea's favour, the 1-3 Chelsea win at the Etihad was a freak turnaround after DeBruyne missed from 3yards would've been 2-0. A head-to-head match with Spurs where Spurs were winning etc...Spurs won more games more comfortably than Chelsea but what it came down to was Chelsea had many more lucky results.
Also 14/15 was only Chelsea's 2nd PL title in 9 seasons and the only reason it wasn't their only 1 since 2005/06 was because they cheated to nick 2009/10. But they hadn't won many so you can't put them on there just because they concentrated on that competition more in 14/15 because it had been so long for a big spending team like Chelsea to not win the PL....but in 14/15 they were eliminated at home in the champions league to a team with a numerical disadvantage which is pretty poor in all honesty and its not the first time that's happened in the Chelski era....Many of ManUtd's champions league exits were unlucky and included them getting the red card and some harsh ones but not the other way round and still losing....at home.

If City wins UCL this season and retains the Premier League, then there's no doubt about it
I think City can do it and will do it
So after the 19/20 season , i think City will be the best team England has ever had
hahahaha
I feel like its best to look at a few year time spans, however you could break it down into best single domestic season, best season overall, and best three year span. I will try to come at this unbiasedly as a RM fan.
Important metrics for multiyear: More PL titles the better. Ideally at least 1 UCL. Dominant style (perhaps backed up with records). Toughness of competition domestically and in europe. Performance against rivals (doesn't look great to lose in Europe to domestic rival).
Ranking based on different metrics:
Best domestic performance 1 year:
1. Man City: ridiculous records broken, during highest level of competition without a truly great rival
2. Chelsea: record breaking with tough opposition, unfortunately records have since been broken
3. Arsenal: invincibles, perhaps in a time of transition for rivals
4. Man United 07/08: Great domestic campaign if a bit short of truly legendary
5. Man United 98/99: Lots of draws and losses domestically, but showed great resolve and character
Best 1 year performance:
1A. Man United 1998/1999: treble and really tough european opposition. Not great domestically and not great competition
1B. Man United 2007/2008: double over tough domestic competition, fairly easy UCL draw and beat a domestic rival in final
3. Man City 2017/2018: Two trophies, tons of records, 100 points, but went out in QF to a domestic rival, records may have been broken even with continued presence in UCL but it certainly helped them reach loftier totals
4. Chelsea: Two trophies, tons of record, went out in SF to a domestic rival
5. Arsenal: Undefeated, but lost to to domestic rival in QF and lost in other cups so the undefeated feels like yeah but...
Best multiyear:
1A. United 98-01: Treble, three premier leagues, 1 UCL, one record setting domestic season, not too much domestic competition outside of Arsenal
1B. United 06-09: UCL, three premier leagues with great but not legendary seasons, no records, two UCL finals, lots of domestic competion (official era of top 4),
Chelsea 04-07: Two premier leagues, one record setting season followed by another truly great domestic season, no european wins
Arsenal: Two premier leagues, one truly legendary season undefeated (49 total games), however never quite did it in Europe and didn't have the toughest domestic competion.
Man City: truly legendary single season domestic campaign, but we will have to wait and see if they go on to win more PL's and perhaps a UCL.
Invincible were terrifying for defenders I bet they had nightmares
Bro man city should not even be discussed about. Are they a team don't compare dem wid man u ND arsenal as well as Liverpool nd Chelsea.
Wanker
JABRA SAID dumbest comment
As if Liverpool won the league😂😂😂😂😂
Yes , 100 pts..end of debate
Liverpool haha they are shit it the prem City are miles and miles ahead of them
Chelsea 14/15, 16/17 team was just dominant
Chelshit?
goku go to school kid
@@hermonhazard5851 where's your best player? lmao, obviously gone.
@An
What when they came 10th inbetween those seasons?
Also although either of those teams are more worthy to be on the shortlist than 2009/10 which shouldn't be on here, the 2014/15 team had a numerical advantage for NINETY minutes AT HOME vs Psg in the champions league last 16 and still failed to progress!
AND they lost 2-4 in the FAcup AT HOME to 3rd tier Bradford!
@@cddb5408 you do realise you’ve mentioned FA Cup and CL, this team is premier league based only, we shouldn’t factor in outside competition. But I do hear you.
As a Utd fan ....I gotta say I've always loved WRIGHTY ...he is just MR TRUTH....A MAN of straight forward words ...love him
I’m a West Ham fan and surely it’s the Invincibles , truly incredible
@Will Evans
Yeah well West Ham fans I know don't seem to have good football knowledge so you're probably another.
Picking a team who won 1 trophy and didn't even break a points record (even temporarily) over Champions league winners, treble winners etc...lol
Chelsea obviously
Lol
😂
Joshia Johns Why? Arsenal played 38 and drew 12. We had only lost 1 and broke all kind of records. We had the most points achieved and our home record was invincible like arsenal. We had an incredibly defensive record, only conceding 15 and look at the competition we had to face. Arsenal invincibles, Sir Alex Utd, Liverpool who ended up being European champions.
Saying it in a softer tone ..
@@chelseaking1735 but could have beat man utd teams
Only one of these teams received and deserved a unique trophy, The Arsenal's Invincibles. No other team is better.
what's the point of not loosing if u still don't finnish with more points 😂😂 bunch of jokers
what's the point of not loosing if u still don't have recored points tally😂😂 bunch of jokers
+Graziano Etiene what is the point in not losing ??😶 in 38 games not 1 lose not 1 game that was a disaster
+Jamie Dunne it's good but the whole point of not loosing is to gain more points but thy havnt gained the most points so the whole fact they didn't loose is irrelevant
+Graziano Etiene that fact they didn't lose isn't irrelevant I'd prefer 80 points undefeated than 100 points with 3 losses
To get 92 points, and have the most clean sheets in a season, Chelsea 04/05 were really a complete team.
It was 95 pts but ManUtd were going through transition around that time and Chelsea were the first $ team the amount they had spent from summer 2003 to summer 2004 the amount of new and expensive players they didn't earn to allow them to win 2004/05 in still a very non impressive way goals wise and entertainment wise but quite impressive points wise although even that's been beaten since a few times to date.
There's been about 4 better teams obviously ManUtd 1999, ManUtd 2008 and also ManCity 2018-2019 and Liverpool 2019-2020.
