First a message from our editor, James Andrew:

Occasionally in football, and in life, it takes time to pass for something to be
appreciated and acknowledged. The Arsenal team of 2003/04 instantly won plenty
of plaudits for clinching the Premier League title without losing a game, but
two decades on we’re able to reflect on that achievement and really celebrate
it.

In the 20 years since then, both Manchester clubs have won three Premier League
crowns in a row – not only have Manchester City topped the table by the smallest
margin (eight goals in 2012), but also by the biggest (19 points in 2018, when
they amassed 100 points in total). Not one single team, though, has matched
Arsenal’s accomplishment of going undefeated in a whole season.

Regardless of who you support, fans will all have their own memories of that
campaign. Personally, mine was being in the away end at Highbury as Arsenal
piled on the pressure with attack after attack – they had 27 shots, but
goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and Fulham kept them at bay and earned an unlikely
0-0 draw.

In this issue, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Ray Parlour and more tell the story
of their stunning run, plus we discuss some of Jurgen Klopp’s greatest Liverpool
games with Ian Rush and Jamie Carragher, unveil the latest Football League Top
50 and put your questions to German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Enjoy.

James
