Arsenal currently hold the record for the longest winning streak in Premier League history.
Arsenal's record is 14 wins on the trot from the 2001-2002 season.
Liverpool have amassed 11 win in a row in their charge for the Premier League title.
With Chelsea, Palace and Newcastle to go can they equal Arsenal's record this year and then go on a beat in next?
Will Liverpool beat Arsenal's record?

And whoever said Liverpool are "Worthy winners" Well no, not really, they aren't. To be that, they'd have had to play the same number of games as the rest of the contenders.

Which are these contenders? Weren't arsenal fans saying that Liverpool are not a competitor of Arsenal?

Contenders for the title. So City, Chelsea, Arsenal.
Effectively no, Liverpool have not been in an even competition with any of their "Big club" rivals. Because you haven't been in the competitions we have. The Usain Bolt example is a great one. If the EPL was the 100m final then Liverpool have run with no weights whilst Chelsea, Arsenal, City, Everton, Spurs (effectively the teams you'd expect to challenge them competitively) all had to run with 10-15 Kilos strapped to their ankles.
Since I could give Bolt a run for his money if you weighed him down, I think it's safe to say that Liverpool would not be anywhere near where they are had they been weighed down by Europe...
Especially since that's what the previous how many seasons with Liverpool in Europe has said already. The annoying thing is that Liverpool fans are bragging as though they've been title contenders the last five seasons when they had to play european fixtures too.
I cannot stand Chelsea or City so will be happy to celebrate Liverpool winning the title with any Liverpool fan that will admit they not have stood a chance of winning it having played in europe like everyone else. But this false front of "No, we are really this good" that you all seem to be coming off with is annoying to the point of making me not want you to win it. It's like Jesus saying he got no help from God

Liverpool and Arsenal are not competitors, Arsenal are competing for 4th spot while Liverpool are competing for the title.

Why is it then for numerous year Arsenal fall to pieces when they get knocked out the champions league at the quarter final stage whilst clubs like Chelsea and Man Utd go on good runs whilst still in them.
Arsenal must be really poor not to take advantage of this significant advantage.

It's not playing the 10-12 games to get that far in the ECL or Europa leaugue which gives the advantage I speak of. So Arsenal have never had it. I won't deny there is a problem at our club with February and early march though. But that has nothing to do with Liverpool being fresh and fully rested for every match they've played because they've not had midweek european fixtures tiring them half the season

25 man squad, make the most of them, fill them with top players with your champions league revenue.
Don't make excuses, deal with the situation.
Don't think I heard any Wigan fans complaining they went down because they played more games than their rivals.

Struggling to understand why arsenal wouldn't purposely flunk in other competitions to give themselves a better advantage in others.
Idiots!

Maybe that's why they go out the champions league early every year to help them get that 4th place finish

I'm not complaining we played more games. I'm just trying to get a Liverpool fan to actually admit that they'd not be anywhere near top spot if they'd had to play european games too like the teams who were likely to win the prem.
"No europe done us a favour and gave us a massive advantage over our rivals. But fair play to us, we still had to play and win the games." WHAT is so hard about saying that? It's only the truth. Why do you all make out playing your rivals when they played midweek and you never and playing 15 games less over the season made no difference to the teams form? Because ANY football fan knows it would have a huge impact on overall fatigue and form.
Just want some honesty about your team's season. If Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson can admit it why can't you.
