    @Hazza1979 don't know what names... just don't want us to sell half the squad and only then buy... (like last year)

    Are we the victims of a grand Spurs plan where we are forever in a 3rd place, trophyless comfort zone? http://t.co/AmZ4gLyB

The Invincibles: so good they never found themselves losing with a minute to go

Earlier this week The Invincibles (yes, it should be capitalised) were rightly named team of the past two decades of Premier League football.

For me it wasn’t just a case of going unbeaten that made them stand out. Unlike other season’s winners, they never even had a bad run of form: two draws on the spin was as bad as it ever got before they took the foot off the gas with the title secured.

Everyone remembers how close the non-penalty in the final minute at Old Trafford came to ending our run. And how our own spot-kick in the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth was probably a dive.

But they forget how we were never once losing in a single game at any stage during the final 20 minutes.

Think about that fact for a moment. It is unbelievable.

They say it is a mark of champions to be able to turn a loss into a win in stoppage time.

Maybe. But what of the teams who are so good they never even find themselves in that position?
