    Juve are 10 games away from going unbeaten in Serie A... and could join Arsenal's invincible league team.

    How do they compare?

    They have drawn more games than the Gunners, 14 at this stage.

    And scored fewer goals; although Arsenal were not particularly free-scoring that season themselves.

    Have any other European sides gone unbeaten?

    I can recall AC doing it once

    Yup, my money would be on Milan - their attack was precise and lethal but their defence was on another level of great. This Barca side are beatable, that Milan side were not.

    No, Barca would tear them a new one. Best club team of all time when they're at their best.

    Won't mean much if they don't win it they are 4 points behind Milan. If they win it it would be impressive but if they go unbeaten and come 2nd I believe it makes it pointless

    I see that view. But at the same time the milan defence of baresi, maldini, costacurta and tassoti. Not bad imo <ok>

    Drogs, nah mate, even that Barca team were not great defensively. Pressing the ball high as a team, yeah, but once you attack their defence they are nothing special. The likes of Gullit, Van Basten and Donadoni would've exposed their defence.

    Depends which milan side we are talking about. The one in 94 or in 89-90?

    And Juve dont have pires to kick hte goalie a few times in a season to get pens to save games, one in particular for a draw, cheating to go unbeaten is not really going unbeaten, its cheating

    Fortunately, history is not biased by bitterness, it records only the facts. Facts that show a 49 game unbeaten run by one of the greatest teams to ever grace the Premiership.

    Ever gone 49 games unbeaten? No? When was the last time Liverpool when 4 games unbeaten!?

    Indeed, Juve are 2nd. The fact they are unbeaten is more luck than ability.

    Agree. Juve should learn from Arsenal's mistakes

    I think if you asked the Juventus fans whether they care more about an unbeaten season or actually winning the league ... nobody will care about being "Invincible".

    Oooooh, thats a close one. Do I go for Capello's Milan with an attack/midfield of Donadoni, Desailly, Boban, Savi&#263;evi&#263;, Gullit and Marco Simone - or Sacchi's Milan with a midfield/attack of Albertini, Donadoni, Gullit and Riijkaard, Van Basten ?

    Probably the 1989 team.
