5 Most memorable Premier League seasons between 2000-2010

#3 2003/04

The season saw Arsenal go unbeaten

Whereas there was little final day drama in this season, it makes the list purely because it was groundbreaking in many ways. Firstly, it was the season of the Invincibles, a season in which Frenchman Arsene Wenger guided his Gunners side to a majestic unbeaten season.

In addition, this season seemed to truly mark the beginning of the “modern” Premier League. Leeds United were relegated after being in the Champions League semi-final just two years prior to their downfall.

In Leeds’ wake emerged a new titan of English football, Chelsea. Backed by Abramovich’s investment, Chelsea signed players like Claude Makelele and Veron, to ally themselves with British talents such as Joe Cole and Frank Lampard. The Blues would go on to dominate the two succeeding PLs.

However, this season truly belonged to Arsenal, boasting the likes of the magical Dennis Bergkamp, and the unstoppable Thierry Henry.

It was a somewhat disappointing season for Manchester United, but then again Fergie was regenerating his team with the departure of players such as David Beckham, and introducing the new breed of talent in Ronaldo and Rooney. Charlton were the surprise package of the season, coming seventh, and having the Football Writers’ Player Of The Year Scott Parker in their ranks.
