4. Arsenal Celebrate Invincibles Day

You can’t miss it, can you?

Just like St. Totteringham’s Day, one that sadly has’t come around for too many years, supporters also have a special day to celebrate the moment where every side in the Premier League loses at least once.

It’s familiar to everyone, purely because it has happened every single season since the competition started back in 1992. Except this one time, back in the early 2000’s, where a certain Arsenal Football Club under Arsene Wenger went the entire season without losing a single fixture.

What’s the closest any side has come since? One need only go back to 2018/19 where Liverpool remarkably tasted defeat just once all campaign, a 2-1 loss away at Manchester City, and still didn’t lift the title.

And if it was Jurgen Klopp’s side once more who ensured Invincibles Day came around nice and early as the only undefeated side left in the division fell to a 3-2 loss away at West Ham on Sunday night.

While ideally David Moyes’ side will be losing these matches to open up the race for the European places, the fact it happened mere hours after Arsenal saw off Watford meant it capped off a superb weekend. There is quite literally no reason not to be elated as the international break comes around.
