Arsenal's superb response to Liverpool fan following 'overrated' Invincibles dig

Arsenal are celebrating the 16-year anniversary of the club's historic achievement.

In the 2003/04 season, Arsene Wenger's side did what seemed to be impossible and completed an entire Premier League season without suffering a single defeat.

On May 15, 2004 the Gunners came from behind to beat Leicester City thanks to goals from Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira to etch the club's name into history books.

And to remember the feat, the club's official Twitter account has removed all the 'L's from their profile page to drive home the point that the team suffered no 'L's (losses) that season.

But one Liverpool supporter attempted to spoil the party.

"12 draws, that's 24 points lost, very overrated," @ModioSane replied on Twitter.

To which the official Arsenal account had a perfect response.

Using a classic meme of Jack Wilshere saying "Ok mate" to dismiss the sly dig in a brilliant manner.

At one stage this season, Arsenal's proud record was under serious threat from the current league leaders.

Prior to Liverpool's 3-0 loss at Watford at the end of February, they had gone 44 Premier League games without suffering a single defeat and for that reason Jamie Carragher is convinced a team will soon emulate the Gunners.

"Well I have always said that was the best team I have played against," he said on Sky Sports ' Football Show. "And not necessarily just that season. There was a two or three year period from 2002-2004 and I think in 2003 Man United won the league, but if I'm being honest, I still felt Arsenal were the team in that year. I think they threw it away in that season.

"It wasn't just because they were so good technically, they were so big, powerful, quick, strong. You always went on to the pitch wondering which area of the game you are better in.

"And normally if the team is really good technically, you can outfight them, outmuscle them. But with that Arsenal team, it was such a powerful team as well as pace-wise.

"The unbeaten achievement - as Gary says - you are always going to lose games in a Premier League season.

"You can get so close like Liverpool did this season and the Watford thing happened.

"I do feel like the last couple of years, teams are getting closer."
