There is an article at football365.com by an Arsenal fan that puts it best.

Arsenal are unbeaten, but that does not take into account the dynamics of individual matches. The history books won't show that if Van Nistelrooy had put away his penalty at Old Trafford, Arsenal would have been beaten in September, a month into the season. If Pires hadn't dived at Portsmouth, Arsenal would have been beaten in October.

You get the idea. The fact that they were not beaten in the league this season is not nearly as significant as the style of football they played. That is the impressive part. They won the league fair and square, but in my eyes, United's treble will always be a greater achievement than an unbeaten league run.
