How many points to win the league?

[dickie davies]

As long as we keep the points lead over 2nd place no lower than 12 points (which would be a hard task in itself of course), we only need to win our next 12 games (up to game 35, the home game against Swansea) to win the title at 98 points. Which would mean that even if we lost the last 3 games of the season, we would still win the title. This assumes of course that United does not f**k up (i.e. draw/lose more times than we do) between now and the 34th game. Realistically speaking I feel that there is a good chance the title might actually be won at the Manchester Derby game (at home) on the 7th of April considering how inconsistant (compared to us) United have been this season.

We play united the first week of April (33rd league game, subject to FA and CFLC postponements) so one team or both will definitely drop points

I wanna work out other teams possible point totals.

I think that would be even more satisfying than going the season unbeaten.

9 wins should crack it.

i don't think this is anywhere near as easy as people think. We have a really tough set of remaining games in my opinion. Going to be much closer than it is now. I just did a predictor and had us one point above the rags and we had to win at Saints on the last day. The rags have 10 games that they will most likely win.

I think it will be close if we see a continuation of the defensive mistakes that are creeping back into our game. If we take a deep breath, focus and put in two or three really good performances in th3 next three games we will be fine.

Think we probably scored too many goals.

15 games left.

Assumption based on taking a look at the remaining fixtures, and being very pessimistic for us:

Worst case for us W7 D5 L3

Dippers best case W13 D2 L0

Rags best case W11 D4 L0

We win the league above the Dippers. Both on 88 points, but we have a superior goal difference

Dippers still have to go to rags.......nasty
Rags still have to come to us ......nasty.
No flap 8 wins and 7 defeats for us would still cause massive problems for chasers.
After me...its in the bag in the bag......repeat ad nausea
