How many points to win the league?

[didsburyblu]

So, the dream is to win it the week before the derby so they have to give us a guard of honour at our place?

I'd rather win it by beating them. Sweet revenge for them locking us in and playing glory glory man united over and over to us many years ago

With our goal difference 20 more points wins it. Unlikely but hopefully the Geordie's take something off the rags.

 

[Blue Llama]

8 wins....

No, 8 points

As City fans we're wired this way. We lose all sense of perspective because, thankfully, we don't have the arrogance of others. If this was Liverpool, Utd and possibly even Chelsea now, the media would be fawning over every minute of every game, winners T-shirts would be printed and the open top bus would be getting fuelled up ready for the parade. But we're City, we don't gloat, we just hold our breath until it's mathematically impossible for anyone to catch us, and even then we'd be worrying about having points deducted!!! I love it that the majority of City fans are wired this way, we're not 2nd class citizens, we don't have an inferiority complex but years of cock ups have left there mark, and for me I'd much prefer to be this way than have the arrogance of the self-entitled media darlings that are Utd and Liverpool.

Totally agree with all you say. Sick of the media and the fans of other clubs telling us its signed sealed and delivered.Its NOT.

Rags will drop points against the Chavs and Dippers and possibly West Ham away (with Zabs giving them a good kicking) , so five wins from the last eleven games gives us our third title in seven seasons.

I really want us to beat Chelsea’s record points tally. It would be another trophy in itself. If we break it it won’t be topped for a long long time, unless maybe by us lol.

 

[Hoghead]

As long as we beat the rags at home and then it's only 6 wins, 18 points out of a possible 33.
That's if my maths is correct.

Really tough run of games coming up we it's not over yet.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Not since City hit 40 points a couple of months back.

And safety!

With a 25+ goal difference then realistically we have to mess up 5 times now to give the title away.
I should also point out tgat when Utd came back from 12 points behind in 1995/96 to beat Newcastle by 4 pts that after 27 games played Utd had already closed the points gap to 4.points.

It will be a minimum of 13 on Monday.so Utd are 9 points behind schedule on that come back.

We still have sticky fixtures with away games to North London sides and home to United and Chelsea.I think we will be able to beat both United and Chelsea at home but I guess it won't be easy at Wembley and it usually doesn't go our way at Emirates.Hoping for good results away to these teams.Also hope that we have Silva And Sane Jesus back for time to face Arsenal in cup final and tough PL games after that.
Not that United will win all their matches to end but still I think we 18 points more should be good

13 points and the title is ours.

The very best Manure will finish on is 85 points and that's the very best.

If you came into a room wet through and wearing a mac with water pouring off an umbrella and told me it was raining, I’d still go out and check.

It’s over.

I like everything about this comment!

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Going off the average over the past few seasons (87) realistically I think another max 15 points should see us home.
However we have some tough aways left at Arsenal Spurs Stoke and Everton.

 

[squirtyflower]

Three less than this time yesterday

Stoke?

 

[blueinsa]

Im getting worried as apparently we have lots of tough games coming up and our form so far this season might suggest we will struggle a little.........

Effectively 17 points clear right now......17 fucking points.

Christ on a bike.

17 unless they score 10 a game from now onwards

Who come out with that whopper?
I know sky sports news said last week after we drew and the rags won , and I quote, that the gap is now down to JUST 13 points. JUST 13 POINTS??
I had to rewind it a few times to check my hearing was ok but yep just 13 points.
Bless em, the pain must be unbearable.
