How many points to win the league?

[117 M34]

In short .... 12 points from Arse(A), Chelsea(H), Stoke(A), Brighton(H) & Everton(A), followed by a win against United and the title is ours on GD, even if United win EVERY other game remaining.

I think in this scenario, we would win it outright against them not just on GD.
The brighton game will be moved though if we beat wigan

They have Chelsea and Liverpool at home and Palace away over their next three matches. I could see them dropping points in all of them.

4 wins plus all 3 points in the derby will be enough by my reckoning.

By mine too.

18 points needed; 15 if we win the derby.

4 wins plus all 3 points in the derby will be enough by my reckoning.

Yes we could afford to lose at either Arsenal or Everton where our record is poor and win it in the derby.

Arsenal (A)
Chelsea (H)
Stoke (A)
Brighton (H)
Everton (A)
Scum (H)
Spurs (A)
Swansea (H)
West Ham (A)
Huddersfield (H)
Southampton (A)

Six wins ices it.

There is still the possibility that the Arsenal game will be rearranged if a draw at Wigan and almost certain the Brighton one will be as both still in cup.

Win it v Brighton at home for me. They will drop plenty of points in the next 5 games

Brighton at home gets moved if we beat Wigan. Might win the league the game after United (at Spurs) provided United win all their games beforehand

 

[Delphinho]

I want to win it asap and play the fucking EDS against them because they don't fucking matter

No, play the strongest possible 11, and smash them

We will hopefully have the CL to play for. I'm not worried about smashing Europa league at best squads.

Let the EDS smash them

Have you seen our EDS this season? Not very promising

 

[buckshot]

The derby is looking like it could be the chance for City to knock them out of the top four.

Have you seen the rags?

I'd prefer to lose against Chelsea as I'd like the rags out of the top 4

EDS been shit this year. It's a derby and I never want to lose 1 even if league is already won I want to inflict more pain on them.

Full strength and smash em.

Still no guarantee that the EDS would win against them

Exactly

 

[chesterbells]

Just looked at United's fixtures and think they'll only get 15 to 18 more points!!!!!
Titles won

After the way they played today I can see them getting v little from their next 3, home to Chelsea and liverpool, and away to Palace - wouldnt surprise me at all if they only got 4 from 9 there.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

If United follow the same points per game trajectory for the rest of the season the will finish with 79 points. They are not winning 11 games, not in a million years. As little as 3 more wins could possible see us as champions.

As long as we're above them I'm not that arsed about them tbh.

Would we get the trophy in our last home game, rather than away at Southampton, can anyone confirm ?

Leicester received it after their last home game with an away game left to play
