How many points to win the league?

Oh I don't know. I quite enjoyed the chase over the last 6 games in 2012, eventually.

That was the most stressed i have ever been. Up until the Aguero moment it was horrific which is why that moment is unlikely to be beaten.

We have won the league now. 87pts will do it. 5 wins. Might not beat Chelsea and Arsenal but we will get enough points. Start rotating and focus on CL and FA Cup now.
 
united can get 89
Liverpool 87
Chelsea 86
Spurs 85

86 is the magic number
They all have to play each other and apart from Liverpool all have to play us as well
There is no chance united will achieve the whole lot and they will at a minimum drop four points. Same for the other three, none will gain maximum points
To win the league clearly we require a maximum of 14 points from eleven matches and it's a near certainty to be less than 14
The league is in the bag
We win vs Arsenal at Wembley in two weeks and the quadruple really is on
 
I can't believe that 16 in front and playing the best football by a country mile, there are still some on here needing a serious head wobble..
The league was won 5 games ago, City will win it at a canter..... Now let's focus on the LC FAC & CL The first of the quadruple is a done deal ...
 
I want us to to get 100 points!!! This team deserves that

Exactly this pal. Doesn't matter how many we have when we make it mathematically certain; 80 points to win, 84, 85, whatever. This team deserves the premier league points record and that should be our aim.
 
I'll be stunned if we get 100 points or even near it to be honest. Also some of the predicted required points totals to win it seem a bit low to me, think someone said 79. I'm sticking with the 6 wins, 5 if one's against the red shite.
 
We are still on course for 100 points based on the tally so far, but only just.
We'll struggle to get 100 points in my opinion - low 90s is my guess. The team need to stay focussed in all competitions but there'll be a natural tailing off in effort towards the end with the title in the bag, especially with the World Cup looming.
 
Well the best predictive site on the net now says that only 78 points will win it.

We are predicted to get 96

Also says Liverpool will finish second though United are still our biggest threat with a 1 in 1000 chance of winning it.

On the other hand we could turn on the style....
 
As was pointed out to me, the last 4 fixtures are easy so we could rest players and still beat the 95 record points total. It will be close.

Pep will not let them relax as winning breeds a winning mentality for the more important games.

I think there is a 100% chance of United whining it. There whined long and loud in 2012!

They won't be easy if those teams are fighting to stay up and the title's won.

That's actually a myth like teams play better with ten men. If. You have a choice to play the bottom team trying to avoid going down or a mid table team, choose the team at the bottom as they are there for a reason.

People just remember the big escapes but they are much rarer than you would imagine.
