How many points to win the league?

So today's liverpool result means they can't be centurions (not that it was ever likely).

Yeah i'm well happy with that! Maybe for it to be equaled or beaten some time in the distant future but didn't want that happening the very year after we did it. That really would have been Typical City.

I can't see it ever being beaten or equalled, I didn't think they would, but its good now they can't.

A draw and a defeat (5 points dropped) is probably the minimum that we require. I can't see Liverpool dropping more than 6 or 7.

They've dropped 9 points in the last 7 league games and look completely out of ideas, they'll drop at least 9 in the next 11 games.

If we get ahead the pressure will be off them and on to us. A bit like 2012 when we fell behind Utd in similar manner to their current form.

Nah, they'll still be under tremendous pressure to win and take advantage of any slips we might make. The only way the pressure is coming off them is if they play their way out of the title race as we basically did in 2012. That would mean dropping around 9 points if we were flawless.

95

I think we can maybe afford one more draw or loss but we may need to win them all.

It's still 90. Given that Spurs play both ourselves and the dippers, and given that the max points achievable by the three sides with 11 games remaining is;
Dippers 99
Us 98
Spurs 93

It's almost inevitable that 2 of the 3 sides are going to finish on 90 or less, making 90 the winning line.

9 games remaining it's;
Us 98
Dippers 97
Spurs 91

Still 90.
