How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[HelloCity]

I haven't but I imagine it's luck. He's a good coach. Celtic and Leicester are not big fish in Europe. Arguably Pep's record in the CL is poor given who he has coached but obviously this is down to luck and the things that happen in one-off games.

Pep has a better record in the CL than Ferguson.

just spent about 5 minutes trying to make a graph on excel, find a line of best fit, work out the standard deviation... I really do remember fuck all A level Maths. Basically I conclude we will win the league easily

You lost me after "5 minutes".

To be fair I lost myself

I'll be surprised and shocked if we lose tomorrow, a draw is a slight possibility, but come on its West Ham the team we usually put 3,4,5 goals passed with ease, I know they've improved but not enough to get a result at the Etihad

That's it, you've fucking jinxed it now.
Where did I put the lynch list...

Home Games;- West Ham, Wolves, Rags, Saints, Leeds, Chelsea, Everton.
Away Games:- Fulham, Leicester, Villa, Palace, Newcastle, Brighton.

Those away matches, apart from Leicester, all look very winable. The home matches do not look too bad either though on paper harder than the away games. I think winning nine of those is very doable giving us a minimum of 86 points. That would leave Leicester and the Rags needing to win all their remaining fixtures which as they play each other in early May is a mathematical impossibility. We win both the matches against them and good night Vienna.

Good afternoon!

No
it was definitely QPR.
I can’t forget Gerry Francis dodgy mullet

Gerry Francis had retired long before Sun Jihai arrived in Manchester!

 

[ancoats]

one game at a time sweet jesus

 

[Vienna_70]

I was going to post the song but its probably grounds for instant dismissal.

@jimharri would be well within his rights to issue a permaban, IMHO.

 

[Vienna_70]

Win the next four home games and we’re then basically at the point where Pep can prioritise cup competitions over the league.

Would have laughed at anyone around mid December who said we would be in that position.

Wouldn’t we all have?

 

[Vienna_70]

How can so many Manchester City fans think that Leicester or Man Utd will get so many points when their results project around 74 points?

Just being cautious and not counting our chickens.

You know me too well.

Agreed, he was doing the sky punditry shite at the time.

I suspect with your username you were at the Prata Stadium all those years ago. Did you get pissed wet through, I did.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

It suggests only that losing Maddison for any length of time will damage them significantly.

We said the same about Van Dijk at Liverpool last season and we were right
We just got the wrong season

No, I wasn’t there, but Mrs Vienna was, and yes, she got soaked through.

I chose the username in tribute to her and the place/year of our first European trophy success.

Obviously.

 

[Vicmeldrew666]

For both Brendas Bottlers and scum, 10 wins and a draw required from 13 games to reach 80 points. 2 losses max each.
In comparison we only need to win 7 to get to 80 points.
I do not think either will get near, even with pigshit bent pigmol intervention.

 

[Father Paul]

Just being cautious and not counting our chickens.

I think it is wise to assume a five to seven point bonus which yields a total in the low 80's. I would be astounded if we need more than 83/84 points to be certain of it.

I can see us increasing our lead at the top over the weekend
