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

[Chi-town blues]

it’s not how many games city need to win but more like how many games will rags and Lc lose from here and out .

 

[trumpton]

We had a mediocre (at best) start to the season and picked up 20 points from 12 games. 20 more now from the remaining 12 puts us on 82 which should be too many for the rest.

If the Rags drop any points today then as a worse case scenario we would only need to win 8 out of our last 12 games. As I said I`m basing that on a worse case scenario of both "them from Trafford" and Leicester winning their remaining games ... which aint gonna happen ... surely ;)

The league is over folks, enjoy the run in and bask in the boiled piss and salty tears

3 points v wolves is all we can ask for, united can still get to 88 points, until they cant catch us we haven't won anything

82 points, as Chelsea will beat them today, then we’ll hammer them next week.

Pep hasn't beaten Ole at the Etihad so not sure where that confidence comes from.

I have this warm tingling feeling in my legs.
It tells me we are going for the jugular and show them just what playing at a level they could only dream of, looks like at first hand.

Or I’ve just pissed myself!

when and if that happens i will be happy to lower the points we need, as it stands 89 points are needed not 1 less or more.

Are we to conclude from that that Ole's a genius and can outsmart Pep at will? It's an anomaly, nothing more.

That's not saying that we will definitely beat them next week but I don't think previous results have any bearing on it.

Let's not count our chickens just yet. If Newcastle win all their games 5-0 (which is very possible with Steve Bruce's free flowing brand of football) and we lose all of ours, they can still catch us on goal difference.

Lol

It's not an anomaly, it's them setting up to play anti-Pep every time they play us and it working.

Hopefully Dias and the Cancelo adjustment protect us this time, however our continued profligate finishing will mean we make it a difficult game regardless.

Only 2 games,a league cup and a League game no problem.

Given that one of our closest rivals just lost 3-1 at home to a very average Arsenal, and look to have lost a key player for the rest of the season (I take no pleasure in it but it's a fact), it looks like a two horse race *cough*

It would be CRIMINAL if we allow them lot to overtake us, so come on Chelsea - we don't need assistance, but it's always nice to see them lose

It's over.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I’m not getting carried away or cocky but why is everyone saying it’s a two horse race ? There’s no race at all no horses either .. Finito !
One is a red donkey and the other one is rags.

If the Rags lose today after Leicester losing earlier I think I will revise the points required to win the league to 78.

The season is done, there is no coming back from this for either of them.

 

[RegMuffin]

Changed my vote to fewer than 75. Can't see United reaching 75 and Leicester look bang average earlier. They have to win 9 from 12 to get there. Not a chance.

Five wins and we're done Blues.

Some one said earlier on another thread could we wrap up the league before the efl Cup final .... I would love that
