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

[jrb]

We best win tonight, otherwise it will be the start of squeaky bum time. Especially with a tuff match away to Fulham before the Rags play West Ham with 2 games in-hand.

A win tonight and against Fulham will leave us 17 points clear of the rags, and will pile huge pressure on them before they play West Ham.

United have a tuff game against AC Milan in the Thursday Night Cup. 3 games in a week, with the same team playing, more or less. West Ham will have had a weeks rest.

A cheeky £7 would get you just over £1000, and if the worse came to It and happened leave the country for a month or so to try and get over it, All dependant on covid and travel obviously.

You would be better staying in England if the rags won it.

More of those rat fuckers abroad

Now it’s in the teens, it feels like the countdown is on. But we’ve got to think that we must achieve the 17 points needed, not that it’s already in the bag.

It will reduce if and when the closest team to us drops points, but only when that happens, and we still have to win these 17 points until it does.

6 wins
5 wins, 2 draws
4 wins, 5 draws

14 points ahead, we would need to lose 5 of the next 9 for united to overtake us, with them winning all their games, is that right? , can't think straight lol

I'm a bit embarrassed I couldn't work it out myself now haha

 

[worsleyweb]

I keep looking at their fixtures. They will get 20 plus points easily.

 

[Indaparkside]

Regardless of how many points they get it ain’t going to make no difference to the outcome, anyone who thinks we will lose the league from here needs to be sectioned the rags always get up for the so called big games they will drop points to the lesser teams I guarantee

 

[malg]

3 points less than yesterday.

 

[bridgeblue]

I keep looking at their fixtures. They will get 20 plus points easily.

They haven't managed that points ratio over the last 28 games, they might get 23 or 24 at best, that means 4 wins for us will be more than enough.

 

[jrb]

Remaining hard games where United will have to play their best team, and the same players, with little or no rotation.

Milan. Thursday Night Cup.
West Ham. PL.
Milan. Thursday Night Cup.
Leicester. FA Cup.
Spurs. PL.
Leeds. PL.
Liverpool. PL.
Villa. PL.
Leicester. PL.


Winnable.

Brighton.
Burnley.
Fulham.
Wolves.
15 points.

+ possible additional fixtures in the FA Cup and Thursday Night Cup.



As City win eacg game, their chances of winning the PL title disappear, and so does their belief and will to win each game and the PL title.Eventually it will be out of their hands.

If we get through, the FA cup Semis could get in the way of that - Dependent on us being able to rearrange villa to the following Midweek There is the possibility we only play 3 leagues game before May.
