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

[Platt Lane veteran]

I reckon we'll either confirm the title, or be a point away following Villa, currently 17th April.


LC next 4 games..SU, City, WHAM WBA. I reckon they'll win two, draw two. = P32 PTS 62.

Rags: WHAM, Brighton, Spurs Burnley...I reckon win two, draw and lose 1 each = P32 PTS 61...

City: LC, LEEDS, VILLA: 1 DRAW 2 WINS = P33 PTS 78.

If we win the next three, that will be it, but I think with games in Europe and domestic cups, I think we'll maybe be a little jaded or cautious against Leicester, hence I think we'll draw that game.

Would love to win it on April 25th, beat Spurs in the Final and win 2 Cups in 1 day. Only Pep could do that!

13 points and superior goal difference..anyone?

I thought it was Tottenham's year this year?

According to Arry it was

 

[adrianr]

I am the same, they haven't averaged 2 points a game all season and I can't see them doing so over the last 10 games. we could afford to draw out final 8 games and still win the league by at least 4 points in my opinion.

They're looking down, not up. They'll do as much needed for automatic CL and nothing more.

13 points?

There's a small chance that 71 pts will be enough for the title. 74 pts will give us about 50% chance to win and 77 pts over 70%, in my opinion. If United don't win tomorrow, 77 pts will most likely be sufficient, i.e. another 2 wins.

Anyway, we are in a fantastic position.

In the last 8 years, United have only managed to get to 71 points once and that was 3 years ago Mourinho when they were 19 behind with 81. Frankly they are still as bang average as anytime during that 8 years and I don't see getting beyond 75 points at best.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I think if we win 3 more games that will be good enough. Might not even need that.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We should declare now , the Rags won't get 71 points if they play until xmas.

 

[fareastblue]

we are on 71 the earliest utd will get to 70 will be on Labours Day and they need us to lose every game from now to overtake us on that day

 

[MK-Blues]

also are we at a points total where liverpool can’t reach? so basically they have now ‘lost’ their title!

Not yet. They can get to 73, we're currently on 71.

Ohhhh don't be posting comments like that it's 'raggish'.

God forbid lol!

I know you're being facetious, it baffles me with some folk on here who want to downplay everything - We should enjoy our dominance, this respectful stiff upper lip approach isn't afforded to us, nor should it be afforded BY us. Let them know, we are the the pinnacle! YESSSSSSSSSSS
