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

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Not sure of the difference in the end but could we even afford to draw a game ?

No.

i am not in a cave for 3 weeks or suicidal. I am 99.9 percent certain we will win it and when we do I will celebrate. I am
Not going to have a party today am I?

Mine started after anfield

can I come to Urs ?

Lockdown rules permitting of coarse!

 

[Francis Crawford]

probably about right there. The voice of reason.

So u now think 80 points is enough?

if u had a beer like me u would be in my zone of 74 points in a couple of hours !

What excuse are they using for the BBC in-house ladies team losing today?

This group of players (give or take) had the mental strength to win 14 on the spin two years ago with a brilliant Liverpool breathing down our necks as the spring progressed.

The notion that we’re going to surrender a fourteen point lead from here, or eleven assuming united win their game in hand, with seven games to go, is absurd.

People may point to 2012, but once united had drawn one and lost one in the run-in, our destiny was in our own hands. For this to fall into united’s hands with three games to go, we would need to lose our next four games, even if they win their game in hand, given the goal difference differential.

And those that point to ‘typical City’ conveniently forget Charlton, Bradford, Gillingham and Blackburn where we conspicuously delivered the goods when it mattered.

This isn’t arrogance, or being ‘raggy‘ - it’s the application of experience and logic. A team managed by Pep Guardiola will not lose this title from here.

Plus think of all the big games in the last 10 years or so. In 2012 we won the last 6 games to win the league, 2014 last 5, 2019 last 14.

We've also won 7 out of 8 finals. The only real typical city game was Wigan.

We have played 14 semi finals losing 5 since 2010. Probably only last season against Arsenal where we were big favorites and expected to win and lost.

We have a fantastic recent record in really big games and I fully expect and believe we will win the league with 3 4 games to go.

You’ll need to bring your own coat.

So not so typical, then?!

Welcome to the board, mate.

Cheers, just feeling my way around at the moment and getting to know who are the wums. You seem a very modest and honest type of poster, which I like

For a selfish reason, I'd like us to drag it out a bit more, so we can crush any little hope the Rags have of of winning the PL title.

But in reality, we need to win the PL title as fast as we can, so we can concentrate on the CL if we beat Dortmund.

Surprised at some of the ad homs being thrown at those who don’t think it’s done. Points to win the league- as many as it takes until we can’t be caught. Until then, I’ll take one game at a time and celebrate if and when we win it.

ad hom’s, surely?

Fair play to those still nervous but this is done, to the point where I wasn't really arsed about the result on Saturday as long as he picked a team with Dortmund in mind.

We need 11 points to secure it but looking at the remaining fixtures it's very unlikely we'll even need that:

City:
Leeds (H)
Aston Villa (A)
Crystal Palace (A)
Chelsea (H)
Newcastle (A)
Brighton (A)
Everton (H)

United:
Spurs (A)
Burnley (H)
Leeds (A)
Liverpool (H)
Aston Villa (A)
Leicester (H)
Fulham (H)
Wolves (A)


I think Burnley is the only game United will win comfortably.

They normally struggle at home to Burnley

They normally struggle at home to most teams. But the officials usually help to ensure victory where possible.

We need 11 points to win the league
There's 21 points to play for.
I can't see us losing 10 points out of the 7 remaining games

so naive .

We've won nothing 'til it's won.

OP can you not change this thread title to a countdown from 11....will be nice to see the rags implode and hand us the title b4 end of April...

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Wouldn't be surprised if their wasn't a welcome party for the Rags to face at Elland Road. Think this will be a very hard game for the rags even with no crowd in.
