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

You’d back city to beat all of those teams. As they will too

Give it a wipe and have a lie down man

 

[blue for life]

I will only start to worry if our lead gets down to single figures. Even then games are running out. Still think we will win it by at least 10.

With a full team out we would, but with the team that played today we wouldn't

 

[mjkismgs]

they're not getting full points that's for sure

Nothing is for sure in football, that's why it's the greatest sport ever devised.

 

[mjkismgs]

We are not going to get through that list of games without losing one or two

We are not going to get through that list of games without losing one or two

Well it's a funny list of games in which we get past Dortmund and then the next game is the CL quarter final second leg.

 

[borassic]

United will win all their remaining games. It’s up to us to get the requisite points.

Are you trying to bluff or something? United will drop points tomorrow

 

[johnnytapia]

Quoting this for when they drop a point.

Okay.

 

[johnnytapia]

Nope, I genuinely think they’ll win all their remaining league games. Just a gut feeling and not based on any rational analysis. Just think they will and that we’ll need those 11 points.

Absolutely no chance that happens. They’ve got some tough games against teams fighting for CL places or against relegation and it’s the tail end of the season. They will drop at least 6 points

 

[wolviedinho]

All that matters in the league is beating villa. Annoying that it is not until the 21st. Never mind who the rags beat before then. 3 points and 1 less game is the goal.

 

[mjkismgs]

no I'm not. We were largely bobbins, which we were, and we had a little spell where we should have scored a hatful, and didn't. Hence meaning we had rest people today and risk getting done on away goals next week instead of it being over.

of course it is, but you'd hope after nearly 5 years we wouldn't hit the same stumbling blocks at the same point in the season and Pep would have figured out a way to peak at this stage of the season instead of us dropping off and scrapping in every game way below our best and making lots of mistakes.

I find it pretty hard to believe that you are a City fan and not a Utd or Liverpool supporting troll. It's palpable nonsense to talk about not peaking in the latter stages of a season under Pep, when City won 14 games on the trot at the end of the 2018-19 season to deny Liverpool the title and still also managed to win both domestic Cups that season, whilst missing out in the Champions League by the very narrowest of margins. But frankly, anyone who claims that he is currently watching a side that is "scrapping in every game way belwo our best and making lots of mistakes" cannot be taken seriously.

 

[mjkismgs]

Our performances have significantly dropped since March.

We are looking like 15/16 Barca, looked like winning the treble again until March. Collapsed after that and won the league by a point in the end after being about 10 in front and scraped to win the Copa del Rey.

Utter rubbish, the performance against Leicester just last weekend was top class.

 

[mjkismgs]

I wish posters would stop saying it is won.

NO IT IS NOT.

We just lost to a 10 man Leeds United at home, you arrogant fuckers.

You are absolutely right. Thank you.

So we didn't shit the bed in an eminently winnable tie against Spurs that year? Must have missed that.

We made hard work of West Ham and Wolves, lost to the Rags, made hard work of Everton in the cup, eventually broke down Fulham & Leicester, were largely poor against Dortmund and again today. First 20 minutes v Gladbach was the last time we came out really on our game from the start and took the game by the scruff of the neck and killed it early like we do in our pomp.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Did anybody put money on the scum to win the league incase it goes tits up?

Yhp, £1,200 if it goes tits up. We either win the league in which case it's £15 well spent or I can send my liver into oblivion with the blood money.

 

[mjkismgs]

Exactly, 5 of the top 10 left, with a decent Wolves, a relegation scrapping Fulham and Burnley left, they won't be anywhere near us at the end. They won't get to 80 in my opinion, maybe not even 75.

You have no idea how Utd will actually perform in those matches, don't kid yourself.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Unreal we are fretting on spurs doing us a favour tomorrow given the points position a few weeks back.
Self inflicted misery Pep, wrong team, wrong game to fuck up in.

Me too

Yes you did miss that Spurs tie if that's your view, were you actually at the games?

You avoid responding on what else I pointed out about the 2018-19 season because you cannot deny the simple facts.

You are not a City fan.
