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

[goalmole]

Leicester will focus on the top 4.

The stage is just nicely set up for Ian Nacho, a proper City fan, to win City the title.
He's got form.

It's a shame you think like that. I'm sure all the blues that have confidence in their side that at one point won over 20 games in a row and built a double digit lead are in your opinion as bad as United fans.


Even the United fans think it's over. This is just people so afraid of the 1% possibility it backfires they're unwilling to stick their neck out that tiny bit.

Or its fans who still want to dig Pep out for some unfathomable reason.

Come on guys, it's not been a great weekend but no need to go Blue on Blue. Keep it civil eh?

Agree mate, some posters can't help themselves.

It's actually seriously what they still think over in Liverpool. Just as in Trafford Park they're convinced that QPR threw the match.

 

[goalmole]

You got a like from @Big Dave Watson, mate. Well done.

Hahahaha.

We'll have it won one way or the other by the end of the week. Cant believe why anyone would piss their pants over this

Yep, some of the flapping is ridiculous. Even an eternal pessimist like me knows there is no chance we won’t win it from here.

 

[manimanc]

Yes, but when will we get them? If he plays the reserves for the last three games we've got no chance. Things are going to get really tenses the longer we leave it, and we don't want to go into the last against Everton needing a win. I can't see Utd slipping up.

FFS another one banging the utd won't slip up drum.

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THEY DO!!

Imagine we get to the game against Everton needing a win? Would you still be as confident??????

I've been having nightmares about that scenario since our loss yesterday and the rags win today. The plus is both Leicester and Liverpool really both have to win to try and keep/get into the top four. The problem is I'm not sure they will, even given the close proximity of the two games. The rags are on a roll now and our inability to do our own job has given them a lift. There are also rumours coming out from Leicester about some pretty serious shit that has happened behind the scenes and this could disrupt their team. Looking at their collapse against Newcastle it wouldn't surprise me if something is up.

As for ourselves we have to be careful all this resting of players and tinkering doesn't disrupt our momentum and confidence. If the rags win these two games this week I'm really going to start sweating. The "Shut up it's done" band will keep on playing the same tune just like the one on the Titanic as the water continued to rise

If United have 50 % chance to win both games with Leicester and Liverpool, and if we have 80 % chance to win at Newcastle, then the chance that we are champions on Friday is 90 %. Not bad.

In order United to have 50 % to win both games, they must have roughly 70 % chance to win any of them, and that's not quite realistic. Chances are more like 70 % to beat Leicester and 50 % to beat Liverpool (still optimistic takes, given that United play 3 games over 4 days: Villa, Leicester and Liverpool). So, realistically, United have no more than 35 % chance to win both games. Which means that our chances to be champions already on Friday are over 90 %.

 

[goalmole]

Hahahahhaha funny the last few pages on here people need to calm down. We only need one more win. Hopefully Pep will play our first 11 against Newcastle.

Funny doesn't cover it.
This is one of the most enjoyable threads for ages.
I hope the rags and dippers haven't been reading it, they'll be pissing themselves laughing.

If you seriously believe that may I suggest following another sport as you don't understand football.

It's good to keep feeding the paranoia.

 

[goalmole]

And we're not capable of getting 3 points?

Fear does funny things to the mind.

 

[Akpowell]

their last two games are Fulham (h) and Wolves (a)

If they come through the next two games this week with 6 points we can't rely on them dropping any more points

Personally I think they'll drop at least 2 points this week, probably more

Don't Leicester play the FA cup final on Saturday

 

[johnnytapia]

If the worst happens I will have nearly four grand coming my way.

4 billion wouldn’t be enough

 

[Coatigan]

I wouldn't put it pass them to win all 3, they're quite capable of doing that I'm afraid

And if they do, we'll still be 4 points ahead, with a game in hand. We will still need 3 points from the last 3 games.

 

[goalmole]

I doubt we will need any points, its done.

Mate, don't go there.
The last 2 words of your post are like a red rag to a bull for some on here.

Don't talk sense to the fanny.
