Do you really believe the league is over...?

Also if we lost it from here I would have to think long and hard about giving up football and leaving the country
 
If we win the next 2, yes.

9 games left.

At home.

Brighton.
United.
Swansea.
Huddersfield.

Stoke.
Everton.
West Ham.
Spurs.
Southampton.

We can afford to lose 5 out of the last 9 games and still win the league. United have to win every game. One being against us. They play Liverpool as well.

United haven't won 10 games in a row all season. In fact I don't even think they've done it since Fergie was in charge and this team isn't a patch on any of his previous teams. I reckon 4 or 5 wins will be enough.
 
So look at it like this.

If the Rags win out (won't happen) they can get to 89 points. If Liverpool wins out, they get to 87. We sit at 72 right now. So the current magic number is 18 on the rags and 16 on the victims. Every win/draw by us lowers the number and every draw/loss by them lowers the number.

The math exists that we don't win it, but it would be beyond comprehension. We've dropped 9 points in 27 matches. We only need 18 out of 33 remaining points. We would have to not only drop 15 points, but the rags would have to go on a run unlike anything they've done all year. Their longest winning streak for either of those two is 4 matches (once). So if their last 10 follows the previous 28 for them, we can expect them to drop points at least a couple more times this season. So that is 4 minimum. So the magic number goes from 18 to 14. So that even lowers the bar for City to a point that we could still drop as many as 19 more points and still win it. But remember the team has only dropped 9 points. That is 1 point per 3 matches played on average.

All piss-easy games except for us and Liverpool.

Statistically and on average only 7 more points will do it.
