How many points to win the league?

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Ha ha. You are not wrong. I've been giving it the "yeah the leagues over now" to my mates then I'm lay in bed at night and the little city thought devil appears telling me that "if we lose to Liverpool it will only be 10 points and then we could do this and that and De Bruyne and Silva get injured and Pep leaves us and Pearce takes over again and united win every game and and and and! FUCK OFF thought devil!

It's not over, but i bet that the bookies aren't taking much money on anyone else winning it.

Well if it was the other way around city wouldn’t think a second about doing it but that lot will come up with an excuse why they won’t be doing it or in other Gill will come up with why they won’t be doing one.

Not in the slightest bit bothered whether those irrelevant cunnts do or don’t. Our team spirit is so strong, our players won’t give a fuck about a guard of honour, especially from those smelly red twats, just imagine having to run under Phil Jones’s armpits, no fucking ta

Yeah agree we won the premier league twice never had a guard of honour

Sorry, I think this is getting a little ahead of ourselves. We are only in a very good position. Nothing more, nothing less.
The trouble with football is that it never goes the way it is supposed too.

The only thing i'm confident about is how poor the rags really are. They have begged borrowed and stole points.
They have no set style of play and this confuses me, as it does their players!
They do have some quality, and that is snatching some goals. But as they drop points and get knocked out of the cups, they will disintegrate.
Peg's style of management only works if you are winning. He's a busted flush and it's only a matter of time.

So while i'm still keeping my powder dry, i'm pretty pleased with things so far.

What a pessimist win our 9 home matches and lose ALL our away games will give us 82 points but with a decent goal difference. Spurs got second with that last year.
Mate if me and you played centre back till may we would still get chimps league !

i think it will not matter what the points total will be to win the league this season it will be the size of the points gap between 1st and the rest pep would have set a total of around 90 points before the season started and having a mini league of the top 6 each clubs would take points of each other so anything around the 90 mark would have win the league this season

but the gap between manchester city and united is 13 and even bigger with the rest miles away so pep and city will control the points total and its up to the players to keep going the champions league and cups will also control the points total if we are still in them near the end of the season and the rotation of the squad will be key

am going for manchester city to bank 87 points as quickly as possible and win the league by the 33rd game that would mean united would have to get 100 points and that is not going to happen and after that the team would be looking at champions league and fa cup if we are still lucky enough to still be in them the league would be squad rotation

its a funny old game and never before have a team run away with the league and still in all competitions before christmas even the transfer window is now only going to make us stronger and if we can get stones and mendy back to full speed its the strongest squad in europe never mind england

Well that can't happen
If the scum won every game between now and the end of the season they will get 99 points.
The darlings Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham can only manage 92, 91 and 91, and they all have to play one another. So effectively any dropped points and the media darlings knock themselves out of the title.

 

[davymcfc]

That would be great but could you imagine winning it the game before? Guard of honour, magnanimous praise from Mourinho(or whoever's there manager by then) singing championees for 90 mins

This would be the dream. I can imagine all the banners in the crowd as well. Is the guard of honour enforceable though? I remember going to old Trafford a few years ago and they had won the league the game before. I’m pretty we didn’t give them a guard of honour.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Imagine the scenario, we get the scum in the qtr final of the champs league, we rip them out one in the first leg, and then it’s guard of honour for the home derby....

If carsberg did...

Hehe PEG would self combust..... does milk work as well as water to extinguish fire?

Scum 99
Chelsea 96
Dippers 92
Arse/Spuds 91

With the caveat that they all play each other bar dippers and arse.
90 points should do it really.

 

[worsleyweb]

90 points will do it. The rags will do well having to come to ours still and also have spurs at Wembley and home games vs Chelsea, arsenal and Liverpool.

I think the most they can get is 99. They will drop 9 at least.

That means we need 35 points - 11 wins 2 draws 7 defeats. Surely we will do that?

Be nice to win he next 3 before the dippers.

That will mean 26 points needed from 16 games.
