How many points to win the league?

[Gaylord du Bois]

Just 19 points from 24 now for the ton.
6 wins and draw.

Would love for it to come down to the rags needing a win at ours, Jose having to attack us on our pitch. He will shit himself and park the bus. Wonder how the media will write up his "defensive masterclass" that wins us the title.

if it still mathematically possible for them to win the title by the time we play them, Jose will park the bus, hit us on the break with long balls into the channels and upto Lukaku just like he did against liverpool........if we have it wrapped up by that point he will just go out to kick us off the park and maybe attack us a bit more. He will employ every dirty tactic known and if it comes to this I can see a real battle with sendings off (including from the touchline) - he is such a bad loser and he wont be able to handle it if we have already won it.....it will turn nasty

Champions League qualification wrapped up.

If we both win our next games PEG only has to stop us winning the derby game , so he will park the biggest red bus you have ever seen on April 7th , in an attempt to save face and a drawn derby game will mean we have to go to Wembley to win the title.

Am I a bit thick?
I keep seeing / hearing statements that we only need to win TWO more games to clinch the title.
To my mind mathematically we need THREE from the remaining 8 games - Rags have 65 and could get 89 IF they win their remaining games (8 x 3)
We have 81 points and need to equal or better their maximum of 89 - so (3 x 3) gives us 90 points
However IF we beat Everton and then the rags then it will be all over as we'll have 87 on that day and they can only get 86 till the end of the season

It is over 50 years since I passed GCE Maths so I could be wrong or missing something!!!!!!

If 1 of the 3 is v United then it's 2

It's two more wins if one of them is against united.

We take points off United so they can only get 86

 

[Vienna_70]

Nine.

Six if we beat the rags.

We need 3 more wins but if one of them is the rags we only need 2

Good point. Ever since they started awarding 20 bonus points for stupid haircuts things have been bleak for City.

His hair will fall out if he keeps on dying it each week , a barbers dream this bloke is come to think of it I can see signs that it already is.

I think Swansea will get a point and will put something on it.

The league was probably won last night. United won’t get to 81 points.

 

[bugsyblue]

I reckon we need 6 points.

If (when?) we beat the vermin, not only is that three points for us, it's three points less available for the rags. The perfect example of a "six pointer".
