How many points to win the league?

[Mr Partridge]

I'll always be like that. Only when we scored the 3rd I allowed myself to smile and relax.

They had a corner on the 83rd min (It was 2-0) and Ederson caught it. I cheered like we had scored!
If that went in, it would have been 2-1 with 10 minutes of them on top, lumping high balls into the box.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, following City, its embedded in me. I always expect the worst.
Even now, where we are one of the best teams in the world I can’t shake it off.

This.

I remember the 6-1, absolutely brilliant to look back at but I sure as hell didn't enjoy it while I was watching it. As soon as we scored I spent the rest of the game counting down the seconds. When Fletcher scored in the last 10 minutes I proper shit it. It wasnt until maybe Silva's goal that it dawned on me we were actually tearing the fuckers apart. Only then did I relax.

One of the best games in our history and I enjoyed about two minutes of it.

Haha the same as me mate!
When he scored to make it 1-3 i just clock watched shitting myself.
Wish i was different. Unless we are 3 up and its the 87th min im nervous.

I said 85 would win it a while back and I'm sticking with that, with the added caveat of "comfortably".

Our next 4 games:

Burnely A
Leicester H
Chelsea H
Arsenal A

All quite hard games.... I'd take 2 wins and a 2 draws out of them.

get it won. attack the other cups. simples.

You'd think so but Pep would say one of his biggest mistakes was how he managed Bayern in the cups and champions league when he won the league early, so if it happens it's probably a harder balancing act than we think.

We're going for the Champions League which contains the like of Barca, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and you're crapping it over a trip to Burnley!!

84, everyone else seem to be dropping points at regular intervals.

Clinching it before the derby or on the day. Either way it'll be one of the best days ever.

 

[dublin-blue]

I would say it won't be won till after the derby or the spurs game,
Everton and arsenal will be banana skins, we will get robbed against the chavs but luckily we don't have to play spuds till after the rags so we could have it wrapped up by then.
with the chavs on shit tier form United will turn over everyone who they play except liverpool depending on how they turn up. If they get the same liverpool that we got they will get minced.

If worst came to worst and it goes down to the wire I can see them dropping points at arsenal while we have an easy run in.

My prediction: we will wrap the league by 8 points against Swansea

A lot of people talking about a guard of honour aginst Utd. For me it would be much better if we need a win to clinch the title.

Kick off and dominate them for 90 minutes. Watch them squirm as we destroy them and win the title with games to spare.

Then lock them in and play glory glory Man city and championes for at least an hour..

haha I am bitter I know.

Obviously a very large part of me is happy just to win the league, but a growing part of me thinks, with the manager and the squad we have, the football we've played and the points we've already won, to not break the premier league points record would be a travesty. It's the main reason the injuries have been so tilting. Not because I think it hampers our chances in the other cups, but that the cumulative strain on the squad could lead us to win the league in a whimper, rather than the nuclear explosion burning ourselves into the history books that the team deserves. They should be spoken of higher than the Invincibles, Mou's Chelsea or any of the rag sides. They've made more opponents look bang average than any ever have and we should get the records to prove it.
