Assuming everything remains the same, 13 points clear of United and the rest where they are now, I think I'm right in saying if we roll in to the Manchester Derby on the 7th of April and win, we've won the league, as the five remaining games will not be enough for the rags to catch us.

Though I have had a drink, so it might be talking bollocks.

I make that 14.

I wouldn't totally discount Chelsea just yet. Though I'd be slightly annoyed (to put it mildly) if they reeled us back in.

Chelsea are done, as are the rest.
There is no way on this earth we are dropping 16pts and them going on a 19 match winning streak.
They’ll finish second though ahead of Utd,but will be further behind us then they’re already are right now imo.
Utd have around 6/7 more points then they actually deserve for me right now,

Come on Burnley!

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Average points united will achieve: 84
Max points united can achieve: 99

If united drastically improve over the second half the max they would likely be on would be around 92 points.

Realistically we need about 38-40 points over the second half to take away any chance united have of winning it, personally I don't think we'll need that but pep will be making sure we don't give them a sniff

I want to win it before the Derby so we watch them squirm when they try and get out of the guard of honour :D

Here is the historic points of the premier league winners starting in 92/93: 84, 92, 89, 82, 75, 78, 79, 91, 80, 90, 83, 90, 95, 91, 89, 87, 90, 86, 80, 89, 89, 86, 87, 81, 87.

Taking the most pessimistic view of 95 points, that means 40 points required from 19 games, which equates to 13 wins and 1 draw. Do-able.

Like I said 30wins.....will do
