How many points to win the league?

[paulsimpson]

Yep. Got to take it one game at a time.

Agreed

For me 9 wins will be enough. There’s no way the rags even with Dirty Sanchez will win 13 out of 15 games which is what theyll need to do to get to around 89 pts

They'll need 90 if we hit 89 with superior goal difference.

Back to back wins against Newcastle and West Brom at home for us and united to drop points in their next two games away at Burnley and Spurs should go a long way.

This - but likewise if they get 6 and we get 3 it will get twitchy.

If City lose 6 matches and Utd win 6 matches, it'll go a long way to wiping that difference out.

Think the team will lose a couple more before the season ends. Not sure if the rest have the capability to make up the difference though. I would like to see us be utterly ruthless in the next 4-6 games and demoralise the chasing pack.

Hmmmmm. Ok.

If City lose 6 matches

There's 15 games left.

A year ago last weekend, we lost 4-0 at Everton, since then we've lost 2 league games, away at Chelsea, and away at Liverpool, that's in 40 league games, so what makes you think we are going to lose 6 in the next 15 ?



{edit}
In 18 other games, we've lost three times, away at Monaco, against Arsenal in the FAC at wembley, and against Shaktar in a dead rubber, so in a year we've lost 5 from 58 games.

Oh, I quite agree that losing six would be pretty remarkable from here.
I was referencing the comment of "if" Utd catch us, that goal difference will be a half-point bonus. Our GD is currently +18, but 6 defeats/wins would account for a minimum of +12 swing.
Short version: goal difference is not likely to be relevant.
