How many points to win the league?

[GX Blue]

Beating Newcastle and WBA is crucial. 2 home games we are expected to win easily. 2 more games closer to the finish line.
If we don’t win them both we may have to just have a tiny glance over our shoulders. Can’t give any other team any momentum.

the only thing we know, is that 96 pints guarantees the title as of today - it will change

There goes dry January

Here is a list of our remaining games against Utds.
I cannot see this happening but lets call this set of predicted results the worst case scenario.
This will still put us miles in front.

(I do not think this will be the actual results, this is just us playing awful and them amazing)

I think that would be even more satisfying than going the season unbeaten.

Agreed, although next year we do need to stop up and retain the league unbeaten, if only to shut up any Gooner's who who would still think the Invincibles are a better side than us (1).

(1) While I think they are one of the best sides to play in the EPL, I don't think they are the best. Personally I think the Chelsea 2004-2005 side was better than them (even though they lost a mere 1 game in the PL to the previous season Arsenal's none, although overall the 2004-2005 Chelsea side the same number of losses as the 2003-2004 Arsenal side with 6 each) when you look at points and goal difference in the league as well as the fact that unlike the Arsenal side in question, they have won a domestic cup as well. Hence why domestically at least, we should be aiming to beat this side in the League and the Cups

It's quite conceivable that in the next two games we widen the gap to 15 or even 17 points

Sure is.

I'll be hoping they drop some points away at Burnley & Spurs.

We all thought the same in November when they played Watford away (when they were flying) and Arsenal away and the rags won them both comfortably
Never write these jammy fuckers off

 

[BLUEMATT23]

The 2nd half of the season was never going to be as easy as the first. Doesn't work that way.
15 left I think we will win 10 of them, throw in a couple of draws that gets us amother 32 points so finish on 94 points.
Even if we lose 3 we're comfortable.
Concentrate on us not what anyone else does.

 

[pudge]

Obviously winning the league is just that, be it on goal difference or whatever it may be, but for arguments sake how would folk take it if from 15 points clear we won it by say 3 points?
