How many points to win the league?

[mancity1]

I'm confident of winning the title but when people say it's already won it makes me cringe.
I dont think we will but better sides than us have bottled things in the past.

Yes its one game at a time and no one should think we are home and dry.

We are currently in the box seat but cannot afford to be complacent.

A relentless display in the last 15 games live we have for the first 23 is what is required.

We do that and we can celebrate a great year.

I've got the Rags down to get 88 (including one against us when they park the bus at our place again), so that means 89 to win it for me. That, incidentally, is the total we got to win it under Mancini in 2011/12.

Apart from the game at ours I have a feeling Utd might win a lot of games, they’re ugly and boring but it’s effective against most teams. A lot on here saying they’ll end up in the mid 80s who do you think they will drop points to?Expect them to end up on 92 points. That leaves us to get 9 wins from 14 games to be champions

It could well be back to 15 points over United by mid of week after next. Tottenham away is a game they could lose. So if we win v WBA that is a big step on the way.

The longer you stay that far ahead as games tick down the sooner teams stop looking at us as catchable and focus on the others around them chasing 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th. That is still tight and will be the battle they all know they have to win.

So you expect them to get 39/42 available points? They will have done very well to get that. If they do then we need 27/42 - 9 wins out of 14 and win it on gd

Need Spurs to beat the bastards.

We have some tough games left yet, Arse and Spurs away, our bogey side Everton away who turn into circa 2010 Barca to play us and sign a referee for the game, the rags who are the luckiest and dirtiest team in the league with the full weight of the FA behind them, plus Chelsea to play at home.

I still think we'll win the league but we absolutely must make sure we win the games against the others as we could lose all the above games, especially with such shit refs and missing chances too often.

I don't understand that last bit and ive seen it said many times,looking behind them means they have to keep winning surely

One game at a time! And I think we’ll all be pleasantly pleased at the amount of points, and goals, we accrue over the final stretch of league games.
It’s not how many points to win the league, but at what point do we win the league!

They've never strung a run of more than 3 wins together so why would they now? I've been generous and gave them 90 points which is 7 wins and 4 draws for us to win.

who do I think they'll drop points against : Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, us and a surprise draw against one of the others

They still have the other top 5. I expect them to drop at least 5/7 points in that lot.

90 points will be enough. It always is.

The only game we could potentially lose is Spuds away , and because its at Wembley its a great leveller , we always struggle at the Goons but they are bobbins at the moment , Chavs and the Rags at home they will be more interested in avoiding a defeat , Everton away is notoriously a difficult match and BFS will have them organised . We have probably all done a Premier League Predictor game and the worst case scenario for me is 95 pts and more likely we will finish with 100pts , obviously we might suffer a surprise defeat at a club like Burnley .But we have done the hard work , 21 wins from the first 24 games will never be repeated by any other team in the Premier league , its simply unbelievable and the club deserve all the plaudits they have recieved

Liverpool and Chelsea need to step up against that lot for once and in particular Spurs who just usually roll over for them....there is 3 games were they could well drop points....and then they also have to come to our place....even a draw there and 2 dropped points for both us us probably hurts them more than it does us......hopefully

Cracking film.

Big Joe ...There's no booze, there's no broads, there's no action!

Captain Maitland.... That's another thing - don't fool around with the women. Their husbands carry guns. And don't forget, the penalty for looting is death.

Big Joe.... Loot what? There's nothing here to loot!

like who?

 

[worsleyweb]

30 more points needed. 10 wins if he rags beat us at home.

Or 24 plus beat the rags at home.

Or 9 wins if we draw with the rags and loose 4.

They dropping a few points against spurs would be very welcome.

Fair play to them they are hard to beat.

The mighty Huddersfield managed it!

Part of me very much wants to create a new thread entitled 'They Can't Catch Us Now'

As you may have surmised from the title, it would be a thread listing teams who have no mathematical chance of catching the boys in blue

Another part of me, however, is somewhat concerned that I would fall victim to merciless abuse from angry people, all convinced that if united win the title on goal difference on the final day, it will somehow be due to my thoughtless, disrespectful, jinx-inducing thread

In the circumstances, since discretion is the better part of valour, I will content myself with listing teams on this thread instead:

Swansea
West Brom
