How many points to win the league?

[xgorton]

Arsenal game will be rearranged now too so that means a game later in the season unless they can schedule for shortly after.

Probably the Wednesday after the final.

This guard of honour thing would never happen. The FA and GMP would shit themselves over potential crowd trouble. Not arsed as long as we win it.

I don’t give a fuck if the army have to be called in to patrol the streets and a no fly zone established around the Ethihad. We will get our guard of honour.

For any of you that (don't) do reddit, this is a nice way to lay things out:

V useful that, thnx.
Would be good if united dropped some points soon and we could win all our games up to and including Everton (probably 7 as Arsenal no doubt moved to a lot later), as we could then concentrate on the champions league 1/4 finals on 3/4 and 10/11 April having already basically wrapped up the league. Even maybe put the B team out against united in between those 2 games.

Pep said, what, 10 matches to mathematically win the title? I still think we drop at least two if we are playing in all tournaments. Any defensive additions would be spot on for those cup matches late in the season.

 

[cleavers]

Swansea v Bin Dippers surely taught us something?

Yeah it taught us that the scouse red will always raise their game against little City, but then regularly f**k up against someone they should put more effort in.

 

[Impeccable One]

Unless both United & Chelsea drop 8-10 points between now and the derby, there’s just not enough games for us to win to secure the title before or at the derby.

Laporte.

so no playoff for 4th place ?

Correct

If we beat West Brom and united lose to spurs away then all we have to do is match United’s results (and Chelsea’s) through February and March and we can win the league in the derby.

If United has to give us a guard of honour in April, it would rival Sergio's goal against QPR as the great Etihad moment. So want it to happen.

I don't care, I just want it done.

Both results highly plausible. I've pretty much been thinking that in that scenario it's more or less a done deal. For us to then fuck it up, there'd have to be a drop off in our form the likes of which have never been seen in the English league.

I'd prefer to win it against them than have this guard if honour stuff.

A nice 5-0 dicking while we sing championees would be lovely.

I don’t know, a guard of honour to go along with a 5-0 thrashing that’s drops them into 5th place would be a perfect day ;)

Yeah fair point, I could just about live with that. ;)

Agreed. If it’s warranted it has to happen.

How's your grit?

I have my fair share :-)

Good man ;) That was a funny thread.

Sorry if it has been said before but does anyone know (If we win the prem) when the trophy gets awarded and when it would be presented to the fans.
