No I have a bad feeling we may draw them again if they stay in, so I'm cheering on Napoli and Barcelona, I also want spuds out, rags are shite not bothered by them.I hope Liverpool stays in the CL, need the CL distraction for them. 90 might be the number
Back in the 70’s/80’s I was happy for any (but 1) English clubs to progress well in any of the European cups.
In the 90’s this massively waned as the G14 cartel, having sewn up a closed shop for the money in their national leagues, turned to sewing up the money in the euro cups, with the hideously misnamed Champions league, allowing the divi’ing up among the cozy cartel, for more than 1 round of a cup.
Since the 00’s and our return to the European scene, coupled with the G14’s previous cartel actions, I’m of the opinion that as long as we qualify for the misnamed Champions league, then during the competition itself, all the G14 clubs can go *%&£ themselves and lose ASAP.
The added benefit being us getting the lions share of the National money pot part of the champions league money, (ie the English part of the G14), further enhanced by the (ludicrous) uplift based on recent previous performance in the CL.
As mentioned so many times, the G14 will do nothing for anyone but themselves - Chelsea, us and PSG, (and hopefully more like Wolves, Bournemouth etc), can continue to be creative within the increasingly intricate, convoluted rules being added, in an attempt to shore up the old G14 nepotistic hegemony.
...and if those rules (national or UEFA) actually cock up the ability of any G14 club to climb back to their cartel perch (United, AC Milan etc) then haaaaaaahaha.

24 games left.
20 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats. Another 62 points.
Double centurions.
More than possible.

I think we're probably going to need somewhere around 95 points to win it which means 15 wins and 2 losses or 14 wins and 3 draws.

Still think 90 will do it, very rare for a team to keep up the kind of pace both ourselves and the dippers have through both sides of Christmas.

I would normally agree, but see it marginally higher with the winner coming in between 93-96.
Meaning we can probably probably afford to drop another 6 or seven points, couple more defeats, perhaps.

3 sides are literally on fire. Dropping very few points.I would normally agree, but see it marginally higher with the winner coming in between 93-96.

95+ to win the league - with 2nd/3rd coming in with record points totals for not finishing 1st/2nd.

Think the winner will get 93-96, but I don't think second place will get more than 90 think one of us hopefully them will drop off to high eighties.I would normally agree, but see it marginally higher with the winner coming in between 93-96.

If we win the league I think the winner will need around 94/95. If they win the league they may only need 91/92. I don't know if that makes any sense, but what I'm basically saying is I think they will get 94+ and it will be down to us whether we can better that or not.
