How many points to win the league?

[Sir peace frog]

98 points wins it, one game at a time you giddy kippers

I have been saying for a while that i think the team who comes first will need 94 points, i see no reason to change this,

I think we might win the league at Old Trafford.


It would need Liverpool to drop 6 points against Burnley, Fulham, Tottenham, Southampton, Chelsea & Cardiff.

While we would have to beat Watford, Fulham, Cardiff, Palace and Spurs.

Unlikely if we beat Swansea in the Cup, as this will mean the Cardiff game is rearranged until after the game at Old Trafford? Liverpool would then have to drop 9 points in 6 games wouldn't they?

Agree but we may need to have better goal difference in case Liverpool get 94.

i think theyd have to fit it in before if we advance in the CL because otherwise they'll run out of space before the final day of the season.

30/3 - Fulham
3/4 - Cardiff?
6/4 - FA Cup Semi
9/4 - CL 1/4
14/4 - Palace
16/4 - CL 1/4
20/4 - Spurs
24/4 - United
28/4 - Burnley
30/4 - CL semi
4/5 - Leicester
8/5 - CL Semi
12/5 - Brighton.


The biggest gap is 7 days between Fulham and the FA cup semi.

I think if we win our next 5 (Watford, Fulham, Cardiff, Palace & Spurs) we win the league, this is how I see it anyway.

It's all there for the taking. Even Fulham looked decent yesterday, however.

Make it a four point gap on Saturday night and done our job.

Burnley and Palace away would be my biggest worry for dropping points.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Don’t know why everyone is shitting themselves over Palace Away. United have just spanked them with their reserves.

 

[St.Pauli support]

The trend is your friend.
I think dippers will have more matches they can't win than us.
Dippers need a full turnaround, need Salah back to scoring, need the luck that has gone,
need a creative mid they don't have.


Our problem could only be the potential fixture list.
But now is the time the squad is made for.
Rotation and a strong bench should finally pay off.

I'll tell you what though, Liverpool do have a late chance to wipe out the goal difference with those games at Cardiff and home to Huddersfield?

Not only do we need to keep winning, a couple of big hitting wins at home against Watford and Cardiff will help us no end.
