How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

League table since Xmas Day:

Our run there is just farcical. Discount our 1st 14 games, and we would still sit 8th in the league overall, above Spurs on GD.

If the Rags had been in our position would they have left them out?

No. That was my point

Personally I think this all a big conspiracy so that City win the Premier League whilst the country is still in full lockdown, and we can't even do a Liverpool and set fire to all the Rag statues whilst wearing balaclavas and standing on Police vans.

Isn't there now a tradition that you use fireworks to set fire to a famous local landmark if you win the Premier League. I am sure Mario will supply the fireworks, we just need a Bluemoon poll to decide the building :-)

Of course it's a choice.

Don’t for a minute think he threw it, but Pep certainly learned from his first season when he played a second string team in the League Cup away at the Swamp and we lost 1-0. He (deservedly) got a bit of stick about that as the Scum went on to win it that season. In effect, we gifted that shower of shite a trophy.
Since then he’s always played strong teams in the cups and the results speak for themselves

And you are 100% correct, it makes my blood boil how we are treated by all the media.

I think we should get to 71 points then declare, make it interesting for the rest

Top managers want to win every game. GPC , wenger, maureen (years ago) all collected FA and league cups along the way.

I know I'm being a jobsworth, but Wenger never won the League Cup.

Pep's squad rotation is going to be interesting going forward. He'll have to weigh up resting key players so they're fresh for big games against slowing down the full team's momentum. I think there's a reason we fell far short of winning all four trophies in the Centurions season, yet got a lot closer in the treble year. The constant pressure meant players performing at their highest level.
