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

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

These kind of threads always make me laugh. You always get about 20% of posters saying 'its not done' and 'concentrate on the next game' and giving the points till we mathematically win the league.

We all know that, its just a bit of fun to try and estimate how many points we realistically need.

No-one is being arrogant and nothing you or I say will jinx it.

You say that, but last weekend I changed my usual shampooing routine and look what happened!

Don't...do...anything...to...rock...the

United are finishing on 78 points so we only need 3 wins and a draw from 9 games. I think we'll do it.

Given their away record which is a head scratcher, it’s the home games they have left which should cause them issues.

I wonder if it's having gotten used to the expectation of a home crowd boost, they put a little less effort in (the familiar surroundings being the trigger) and when the crowd is removed it shows?

If we’re kind to United and say they win 8 and draw 2 of their reminding games, then 3 wins and 3 draws from our games would be enough to win it on goal difference.

Basically, from any realistic assumption around their games - and they’ve struggled to consistently average 2 points per game all season - 4 more wins for us would definitely get us across the line and 3 more wins would likely do it.

So a decent win on Saturday would be very significant.

Win Saturday and it’s done for me.

If we win on Saturday and Wolves get a point or more against Liverpool then they can no longer catch us

they are our nearest rivals ,

You're right with almost all your post except not 1/100, you've kinda got that the wrong way round. In fact the odds have drifted even bigger than that now.

Mathematically we need 84 points but i think the Rags will struggle against West ham and a couple of other teams Leicester will be our nearest challengers , i would be surprised if we hadnt clinched the title with just 78-80 points.
But Pep will not relax he will still play the remainder games at 100% unlike Klippety who's players went on the piss and disrespected the whole remaining games in the competition when they were the best team in the world , LOL
