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

[goalmole]

We could do with making that into a chant

I agree.
Fuck off pigmol would have a nice ring to it.

We could do with making that into a chant

OGS are you listening
To the song we are singing
14 in front
You Norwegian c**t
Walking in a Pep wonderland

4 wins isnt it? No matter what those red fuckers do

Four wins and two draws will suffice.

That assumes that the Rags win all their remaining matches by a sufficient margin to overcome City's 24 goal difference advantage.

That assumes that they will win their last 10 League matches straight. That hasn't happened for a while. However they have managed to win four of their last 10 Premier League matches!

Reality check!

Given.

Brighton.
Burnley.
Fulham.
Wolves.

12 points.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they dropped points in all them games tbh.
But even if they did win all those games and by some miracle win the others as well it wouldn’t even matter as we have not dropped 11pts in the last 8 games since the first year of the takeover under Hughes when they dropped 12pts.

 

[Joe Blue]

It's in City's' Own hand's to go on win the PL.
Not relying on other results, like the chasing pack are.
Every 3 points city pick up makes it even harder for them.
As pep say's no one ever done us any favours, We have to do it ourselves!

 

[Claytop]

There’s only one team I’d be confident of winning out till the end of the season and they already have a 14 pt lead!

Brighton.

12 points.

So, Shay in net, don't know the back four.

Judging from their team selection and lack of substitutions last night I would guess that United are front loading their priorities, so that CL qualification is virtually guaranteed by mid April and they can then focus on the two cup competitions whilst rotating in the PL

This is the key point I've tried to make a few times. For us not to win the league from this position we'd have to be worse than Mancini's last season, worst than Pellegrini's last season, and worse than Pep's first season. By some distance. We'd basically have to be as bad as we were before the takeover. Look at the team back then, then look at the team now. It isn't happening.

Which is sensible, tbh. CL and a cup would be as good a season as they could have hoped for at the start.
