City 98
United 88
Leicester 88
Everton 88
Chelsea 84
Villa 84
West Ham 84
Liverpool 82
Tottenham 81

 

[Vienna_70]

36 more will do it.

So 12 wins in 15 games.

We are going to get 85 points minimum, so rags/Leicester would virtually have to win every game from now, which neither are capable of. The title race is over, we’ve won it.

 

[dickie davies]

united and Leicester's points trajectory is 73 points (46÷24×38)

Ours is 88

Some going that,

Not counting my chickens yet. But I think 76pts will be enough to win it this season based on form of everyone else. Leicester are the biggest threat in my opinion but I still don't see them getting more than 75pts.

It's not over till we get the points

Well have to beat Everton first.

 

[oakiecokie]

Right lads lets get the business done at Goodison midweek.It wont be easy but what a thought it must be for the players to think it could be a 10 point gap,even though Pep doesn`t like to discuss or let his players think too far in advance.
But it doesn`t stop us as fans thinking what could be.

I doubt we're going to need that many, as I can't see the rags and Leicester - and the others - winning every game,.

If we beat Everton they need to win 4 more than us from 14 games. Possible yes, likely, not very.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

If United or Leicester could win 10 games from 14, it would be a fantastic return from either of them. This is form that neither are in, or shown to be capable of. Fuck it, let’s be extra kind and throw in a couple of draws for them as well. This unbelievable form for either of them, gets them to 78 (SEVENTY EIGHT) points. There is absolutely no way on planet earth that we don’t collect another 26 points from 15 games to top their totals.

What the other sides do is now largely irrelevant, no other side can win it now. Only City can throw it away, and I am 100% confident we won’t do that.

Well said, Dickie.

We older City supporters know all too well the pitfalls of counting your chickens before they're hatched.

 

[blueyorkie]

Ok now we know 89 points would win us the league, we just need to be relentless.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I'll keep the champagne on ice for now.

This is a very strange season, during which we're on an exceptional run, but I always remember Newcastle under Keegan.

It's not over until it's mathematically impossible for a side to catch us - that said I never expected Leicester might be our closest rival this season

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Remember when used to dream of accumulating 89 points over two seasons
