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

[Cobwebcat]

I can't shake off this gnawing dread that if Rags win their spare game they'll be a mere 11 pts behind, and will go on some sort of run that will make the media semi-orgasmic, wile we start dropping points unexpectedly.

Never underestimate the power of PIGMOL and the VAR buffoons to weave their evil spells of the dark arts, purely to undermine us.

How can I cure this terrible anxiety, doctor?

Put £10 on United then and win £1,000. In a few weeks you will have lost £10 but City will have won the title.

11 points clear with nine games left (worse case) means you can open your champagne right now if you like.

It's actually 14 points clear with 9 games left, if it becomes 11, there will only be 8 games left ;-) It's not how many games we have left it's how many our rivals have despite their game in hand.

Who was that bloke who got a Champions tattoo before the QPR game and had a bad 30 minutes worrying how to get rid of it?

Remember that, bet his arse was going like a rabbits nose.

So if we replicated our extremely patchy form from the start of the season we'd get 12 points from the next 8, which would leave us on 83 points. United can only beat that by winning every single game.

So we'd need to replicate possibly our worst ever 8 league game run under Pep (I think we had an equal run mid 16/17 with 1 worse goal difference) AND United would have to go on a perfect winning streak in order to not win the league. The same would apply with Leicester too pretty much.


I suspect we're in a good position.

get down to the bookies then,stick a grand on them and you'l never have to do a days work again ;-)....very rare they get it wrong

Bet Fred got it deliciously wrong in 2012.

Nope. Cock is staying out. It’s fucking done. We’ve won 23 of the last 24 and are a million times better than those cunts.

You can worry if you want fella, but I’m incredibly chilled.

Plus, if you haven't got your cocks out by now, you're probably not getting it out if we beat Leicester either. It will be "just win the next one", and the next one, and the next one, until we've actually won the fucking league.

Relax you lot. Done.

There's probably a few sticking out a little.

Only Leeds fell this round of games, we'll start see a lot more go in the next couple of rounds.

On Saturday utd needed 1.7 point per game to catch City where they were, obviously they made a good start with that own goal, they had taken 1.9 points per game up till then, but now the finish line is in sight for a lot of teams European/relegation places are still to be fought over, it is the hardest time of the season to play these teams, that 1.9 points a game was easy so far.

Are people seriously still worrying about winning the league, lol
