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

[johnnytapia]

Are people seriously still worrying about winning the league, lol

Yep

No, but being practical . It is never over until it is done. And to get it done it actually has to get done. 4 wins minimum and 2 draws to be sure. After that it's done. I'm done now .

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

Can cross Arsenal off too, most they can get now is 69 after their draw vs West Ham.

With united knocked out of the cup it makes it harder if anything.

I’m pretty pessimistic but something has to go seriously wrong for that side to even match our remaining form, never mind overturn a 14pt gap.

they have a hard run in and are still in Europa with games to play in Europe should they make it to the final so they have little advantage on that score.

i think they will do well to finish on 76 points. with a 5-1-2 finish more than above their points average to date which if extrapolated would finish them securing 75 points.

Look at the last 4 games since you know what. Does anyone seriously think we aren’t going to continue what we have been doing? This team is not going to drop many more points in the next 8 games.
would like Leicester to come second though.

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.

One of the many reasons why it’s done

And Villa (max 71) their goal difference is shocking.

Anyone who thinks this group of players is going to throw it away from here is a prisoner to another era in this club‘s history.
