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

[Blue Elvis]

I now think it will take 84 points to lift the title and it will go to the last day again. I can see us dropping a further 8 points as we chase the Cups and ManUre winning all their remaining games.

The media will be all over how Olly is a genius clawing back our lead and we will win it again at the death ( causing both sets of supporters to have heart attacks) !

The actual quote was "keep getting beat by teams doing the same thing to us"
ie turning over possession and playing in behind our high line. The rags and spuds have done us plenty of times like this through Peps tenure as have the dippers and Leicester and some far lesser teams as well.
But hey ho, to some Pep can never be wrong no matter what.
Anyway it will still take a colossal fuck up to lose the league from here, it won't happen but we could have made it a little easier for ourselves.

And what about all the other games that we didn’t lose? Do you not think each and every one of them tried to follow this blueprint for success? They all failed. Why did they fail? Because it isn’t an issue for City.

Do people really believe that this City team with Kev, Foden, Dias, Gundogan etc and with the greatest manager we have seen in the PL are going to throw an eight point advantage to Noddy and his clowns

Not a fucking chance

We had 14 point advantage with it potentially dropping down to 8. Nothing is certain.

It’s that shithouse performance in the derby that gave those cunts some belief.

Pep is amazing but his one fault for me is his that doesn’t seem to get how important it is to us not to lose any game to those scabby fucking vermin. So many times we seem to underperform against them, yet no matter what the league positions, upcoming games or anything else we have to beat those scum.

When did united last lose a game

I dont normally accuse anyone of this but.....
Are you a fucking Rag?
If you are fuck off. If you aren't stop posting shite. I don't care about the rags. They can win every game remaining and it still won't be enough.

We've lost 4 in 32 games this season and some posters think we're gonna lose 3 of our last 6 (or 4 in our last 7 including leeds)

Liverpool hadn't lost 60+ games at home and then lost 6 in a row. Things change, past form does not guarantee success.

It's possible that we lose the title, but it is not likely. We are in an excellent position.

I realise that , not sure if Kaz does or she simply got her German teams mixed up

Think Lewandowski has already ruled himself out of the 2nd leg to ?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

This thread surely has to go into the classics?
At the end of the season when we've won the league I'm gonna read every single page with a packet of ginger nuts and a brew.

Playing for four trophies

Pep is right to prioritise CL this week

The league is not certain until won but fuck me cant see us throwing this

The Rags are playing Thursday night for a reason

Keep the faith

Quick question:
Please name the football side that has been flawless and had no “Achilles heel”?

I await your answer with great interest.

You have to remember you're talking to someone who wanted Pep (and Txiki) fired only a few months ago and said Rodri, Mahrez, Gubdogan, Zinchenko and Bernardo needed replacing.

And in 2017 he claimed Pep was out of his depth at City and had "no redeeming features".
