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

[manimanc]

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) !

CTID

Another one. What is this utd winning all their remaining games?
Tell you what mate, go and look at utds last 15 or so games and then post your findings.
In fact, from January 27th tell me how many games utd have won on the spin.
I'll wait.

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".

theres a few others as well if you dig deep enough.

Dont need to dig, sometimes people say things so stupid you cant forget it.

If you are going to win a quadruple you will having to sacrifice some games without your best team. That's what happened on Saturday, the large lead has given Pep this advantage. City have lost three games this season and they will not lose three of their remaining six. Also utd have some very tough games mainly with Liverpool, villa, Leeds and Leicester to come.

Were we 17 points ahead of second place at one stage? What happened?

We haven't been 17 points ahead since 2018.

We were 14 points ahead at the most. 11 points ahead is where we were a month ago and no one was panicking.

Im all seriousness lads. When did we really really f. Up in the 40 odd years?

We probably shouldn't haven't gone down in 83 or 98 so will give you that. The others were prerty much deserved.

We've been promoted every time we've had important last day games.

We've won 4 title. 3 having to win our last 6, 5 and 14 games.

Won 7 out 8 finals. Will give you Wigan.

We have won 9 semi finals out of 14. Probably the only one we were big favourites and lost was last season against Arsenal.

We don't normally fail when it's a pressure situation. We win.

Absolutely. The ‘typical City’ thing is an absolute fucking myth.

 

[manimanc]

When did united last lose a game

21st March.
Gosh that was ages ago or 4 games ago, you choose.

This team fucked it up massively against Arsenal and Lyon last season tbf, and the first leg of the Spurs CL game the previous year. But generally I agree, we do the business more often than not, the Domestic Quadruple is evidence of that. Though sometimes we do it the hard way like 93:20 and Bradford away

I mentioned the Arsenal semi final. For Lyon, Spurs, Liverpool and Monaco. Its my definition but I only counted game were we were close to winning the trophy. So at least semi final.
