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

[Airbags Optional]

I would be much more happy if we can beat Villa and Palace away. Chelsea at home is no given, The barcodes away should be ok, Brighton away is tough but winnable and Everton at home should be ok. If we were not going for 4 trophies I would be a lot more relaxed about the league.

Blood money mate, tainted.

I can't agree with that, especially as I have lumped on the Rags, £50 on Leicester, and just slightly less on West Ham and Chelsea. I tried to get some on Spurs but he refused to take my money and called me a simpleton. I was upset, upset i tell you. He wanted to know why I was wasting my money and asked if I wet the bed. These bookies are so rude.

It’s actually only 8 points if our goal difference stays above theirs!

So 5 draws and a win will do from our last six games ;-)

If we were in their position now, we wouldn’t be saying it’s all over. Not a chance would we.

Not til it’s done is it done. Hubris and karma are two sides of the same coin.

How the fuck do u work that out? Lol

rags can finish on 84pts, means we need 10pts to win it on GD

It's decades of that very glum existence that has created that mentality lol.

I remember in 2012 when the rags went 8 points clear with only 6 games to go. They were all over social media gloating and mocking us, celebrating winning the title. I answered a few of them by saying they better pray they don't blow it now as they'll never live it down. Absolutely zero chance of that was the reply. We all know what happened next

Win their game in hand and the rags are in exactly the same position. 8 points behind with 6 games to go. They are considered to have no chance, not against a highly successful squad motivated by the best manager in world football, exactly as it was for us facing Ferguson's United back then. The way it is panning out is spookily similar, that's why those of us with a nervous disposition and a bit superstitious worry.

I'm not brazen about it, and won't go calling it done or anything like that. We are on course, that is enough for me.

Honestly though, you are looking for the poetry in it if you are trying to compare the two, they really are quite different scenarios.

Lets just get a couple more wins in, by then the picture will be clearer.

Am I the only blue who this ‘betting on Utd to win money would soften the blow ?’

I would not want to win one penny if it meant they had to win a football match !

I would even rather see us relagated than have to rely on them bast*rds to see us safe by winning their game

maybe it’s just me ?

but winning money due to their success is just not right !

You'd rather City got relegated than United won a game of football?

So, in other words, you hate united more than you love City?

Ah fair enough lol

 

[Akpowell]

Ah, but will we get one more win? We've hit the wall now, haven't we?

Christ Jim don't say that, I'm shitting it as it is

If you don't fear the worst you're not a Blue.
