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

[Manchester1894]

Here's an updated version of my post on p347

So currently

Using the form guide:
In our last 5 matches we've picked up 12
In Utd last 5 matches, they've picked up 13 points.

Here's the section for the pessimistic on the forum. In the whole of the season our worst run of form was 8 points over 5 games which is exactly the number of games remaining. We'd end up on 85 if that happened again.
United's best run over the season was 15 points over 5 games, this would leave them on 82 points.

City therefore need to get to 83 points to win the league..we know 82 wins it on GD for ribbons.. 83 it is.

The fixture everyone is looking at is Palace and Liverpool. Not inconceivable that we could beat Palace and leave it possible for Liverpool to hand us the trophy. Otherwise their top 4 hopes are over!

Order of fixtures is below.

(We have PSG 28th April)
(United have Roma 29th)

01-05-21 Crystal PalacevsManchester City
02-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLiverpool (just been moved to Sunday!)

(We have PSG Tuesday 4th May)
(United have Roma away 6th May)

08-05-21 Manchester CityvsChelsea
09-05-21 Aston VillavsManchester United (just been moved to Sunday!)

12-05-21 Newcastle UnitedvsManchester City

15-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsFulham
15-05-21 BrightonvsManchester City

Safe to say this will be done now. Any chance of points deduction for the Big 6 ?

I honestly don't think so, and even if so it'd be from next season, I think.

What a day, City win a cup, Lancs beat Kent and Salford red socks draw, and the sun is shining, you can’t ask for better than that. :)

How do you explain Jamie Rednapp to an 8 year old.

my lad asked who he was and I said. Ex Liverpool player...not very good. Is that fair, have I missed something?

Edit: oops wrong thread.

I’d happily take a 10 point deduction,we could still win it comfortably and the Rags would drop out of the top 4
