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

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Pep hasn't beaten Ole at the Etihad so not sure where that confidence comes from.

Are we to conclude from that that Ole's a genius and can outsmart Pep at will? It's an anomaly, nothing more.

That's not saying that we will definitely beat them next week but I don't think previous results have any bearing on it.

Let's not count our chickens just yet. If Newcastle win all their games 5-0 (which is very possible with Steve Bruce's free flowing brand of football) and we lose all of ours, they can still catch us on goal difference.

Lol

It's not an anomaly, it's them setting up to play anti-Pep every time they play us and it working.

Hopefully Dias and the Cancelo adjustment protect us this time, however our continued profligate finishing will mean we make it a difficult game regardless.

Only 2 games,a league cup and a League game no problem.

Given that one of our closest rivals just lost 3-1 at home to a very average Arsenal, and look to have lost a key player for the rest of the season (I take no pleasure in it but it's a fact), it looks like a two horse race *cough*

It would be CRIMINAL if we allow them lot to overtake us, so come on Chelsea - we don't need assistance, but it's always nice to see them lose

It’s never over until it’s over

It's over.

I’m not getting carried away or cocky but why is everyone saying it’s a two horse race ? There’s no race at all no horses either .. Finito !
One is a red donkey and the other one is rags.

If the Rags lose today after Leicester losing earlier I think I will revise the points required to win the league to 78.

The season is done, there is no coming back from this for either of them.

 

[RegMuffin]

Changed my vote to fewer than 75. Can't see United reaching 75 and Leicester look bang average earlier. They have to win 9 from 12 to get there. Not a chance.

Five wins and we're done Blues.

Some one said earlier on another thread could we wrap up the league before the efl Cup final .... I would love that
