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

[Francis Crawford]

i think they will suspend beting but after the derby, 9 points is doable (should the rags win) with 10 games left providing both clubs win midweek, but 15 points isnt recoverable, hope the maths are correct

It’s done

How hilarious and piss boiling would it be if we burst out another 95+ point season? This of all seasons, would be fucking priceless.

pointsCurrently:
United on 50 points. Wining every remaining game (12) would see them gain 36 points and an 86 point finish.
City on 62 points. Would need only 24 points. Basically 8 wins from 12.

But if say we beat Wolves, they beat Palace. Derby outcome would mean:

City win:
United 53pts with 10 remaining can only reach 83 if they win them all
City would be on 68 points. needing 15 points or 5 wins from 10 to win league.

United win:
United 56 points, with winning every remaining game reaching 86
City with 65 points, need 21 points or 7 wins from 10 to win the league

Draw:
United 51 - needing to win every game to finish on 81
CIty 66points, needing 15 points or 5 wins from 10 to win league.

So basically next two matches could really wrap this up nicely. Most points we can reach now is 98 points. I think anything above 90 would be remarkable.

If we beat the rags, it’s over. No way are they clawing back 15 points over 11 games.

A draw would have the rags on 54 if they beat palace, we'd need 6 wins.

I remember 2 seasons of combing through every fixture and permutation to try to see how we could pip spurs to 4th as well.

Look at it another way, the rags will be lucky to get 75 points, if we win against Wolves we would only need to draw our last 10 games of the season to get to the same total.

We will win the title without knowing it because it will still be mathematically possible to be caught.

spurs have never bothered me mate,we did the one time dirty on them with johny mac in the 3-4 and that seemed to pacify me for years ;-)
