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

[Berts Neck]

Without City maybe 75 points..if we win all our remaining matches, we can hit 98 points..just shows how good the Centurions were and how bad the current crop is compared to us. Championes for sure.

The other teams simply aren’t good enough. Leicester got battered of arsenal yesterday without their best players and United didn’t look like a team who wanted the league they looked happy to take a draw and clean sheet yesterday.

1 week is a long time in football. Nothing is done yet. We are looking good but 1 game at a time and just see what happens.

Utd led by 8 points towards the end of the 2011/12 (albeit I think we had a game in hand) and dropped points against Wigan, Everton and us.

It’s done

Let this sink in.

United's fixtures.

Playing Devils Advocate. I've highlighted the matches in bold United should win.

That doesn't mean the matches I haven't highlighted in bold they shouldn't win or at least draw.

Obviously it never works out as predicted, and I expect United to win more games, but I have United down for at least another 6 PL wins and 18 points.

Palace A.
City A.
Milan H.
West Ham H.
Milan A.
Leicester A.(FA Cup)
Brighton H.
Spurs. A.
Burnley H.
Leeds. A.
Liverpool H.
Villa. A.
Leicester H.
Fulahm H.(too late)
Wolves. A.(too late)

So there‘s a good chance they could become the weakest ever Premier League runners up.
Its good to share the records around lol

If I mortgage my house and sling it all on the Blues I could win Just over a thousand pounds.

What is the point?

Would make the rest of the season interesting for you.

It's not impossible, especially if the clubs below them keep dropping points and they stay in the Europa. 70 points the record

Show's how they shit themselves then, we certainly had games in hand in the run in at one point.

Are you sure you’re not confusing it with two years later?

We had about three games in hand over Littlewoods, IIRC.

 

[Vienna_70]

Maloney, Jelavic, Fellaini, Pienaar, Jelavic, Kompany.

That order :)

Touré, Touré, Zabaleta, Džeko, Agüeroooooooooo!

I keep seeing people mentioning us being 8 points behind the Rags in 2012 but everybody is forgetting that we were the best team in the league that season by some distance, we just had a blip that we thankfully recovered from just in time.

The Rags and Leicester are getting nowhere near their maximum points totals.

Plus they had Young diving all over the fucking show.

I think they may have had the same conversation.

That’s up there, along with the Ade-Arses, rags at SoL and Littlewoods at Palace as one of my favourite GIFs.
