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

[supercity88]

Four more wins and it's pretty much in the bag. Puts us on 74pts and 61pts is the most that 2nd would have if we do that. 8 games left with a 13pt gap.

We got 12pts from our first 8 games.
3 wins - Wolves, Arsenal, Shef Utd
3 draws - Leeds, West Ham, Liverpool
2 losses - Leicester, Spurs

It's not over yet!

Win the next 6 and it is won, we will have beaten lei and rags, they are averaging 2.1 points per game 75 points should do it

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

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

The table looked like this on 20th April 2014

Liverpool P35 Pts 80
Chelsea P35 Pts 75
City P33 pts 71

Because of the Gerrard slip its often forgotten that Chelsea were equally as guilty as Liverpool of throwing the league that season. They lost at home to Sunderland and drew with Norwich in their last four games and only finished 4 points behind us.

I remember leaving the rearranged Sunderland home game after scraping a 2-2 with Nasri getting a late equaliser thinking the title had long gone.

Then 5 wins and a sprinkle of Gerrard and a dollop of Palace and bingo.

I think the derby was shifted back a few weeks because of the cup, so it always felt like we had one "in hand" that we needed to win. On reflection, though, United should probably be thankful we won it the way we did that season because I think it covers what was a hell of a collapse. The Everton game in particular was absolutely bonkers, and not getting a shot on target in their game against us was pretty shameful. It wouldn't compare to City losing it from here, though - if we lost it from here it will be the worst collapse in history.

No question.

And as much as I hate getting too far ahead of myself, even I can’t see us fucking it up from here.

Pep's not going to let that happen.

We’re scoring more goals and conceding less than any other team.

Unfortunately there is a team that has scored more goals than City this season, and they play in red. I'm hoping City will put that right by Sunday.

We've scored more than any other team against 11 men.

Possibly, I'm easily confused.

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

Newcastle with 68pts is the lowest.
