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

I think i can hear Luke Shaw singing......

Champions now

Add the Aguerooooo one in it (the one before United won one) and that’s FIVE out of the last TEN for us ... the other five then split in Leicester, Liverpool and United one each and Chelsea two!

Yeah but our titles dont count as they werent earned, we just bought them. thats the Ragcafe opinion.

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

On the basis that we need 3 wins and a draw to clinch it, and assuming Utd will win all their games (they won’t) we can win the league vs Chelsea with only a draw.

Leeds H
Villa A
Palace A
Chelsea H

I think it will be more likely that we clinch it at Palace.

Hate to sound arrogant but I just can’t see us not winning Prem games at the moment

Awe bless em

If the rags lose tonight we'll need 8 points from the remaining 7 games. I think we'll win it at Palace

Pep in his interview after yesterdays game said the PL was the best competition.

 

[yeseye]

I’m surprised that 2/3 of the responders to the poll think either United will win at least 7 and draw 2 or Leicester will win all 8. That’s the only way we’ll need 81 points or more. I think whoever comes second will be lucky to get 75 tbh.

Tbf this poll started Nov 2020.

With this win at Leicester, we'd have to go on a run that would be our WORST EVER under Pep to close out the season, AND United would have to be PERFECT in order for this to go belly up now.

So you’re saying there’s a chance...

 

[bluetonium]

I think it's done, but the actuals figure will be around 72/73 points.

Because of that rival fans will say it was a poor season and we had no competition, blame us for being too ruthless rather than the rest for being poor, and completely ignoring that we've now won three of the last four titles, five of the last ten.

They'll then also say we won because of the virus, rather than despite it (suggesting we have an unfair advantage because.... we have a better squad. Yep. That's the argument they come up with usually...) and say that anything less than a quadruple is a failure.

When we win the league and hopefully the FA Cup, hoping, not taking for granted, we will have some nice symmetry for domestic honours:

7 First Tier Titles
7 Second Tier Titles
7 FA Cups

Now for the spoiler, we currently have 7 League Cup wins, I'd love to see the symmetry blasted out of the water to make it 8, no room for sentiment.

It’s funny how many City fans think United are terrible yet think they will end up with many more points than the models and the bookies predict.

Ignore the models and bookies; they'll get the number of points PiGMOL and VAR predict.

 

[christened at st marks]

74 Championes

The rags having to play Spurs and the Dippers in the next month should hopefully mean we won’t have to get 11 more points. What a month April could turn out to be fighting on four fronts.

11 points out of 21 assuming Utd don't drop any more points.
7 points to finish ahead of Leicester.

Maths.
I enjoy English.

Correct.
Maths = abbreviation of mathematics.
Math = Americans trying to be that bit smarter than everyone else!

 

[Grassland Blue]

Interesting, but I'm not sure your second example is correct. To me (born within earshot of the roar of a packed Maine Road crowd) a foul on KDB means KDB was fouled, not that he committed a foul.

That is the reason we have the word, 'by'.

 

[west didsblue]

I’m changing my vote to 70-75.
I reckon the rags will end up on 74 and we only need one more point.

Still makes me feel uneasy even though I know it’s done.
