25 will be plenty 8 wins and a draw.

I was talking mathematically.

I don’t count my chickens before they are hatched.

 

[worsleyweb]

10 wins 3 defeats and it’s ours. 3 out of 4.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

10 wins 3 defeats and it’s ours. 3 out of 4.

8 more will do it.

 

[bert38]

personally think 5 more wins will do it

If we lose 3 out of these 13 games, after losing 2 in 24, I'll be disappointed.

I'd love us to win them all.

leicester need 8 wins and a draw to get to that total, and united 9 wins and a draw (incl tonight), and that's assuming we collapse and lose 8 games.

7 wins puts us on 80 pts with goal difference superior leaves the others needing 81....can't see it.

That sort of talk is Cheep.

It'll be done by the 13th March

I agree, I wrote about this before, but 81 is about as good as I think Leicester or United can pull off (the highest they can go is 88, but they aren't winning 13 in a row).

MAYBE 8 wins to 83 pts just to be sure, but still requires Leicester and United to pull off an amazing run.

 

[Manx Blue]

The games of obvious importance are WHAM, Rags and Leicester. If we win those, the gap will be significant enough to win with around 5 or 6 games to spare.

The games against Chelsea and Tofees are so late in the season, the title may well be done and dusted before those games could have played significant impact.

 

[Vienna_70]

That sort of talk is Cheep.

At least we’re not putting all our eggs in one basket.

 

[bavarian blue]

We are definitely the ones to beat.

 

[Manx Blue]

It's time to scramble!

 

[Blue Llama]

80 points will do it.

if we win our next 4 home games we can still get 98. Rags only 85. Will be 9 games left and we will need 13 from 9 games. 4 wins 1 draw and 4 defeats. Rags at home is the one that makes it almost certain if we can win that.

 

[N1985]

So since January 3rd we've beaten Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, Rags and the Scouse bastards. All in less than 7 weeks.

Fuck me
