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

[hateutd]

A win against the rags, Will be enough.... :)

That interview with Luke Shaw just now was priceless.

The gap has done them psychologically - they’ve thrown the towel in and I think they will drop points at Palace in the week as well.

I think we can wrap it up against Leeds at home, if not before.

palace is the kind of game they will drop points,il go for a draw with that one

Initially voted 76-80. Very tempted to change to 70-75, can't see either Leicester or united getting more than 76. united at very best win 8 draw 2 lose 2. Sod it changing my vote to 70-75.

I think at this point instead of how many points remaining to win the title ... the discussion should change to by how many points ahead of the second placed team will we win the league ... what's the record? Ours from the Centurions season, right? that Liverpool couldn't break last season ... And also what is the record for earliest win by how many games left to go? I think that too is shared by our Centurions season and some old United win? And did Liverpool match that too?

can someone post these records please.

earliest title win with what no of games left.
highest points difference to second placed team.

Did the same. Thought nearer 78 and GD but now likely that 73 will do it.

Let’s face it.....City have done everyone’s head in, pundits, other managers, players. They wrote us off claiming a Pep crisis, they were then in denial, now they are reluctantly entering the acceptance phase that we are the best team in the land and all the world.

Tell me if any of those sad cunts have a bit of drive and hunger to fight and win any title ?

Shaw looked hungry

Are people still fretting about this ?

Just relax and enjoy the process, this is as easy as 2017-18 was imho, and we are a better team/squad. If only we hadn't drawn with West Brom/West Ham we might even be looking at breaking 100 points again.

United need 1 point PER game more than City from now on, leicester even more than 1, that's PER game remaining.

Nobody has ever not won from this position, not even close, I think the worst drop off was newcastle under Keegan, and that was only 10 points ahead, and with more games left.

The draw against West Brom is the reason we have gone on this amazing run. I'm very happy we dropped those two points!! :-)

They should play that tune before kick off for the rest of the season.....in honor of Pep’s moves

Arsenal and chelsea double today would be very nice

Almost!

United are just so poor against the better sides. 7 games against the usual top 6 and they have scored 1 goal! Yes they have kept clean sheets but they don’t matter when you can’t win any of them. I really hope they keep him because they will never win the league with him in charge.

All tied up for the league cup final maybe

Be good if we could, the sooner the better. All out assault on the cups and Europe as soon as the league is in the bag.

maybe the Benny Hill theme before the derby though

 

[daflanger]

Okay so the winnable games on paper should be:

Wolves
Southampton
Fulham
Leeds
Crystal Palace
Newcastle
Brighton
Aston Villa

The rest are bonus or act as buffer if we mess up in any of the games above.

Yes but we don't have history...
