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

[BerkshireBlue]

I've been counting down fron 12 wins to go to 5 games to go yesterday. I think I'll have to revise that down to 4 now. Probably win it at leicester if all goes well

 

[Vienna_70]

2 more wins and it’s time to concentrate on the CL for me..

What a performance from the boys to achieve this before April, totally obliterated all those before us, sensational

The caveat to this is the last time we played the rags in this position, they performed like Real Madrid circa 1960s, no mistakes this time however, expect us to put them right in their place Sunday!

Let’s fucking hope so!

last time we played them in this position Sterling and then the defence shit the bed. Time, like Anfield, to put those ghosts to bed and prove we have a different mentality in the squad now.

 

[Vienna_70]

Five draws, three wins and a defeat - to Sheffield Blades - since they went top. 14 points out of a possible 27.

No wonder the rent boy said he wasn’t going to allow us to run away with the title.

If you want to be exact, 6 wins and 1 draw from the next 11 is a mathematical win, possibly no draw needed if we win on GD.

Being realistic, there is no way United win 11 in a row, when they at best pulled off like 4 wins in a row this season. So we will win it with less than 6 wins (4 or 5 will clinch it), but even more interesting...

If we win the next 3 games (including United), that last game against Fulham is Mar 13 and and United lose the next 3 (one against us), then after 30 games we have 74 pts, United with 51 pts, our lead is 24 pts with 24 pts to play for.

Almost giving us the mathematical league win by March 13 (a record maybe?), Fulham is our last league game in March. But because of GD, would have to draw Leicester to make it mathematical.

Mentality isn’t in question, that day, although gutting, was destined, this time we are free to express ourself and that is when we’re at our most dangerous..

can see 3/4 Sunday, wound love 6 (:

 

[MCFC1993]

6 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses.

Even less if we beat United and Leicester.

 

[cleavers]

In context, for united to get to 80 points they need 29 from a possible 33, we need 15 from 33.

No they didn't! They were absolute dogshite for 70-75 minutes of that game!

 

[Impeccable One]

Now only need 7 wins from 11 games.
C`mon you Blues !!

Beat United and we only need 4 wins and a draw. Do Southampton & Fulham, and during that time United drop any points and we can close it out against Leicester ON THE 3/4 APRIL !

They really didn't, we should have been 5-0 up at half time, and still should have scored more than once in the second half. It was something of a freak result that.

 

[TheRubberRing]

22 Point lead come the end of the season

it was only destined because Sterling blazed a double hat-trick over the bar within the space of about 10 minutes. The rags had a little pep talk and then Atkinson took over, we shit the bed because the Dippers had roughed us up the midweek prior and we were a bit soft. Let's see if we still are.

February into March was going to be the month that decided if City were going to be PL champions or not. City are 1 match away from being PL champions.

Burnley. won.
Liverpool. Won.
Spurs.won.
Everton. Won.
Arsenal. Won.
West Ham. Won.
Wolves. Won.
United?

Semantics, they spoiled the day and despite the gulf in class, reversed a set in stone outcome!

City are like an Exocet missile. Lock on to the PL title target and destroy all the other challengers.

Yes but you`re basing yours on possibilities where as mine are based on a worse case scenario that these bastards beat us. ;)

No more shifting the goalposts. "Win the next two and it's done", "Just beat X and it's done" - It's done. If we lose to the rags, it's still done. Pep could decide to become player manager and it would still be done.
