We'll win it at Leicester

Bizarre as it sounds now, I actually think if we beat them, Southampton and Fulham, that might end up being enough. We won’t know that at the time but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that no other team will get above 74 points.

What's the lowest people think we could get away with?

I think 3 wins, 1 draw, 7 losses, 75 points and we're probably still champions.

I think if we beat United and Leicester, and lost the rest, that'd still be it. Especially if United progress in the cups.

Burnley at home is their next easy game.

Fulham and Wolves won't matter. It will be over by then.

Cityitus aside, it's done.



In comparison.

Seems likely we’ll finish with 90+ points although that may be impacted by us winning the league early and focussing on the CL. The goal of getting 100 points and no other comps to focus on kept us winning in 17/18.

Their next 3 are us, West Ham and Leicester, hopefully we kick start them on a downward spiral.

Leicester is FA cup, and given their injuries will probably play a weakened team, but yeah us, West Ham, Leicester in the cup and Milan is not an easy run of games. If us and West Ham beat them then they're really up against it for the run in, and they've still got Liverpool, Leicester, Spurs and Villa to play. For what it's worth I think they will finish top four, due to the fact that everyone else is just as inconsistent, but I think it will end up being a scrap.

I think we'll claim the title at home to Leeds.
Heartbreaking that we won't be there...

If we beat united at the weekend and assuming united stay second, we could potentially win the league within 3 games which would be Leicester away if others drop enough points, if not leeds at home is most likely but it could potentially be drawn out until the villa game if united are perfect after the derby. We would of course have to win all our games and 1 draw for that to happen.

How good would it be to have the league officially done before our league Cup final? Would give us the added boost to make it a domestic double wihhin a week or so and allow us to play the kids for the entirety of May to concentrate on the FA Cup and champs league should be still remain in those competitions.

Even if we somehow aren't involved in the latter rounds of those we should send the entire first team on holiday for a month ahead of the euros, fuck the league integrity, they haven't cared about our players welfare all season so why should we care about relegtion/top 4 places.

I know instinctively but it's wild to see Liverpool down there like that. Everything else feels about right except Arsenal, who I haven't paid much attention to, but that's decent form.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I want us to not only win it, but win it by a country mile. 20 points+ Blues, rub their fucking noses in the shit.

This, I'm a greedy twat, I want the 98th point.

 

[MikeSilva]

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.

Will never forgive Sterling for the missed sitters that day.

 

[marco]

potential there for scum to lose there next 5 games, City, Millan,Millan, West Ham Leicester

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

When's the earliest we can win it? Can we win it before April or is Leicester Away the earliest?

Ha. No city player in sight

 

[KCblue]

Think we'll win it against Leeds. Then use the rest of the league matches to rotate while we prioritize the cups.

What a fucking run.

Totally agree an its not bizarre it what was expected bar our run of results clearly you have studied the rest of the schedule well and come to the same conclusion as I have.

Manure at the very best with finish on 74 points and they will finish second.

23 points from 11 games is still above their average to date 7-2-2 or 6-5-0 is a very tall order for them so if would expect they will not get to 74 points.

Leicester cannot cope without both Maddison and Barnes and even when Maddison returns they will drop many points.

Vardy is playing injured as well he has lost all form no doubt partly as a result.

I expect Liverpool and Chelsea to fight out for the remaining two spots.

 

[christened at st marks]

Nobody else will get past 70 points
