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

[Francis Crawford]

I think the chips were down in a number of ways. There was uncertainty over Pep's situation for a long time, big players out of form, the style of play was as sterile as we've ever seen under him and there were lingering tensions over our loss to Lyon last summer. Might be more difficult to remember given the incredible run we're on but there was so much uncertainty in those early months and I'm absolutely ecstatic that Pep decided to commit his future and go again. This is going to be special.

Now u put it that way, I agree!
I think what I am trying to say is the media in general had the knives out for us and made more out of the situation than it merited

always thought at the time it was a hesterical over reaction by the press and the reality was that we was 8 points behind with a run of very favourable fixtures coming up ,we could quite easily get right back into it ?

anyway

all’s well that ends well

remarkable effort by pep and the players !

Is there a big prize at stake for predicting right?

I thought the winner(s) are awarded honorary ITK status for 12 months ?

 

[himalayan_blues]

Thats why i said we have to win at least few games back to back. I am expecting city break the record of 18 consequetive game win. But 10 will do for me now.

Well my dream is near about to be fulfilled. 10 game win dream is already fulfilled. May it continue......

Didnt we hammer Leeds once as they were fighting united for the title late in the season?

yes 4-0

cant see the point of being able to change your vote, as the total goes down people will just change their votes, so at the end everyone will be right ?, weird.

It was a bit like the CAS poll, intended to capture our collective confidence vs pesimism. Early on, most thought we'd get shafted. The night before the verdict, if that was the first time you looked at it, you'd think BM was a heaven of optimism.

everyone will win, you can change your vote,

Jesus, at this rate, we probably only need 3 more wins.

Absolutely hate all this assumption that it’s all done and dusted etc. Plenty on here need to rein it in. It’s over when it’s fucking over . Not a day minute second before

It’s like nobody has ever learnt anything from all their experiences in football.

Its done and dusted.

We're playing for records now, and they mean a lot to Pep and the team. I can understand people wanting to protect themselves or fear jinxing it, but I can assure you that if we lose it from here fans won't be mocking us for being cocky like they did with Liverpool in 2014, it'll be because we suffered the all time great collapse and there's nothing people on forums saying take it one game at a time will be able to do about it.

Need to be careful here after that god awful performance. I could see us dropping many more points after this

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

@kaz7 Thoughts on Sterling today?

 

[brian the blue]

Suddenly it feels like we’re going to slide back into a title race. Can see us dropping plenty more points.

First loss in 29 games and you get comments like this, smfh.

 

[DMA's]

united went from 250/1 to 66/1 in one game at paddy Power (I’m aware viewing bookie odds isn’t a perfect science but it’s a good to gauge to see probability) . Make no mistake Southampton is now a very big game be interesting to see how we bounce back. 11 clear with 10 still gotta fancy us but still some work to be done

No chance we'd have to lose 50% of our remaining games

Pep needs to drop Kev & go back to the winning formula otherwise this is not over.
