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

The derby defeat was a painful bump in the road , but we will be booking the open top bus in April

I know football is a funny game but I can only see us realistically losing against Leicester and Chelsea

Draw against Southampton and it puts a bit of pressure on us.
Win, no matter how, against Southampton and it fires us up again

If we win the games we have left against teams in the bottom half of the table then United need to win their 10 remaining games

The only game that matters now is Southampton.


Incidentally, our last winning run started with Southampton. Just saying.

Don’t underestimate teams dropping off a cliff once they get to 40 points. This season is looking like hard work for a a lot of players now with some terrible games.

they dont all need to get the points, just one team does . we need 85 points, not one less, i keep saying it, and will keep saying the maximum points we need, all this they are too shit or they aren't good enough i bollox, we aren't going to win our remaining games, i actually think we will beat Southampton and lose to Fulham, with the champs league game the following game. too many cock sure of themselves on this thread, its done ,its over,

its over when its over.
85 points needed.

I get the point you're trying to make, but you're just wrong on this one.

I can guarantee you with absolute certainty no other team is getting 84 points. This is a United side who couldn't break down a lacklustre Palace side midweek and who go beat at home by bottom of the league Sheffield United. They haven't averaged 2 points per game in years, but you think they'll suddenly do 3 points per game over their next 10 games whilst simultaneously playing in cups?

It's not going to happen. We'll win the league comfortably.

Don't worry about draws. I'm pretty confident we could draw every game between now and the end of the season and still win the league.
