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

[xgorton]

I keep looking at their fixtures. They will get 20 plus points easily.

They will get 25 more pts at the most which will give them 79,we need just 4 more wins for 80.

 

[Tricky17]

Doesn’t 16 points win it if we have a superior goal difference? They can only get 84 so would need a big goal difference swing

It's not impossible if we were to drop 11 points from 9 games, which we won't.

Listen mate they will not win 10/10 no way,8 wins tops 1 draw and at least 1 defeat 25 pts no more and that's being generous.

As City win eacg game, their chances of winning the PL title disappear, and so does their belief and will to win each game and the PL title.Eventually it will be out of their hands.

3 of their "winnable" games have all won at Anfield recently,

Rags are winning no more than half of their remaining games.

The problem is........

Who haven't?

Win all of our games up until the league Cup final.
Rags draw/lose a game in this time.
Their game against Leeds gets moved to the Sunday.
Leeds beat the rags.
We beat spurs in the cup.
2 trophies in 1 day.

Am sure I saw on here someone had a league table where once a team was mathematically incapable of catching us it was highlighted in yellow ( I think it was yellow) . Would you please repost it I would love to see what it looks like now.

If my maths is correct, the lowest we can finish now is 11th.

Is this the post you're referring to?

When we are clear at the top of the league, as we quite often are these days :-), I do a excel sheet and colour the teams in that no longer can mathematically catch us. It's fun to watch the colour come up from the bottom until there is only us left = Champions.
PS We can't get relegated now.

If we don’t win it from here then we really really don’t deserve to.

We don’t even have to win them all, we just have to win one more than United do in that time.

(altogether now) We. are. staying. up. We are staying up!

True,but strange things can happen as Moss attempted to kickstart last night.

We cant provide any excuses for the fuckers to intervene.

It’s never done until it’s done. You never know what could happen.

It’s not about not having faith in the team or stupidly thinking we’ll blow our lead because we’re not good enough... There could be a mass brawl at the Fulham game and we have 8 players banned for the rest of the season... there could be a new strain of Covid that hits our team and has them out for weeks...

Anything can happen.

17 points! Then it’s done!

If we had 8 players banned it wouldn’t matter our reserves would win 80 % of games
