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

[Winchester]

Watched it at my Gran’s house on Horton Rd, two streets from Maine Rd. Never forget it, because my first name was the same as the scorer, and there aren’t that many of us around, especially in football!m

In May 1969, I was 5 1/2 yo and knew Neil’s could BE somebody!!!

My dad went with his mates and I remember he "missed " the coach coming back
And my mum going mad at him as she knew he was a pub nearer to the ground
Nice try Dad!

Actually, you’d need to bet a million on city to win a grand at current odds.

Let me just raise my daily deposit limit, one sec.

Totally agree. We are a unique breed no doubt. I normally can’t celebrate a win until the 90 min is up. Iv tried to reason with myself on more than 1 occasion to wise up but the history of the club has left character scars.

No matter how many trophies we win those scars/feelings will always be present.

Completely Mental :)

We didn’t even dare start singing about winning the league until the board went up at the end of the West Ham game in 2014, despite being 2-0 up from the 50th minute and the game petering out with about 20 to go.

Yeah I was the same that game as I still had the Fulham match a few years previous in my mind. This season’s situation is entirely different, thankfully.

Didn’t West Ham hit the post with about five minutes to go? Scared the life out of me.

Wasn't so bad we only needed a draw, I went and got another pint when Kompany scored the 2nd an Newcastle were winning at the time.

I don't remember that happening, I'd had a few though!

no need for that ( a smack )
could you imagine if it was the other way round ?
and we had to win our game in hand to still be 11 points behind

I would give up if the roles was reversed but you never know :D

Don't mind United winning games to keep us interested in going on and winning our next ones. Helps keep the momentum, does help that on a rare occasion our squad is fully fit so we can rotate for the league and CL, not that it helps Pep much with his selection.

Sorry but I want the cunts to lose every single game that they play , so not going to agree with you.

Without the help of bent referees they would be nowhere near where they currently are , so why wish for even more favours for them ?

Let them get fucked is my thoughts on the matter.

I hope they finish 5th ( won't happen now unfortunately ) and lose the final of the Europa League.

As for their wins spurring us on I don't by that for one minute.

let Leicester spur us on (LOL).

Where where?

I quite like the fact that we've won the league at St James' Park as well as Brighton's ground. It's a good tool to wind up Geordies (and Brightonians if I ever meet one). Would be nice to add Selhurst Park to that list this season. Villa park would have been even better but don't think it can happen now.

Also, if you fancy a laugh, go to page 1 of this thread and have a read. Some awful predictions.

 

[worsleyweb]

Not so sure this team can churn out 15-20 wins on the trot, in fact I'm pretty sure they won't. The question really is - points to win the league and will we get them. Mid to high 80's and really haven't got a clue. Hopefully the early season malaise has gone.

Aged well

Not quite sure what you're hoping to achieve there, to be honest. Those comments were made on the last day of november. I'm guessing that we may well have been nearer to mid table than the top back then, points wise. Could you, or anybody, on that monday, have predicted that we'd win 19 out of our next 22 PL games? Or that Liverpool would crash and burn the way they did in jan/feb? I certainly wouldn't have. Yes; looking back now, some of those predictions were on the high side. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Still think 76 points will be enough haven't changed my view for a number of months now having come down from 80 points around Christmas.
