Surely it’s 7 points

 

[Gazza]

Leicester on the brink.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Surely it’s 7 points

8 to be sure, but united won't catch us on goal difference.

Here's an updated version of my post on p347

Using the form guide:
In our last 5 matches we've picked up 12
In Utd last 5 matches, they've picked up 15 points.

In the whole of the season our worst run of form was 8 points over 5 games which is exactly the number of games remaining. We'd end up on 85 if that happened again.
United's best run over the season was 15 points over 5 games . 84 points. I think with them having Liverpool Villa (who'll have Grealish back) and Leicester, that's an impossible ask with Roma away in there too.

Order of fixtures is below.

25-04-21 LeedsvsManchester United
(We have Carabao 25th April)

(We have PSG 28th April)
(United have Roma 29th)

01-05-21 Crystal PalacevsManchester City
02-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLiverpool (just been moved to Sunday!)

(We have PSG Tuesday 4th May)
(United have Roma away 6th May)

08-05-21 Manchester CityvsChelsea
09-05-21 Aston VillavsManchester United (just been moved to Sunday!)

11-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLeicester
12-05-21 Newcastle UnitedvsManchester City

15-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsFulham
15-05-21 BrightonvsManchester City

23-05-21 Wolverhampton WanderersvsManchester United
23-05-21 Manchester CityvsEverton

Matters not one jot. You can speculate, postulate s all you want, we need to win 3 more games

 

[super_city_si]

That was the back breaker. Monumental
Win. Rags will be deflated.

 

[Gray]

Surely it’s 7 points

It most certainly is.

 

[goalmole]

Surely it’s 7 points

With our goal difference, yes.

7pts,not 9 pts.

 

[MCFC1993]

7 points, we're 16 goals clear.

 

[rowarta]

RAGs will get draws in next two games against Leeds and L'pool

 

[MAG]

RAGs will get draws in next two games against Leeds and L'pool

Or lose at least one of them

 

[goalmole]

Everyone feeling more relaxed now??

Needed that.
The depression of the ESL fiasco has miraculously lifted.

 

[pudge]

Again, with Palace next in the league if we win that (which we should) we'll be at worst 8 points clear with 12 to play for.

United have Leeds and Liverpool in that time. I think at least one draw in those two games isn't far fetched, despite their bastard habit of winning while shite.

The Leeds game was a shitter but that was a big win tonight

 

[worsleyweb]

If I was a betting man I stick with they will draw 1. So we may just need 2 wins from 5 games. Just want this won.

Normally you would expect utd to drop some points in one of those games but Liverpool have been poor and Leeds are just unpredictable....utd's football is boring, simple but also effective and its winning games at present unfortunately.

We just need to focus on us - win the games we need and we will be fine......we cannot expect anyone to do us any favours (as Pep always says)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Massive 3 points.
