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

[worsleyweb]

It’s getting close!!!

 

[BerkshireBlue]

83 is right as, however unlikely, United could win on goal difference at 82

Teahbif they won 5-0 every game. Just not going to happen. To be honest I don't even think they'll get to 77

Yeah if we beat Palace then I don’t want Liverpool beating United.

Don't care as long as we win it. In fact it would hurt them more if they thought they had thrown their chance away.

We will win it, it’s done. Just want to enjoy watching the players celebrate.

Get in! Lovely to get this wrong !!!!

Oh, Johhny. Hopefully you're letting go of that 'typical City' mindset. Took me a while as well mate. :-)

I'm getting really greedy and I'm not a nice person for it.
After winning the Carabao cup and one hand on the league, I'm even more peed off with the team and performance against Chelsea last weekend.

 

[Stoned Rose]

It's 5 points really due to the GD.

I know where you are coming from but Leicester isn't a given in the final. Would of been more tricky than the Carabao Cup final.

It's just two wins...so simple :)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Win it asap, don't give a fuck how, beat Palace, Liverpool beat united that will do

Here's an updated version of my post on p347

So currently

Using the form guide:
In our last 5 matches we've picked up 12
In Utd last 5 matches, they've picked up 13 points.

Here's the section for the pessimistic on the forum. 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, this would leave them on 82 points.

City therefore need to get to 83 points to win the league..we know 82 wins it on GD for ribbons.. 83 it is.

The fixture everyone is looking at is Palace and Liverpool. Not inconceivable that we could beat Palace and leave it possible for Liverpool to hand us the trophy. Otherwise their top 4 hopes are over!

Order of fixtures is below.

(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

The Dippers are going to win the league again....for us

 

[vmsuhail]

Safe to say this will be done now. Any chance of points deduction for the Big 6 ?

 

[cleavers]

5 draws please Pep ;-)

I honestly don't think so, and even if so it'd be from next season, I think.

 

[balotellishaircut]

What a day, City win a cup, Lancs beat Kent and Salford red socks draw, and the sun is shining, you can’t ask for better than that. :)

How do you explain Jamie Rednapp to an 8 year old.

my lad asked who he was and I said. Ex Liverpool player...not very good. Is that fair, have I missed something?

Edit: oops wrong thread.

I’d happily take a 10 point deduction,we could still win it comfortably and the Rags would drop out of the top 4

Too right mate, I’m just cracking open my 3rd beer in the garden now, now let’s smash PSG, cheers
