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

[lee one pen]

From looking at the poll I think some people have ended up voting on how many points we'll get ....the selection is essentially how many points will second get.








Runs away before I get grief for chicken counting.

I made that mistake and put 90
80 is probably more realistic pal.

7 people thought 70-75 pts would be enough. Optimistic souls!

I put 76-80, but I'm starting to think it'll be lower, Leicester have a thin squad, the rags are stuttering badly and Chelsea are coming from very far back. Even 70-75 might be overstating it given the amount of head to head matches remaining between the chasing pack.

I hope you're right pal.
70/75 means we could afford to lose 8 or 9 games from here on in.

Honestly I can't see us losing it from here. Even if we start dropping points i don't think anyone behind is good enough to put a run together bar maybe chelsea and they've too much ground to make up.

I agree. United and Leicester have averaged 1.96 points per game over the whole season so far. That equates to 74.48 points at the end of the season, so call it 75. And there's little sign from their more recent form that they're turning it around. United have got 1.9 points per game in their last 10 matches. Leicester are a bit better, 2.1 per game in the last 10, but even if they carry that through the end of the season they end up with 76.3.

Didnt get any protection from the referee tbf, Bright had already broken his nose with the previous elbow when he charged in

Agree that the ref didn’t protect him but he took the bait big-time and the rest is history.

Even if 7 or 8 more wins should turn out to be enough, i doubt Pep will be in any way affectes, and would most likely still look to win them all and aim to get as many points as we possibly can. Didn't take the foot off the gas on our centurions season, and most likely won't this year. Or any year.

So one game at a time, keep winning what we can one by one, and see how it plays out by the end of the season.

One game at a time sweet jesus. Was that Lena Martel ?

Had a bit of a discussion with Bright about this game on Twitter a few years back, he claimed Nixon also broke his nose
