How many points will we need to win the league this season?

One more than Liverpool

One more than Liverpool

Don't fancy winning it on GD again then?

What a load of bollocks, Dippers have equally tough games as us.

The next 3 games for them are against sides that can do them.
Arse & BHA away are not easy either.

Agree. I’ve looked at both of our fixtures. They have the harder set of fixtures , it’s going to be congested and they have to realistically beat us at our place. At this stage of the season you can’t not be happy with our predicament. Keep calm, trust Pep and trust the players . 1 game at a time

If we’re going to win it please let‘s wrap it up before we face Gerrard.

hopefully it a timely reminder that this league isn't done just yet, a small reality check.
We need to dust ourselves down, put another sequence of wins together, and end any notion of a Liverpool comeback when we play them at home.

I’ve had a nasty feeling about villa game since he was announced as their manager let’s hope it’s wrapped up and doesn’t all come down to that game

Liverpool I think have wolves last day, I would rather play villa than wolves for the title, i personally think it will be over by then and jack can take the Premier league trophy over to the away end to show his old friends:)

If you were told before the start of the season that we would need to beat Villa (with Gerrard as their manager) at home to win the league, wouldn't you have accepted it?

The chance to beat Villa at home is about the same as to beat Liverpool to the title from our current position: 80-90 %. It's an illusion that it's worse.

Today’s draw keeps it interesting but I’m not so sure pool will get 6 points from their next 2 games.....we’ll see.

They don’t particularly need to get 6 points from their next 2 games. They just need to beat us in April and win one more game than we do outside that in their other 16 games.

If that one more game is a draw for us, it won't be enough for them to beat us. If they drop points in (one of) the next 2 games, they'll be in a worse position than they were before our game with Southampton: say, 92% City to 8% Liverpool. But if they manage to win 6-7 games in a row and we drop points again, then it will be something like 60% City vs 40% Liverpool.
