Around 85

red scouse and chelsea will be better this year, think it will need high 80s to win it. 88 maybe

I'd have said high eighties as well. Though Chelsea and the cult will push us hard next season.

I'll say 88 points wins the league.
The winner will be the one who lands Haaland (unfortunately suspect it will be Chelsea) assuming dippers don't get Mbappe. As things stand now I suspect we will drop off the pace this year and finish 3rd Behind Chelsea and Liverpool with United in fourth. Our start to the season with the tough away games could obviously work for or against, concerned if KDB does miss first half of season that damage could be done with our title challenge early. Worried about our recruitment if we don't get Haaland and think we still need to strengthen defensively ideally a top quality left back and ideally a young central midfielder. Might be a unpopular opinion but doubt we will finish with such a strong defensive record next season as the standards Stones and Dias set last season will be difficult to maintain.
I'm really praying we get Haaland!

I honestly don’t see the odd lot down the road being a threat. They have a ridiculously easy run of fixtures to start so there will no doubt be lots of media hype as they top the table early on, but by the end of January they will be fighting for Top 4 with Leicester

I'm not sure. Getting back the bestest CB in the world ever ever EVER will be a boost for them. And I can't see them having a similar run of home defeats like they had at the turn of the year.

One more than Chelsea.

I was talking about the Zebra Pants Massive in Trafford.
Van Dijk and Gomez have had really bad injuries, they will probably never be the same again

No longer a 2 horse race I think so lower points needed

I never even considered them. When I said "the cult", I was referring to (bows and scrapes) Liverpool FC.

Always feel like a win when we reach 40 ;-)
