The Title Race - 2021/22

[Alfie Budd]

What plenty of people possibly don’t realise is that it took a while for three points for a win to become standard across world football.
After it was introduced in England, virtually everywhere else stayed on two points for over a decade. It wasn’t until FIFA decided to use three for the 1994 World Cup finals that all the other big leagues (Germany, Spain, Italy etc) decided to change.

We need to go back on to a winning run as i dont see the dippers dropping off too much unfortunately so we want to at least keep the gap we have! We will NEVER hear the end of it if they beat us to the title.

Brentford (H)
Norwich (A)
Tottenham (H)
Everton(A)
Rags(H)
Palace(A)

I think we will get 17 from the 18 with a unexpected draw against Brentford causing everyone to panic and then we will go on a run.

Draw against Brentford would mean 16 points.

How is this possible Jim? Surely one draw will give us 16 not 17 :-)

First rule of creating a thread like this - double check that your numbers pan out correctly!!

18 points.

18 to open up a 12 point gap at the top with 9 to play.

The dippers home game against Leeds that was postponed on Boxing Day has now been confirmed for Wednesday 23rd February. Don’t expect them to slip up but hopefully they’ll have one eye on the following weekend’s Carabao final and not quite be at their best.
If nothing else, it’s nice for us to have a free midweek when they have to play.
