Title Race 2020/21

I think the thing that is different to last season, is that our main rivals are continually dropping points themselves. Who would have bet that we would be top now? After we had won only three from our first eight, and were already eight points behind candlepool. This season has no game that is a given, highlighted by last nights result.

Stretch up to Rags at Home is tough given our injuries. Butbif we win all matches till Rags home, we would have won title by March first week. Taking out Pool Spurs and United would be Enough. Easier said than done given we never win at Dipperfield and Spurs have our number in recent matches. Hopefully we can now break our AndieldnJinx and beat Spurs. Would be a massive

I have the utmost belief in this version of the squad, which is playing this version of Pep's football as being one that can again write a new page in MCFC's history books.

But it will take the blessings of Health and Luck to make it so.

Agreed, we’re not doing bad for a team in transition

Get 4 points from the Liverpool and Spurs games and we are in good shape. I think it has the potential to be like the centurions season where City edge out in front and the rags crumple to pieces. It could end up in double figures as a gap.

We have done a great job of making that top 6 mini league less important by getting wins against the rest of the league.

We know the emphasis will be on others to beat us and that plays into our hands.

If we win the next 3 the title is over.

That is a pretty good indicator of who will win the PL :-)

I like it, but would prefer the table to read 4 games left, city 13 points ahead ;)

OrigamiNinja · 28 Jan 2021

Half season and end of season points totals since 17/18:

17/18
City - 55/100
Liverpool - 35/75
United - 42/81
Spurs - 34/77
Leicester - 27/47

18/19
City - 44/98
Liverpool - 51/97
United - 32/66
Spurs - 45/71
Leicester - 28/52

19/20
City - 38/81
Liverpool - 55/99
United - 28/66
Spurs - 29/59
Leicester - 39/62

I have bolded where there has been a significant (5+ points) improvement over the 2nd half of the season. It doesn't really happen. Most of the time, 1st half season form is continued through the 2nd half of the season.

20/21
City - 41
Liverpool - 34
United - 40
Spurs - 33 (18 games)
Leicester - 38

I am predicting that 85 points wins the league comfortably but as low as 80 points might do it. It also means Liverpool probably need to win 15 of their remaining 19 games to even challenge.

I think this time next week we will be 6 points clear with a game in hand
