No, max wins will be 12 for us, the rest will be draws, and potentially on worse side 3 lossesCity got 89 points last season consisting of 28 wins, 5 losses, 5 draws
We have 13 wins 6 draws and 1 win from 20 games.
from the remaining 18, can we get another 15 wins?
28 wins, 2 losses 8 draws = 92 points
25 wins, 10 draws 3 losses equals 85 points? @moron are you saying its a 2 horse race?No, max wins will be 12 for us, the rest will be draws, and potentially on worse side 3 losses
We are more susceptible to draws and them to losses but they are likely to win more games.I have never and will never count City out. Not as long as Guardiola is there.
I honestly think the decider will be the home game against them.
A win and the league is ours.
We have to match them.
That's why they changed it. I still remember a time when a win was worth 2 points.We are more susceptible to draws and them to losses but they are likely to win more games.
If the points awarded were 2 points for a draw and 4 points for a win we would have won more titles on the occasion we came 2nd. I still that model is worth considering, that there should be some more of a gulf between a draw and a loss
You still have a 2 point difference between a win and a draw. 4 points between win and a lossThat's why they changed it. I still remember a time when a win was worth 2 points.
Getting a point for a draw didn't feel that bad back then.
Fine, make it 5 for a winDuh!
2 for a draw and 4 for a win is effectively the same as 1 for a draw and 2 for a win, a system they got rid of years ago as it encouraged playing for the draw

We play them in the middle of this run for City:
Chelsea (H)
Bournemouth (A)
United (H)
CL second leg
Liverpool (A)
Brighton (A)
Arsenal (H)
Villa (H)
Let's hope they've been given a tough test in the games up until ours, and that we take the three points and leave them rattled going into three tough fixtures afterwards.
NoFine, make it 5 for a win
City will take the cheque book out, and address their flaws.I'd guess something between 83-86 will take the league title. Nobody is outrightly as strong as last season and the top five will finish more compressed. I'm cautious of a City's endless winning streak in the second half of the year, but it's not inevitable. After a treble last year, and playing in the World Club Cup (or whatever it's called), I'd still expect some inconsistency and fatigue. It's going to be a great watch for any neutral as well as ourselves. The majority would have settled for the top four this year, so anything is a bonus.
They play Copenhagen in the Champions League so the tie will probably be over before the second leg unfortunately.We play them in the middle of this run for City:
Chelsea (H)
Bournemouth (A)

Reminds you of your mum and your nan?Gonna say 88, for no reason other than I like the number.
Reminds you of your mum and your nan?
The right answer is 6 for a win, 2 for a draw and zero for a defeat.Duh!
2 for a draw and 4 for a win is effectively the same as 1 for a draw and 2 for a win, a system they got rid of years ago as it encouraged playing for the draw
Duh againThe right answer is 6 for a win, 2 for a draw and zero for a defeat.
Right now, we aint winning it whatever we do.25 wins, 10 draws 3 losses equals 85 points? @moron are you saying its a 2 horse race?
No as a draw is worth 2 more than a loss.Duh again
So the same as 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a win then?
Oh, wait ...
I was trying to insinuate that his mum and nan were fat.Let’s hope it’s not this:

Hang on, we have 13 wins to City's 12 (played one game less). 1 defeat (robbed by VAR at Spurs) to City's 4 defeats. So as it stands it's clear that for wins there's nothing in it however we tend to draw games City lose. Long may it continue.We are more susceptible to draws and them to losses but they are likely to win more games.
If the points awarded were 2 points for a draw and 4 points for a win we would have won more titles on the occasion we came 2nd. I still see that model is worth considering, that there should be some more of a gulf between a draw and a loss
