At 16 points behind with 9 games left, they need to better our results by 1.78 points per game, which means we can only afford to go as low as 1.23 points per game. As long as we don’t turn into prime Hodgson Liverpool, they’re not catching us.
Or to frame it differently, they can reach 81 points at most. We need just another 12 points from 9 games.
Fun fact, since you made me look up the table: 6 more points and we leave City in the dust. Interestingly, they have scored the same number of goals and conceded 1 fewer than Tottenham who are 8 spots and 14 points (of 49) behind.
Fair enough I’m just saying we play West Ham on the Sunday and Forest play on the Monday on the weekend of the 13th which is probably to soon to win it but it would pause a mathematical win.
Though it I’m honest I’m thinking my birthday weekend would be nice, after that as soon as possible.
The earliest we can mathematically win it is, I believe, if Arsenal and Forest lose their next 3 and we win the derby. Arsenal’s 3rd match in that sequence would be Everton, after the derby.
Imagine if after 30 years, the only thing Everton manage to win is the league, but for us.
Considering how much they have spent on keepers and how many they have, it is amazing that all of them seem crap. Kepa still seems to be the best of them.
