Why are Man Utd below Celtic when they have a better goal difference?

Because Celtic scored 2 away goals at Man Utd and they never scored any at Celtic Park.  When two teams are tied on the same points it comes down to how they performed against each other - so that's why Celtic have already qualified and Man Utd still need to get at least a draw against Benfica.

who is slipping? man u are top of the league,arsenal without a doubt are the best footballing side in europe(they need an out and out striker though),lyon in france are the best side in the champions league by a mile,chelsea with all there millions only turn it on now and then,most of there games are usually 1-0,2-1,not very great with there multi millions they pay out each year,plus if they draw or get beat the manager always blames the ref.

Ok , I've thought about it as asked so I'll answer now....\n\n1. No, under those criteria my team (Spurs) are not as "big" as Celtic.\n\n2. However, those criteria are essentially meaningless. All they provide is wealth to a club..but that doesn't translate to success on the pitch. If it did, Celtic would never lose a match and win the SPL every single year without fail..but they doesn't happen\n\n3. You admit the EPL is a "better league"..but in terms of what? Being more competitive? I dont think thats strictly true anymore. Just like in Scotland, the wealthiest clubs are pulling away from the rest. Thats not a good thing, however you look at it.\n\n4. If Celtic & Rangers were to join the EPL it would only be a financial decision and the rich would simply get even richer, leaving the rest nowhere. So it'll never happen because there are more of the poorer clubs who will vote against it.  Which is good.\n\n5. Man. United are probably the only club in England who can match and better Celtic's level of support..so they are a bad example to use.\n\n6. You just got stuffed by a very average Benfica side, so I think that should indicate the level of European football Celtic are actually at currently. 1967 was long,long,long time ago\n\n7. Gotta admire your confidence, but there's no way on Earth that Celtic are gonna "pump" Man. United. At best, they might sneak a 1-0 win.\n\n8. "pump" ??? Down here, that means something else.....

Celtic have i think by far the strongest and biggest squad in the league, therefore i think they should be odds on for the Scottish cup. As far as dropping points is concerned, i think we will drop a few points only when the league is mathematically over!

the head to head results is used as the first tie-breaker at the UEFA Champions' League. as both Manchester United & Glasgow Celtic are tied with 3 goals each after both meetings, Glasgow Celtic has the better head to head record coz they scored 2 of the goals at Old Trafford, Manchester on matchday 1. \n\nany goals scored at away ground is consider as double, so Glasgow Celtic is above Manchester United & they have secured a place in the knock-out stage regardless of what happened when Manchester United host SL Benfica on matchday 6 in December 2006.

Alot is due to Redknapp. Last eyar with a similar squad, their last manager had them in the relegation zone. Redknapp steered them out of there and has them 3rd now. He made good signins like Sol Campbell this offseason and their defence has been pretty steady. \n\nBut it is all due to him i think and his skill as a manager

Hearts of Midlothian, no doubt about it. They finished 2nd in Scottish Premier League last year, ahead of Glasgow Rangers. Now that they have been bought by a Lithuanian they really may be challengers for the title in one or two years.

This season it is celtic domestically but rangers in europe. Overall throughout the last 20 years it has to be rangers as they have been more successful

Hmmm, Man Utd were once beaten by Sunderland 2-1 and then Southamptom 6-3 ( i think so) some premiership seasons ago, 1997/1998 season i think.\n\nHow about that?

Right now they are not that good. Not good enough to get in any major tournaments, however they have a very young squad (with the core being Celtic players). They could become quite good in the next 5 or so years.

I guess its because player positioning is still rather static.\n\nIt also gives commentators, managers, supporters and spectators a contextual reference point for a players position - Michael Owen is a striker and so by definition (without seeing the game) you would expect him to spend most of his time in the opposing half.\n\nThe game has got slightly more complex with the introduction of newly established formations - unlike the more common 4-4-2 - and so this has given rise to the creation of new player-position descriptions (i.e. wing backs are a more attacking-minded full-back).\n\nYou can also note the use of less anachronistic terms in the modern game (like a player who players "in the hole behind the striker"), but again these all are used for player-positional reference on the pitch.

my team are having another great season! last year they won what was easily the best champions league final of all time. and this year we are 3rd in the league and today we will play the last league game of the season and if we win and Manchester utd draw or LOSE! we will finish 2nd and that will give us automatic qualification for the champions league next season...oh yes we are also in the final of the biggest domestic cup competition in the the world  "you'll never walk alone".. \n\nwhat about your team how are they doing?
