Basel have the better head to head over CSKA but not United.

United have the better head to head over Basel.

CSKA could have the better head to head over United.

Fucks knows the different tiebreakers it will have to get into if CSKA earn the head to head over United and all three have 12 points but ultimately the most realistic outcome is best for us; United finish first.

I think it probably goes to a 3-team minileague, with the 4th placed team results ignored.

i would have thought mr piggy would know that the rags play cska at home but twice he says we have to go to moscow. if teams are on same points goal difference decides not head to head so pretty definite they will win the group anyway unless something weird happens at the swamp

Not if two teams only are level on points it doesn’t.

Cant believe that maureen has come out last night and bemoaned that Basel played with 5 defenders....how ironic considering that is what he has employed majority of the season.......saw the highlights last night and it was mostly down to the reserve Care Bear fellaini as to why they nearly scored - hoof ball anyone.

Says it all when he had a full strength team on the pitch but their best player again is a 6ft + caveman who likes to jump for a living.

Well done Basel because they showed last night that if you actually attack them, they cannot defend for toffee.

The man who say: "beep beep beep" is a hypocrite!

Played against a team who had five defenders and they still lost - I wish the whole hypocritical bunch of tossers fell into a large sink hole and never reappeared.

It's actually an 8 man defence the rags have - and it's crap anyway!

Edit
The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine the rankings (regulations Article 17.01):[1]

  1. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  2. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
  3. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  4. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  5. if, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 12 apply

Cheers. That's what I thought (might not have known all the options). Utd scored a lot and therefore have a good goal difference, so they can only not finish in the top 2 if they get hammered at home by the Russian racists.

5 nill I think to finish 2nd if Basil only won 1-0 , if it was 5 nill and Basil won by 2 they would deservedly be out.. long shots

Mini league G/D
-1 Basel
+5 rags
-4 CSKA

Edit
Sorry the Basil score doesn’t come into it as long as they win they would need Utd to lose 0-7 to go through with csk

With 700,000,000,000 followers the Battle of Basel has gone down very badly...

The rags have a large YouTube presence with various bottom feeders eking out a living scrabbling for content, so when they screw up and they do, time and time again, it's all there.

They're going to beat us and get Griezmann apparently! So everything will work out as it should, the United way.

In fact what I should of added is we may well be even more than 8 points when we come to play them,let's face it,Huddersfield,Saints and West Ham should see us get 9 points,Utd have Brighton home,Watford away and Arsenal away before us,they may end up with a max of 4 points from those matches,they will lose at Arsenal

I hope they do and I hope Sanchez scores the winner against them. If he does, it'll have been worth not being able to sign him in the summer just for that.
 
Maureen's excuses are coming think & fast now. He's probably been making up a list all summer.

He is quite the comedian Mr. Keane. Struggling to get out of the weakest group and yet reckons they will compete with Barcelona etc...haha!!!. I dread to think what Napoli would do to this United team.

When Glen Hoddle is laughing at you and we're all laughing along, it's time to take the dogs for a long walk and never be seen again.

Hopefully they finish second in their group and we get to see what PSG would do to them ; )
