The draw was a FIX

[Parr_Zee]

Just throwing it out there!

And of course it's not remotely out of the ordinary that we've drawn an English club. Not remotely.

What is out of the ordinary is exactly the right draw being "guessed" in a thread entitled "leaked draw".

EXACTLY!!

People on here seem to be focussing on probabilites and that it could be a coincidence, but for the poster to start a thread entitled "Leaked Draw" and then to exactly predict it is far more shocking than the fact that it was obvious that 2 English clubs "could" draw each other!

[tsb]

The chances are only 1 English team will reach the final anyway.

And that will be us.

Hell yeah

The Wall of Sound that is the Kop will bring them to their knees!

That's my prediction, come back mid april and then call me Nostradamus...

But then again, if you reverse your argument, the chance of a non english quater final is far smaller... There is a roughly 77 % chance that two english teams would draw eachother, and so it has happened. I can't see this as being a fix, and if they should have it so badly in for english teams, then why not draw utd against chelsea? then they would have made sure that only 1 english team could reach the final...

This is getting way to paranoid...

Far too obvious.

This way, they get rid of one of the two English teams who've occupied a final spot for the last 3 successive years - guaranteed.

In the semis, they get rid of another.

The only way an all English final can take place is if United beat Barca.

He says it was a racing contact in Goa doesn't he? Page won't load now for me to check.

The strangest thing to me (if it's true) is the bookies refusing bets on it. That suggests some dodgy betting patterns and maybe some leaked info. But if UEFA knew that bookies were in the know a day before would they still have the balls to carry it through? I'm still very skeptical of it all.

yeah he said it's a contact from Goa who work for the Horse Racing Association or soemthing

[Manofthebog]

It's all Abramovich's fault.

i bet you the original poster of the 'fix' is ****ing loving this right now

Just a bit!

The only question I have revolves around him/her. Who was it leaked to? And who by? Where did the poster get it from?

[BobTheCharmer]

Sorry mate, I just like to hang round with the fun guys. You're my hero.

really? well thats understandable. Like an autograph?

I have no problem whatsoever in hoping some people suffer in life. Some deserve it, like those that show no remorse for their hideous crimes.

I just wish you'd stop following me around on here like a lap dog.

Well perhaps that says more about you than you intended.

I wouldn't wish harm on anyone really, no matter how vacant.

It was claimed that the odds of anyone guessing the full draw - including which quarter-final winners would be drawn against each other in the semi-finals - were 191/1.

[rage]

ffs guys what r some of you worried about. We can turn over Arsenal over two legs, the second being at home. As for Chelsea, they're psychologically ****ed playing us in Europe and we beat the mancs in the final.

Best draw possible, this way no one can accuse us of having an easy draw and we'll have beat the the last 3 winners of the premiership in the biggest club competition in the world.
