Blackburn or Coventry vs Chelsea

Swansea or Fulham vs Man Utd

Cardiff/Arsenal or Burnley vs Sheff Utd or Hull

Everton vs West Ham or Boro

Chelsea, United and Arsenal all kept apart. Surprise surprise :think:

BTW, Souness looked well twitchy when he was drawing the balls. Like something was happening... :think:

I dont think its fixed per se, because then all those who are picking the balls out would have been given intructions, and im sure something would have come out by now.

But I do definetly think something is up, dunno how, but the draws for most competitions always seem to be so predictable.

Really bad news for us that United are now starting to play well again!

its a fucking fix ive been saying it for years

I reckon Everton will win the cup. They got a good draw and they're one of the few teams in the league who don't really have anything to play for, other than the FA Cup. They won't get relegated and they won't come top 4, maybe not even 5th. Ever other Premiership team there has to concentrate of the league.

Really? Then maybe you should put a bet on them? :shrug:

It quite hard to fix the 1/4 finals. You presume if its done, its done by heating and cooling the balls. The draw for the Carling Cup semis is very dodgy in my opinion. I looked at the last 13 semi final draws and if you assume that the authorities (police, FA, tv companies and sponsors) want to have local rivals playing in the semis for policing issues and want the big clubs to avoid each other until the final, then about 8 years were 'fixed' and 5 were not important. Not a single one went against the 2 'rules' mentioned above. But its a bit hard to be sure because I couldn't really remember who was a big team or not back then. But the probability of the draw working out that kindly for the authorities is very low.

Yep, they're all fixed. Nothing to do with probability and chance, at all. I mean, there must be, what, I'd say about a million different permutations for 4 fixtures being played between 8 teams, eh? :roll:

Besides the obvious lunacy of the above, seeing as Spurs would benefit more than most by any fixing (most seasons we'd be desperate that - if we couldn't be involved ourselves - that the final is between a team in the top 4/5, so there's an extra European spot), I really do wonder whether some fans (not just ours) sit at home with tin foil on their head, rocking back and forth on their knees, using a pair of compasses to scratch 'remain vigilant' on their forearms.

If it's fixed it's the most water-tight conspiracy in the fucking world. Over 100 years of football and not one person has ever came out and said that he was asked to fix a draw, incredible!
