Now I'm not a conspiracy believer but if you can watch the draw from last night again.

1. Souness picks up the balls with index finger and thumb in order and places them in the ball with a sorry looking swirl around. Chelsea are 1 and Spurs are 4 so easy to separate them from the other 2
2. He tries to then pick out the selections without taking his hand out first so with only 4 options would know where each selection was
3. He picks out Chelsea
4. Jamie picks out Liverpool and he gives him the dirtiest look you've seen and Jamie is fighting every bone in his body to look straight ahead and not make eye contact with Souness.

Queue all the WTF's lol but it did look really strange draw to me

I don't see why he would do us any favours. He played one season for us, he won 3 European cups at Liverpool.

Apologies, I meant he tried and failed to fix the draw.
As in get Chelsea and Spurs to play in the semi

I think it's scandalous that two players with such strong ties to one club, and such well documented grudges against another in the pot, were allowed to do the draw

The point is he cocked it up. It was pretty dodgy IMO. Although futile.
Or alternatively he could have thought Liverpool have a better chance of dispatching chelsea over two games rather than one and if they get through it, they have an easier final. :p

I really thought it was dodgy how souness was allowed to put the ball in to the pot just moments before he took it out

Bring back Bert Millichip and the other old duffers. Although I think that was the FA Cup.

And 2 ex Spurs !

Mother of God! I didn't even know Soumess played for Spurs. Apparently started senior career with us then off to Sampdoria blah blah

He is Liverfool through & through though. Same as Louise Nurding's huswife

Agree they're both Liverpool and both have reasons to be bitter toward Spurs.

Would be interesting to know how easy it would be to feel the number on the ball. There is definitely room for abuse there. Either way I'm happy with that drawer although how crap would it be to lose to either of them in the final...

No WTF's from me - the media, in particular, has a huge Liverpool/Man U bias. A Liverpool - Chelscum final would have been jizz-land for them.
