Today i coincided this on a Liverpool fan forum: http://forums.liverpoolecho.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=33755&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Hours before the draw, they have given the correct match-ups. Technically, it being correct is a %4 chance. Also it is stated that bookies have closed the bookings 3 hours before the draw. News spreads around: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...s-on-internet-two-hours-early-89520-20351088/ http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk...ped-by-champions-league-claim-64375-20624765/ Btw, Quarter Finals will be: Roma - Man. United 01/04 - 09/04 Schalke - Barcelona 01/04 - 09/04 Fenerbahçe - Chelsea 02/04 - 08/04 Arsenal - Liverpool 02/04 - 08/04 Comments:-
its a great draw....will be great to see roma vs ManU....both in great form....Arsenal vs liverpool will be a high speed game.....Barca and chelsea have great chance to advance...
Wouldn't suprise me at all if it was fixed, many people who support lower league clubs in England think the FA Cup draws are fixed. Either way I think that these four will go through, ManUre, Chelski, Barcelona and Liverpool
Firstly, several people on that Liverpool board said they'd heard from other people about who would play who in the next round, which came out to be true. Secondly, if you think about it, the next round would be watched by loads more people if there was better teams in it. If you look at the draw both Man Ure and Barcelona have a great chance of going through, as do Chelski, and with either Arsenal or Liverpool going through, the next round will be anticipated by many, meaning more money for UEFA and lots of other people. Anyway I didn't say I thought it was fixed, I said it wouldn't suprise me. Liverpool playing Arsenal is nothing new. A few years ago Chelsea drew Liverpool in the Semi Finals, so just because that match is there, doesn't make the draw fixed. Like I said in my first post, I said it wouldn't suprise me if it was fixed, but not in any way did I say I thought it was fixed.
I hope my team, Fenerbahçe, can go through semi-finals. It will be a very tough game with Chelsea though, but having eliminated Sevilla, i think we have a chance, not as favorites, but as a surprise as that's what we were to most so far.
hmm interesting cant see it myself though 4%?? id have thought it would be more than that Come on utd!!!!
Bring on Liverfool! It's gonna' be a cracking game. ARSENAAAAAAAAL are gonna rip them apart. My Turkish team is Besiktas and I hate Chelsea so I don't care who wins although I'd love an Arsenal - Fener final.
fennerbache is a great team...and after surprising sevilla , it wont be a shock if chelsea gets knocked out........
Semi's will be: Roma - Man. United vs. Schalke - Barcelona Fenerbahçe - Chelsea vs. Arsenal - Liverpool My guess: Manc-Barca Fenerbahçe-Arsenal and Fener-Barca in the finals. Ok i'm highly subjective, but that'd rock
I thought the draw results looked rigged when I saw them. I had no idea there was a controversy as well.
after reading more into this i think its shocking must be an investigation join the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9194343937&ref=mf
The mere fact that four english teams were in the draw meant that there was a very good chance they might cross paths but there always seems to be similar rumours about cup draws. I will be surprised if one of the english teams does not win it this year.
The thread where this was originally mentioned (on another forum) is about 36 pages long now. It's had a lot of coverage in the news, UEFA stated it was just a coincidence. They were talking about some of the balls being heated or chilled so that the person drawing the balls out could pick a warm team to play a cold team so that they can pick the best possible draw. Wouldn't surprise me if it was fixed.
Well I can't belive it but I have no problem with them since Manchester United have good draw and I hope my team will win it. I think this is a really serious problem.
I don't really think that it could be fixed... Both ManU-Roma and AFC-LFC will be the best games. Fenerbahce has a chance to beat Chelsea. Barcelona will surely win with Schalke.
