No, it was a 1 in 1 chance. Multiply it up by the last draw and the fix is statistically certain.Quote:

And that's why your definition of a good or disappointing season is far too simplistic.Quote:

You aren't getting this at all, are you? They don't rig draws and matches because they support the team. They do it for money. Unless, of course, you genuinely believe there is no corruption in a billion quid industry? Not even you could be that naive. Could you?Quote:

Could be even more ridiculous if we pulled off a miracle against Bayern, as the CL quarters are either side of the Everton game.
It makes more sense for them to have us play them in the final then, that's the showpiece event of the cup, they want to have two big teams as a one sided affair isn't a good advert for the tournament seeing as it's streamed across the world.Quote:

Sorry but I think that's absolute rubbish, people prefer to see big games, the big clubs have far more supporters and thus more money will be generated.Quote:

He even talked about the correlation of increased bar takings in London & Essex after Manc wins, & something about Sainsbury & Tescos selling more BBQ stuff in the summer when the Mancs are champions!

If it is a fix it's a completely pointless one :lol:
Makes no odds to us but huge for Asians in flares, open shirts and medallions.Quote:
