    Dennis Bender could have scored the winner....but cocked it up. You can't legislate for everything in a match. You can't fix it all.

    Hang on....

    Yup. As predicted.

    Fix!

    Someone wins the lottery most weeks. It's not a fix it's just there are a lot of tickets out there and if you know anything about probabilities you'll know the chances of someone winning are quite high. The chances of it being you are very low.
    Regards the lottery.

    Always fat people.

    Always.

    Someone on Redcafe posted the draws that Chelsea have had in the FA Cup over the last 5-6 seasons, and especially in the early rounds, they've always had extremely easy opposition, and if you compare their draws with the draws of other "big" teams, I'm sure the difference is statistically significant at the 1% level.

    Good one!

    Are you serious?

    The first of the fixes is publicly announced, it's called seeding which is another way to say rigging the draw so the big teams all find it easier to get to the latter rounds. Why? Money, what other possible reason could there be? None of these parasites actually has any interest in the game beyond how much it can make them. "They" are the people who skim money from football and put it in their pockets because they have friends who write stuff on paper that says they are entitled.

    But we know all this.

    15th Feb AC Milan
    18th Feb (FA Cup 5th round)
    26th Feb Tottenham Hotspur
    3rd Mar Liverpool
    6th Mar AC Milan
    10th Mar Newcastle United

    Our season usually falls apart a bit later than this.

    Bollocks, Gervinho is going to be knackered by the time he gets back. Although I suppose the same might be true of 'Prince'.
