Draw fixed?

[Aston max]

Thing is what's the update on RND,Arblaster and brewster
Also Brooks and coubailly what's wrong with giving them a go we've got nothing to lose

It's a fucking fix, they want man utd - city final. The games corrupt..

Man Utd look like going out.
Oh hang on … penalty.
And red card.
And another red card.
And another red card.
And a VAR decision.
2-1.
Phew! Looked a bit dodgy there for a minute …

How the fuck was it a fix?

There were only five teams left in the cunt.

3-1 nicely set up for a all Manc final who'd have thunk it?

They're all quality teams to be fair - just having no midfield because of the ineligibility is what hurts. City have a big UCL QF in Germany midweek before (potentially 120 mins) and then have what could be a pivotal game in the title race vs. Arsenal the following midweek, so potentially could have some fatigue and rotation (that being said their B team is still ridiculous!)

We also have games either side, which arguably (for us at least) are going to be far more important.

Even if we maintain our current advantage over Boro, we could be going into that game after the Semi even on points with Boro (albeit with 2 games in hand) - it will be vitally important we get results either side of the semi.

We are probably now finishing our season with 4 Home games followed by 2 Away games...

Thought it was3/1 at the start of the draw. Still lowish odds I know, but you just knew what it was going to be. Never had that feeling when it was the pigs.

It would be evens if there was 2 other teams, so 3 other teams is 2-1

Hasn't Brookes done his ankle, or did I dream that..? Agree that Coulibaly should be involved though. Would start him with Norwood.

Quality swearing. Kudos to you my friend.

FA to re-do the draw, realised they fixed in wrongly, should have given Brighton to Citeh!

 

[Lane Lad]

Definitely a fix and will probably stop me from going in protest. Plus side it will save me a few quid and another Wembley trip that ends in tears.

 

[Athens Blade]

Really did us that on the big pitch against City and automatically bans McAtee and Doyle who would have played their hearts out . That midfield of Norwood and Fleck is just what they were looking for.

I think that the cup rules say that players on a season long loan can play against their parent clubs

 

[Bladedog]

They fix it by warming two o the 4 balls.. football is corrupt from the top...infantino elected again unopposed...bent as fuck..9 billion they make by expanding the next world cup.. football regulator fat chance.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

the odds of us drawing Brighton were 1/3, so it is hardly a conspiracy.

Bravo, that's the spirit. Perhaps it would be a good idea to save your money, time and effort for the final if we get there? Or would you think up another weak as piss excuse not to go to that too? FFS.

Pep normally plays very strong sides on all his matches.

However there's a good chance he might rest several players for this match.

Man City fixtures are
Weds 19th play Away to Bayern Munich
Sat 22nd play us at Wembley
Weds 26th play Home to Arsenal.

It's hard to believe that Man City play 3 matches in a week and our match at Wembley is the smallest game and least important of the 3.
2 massive matches either side of our Wembley means......surely means Pep rests some players.

I personally don't think the cup draw is a fix. Its drawn using 4 balls in a bowl, but the person drawing isn't able to see the balls so they wouldn't know which team is which. The only way they'd get around this is to have engravings or marks on the balls so they know which one is which. Even that likely wouldn't work as the modern footballer would forget what mark matched what team.

What I think is more likely is we were drawn against man city in and honest and fair way. We had a 33.33% chance of drawing man city. 16.67% lower than if there were 2 other teams in the draw, but 8.33% higher than if there were 4 other teams in the draw. Its all about probabilities and if you ask me we'll probably be alright!
