True why celtic and rangers always win the league. Now i know why rangers beat us in that cup final Sad

I think its a lucky guess. To even say fixing with no evidence just speculation is wrong

Aye thats the same thread. I think it's too unlikely that it was 'a lucky guess'...how many possible combinations was there does anyone know??

I'm happy to get the medium draw against Roma, I didn't want to get a big team for obvious reasons and there's always the chance of becoming complacent against the smaller teams. With Roma it will be against a team that we have faced four times in a year, we've beaten them twice, lost one and drew one with our reserves on the field.


I think you'll be beaten away and beat them at Morgue Trafford and go through. See you in the final my Leprechaunic friend.

Hope Barca are exposed as being involved in the fixing scandal, thrown out of the tournament, and we get to play Shalke instead....wishful thinking

Man U fans will be very happy to meet us again, I hope we'll do a better figure in and out the pitch even if I doubt about the second one...

i hope they don't play Arsenal v Liverpool at the same time.. so i can follow both.. =P

and gobati.. we red devils love your team more than others.. that's why we're destined to meet again.. lol..

well.. better not say dangerous things before the matches.. things could just go wrong by chance.. haha..

Hardly easy? And what do you mean another? Lyon, Roma, Milan are the last draws United have gotten in the KO stages. Far from easy.

Roma just knocked out the La Liga leaders comfortably....

Liverpool are unpredictable and no doubt a strong cup team.

Although I do think we're better and I think Wenger knows how to beat Benítez, but it'll be very difficult.

Again, it's all about the middle of the park and we're stronger.

i disagree, but each to their own. I think it is very evenly matched in the middle of the park

i'm not too happy with the draw for United. i don't understand why people think Roma was an easy draw. it's an OK draw, at best. they threw Real out of the competition, they're challenging for the title in Italy, they have some world-class players... need i go on? don't let that 7-1 result fool you. i'm a bit worried about this, to be honest.

as for Barca, i couldn't be happier with the Schalke draw because with all the problems the team has right now (Messi's injury being the biggest) it's a stroke of luck to avoid all the big guns. still, i hope the players and Rijkaard don't underestimate the Germans.

as for the English battle between Arsenal and Liverpool, it is indeed very hard to call. Arsenal can play some great football, while Liverpool has improved lately and Torres is on top form. i'd give Arsenal a 55% chance of going through.

Chelsea got lucky again, being draw against a team from an inferior league (like Olympiakos in the previous round). of course, Fener are better than Olympiakos and are extremely dangerous on their day, so i do give them a slight chance (say 15%) of going through.

as for the draw being fixed, i wonder what would happen if that was proven to be the case! call the whole thing off or something?

It's incredible. There's no way in hell it was just a lucky guess.

Thinking about it, was it just a coincidence that Liverpool and Chelsea drew each other in the group stages 2 years ago?

The draws always seem fixed but you never actually think they properly are - this would suggest otherwise...

Champions League quarter-final draw
