I'm sure the piece of paper he pulled out was scorched round the edges........

The Olympiakos ball was covered in taramasalata and full of ouzo, in a box labelled 'Only To Be Drawn Out Along With The Rag Ball'.

Indeed this is the case. I'm hearing on the wires that our ball was daubed with the portuguese equivalent of 'TWAT', but in an ink only Figo could see through the contact lenses designed in secret at UEFA HQ. Barca's was moulded in the shape of a pigs head, because Luis knows all about those.

Seriously though mate - how is that not fixed?

There were 1.6m possible draw combinations. How can someone put up a page 21 hours ago with all the draws correctly called?

I am not big on conspiracies, but I am struggling to see how this is not clear evidence of it being fixed.

I don't know how you can have 1.6 million different possibilities from 16 teams, when some of the ties are impossible anyway, (same groups in first round, same countries). There are only 4 teams we could have faced. There's nothing stopping someone sitting behind their desk at mummy and daddy's all weekend and coming up with thousands of pieces of paper with UEFA logos and the 'draw' on, then putting it on twitter. It proves nothing, unless you want it to prove something. Also, if it is proof, why is it only random people on twitter and various football forums who are discussing it? Why aren't the police involved if that piece of paper is proof of manipulation?
*I'm not saying there aren't 1.6m possibilities by the way, I'm just no maths whizz.

I was having a brain fart.

If you had to post 1 tweet with all the draws in it, and then another tweet with all the draws in it etc, then you would need 1.6m tweets to cover all the permutations.

But as you say, if you do it team by team, tweet by tweet, you would only need 96 tweets and then delete the 80 wrong ones.

By the way, I am not (was not) trying to prove anything, I just found it quite amazing.

There's about 10 different accounts all trying to "prove" the same thing, mate.

It's all a load of codswallop, however half of Twitter are falling for it, sadly.

And mods. WTF is this doing in the General Football Forum? Does this not involve City ffs?

Had the thread started here fair enough but actually move it from the Bluemoon forum was an error of judgement imho.

Why the hell does it matter to some people, don't even know why we bother having different forums in the first place.......and I understand even less why anyone takes the time out of their day to complain about it .......seriously WHY !!!

...and yet you took time out of your day to complain about folk complaining, which is probably an even bigger waste of bandwidth.
We need different forums to discuss differing topics, suck as Gail Platts tits and Kat Slater's minge which are not really City, or indeed football, related, so they go in the Cellar.
It's a fairly simple yet failsafe way of doing things that most folk can master with ease.

It could be possible to combine such topics.

'And as he rounded the keeper he was left with an open goal which, in all its gaping glory, resembled Kat Slater's minge'.
