How do they manage, every time, to get the easy side of the draw?

As soon as the BBC updated the Quarter Final draw I said "Well, United's going to get Lyon v Bordeaux in the semi", and then they did, it's entirely predictable.

Nothing will convince me that these draws aren't, in some way, fixed/rigged to ensure the final is a showpiece event. Could you imagine the non-event it would bee if Lyon v Bordeaux had been drawn against CSKA Moscow v Bayern Munich on one side of the draw, none of those four sides is even remotely good enough to beat any of the other four. UEFA set these things out with TV revenues in mind.

I think it's called the luck of the Irish.

There's a point where the law of averages should indicate that luck is no longer the prevailing reason. You can be lucky only so long, if after that you're still being "lucky" it's time to look for other factors.

porto monaco final? i'm afraid they're just exceptionally lucky bastards.
 
I'm sorry but suggesting that a draw of this size is in any way rigged is preposterous, it would be the biggest scandal in world sport ever. Individual matches in single countries may be fixed and very occasionally a governing body may be involved but the possibility of every Football Association in Europe getting together and agreeing to give United an easy draw is quite simply ridiculous.

United are lucky, that's it. No conspiracy, no grassy knoll, no hot balls, nothing but plain old good fortune.

There's nothing UEFA can do if the "lesser sides" don't play ball and actually beat the bigger teams. Porto beat United on the way to the Final whereas Monaco beat Chelsea and Real Madrid.<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 19, 2010 11:36 am --<br /><br />

No way will Munich be allowed to win, could you imagine the City fans chanting their name if they won.

"Magic Bullet !!"
 
Surely if United do win the double, Fergie will call it a day. A third Champions League and overtaking Liverpool.

What price the Special One rocking up at OT then?

Having said all that don´t think United will win either.

Still Barca for me whoever thay play. And in the Premier United only have a 33 percent chance.

In fact if Bayern keep Rooney quiet no reason thay can't win.

Italian sides have been rigging results for years, UEFA do all they can to maintain the status quo (look at Platini's transparent attempts to cut City down before we've had chance to grow). It is entirely possible that UEFA have made attempts to control who plays who in competitions.
 
The draw is not as easy as it looks for the Rags!

The eaisiest route for them would have been Bordeaux then CSKA/Lyon or Arsenal in the Semi.

I honestley dont think they will get past Bayern who know how to play Champs league football against English teams, and if they do, then Lyon are no mugs.

Remember it only takes an injusry/suspension to Shrek and they look a very basic team imo!

I beg your pardon? I don't know you from a hole in the road pal but anytime you want a pissing competition about City credentials I'll be happy to clean your fucking clock.

How can posting a perfectly rational comment about the nature of cup draws have me labelled as a United fan?

3 things in life that no man should ever be called, a scab, a grass or a rag - not necassarily in that order.

Prick.

Munich are a poor side, as are most German outfits, nowhere near the strength they once were. They only got past Fiorentina in the last round due to some truly shocking refereeing decisions in the first leg.
 
Bayern, Bordeaux and Lyon are all decent but average sides.........United in the final then.
Christ, i hope i'm wrong
