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.
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.

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 />
