Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

You've got to laugh. Our kid asked me to text him the draw so I said to make it quick it'll be 'A' for Real Madrid & 'B' for Barecelona.

The thing I can't quite work out is that they obviously know in advance which teams we (or anyone else can play).So they set up all those pots, with one for each club, that have all the potential opponents in. So our pot has six balls in and the other seven pots have the teams that the other second place teams can play. But when one of those possible opponents comes out then that eliminates that team from all the other. For example, once Chelsea were drawn, no one else could draw them. So how do they manage that? The only way they can do it is by knowing which teams are in which balls surely?

Didn't they just remove the Chelsea balls from the other pots?

That's the most likely explanation which means that they can easily see which is which. And if they can see that then it must be easy to fix.

Only UEFA could believe this competition and the way its run has any credibilty.

Draw.....what fucking draw? Its virtually hand picked fixtures to suit lol.

How is it done though. We had a 1 in 6 chance of drawing Barca

Long Long Long Long time obsessed lurker,

If it was truly rigged Barca would have got porto/monaco, they got us and they should be scared.

Quite true they have beaten us in the past but we command experience now and a new drive following qualification.

Any team is beatable Weve beaten Bayern twice, weve given RM a good run the team that turns up to play will win and that will be us!!!

I don't follow. Don't they just give the other balls a twizzle after that?
