Yes mate, there is definitely some fixing going on.
Also the rags in the Europa last season, all the biggest clubs playing each other and knocking each other out with rags getting the easiest possible opponents in each stage.
It has to do more so with the money IMO, it is in their interest to keep the biggest clubs in it as long as possible.
Rags will make everyone much more than Ajax . They will get an easy draw in the group stage because of the same reason.
Real I believe also had a very easy CL run the season before last when we faced them in semi final. They were almost eliminated by Wolfsburg of all clubs.
It's all about the money and those in charge would profit the most if clubs like Liverpool and rags will the league, fa cup and league cup every season.
This would be corruption at the highest level. Prison sentences too. All for what, to stop City. Even after all this fifa corruption you still think the PL. FA & UEFA continually rig fixtures & draws just to stop us?
A bit like the bidding to host the World Cup in Quatar?This would be corruption at the highest level. Prison sentences too. All for what, to stop City. Even after all this fifa corruption you still think the PL. FA & UEFA continually rig fixtures & draws just to stop us?

With the money sloshing around the upper echelons (FIFA/UEFA/FA/CONMEBOL/Sky/ESPN/Eurosport/BT), it would be foolish to believe their isn't corruption at some level. If you factor in the money bet on the outcome of games across the world, their are a lot of individuals/organisations who stand to make an awful of of money. This is before you take into account illegal betting syndicates with links to match officials.
Not a hope in hell its fixed. How anyone could think that uefa can somehow pay off some of the richest sportsmen alive to fix a draw is rediculous. Can you imagine the lengths they would have to go to in order to instigate that, let aone keep it quiet. Also, over the past few years our draws have been much more favourable. Monchengladbach and Celtic are hardly powers of world football from last year, Juve, Sevilla and gladbach again the year before, Bayern, Roma and CSKA, Bayern, Plzen and CSKA again. Yes some tough groups, but nothing over the past 4/5 years like we got in our early days.We've had good draws in the knockout stages for the last couple of years.
It's not to stop City, as such, it's to keep the clubs that would make them the most money at the top. If they could make the most money off City Chelsea and Paris we'd be the teams they'd be backing, they don't have anything against us other than us not being their cash cow...yet!This would be corruption at the highest level.

I'm not disputing any of that. Especially the Qatar bid. But ex players, multi millionaires being payed to make sure City get the worst possible draws in every competion is fuckin ludicrous.
I'm still waiting for an answer on our last two CL knockout draws. Why did we miss the big guns?
So you think players like Nedved, the real ronaldo, Ian Rush, Zidane, Figo, Beckham etc (players im pretty sure ive seen doing the draw) are all in on it? One or two maybe you could possibly argue, but what we are saying is pretty much every superstar footballer is on it. Not having it one bit.It's not to stop City, as such, it's to keep the clubs that would make them the most money at the top.
