Each year I become more & more convinced that this is the case, in order to keep the TV companies happy. If you would have asked them (TV) to seed the remaining quarter finalists in order of preference I think it would have gone something like Liverpool Spurs Chelsea Everton And guess what? They are all drawn at home, if they all get through. To many times nowdays there is always a Man U Vs Man C, or Liverpool, or Arsenal in the third round draw. Far more than there ever used to be. Me thinks there are definitely some warm balls in that bowl.
The strangest draw i'd ever seen was last seasons. Leicester vs. Man City Kasabian vs. Oasis Pizzorno vs Gallagher
my balls are warm...do you think there is something dodgy going on in my trousers? sorry mate, i watched the draw, no way it was fixed...
It's defiitely rigged ... coniving gits ... trying to ensure that Martin O'Neils Sunderland avoid playing his old team until the final ... who do they thnk they are fooling eh?
I have had my suspicions in the past, when it comes to the semi final and there is 2 big teams and 2 little teams paired together most of the time the big teams avoid each other until the final
But didn't Cardiff and Barnsley get each other in the semis a few years back? I wouldn't be surprised if it's been rigged SINCE then, I mean, Portsmouth v Cardiff is hardly a purists dream was it? This year has looked especially bad. In the last round, there were seven none-Prem teams (almost half), and everyone of them were given a Prem opponent. Now in the quarters, the biggest four remaining clubs have avoided each other and all at home. It almost defies odds.
If find it too much of a coincidence Man U got Man City and then Liverpool straight after, and then to top it off QPR got Chelsea After the Suarez-Evra and Terry-Ferdinand saga's i just find it too convenient that they both drew each other
