    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

    I don't think there's any question of that.

    Football is big money, not hard to work out really.

    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.

    It could only be more doddgy if Sep Blatter was 'miked up' to the ball drawers.

    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
