If Mancs blue and red are drawn against each other in CL, they will end up playing four times in all comps in the span of 18 days. FA Cup, CL three days later, CL again a week after that, then PL the following week.
 
I wish there was a more outspoken rivalry between these two
-----------------------------

They do their talking, where it is at its loudest.

I personally prefer Ronaldo for all sorts of reasons but in general I believe without one we wouldn't have the other as they've constantly pushed each other over the years. We've been very lucky to see it though imo n it's something that won't happen for long time or if ever like you say.
 
A Prowsey style FK from Sholing's Alex Sawyer tonight in a 3-1 away win in Skateland at Baffins Milton Rovers (nasty little team)...

That's now 26 wins and one draw in 27 matches overall...

I was lucky enough to witness Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, *Best, Beckenbauer and Moore too.

*Bestie actually in the flesh.

Just remembered that I also saw Mooro at the Dell past his prime for Fulham though.

I saw Best and Moore live, and all the others on TV, and all of them knock Ronaldo into a cocked hat, as did Law, Charlton, van Basten, Greaves, Giles, and Robin ****ing Friday!

I can say with 100% certainty that is not the draw.

This happens just before every draw in every competition, it’s never right. Just some spotty teenager making stuff up!
I remember a “leaked” document showing all of our PL fixtures for this season - totally fake :)
 
The only reason to fix the draw would be if you had a bet on it....don't get these conspiracy theories. It's like those that think some balls drawn for the FA Cup are warmed up so the selectors know which is which....the question we would ask ourselves is why would anyone do this? would it work (heat redistributes, so the pickers would have to have extremely sensitive fingers), and it would involve so many people that it would be amazing that someone wouldn't blab to the papers. Conspiracy theorists are stupid and have way too much time on their hands.

Mind you....just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean the bastards aren't out to get you. :bandit:<laugh>
