Rumour going around draw has been leaked..... this is no doubt rubbish but if Rumour is true its LFC - arsenal and Chelsea - fenerbache and manure v roma

Champions League Draw - fix?

Im convinced that all fixture draws are fixed.
There was a rhumor a few years ago that the odd numbered balls were warmed up before going into the barrel...

Given that Arsenal and Manure have met 5 times in 6 seasons of the F.A Cup, there has got to be something to it...

I have always thought it dodgy tbh, with the money involved I have never held faith in the draws


The balls ^

Read the forum posts, basically it seems just insane that someone could guess them up if it was a person behind the scenes the then "this is the draw" push on the web was far to accurate and confident, can not call it a fluke with the rumour of past draws as well.
quite easy when you look at the picture to rig it though by adding textures to the balls etc, I mean they have a practise run, why? To make sure you know which is which? lol

Well it is funny, hand drawn no lottery style machine to be certain its pure, clearly visible, tone differences and textures are possible and on those forums rumour of past draws with heated balls etc.
If they want to or could have ages ago made it a cert to be not fixed a machine would have been used ages ago no?

probably to late now but anyway, were the published draws the same as the original, that will fix comments.
