Fun Uefalona fact

Well, Tasha told me all about your little "cold medication" thing at that reunion gig - Off the toilet cistern lid...really?

Ok....we'll forget that and move on but there's no way Liz is gonna let you off stealing her penguin.

She reared Gulliver from an egg and you just saw an opportunity to get yourself in Closer again (Stop this petty feud/point scoring exercise about column inches with Jordan FFS).

Give him back.

You could argue that it's just as suspicious that Real were on their way out in the second before a dodgy red card saved them. Then they drew unquestionably the weakest possible opponent in the next two sounds. Uefamadrid?

It's a conspiracy

I'd like to think all draws were random but that's ridiculously 'fortunate.' To be honest though, Barca hadhalf of those ties wrapped up before getting back to the Camp Nou

Interesting and suspicious though!

I wonder what they did to upset UEFA the yr they got Shaktar.

Notice how Ruud kept his hand on the same ball, while 'shuffling' the balls, and always drew out the one he kept his hand on.

The way he shuffled the balls was certainly not proper. He spent much too much time shuffling, as if he wanted to feel them up to detect the "warm ball".
I would mandate a "ball shuffling procedure" for the draw such as:
- without looking in the direction of the ball:
- stir the ball forcefully once or twice
- withdraw your hand from the bowl
- grab a ball
This would make it nearly impossible to pick out a heated or magnetic ball.
The way Ruud did it gives rise to suspicion.

Solution - Get a fully kitted out goalkeeper to draw the balls. Let's see you find the hot balls now

All this shows is that if the 2nd leg goes to extra time, the away team (not barca) gets a extra 30 mins to get a away goal. surely that doesnt help barca?

^^^^ That's not convenient for all the conspiracy theorists though so let's ignore it

I think that most people are switched onto the fact that UEFA quite possibly fix some or maybe even all of these draws.

Remember back in December when UEFA staged a dress rehearsal draw for the Champions Leage and it came out with exactly the same result as the subsequent official draw.

Chances of that happening are over 2 million to one.

Barca being drawn 11 out of 12 advantageous home games in the second leg is also extremely suspicious.

Then there is the fact that Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern and Dortmund were all kept apart for the quarter finals so that they could only meet each other on the semis.

I wouldn´t be suprised if Real Madrid and Barca are also kept apart until the Final.

Also UEFA wouldn´t want an all German semi final as well as an all Spanish semi final.

Based on that I would be very suprised to see a Bayern-Dortmund and Real Madrid-Barca semi final draw.

UEFAlona will probably make sure it´s a Barca-Dortmund and Real Madrid-Bayern semi final draw.

UEFA would want Barca to get into the Final this year seeing as they didn´t do it last season so Dortmund would be seen as giving them the best chance of achieving that.
