Clear fix. Every single ball bar the second one, Clemence simply picked the ball that was in the base of the bowl...for the second one he bent his wrist to one side and picked the end one. Course it was.

It's just 2/1 i.e. 1 in 3 isn't it?

Four teams: A, B, C & D (ok there were six teams - but only four numbers in the draw).

If A is Man Utd. and B is Chelsea etc., there's 3 possible teams A can be drawn against. I just thought of that before so it might be wrong, but I don't think it is.

So if Man Utd come out, there's 1/3 of it being Chelsea but 2/3 of it not. Makes sense.

 

What if Watford came out first though? That way it's 2/3 to be Man Utd or Chelsea. Doesn't that mean the odds on there being a Man Utd - Chelsea semi are simply 50%?

 

*I may be talking complete shit.

God, I don't know :lol: I just thought, before the draw started, any number in the draw can be drawn against any of the other three. Therefore Chelsea and Man Utd being kept apart is 1/2 on and being drawn together is 2/1 against. I'll ditto your asterisk though.

The possibilities (ignoring home and away):

 

Watford v Man ure or Boro, therefore: Blackburn v Spurs or Chelski - Apart

Watford v Blackburn, therefore: Man ure or Boro v Spurs or Chelski - Together

Watford v Spurs or Chelski, therefore: Blackburn v Man ure or Boro - Apart

 

Therefore there was 2/3 probability that they would be kept apart.

 

Doesn't prove one way or the other whether or not it was a fix, though.

Aye, by 1/2 on I meant that in Bookies' odds, i.e. 2 out of 3.

I like it when people on here (except scottass) instantly dismiss our chances just like they did when we had to go to stamford bridge (i correctly predicted a draw may i add). COYS
