Ashley17 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yep glad Man Utd/Chels were kept apart. Having said that, we need Chelsea to win at WHL first.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Savage near enough called the draw a fix yesterday when he was in the Sky Sports studio for the Blackburn v City game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Good, come on, Watford at the new Wembley, couldn't stand watching that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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.

Guest alex Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It was statistically more likely that they would be kept apart tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I wonder what grounds will be picked to host the semi's, I bet SJP won't be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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.

Dave Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I just posted a load of nonsense. Move along, nothing to see here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 So the FA gets their nice showcase fixture for the new Wembley instead of Man Utd or Chelsea beating Watford 4-0 in the final. Most blatant fix ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Who's to say Man Utd will beat Boro and Chel$ea will beat Spurs.. And even if the scum do beat Spurs, Blackburn is a tricky match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Any news from the F.A on which stadiums are going to be used ? I'd of though Villa Park would be used for Man Utd/Boro v Watford. Old Trafford for the other probs, or maybe the Emirates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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).
