Bellamy seemed to know the draw last night before it was even drawn?

I firmly believe all cup draws are fixed to one degree or another.
There were all sorts of conditions imposed on the Champions League draw to determine who could play who.

Some of those restrictions make sense. For example if Lyon and Atletico came first and second in a group it’s be a bit silly if they played each other in the next round too.

Nah, Bellamy said this on Tuesday night when only Man City & Burton were through, so when discussing the semis it would have been easy to mention those 2 as opponents as a slip of the tounge.

This rumour has been going on for years. Can’t se it being fixed beyond the seedlings and nationality clauses

I still don't understand how you can fix a cup draw.

The argument has always been warm balls (ooh errr). They supposedly warm up some of the balls to ensure the people drawing pick those and pit certain teams against each other, while in the meantime not making it blindly obvious to the people watching on tv.

I don’t believe it in the slightest to be honest.
