Here are the match-ups:Arsenal v. Liverpool
AS Roma v. Manchester Utd.
Schalke 04 v Barcelona
Fenerbahce v. Chelsea
But the drama comes from some Liverpool message board where one poster said the draw was leaked and posted the exact match-ups almost two hours before the draw!
Rumour going around draw has been leaked..... this is no doubt rubbish but if Rumour is true it's LFC - arsenal and Chelsea - fenerbache and manure v romaThis guy says he has friends/sources in the betting industry, which makes sense, if anything does. Conspiracy!
No bookies will take bets on the draw either.......
Let the draw commence. Comeeee on!
UEFA is laughing this off of course, saying it's impossible to rig something like this, but I disagree. It's definitely possible, but who stands to benefit?
Looks like Chelsea and Barcelona got the easier draws, but are we to believe they are behind it?
If UEFA was behind it, they'd try to get the underdogs out of the way to increase ratings and whatnot. In that were the case, you'd think Man. U and Arsenal (the strongest) would get matched up with Fenerbahce and Schalke (the weakest), but that didn't happen either.
I love a conspiracy as much as anyone, and there's definitely enough money/interest/shady characters in soccer to pull this off, but I can't find out who gained anything from this vanilla draw!
There are a lot of people not particularly happy by the draw, and no one is jumping for joy.
But the dude did call it. Weird.
