Has Wibble denied every possible accusation that the draw is fixed yet?

Im curious if rival forums are foaming at the mouth that we've someone got the draw redone because we didnt like it or accept it was a shambles
As an oppo poster I'll happily admit I'm annoyed as feck that we lose our super easy match and probably end up getting Bayern or some shit. Filled with hate right now.

This'll boil the piss of ours rivals who were know doing pissing themselves at how the first draw went for them vs us
Imagine we end up somehow winning the whole thing? The level of ABUness will reach peak SAF levels.

I mean that initial draw couldn’t get any worse. Odds that it will be the exact same draw?
What type of odds do you want?

Statistical odds? 10000000000000000/1

UEFA rigged odds? 1/10000000000000000

I'm fuming. The draw is rigged same with the FA cup the hardest possible tie against Aston Villa where other teams get lower league ties!! Done with football. ManUtd needed a Sporting or easier tie for confidence! Why isn't there an investigation!? Every year this happens with United..

There's probably a software engineer who wrote the software insanely pissed off right now that it's being blamed when it was almost certainly just incompetence from someone on the stage

Previous talk about fixed draws are getting even more fuel after today. A multibillion industry can’t even get their own things right. Shocking!

It wouldn't even surprise me if Uefa pulled out Spurs v Liverpool at this point.

That's how much confidence I have in their integrity

Hopefully they send out a tweet.
But that's bye bye business if they do, so they'll just shut it and take the hit.

There are many "draw simulators" online for free. Just stick that up on the screen instead. Problem solved.

Don't worry, once they calm down and we see the new regs in action during pre-season, this will be largely moved on from.

One thing is important. Make sure things like this gets correct to take anything from those who are always suspicious. They did opposite today.

I like that they could make things right with new draw. Credit to them.

A World Cup every 2 years, 2 CL draws in one day... What will FIFA and UEFA think of next?
