So Manchester United and Arsenal have drawn each other in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Which perhaps puts paid to a conspiracy theory I heard about this weekend.
The suggestion was that the draw is 'fixed' to ensure that some of the top teams do not draw each other too early in the tournament. The method used to achieve this, allegedly, is that the balls for the big team are microwaved before the draw. The person dipping their hand in to select one then knows to put a hot ball with a cold one.
Like I say it is just a theory.
If you were going to try to fix things though you would probably want to make it a bit less obvious than this.
I'm not the only one muttering either. This blogger has some question marks about Chelsea's seemingly blessed pathway through the competition.
Lets hope there is no truth in any of these rumours and that the FA only use their microwave to heat up their pies.

Ok. This had made me quite thoughtful. What i'm going to do (right now) is type into google "Microwave FA Cup" and see what transpires.
Man u V's The Arse. What are the chances of that happening ?
