looking at the first one I think you have to work out the odds on one prem v prem match from 8 teams, then the odds of the remaining 6 teams producing the only prem v prem match, then combining the two.

so that's premA have 7 possible opponents, 3 of which are prem so thats 42.9% or 3/7 or 4:3
six remaining teams 1 of 6 possible opponents are prem so that's 16.7% or 1/6 or 5:1
putting a 4/3 and a 5/1 on as a double gets 14/1
So I was right

I think

I think Man U & Arsenal are the best 2 sides left in it but the fact that they will be slugging it out for the title will work against them.

Barca won't win it as they are not good enough at the back.

Roma, I've not seen enough of so can't really comment but they would be a surprise winner.

Fenner/Schalke aren't good enough.

That leaves Chelsea & Liverpool who are both capable of winning it. If pushed I'd go for the course & distance winners Liverpool but I wouldn't like to bet against Chelsea in a final played in Moscow  Smiley

Don't watch Liverpool play.  We'll only disappoint you when we win.

no, it's wrong
in the second part the prem team has 5 possible opponents so it's a combination of 4:3 and 4:1 which is about 8.6% or just short of 12:1

Usually I would agree but ManUre's squad is big this year. The strength in depth is actually a little worrying. It's the first year since 99 I've had to sweat on who's winning it.

Thought you would like it seen as you beat them. Would expect at least one all eng tie out of the 4 man u vs lpool would probly be the best tie but like a said would like that to be the final see what happens soon enough must be nice to have cl draw to think about instead of relegation lol oh for the good old days when we at least challenged at the top.
