Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

UEFA Champions League final open thread

Barcelona, Manchester United. Two teams that nobody around here likes too much, most likely, these days, but hey. Here's the place for the SBN Arsenal community to discuss the game if you all would like. Try to remain calm, everybody; the storm will be over soon. Keep it civil/chivalrous.

And most of all, despite all the laughs that are sure to ensue, enjoy the game, and enjoy Leo Messi, because he might just be the best player ever to kick a ball.

Here are the lineups:

FC Barcelona: Victor Valdes; Eric Abidal, Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves; Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta; David Villa, Lionel Messi, Pedro.

Subs: Oier Olazabal, Carles Puyol, Bojan Krkic, Seydou Keita, Ibrahim Afellay, Adriano, Thiago

Manchester United: Edwin van der Sar; Fabio da Silva, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra; Antonio Valencia, Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs Park Ji-Sung; Wayne Rooney; Javier Hernandez

Subs: Tomasz Kuszczak, Chris Smalling, Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes, Anderson, Nani, Michael Owen

This Fox "pregame" show is awful.

What are the odds that Jens popped up for Barca's last day of training

Just the slightest, menacing Germanic smile on his face

“Hello, Carlos. I believe you have something of ours…put it back, and no questions will be asked…”

I'm impressed that Fox has it and not just FSC

Hopefully they get a good rating.

I only want Barca to win if they do it the right way: no cheap PKs, no bogus red cards. So far so good.

Captain, there are doubt's...

Well... that was some game.

Who remembers when Arsenal were a Bendtner toe away from advancing over Barcelona?

(hangs shaking head) what a season…
