talk is that pires will start instead of reyes. it'll be pires' last game for arsenal as he's agreed a 2 year deal with villarreal.

Its a probable line up........ Thats why I said you can correct me if I'm wrong :laugh:

But you can check it out here http://www.fcbarcelonaweb.co.uk/index.php?id=290

And they say the probable line up........
But I would'nt be surprised if thats who they put out. But I could be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see...........

Well, I can't say I hope Arsenal win. If they do, and play well, then good luck to them. As a northerner, I'm proud of the fact that only northern and midlands teams have won it.

I predict a score of either 3-1 for Barcelona or 1-0 for Arsenal. Yes, I'd personally prefer the former.

Come on the Arsenal do England proud and Make my Wife happy

I see it from Liverpool's point of view. If Arsenal win, they could be more difficult to contain next season with the new confidence acquired by winning the CL.

Actually, Barcelona deserve a second win.

Well, Im cheering on Arsenal tonight. I agree with John - Wenger has become so petulant in the last few seasons, but at the end of the day I watch Arsenal week in, week out, I know their players well, and I hope they win it. If it was the mancs it might be a different story.

I'd back Barcelona if I was putting money on it though.

Gabby logan's got way too much eye makeup on. I know it's not strictly Football, but she looks a bit Marilyn Manson-ish! Still would though...

great save to deny henry after 2 mins

and another great strike and save

Henry's looking sharp tonight. But he seems to be the only real shining light in the Arsenal side.

lehmann sent off, huge blow. He brought down eto when he was through, guily put it in the net but it was pulled back for a free kick and lehmann is sent off.

Almunia will come on.

Bah, I know the rules are the rules, but a red card ruins the final, IMHO, the law of advantage should be applied, no red card, and a goal for Bar$a, but this ruins the final.

Posted: **Wed May 17, 2006 8:06 pm**

pires is the man coming off for almunia to come on
