Wednesday Open Thread

Huh. There are two matches today as well. While there is little to no hope that either of these will capture the imagination the way yesterday's Liverarse second half did, we will still play attention.

Unless the games suck, then we can get on with everything else.

Anyway, lineups and your comments are found after this link.
