Not sure what happened to my Hemisphere thread but just to keep you up to date after today's match the current standing is

Northern Hemisphere 368 pts Southern Hemisphere 303 pts.

The Southerners are striking back. Who knows what this weekend will bring and frankly who really cares.

Let's not forget that when Flam 'walked out on the club' he had just completed a great season playing out of position at full back where he performed heroically to help guide us to the Champions league final where he was duly dumped/replaced by a certain Cashley. (Have a go at him by all means). The...

As my shirt says TRY FLAMINI

You lot deride him. I think he shows more passion than all the rest put together.

Arteta should never be selected ahead of Matti.

We got him for free, we got him for free
our nutty frenchman Matti Flamini.

After the end of this weekends 'titanic engagements' the current score is NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 255 pts SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE 136 pts Don't write off the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE yet, there's a long way to go (unfortunately). Maybe the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE need to invoke the 'exceptional circumstances clause!!

Hold on let's not miss the real reason why we didn't win this game. Wenger rested 6 mid week. The man who probably warranted a rest was Santi. If we are going to put Ramsay back in he should be playing centre mid (prederred position) instead of Santi for this game. The Ox should have also come in to...

OK

After the first engagement the latest score is

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 35 SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE 11

Lets see how the aggregate hemispherical encounters develop to see which Hemisphere will be crowned Rugga World Cup Champions .

Great to hear the Rugger buggers stick the boot into footy at the first opportunity today. The RFU stated that faking of injury would result in banishment to 'the sin bin' hoorah!!! They added that they were introducing this to try and avoid - ' football style behaviour on the pitch' !!! Well excuse...

And sorry I spelt the initial Hemisphere incorrectly (state education I'm afraid).

Can't believe this load of old tosh is upon us once again. Be prepared for a load of Brown Shoe Billies pontificating about the importance of this tournament as essentially 6 Nations (that tournament's bollocks as well) take on 26 villages. Can someone take it upon themselves to carry out a HEMISPHE...

As said before this game was a classic case where Wenger did not respect the opposition. I bet no tactics were discussed /employed. The instruction would have been just go out and do your stuff and you will win. Bouldy's face on the bench says it all for me. He is almost permanently biting his lip. ...

As usual we'll make a right meal of it if Mr Bean/Wenger goes defensive again. If Theo doesn't start then we deserve all we get. A pedestrian performance such as those V Swansea and Utd will see us in big trouble. Very refreshing today to see Theo and Wilshere adding that fiz and pace. If we go at t...

Sorry to go against the grain here but I think, when given the chance, he has been great since returning. When The Ox got injured I thought Theo would be the natural replacement but what do I know. Wenger obviously prefers solidarity to pace. I really think we need to give Theo a sustained run in th...

Who honestly cares? A team sport where you can't change your formation in an attempt to defeat the opposition is completely and utterly pointless. Will be delighted when this crap is over and done with. Just an excuse for a load of privileged posh boys to get together for a jolly good knees up. Roll...

Is Louis Van Gal (or however you spell it) an Alex Ferguson/Steve Bruce hybrid?? It's uncanny. The bright red face of 'Sir' Alex coupled with the flat boxer's nose/punch drunk face of Steve Bruce . The excellent Manure Manager should be referred to as Alex Bruce from now on (with apologies to Steve'...

Can anyone tell me who has made it to the Calcutta Cup Final this year??
