Simple really, what would be your North XI and South XI - and who do you think would win? ONE RULE: Maximum of 2 players from each club in your selected XI. Teams are categorised as follows... NORTH Aston Villa Everton Liverpool Manchester City Manchester United Newcastle United Stoke City Sunderland West Bromwich Albion Wigan Athletic SOUTH Arsenal Chelsea Fulham Norwich City Queens Park Rangers Reading Southampton Swansea City Tottenham Hotspur West Ham United DTLW
North Mignolet Baines Kompany Agger Debuchy Toure Fellani Cabaye Suarez Rooney RVP South Cesar Cole Verthongon Williams Clyne Schneiderlin Diame Bale Cazorla Mata Michu I have to say I think the north would beat us pretty comfortably.
I'd go with: NORTH 4-2-3-1 - Guzan; Debuchy, Shawcross, Kompany, Baines; Carrick, Cabaye; Suarez, Yaya Toure, Coutinho; Van Persie.
Then I'd go with: SOUTH - 4-2-3-1 - Vorm; Clyne, Hangeland, Vertonghen, Cole; Schneiderlin, Wilshere; Mata, Michu, Bale; Berbatov.
North: Guzan, Zabaleta, Jagielka, Coloccini, Baines, Carrick, Cabaye, Yaya Toure, Suarez, Van Persie, Benteke South: Jaskelainen, Walker, Luiz, Koscielny, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Noble, Cazorla, Mata, Bale, Michu.

South : Boruc, Clyne, Shaw, Hooiveld, Yoshida, Fonte, Schneiderlin, Cork, Lallana, Puncheon, Ramirez, Lambert, Rodriguez. I know its 13 players and all from the same team, but to be honest, I'm not sure I would want to see any other players, they're all lovely boys !! (ps I almost gave my son, born 17th Jan 2013, the middle name Lambert but the missus wouldn't let me so we went with Michael instead, after her brother, my brother in law and my uncle....)

Surely Rickie is the obvious option. May have been allowed then. Unless his first name is Rickie of course.

Schneiderlin is a nice name. No one could object to that surely? Think of the fun he'd have spelling it out for the rest of his life.
You echo my thoughts exactly on the team! Congratulations on the son. Michael is a good name - greatest player to date to ever pull on a Saints shirt. Get him a '76 replica shirt and encourage an interest in 'orses.
Not that it matters, as no one has picked players from either team, but Norwich is further north than Aston Villa.
