I'll do a 25 man squad, mine's mixed between form of this season and just being the overall better player:

Lloris
Ivanovic, Terry, Reid, Azplicueta
Sanchez, Matic, Eriksen, Hazard
Costa, Kane

Subs: Courtois, Rose, Dier, Fabregas, Cazorla, Ozil, Austin

Reserve: Cech, Vertonghen, Coquelin, Bentaleb, Chadli, Downing, Giroud

That looks pretty much like what my London XI would be <ok>
Good shout on the subs too.
Though again, Chelsea bias and all that, I would have Courtois ahead of Lloris

Haha, I don't think Spurs and Chelsea fans will ever agree on the Lloris vs Courtois debate, I work with a Chelsea fan so each week there's an argument as to who pulled off the better save(s) and who's better overall.
 
Lloris
Ivanovic Kos Terry Azpilacueta(sp)
Matic
Sanchez Eriksen Hazard
Costa Kane

Edit - ooh, very close to SoS's team

Lloris hasn't been beaten from his own half by a thug, yet, so he gets it :)

Just call yourself "Spurm or Sex?" if you like mate <laugh>

It provided me with great ammunition this week, though the counter-argument was "you kept a clean sheet and Lloris didn't play, doesn't that say something?".

Logic doesn't always work. We kept a clean sheet without Lloris yes, but we also kept a clean sheet with Chiriches and 2 left backs playing
 
Really difficult to do teams like this without club bias. Some very tight calls such as the keepers and the striker. Spurs Matth obviously thinks it's not up for debate but obviously Costa has had an amazing season like Kane but Kane gets more plaudits as a result of being English, younger and has burst onto the scene. No Fabregas I'm struggling with though. Fabregas was close to the best player in the league for the first half and still is smashing assist stats.

Trying not to be biased I'll go with...

Lloris
Ivan Terry Reid Azpil
Matic Fabregas
Sanchez Eriksen Hazard
Kane

No sure why only 1 Arsenal player is getting in though despite them being 2nd. Just seems only Sanchez really stands out. Carzola and Giroud have had very good seasons as well though.

Arsenal haven't even had a consistent team selection for big chunks of the season, but have played well as a team overall.
Any player that you could point to for playing well for the season will have had calls to drop him from Arsenal fans at some point.
Even Sanchez has had his recent form questioned, having started brilliantly and scored a lot of goals.
Giroud was booed from the field in recent memory, with his performance against Monaco at the Emirates being particularly poor.

I'd also suggest that their better individuals are in direct competition with players having outstanding seasons.
Cazorla's been very good, but he's up against it, despite being fairly versatile.
They seem to have real problems keeping anyone fit for the whole campaign, too.
 
No one in our back 4 would really a deserve starting place in a London XI, after QPR we have the worst goals against record out of the top flight London sides. Had we not had a world class keeper in Hugo in goal, our goal record would probably be twice as bad. So many goals against us come from defensive mistakes, really ****ing winds me up as individually they're all good players but as a collective unit they're generally woeful.
 
Blimey, even when not on the obvious WUM this guy still writes drivel! :D
