ARSENAL CTI know this is Arsenal heavy but I might be biased. I avoided putting Modric for obvious reasons. toughest choice was Dawson/Vermaelen. Van der Vaart was also close.

maybesAre you joking !? Van der Vaart for Arteta and Vermaelen for Dawson, no doubt

Ros54sMichael Dawson ahead of Thomas Vermaelen!? Not a chance. Thomas Vermaelen is the best centre-back in North London, and there's absolutely no doubt about it.
I'd probably choose Rafael van der Vaart ahead of Mikel Arteta, too. Rafael van der Vaart offers a lot of versatility as he can operate as a CM, CAM, LW/RW or a CF and therefore offers the team plenty.
Other than that, I'd say it's a fair representation of football in North London.

Joe423Modric is superior to Arteta any day of the week for me, even if his head is in the wrong place.

ARSENAL CTYes i agree modric is superior but I feel like it would be wrong for him to be included

SanzAssou-Ekotto over Andre Santos for me.
I'd also definitely have Vermaelen over Dawson, however i'd be tempted to have Dawson over Mertesacker.
And yeah, Van der Vaart would be over Arteta although i don't think either are quite as good as they're cracked up to be. Both are a bit inconsistent. I'd have gone with Wilshere ahead in place of Arteta and Modric deep, if you were picking the Croat.
Sandro could push Song for a place if he has a run of games to show what he can do, i reckon.
