Forgot that one...yeah, that was terrible.

Reminds me how carefree some of our fans are when using toilets on trains :gus: :oops: :lol:

Wilson wrote:The 2009 fa cup semi-final v Chelsea. Arshavin had just been bought, and was on fire in his first year. But in the cup semi-final v Chelsea, Arshavin was inexplicably dropped for Diaby on the left wing. Asked after the game why Arshavin didnt start, Wenger said he wanted to see how Diaby coped on the left wing. So basically experimenting in a cup semi-final v Chelsea when the winner was going to play Everton in the final.

He has that much arrogance he tries these stunts.
Adebayor disgusted me during that game. Drogba at the other end ran himself into the ground all game and got the winner through sheer hard work (and diabolical goalkeeping, as was the norm). Adebayor lazed about putting in zero effort.

Pretty sure you as the OP can edit it. We mods can of course.

Feel free to ! There have been some other pretty shambolic ones mentioned on here, namely the 4-0 debacle against Dad's Army Milan that I'd somehow to managed to forget in the one year we actually managed to win our group

Some excellent other suggestions too include Fabianski's one man show away at Blackburn and the 10 minute suicide at Wigan

Thanks for the memories chaps - we are truly blessed to have a manager who has overseen so many proud moments

The thing that makes the 6-0 against the chavs the worst is that I honestly think mourinho told his players to let up in the second half to spare wenker any more humiliation ! But there have been so many its shocking when you actually take count and we have barca away to add next week

How about the time we list up at OT in the FA Cup when Fergie fielded a team with 8 defenders and no strikers?

Has to be up there. Shambolic, demotivated, clueless performance against a team 14th in the PL. And our lot supposedly on their way to making FA Cup history. Absolute shambles. :roll: :oops:

You could make a legends list out of this season alone:

* Only team to lose by more than a goal to the most shocking Chav team of the last decade
* Lost to them again at home, extending the record to over 10 hours without a single PL goal scored v them
* Playing at home to Brent's Liverpool and watching them piss on us for 80 minutes despite missing their 2 best players
* Becoming the first team of any description in a decade to lose a CL game to Zagreb
* Becoming the first English team to lose to Olympiakis at home
* Getting tanked 5-1 in Munchen
* Losing to ManYoo's fifth team with YTS kid up front poaching 2
* Getting destroyed 3-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in a game where a player injured himself as Wenker didn't get him to warm up properly :coffeespit:
* Getting hammered 4-0 at Southampton
* Getting a footballing lesson at home to a West Ham side playing a 16 year-old debutant in midfield
* Going to Pulis' WBA who couldn't buy a win and managing just one shot on target in defeat
* Getting beaten with ease at home to Swansea reserves
* Having Watford fans chant "there's only one Arsene Wenger" as they humiliate us at home in the cup

*** TBC: Losing 8-0 to Barca on aggregate

Wow.

This has for sure been our worst season in TO1AW's reign. And that's saying something because there have been some BAD ones.

Not sure what year it was but how about us getting done by the Mancs I think it was 5-2 and Lee Sharpe banged in a hatrick, even in those days there was some fella threatening to lay out fans that were drifting away from the North Bank a couple of minutes early, just imagine what he would be doing to the fans that drift away from the bowl 15 minutes early? Those were the days.

8 - 2.

8 - 2?

Eight-fucking-two!?


Wanger should have been sacked immediately after the final whistle. Simply the most embarrassing result ever recorded, surpassing all his other pathetic surrenders in its monstrous ineptitude.

Honourable mentions to all the others that I can't be arsed to list; you know the ones, as there are two or three a fucking season now.
