For me it's the 8-2. To concede 8 goals is amateurish. And the way our players grinned and joked with the manc afterwards was appalling. If my Sunday league team conceded 8 there would be a punch up in the changing room afterwards.
Do you manage a team then DB???
Do you want a job?....£9 mill a year and you get to go toe to toe with the special one on the touch line.
Nah, never managed. Just a player. A few lads on my team manage kids' teams and I've helped out at a few training sessions. Been tempted to take on managing my son's team as his current coach is a bit shite. But I wouldn't have the time to do the job justice tbh. I'm probably over-qualified for Arsene's job!
Does he sit on his arse the entire game, giving no instructions at all to his team; getting up only to abuse the referee and flap his arms like a child throwing a tantrum?
How about the 3-1 Monaco defeat. That has to be up there for me. The best chance we've had at progressing to the next stage in years and we fucked it up with a typical dire, gutless and naive performance, summed up by Chamberlain scoring a get out of jail goal and then losing the ball minutes later for them to put the tie to bed.
The last NLD I was at should be on that list. 2 - 0 up at half time in our place, taking the piss on the pitch, looked like it would end up 6-0 and we lost 2-3. They hadn't won at our place in something like 17 years up to that day. Fucking abysmal.
Had a lucky escape that day too. Had to walk around the stadium to meet the lads and like a fucking JCL I walked right through the police horse line and down past the gates as they opened and spilled out literally thousands of scum. Had a few pints on me, was in appalling humour and decided "fuck them I'm not running" and started to walk through them like an idiot, red and white scarf plain for all to see. Luckily they were too busy looking up at the bar area above the gates and taking the piss out of the few punters up there drowning their sorrows and didn't notice they had a human being in their midst. What probably saved me from getting battered to death was the quite sexy female cop on a horse the size of a fucking bus that plodded up beside me and yelled "move back the way you came - now!" and pointed back to where her fellow plods were. I did so. Quickly.

I think you'll find you meant "under"
Was waiting for that one - can't believe it took you that long!
But then I'd imagine time passes differently for you Ewoks!
The supposed gulf in class and the fact we couldn't do anything over 120 minutes with a decent team out there means it really is the most embarrassing result in Wenger's reign, pound for pound.

In the 15 games since City at home in December by my reckoning we have not put in one convincing performance - and barely a decent one. Even putting our propensity for bottling any title opportunities aside, the woeful performances in the last 3 days haven't exactly come out of the blue.
Changing my vote to that. Useless, spineless fucking *word censored*. The manager's shit, yeah everyone knows, but for the love of fuck at least try you millionaire pansies. AND THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS FUCKING TRYING HE TAKES OFF. FUCKINGCUNTINGFDJKL;FDSAJLK;FDSJKL;SDAVN
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.
