When it comes to total footballing humiliation, this is the epitome. In a show of defiance that best resembles the stubbornness of Arsène Wenger, the Frenchman went to Old Trafford in the midst of an injury crisis and tried to play ATTACKING football.

A starting XI that had never played together before were sent out to the most intimidating stadium in England and told to take on the best team in the league. What followed was a game that Arsenal fans will never ever live down.

Eight-two. Eight goals to the reply of two. A rampant Wayne Rooney scored his 6^th hat trick of his career, as the Premier League champions ran roughshod over a makeshift Gunners side. This game made United fans understand they were superior to their classmates and reminded Arsenal fans that they would always be the butt of the joke.
