Van der Sar, Brown, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Rafael Da Silva, Gibson, O'Shea, Fabio Da Silva, Rooney, Hernandez- this team beating Arsenal 2-0 in the FA Cup in 2011
It was Øvrebø and his most dubious decision was to send Abidal off. The first two penalty shouts were daft, the two handballs are, as they always are, arguable. This myth will never die.
Jesus that midfield! Gibson and O'Shea in the middle and the twins on the wing!
Sir Alex Ferguson - what a manager! Results like that demonstrate just how successful he was at fielding a starting eleven that, regardless of weakness and a seeming lack of world-class talent in key positions, could compete and battle for results against any team. I think he's the best manager that football has ever seen. Wonder what the Arsenal starting eleven was that day? Another example of how much Wenger has deteriorated over the years.
Edit - This was the Arsenal XI.
01 Almunia
03 Sagna
06 Koscielny
20 Djourou
28 Gibbs
02 Diaby (Ramsey 72)
08 Nasri
15 Denilson (Chamakh 59)
19 Wilshere
23 Arshavin (Rosicky 72)
10 Van Persie
Not great but their midfield should still have been strong enough to nullify the one we put out that day!

Robin Friday was marked during the game by Mark Lawrenson, who so frustrated the Cardiff forward with his close attention that Friday waited for Lawrenson to attempt a slide tackle and then kicked him in the face.[11] After receiving a red card, Friday left the ground with the game still going on; according to legend, before leaving he broke into the Brighton dressing room and defecated in Lawrenson's kit bag.
This is made even better by the fact that Essandoh, who scored the winning goal, only joined Wycombe after Lawrie Sanchez appealed through Ceefax to find a fit, non cup-tied striker.
A weak midfield but in fairness; VDS, Vidic, Evra, Rooney and Hernandez were all top class.
Everyone forgetting that time Stefan Postma let one in between his legs on purpose?
Jimmy Lumsdens wiki page still makes me laugh
Ok, technically it happened off the pitch
It's easy to forget they lost to Stoke 6-1 just hours prior.

Benitez falling out with Alonso and trying to force him out of Liverpool because he wanted to replace him with Gareth Barry happened too!
Just read up on him. What a brilliant story, they should make a movie about the bloke.
That was him getting a new contract. He is such a clown.
