What's the funniest Arsenal moment in the PL era?

There was a period in Wenger's final years where they were extremely vulnerable to physical teams. Hilarity ensures whenever they come up against Bolton and Stoke.
Rory Delap used to destroy Arsenal with long throw ins. The state of this Arsenal team.
Ah yes long balls and long throws. Like garlic to vampires.
The late Cheick Tiote, such a shame. Also that is a top-level strike; if Scholes would have done it it would be up there with our all-time favourites.
A total collapse.
It was very funny as well.
Don't watch Arsenal on TV much. But I would say the Newcastle comeback was one where I laughed and laughed as the goals went in, in the 2nd half, one after other.
But I think 8-2 will be on the top. Regardless of the quality in the Arsenal team on that day, there were some brilliant goals from Rooney and Young especially.

It's not Arsenal sadly but I remember Boaz Myhill knocking it out for a corner rather than face Delap's throw-inAh yes long balls and long throws. Like garlic to vampires.
This is a really strong contender for me. What a laughing stock that club is.
Signing Silvestre from us
Going from a team of super strong brutes who could mix it with anyone, to a team of technical lightweights, seemingly overnight

Heres another, the utter panic buying after the 8-2 of Arteta/Mertesacker and Santos/Benyaoun and 2 of them ended up captaining the club afterwards. (And managing).
Not the funniest ever but has to be mentioned. Getting battered around by Bournemouth (should've been down about 5-0) a few seasons ago when they were desperately needing points for top 4. Giroud scores early in extra time and wastes 45 seconds doing a ridiculous scorpion kick celebration of the goal he'd scored the week before. Looked a complete prat and nothing exemplified Arsenal better to me than one of their most experienced players being more worried about the celebration he'd practiced in his mirror all week than getting the ball and trying to find a winner
