Piers Morgan insults Beckham over supporting Wenger
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:47 PM
Celebrity Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan was fuming after David Beckham criticized the Gunners supporters’ protest against Arsene Wenger following their FA Cup exit.
The north Londoners were thrown out of the FA Cup by Watford on Sunday afternoon and Arsene Wenger’s position at the Emirates has been facing fierce questions from some portions of the club’s fan base.
Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for 19 long years and the club are all set to finish this season empty-handed after a poor run of form despite once in a position to win the Premier League.
The FA Cup remained only firewall preventing Wenger from renewed scrutiny and now that firewall has collapsed after the latest defeat. It leaves a serious question mark over Arsene Wenger and his future at Emirates. Is he still the right person to guide the team?
Many fans don’t even want to discuss it, and while he is still clearly a good manager, his failings are clear to see and are for sure harming the club.
However, Beckham showed his support behind Wenger yesterday when he responded to an Instagram post which asked whether a banner asking the French manager to leave Arsenal was disrespectful or truthful.
The former England skipper labelled the supporter’s sign “disgraceful” and alleged the fans of attention seeking, which ultimately caused Piers Morgan to tag Beckham a “jumped-up tattooed twerp” for “attacking Arsenal fans.”
Morgan went on to post a series of tweets on the matter and even claimed Arsenal supporters are “perfectly entitled” to air their opinions on Wenger’s position as he thinks fans represent the “only true loyalty” left in the sport.
Still fuming at David Beckham attacking Arsenal fans.
Who the hell does the jumped-up tattooed twerp think he is?— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 14, 2016
Beckham played for 6 clubs. Wenger’s played for & managed 8 clubs.
I’ve supported the same club for 45 years. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 14, 2016
Only true loyalty left in football is from fans to their clubs.
That’s why they’re perfectly entitled to do this. pic.twitter.com/f6qbU14Itk— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 14, 2016
The Gunners have won only two of their last nine league fixtures and are right now languishing in third place. They have not been able to take their chances throughout the campaign, failed to assert themselves when openings have come in matches and beyond
Arsenal will play at Barcelona in the Champions League on tonight in order to must overturn a two-goal deficit if they are to progress to the last eight.
