Piers Morgan’s best #wengerout moments – in tweets
Published:
Odds are currently EVS that Wenger will leave Arsenal at the end of the season and opinions are mixed about the move amongst loyal fans. One particular Gooner hasn’t held back about his opinion of the Arsenal manager though.
It’s fair to say Piers Morgan is pretty vocal about his opinions on Twitter and his most recent blasts have been focused on Arsene Wenger, the manager of his beloved Arsenal. But how did he get from this:
My final word on Arsenal tonight: There’s only one Arsene Wenger.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 17, 2011
To this:
Wenger must be sacked after this.
He is now ruining this club. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 18, 2017
Obviously a lot has changed. That first tweet came after a 2-1 win for Arsenal over Barcelona back in 2011. The second after a 3 – 1 defeat by West Brom. With the increasing support for the #WengerOut campaign, Piers is hardly the only frustrated and disappointed Arsenal fan.

Over the weekend, a 2 – 2 draw against Man City left the Gunners at 6th place in the table. Not exactly the best result, but would holding off one of the best teams in the league start to soften Piers up a bit?
6th.
18pts behind Chelsea.
11pts behind Spurs.
‘Only one team in London.’ #WengerOUT— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 2, 2017
Ah, guess not.
It’s not like this is anything new though. Morgan has been criticising Wenger for some time, despite his peppering of compliments here and there. Piers joined Twitter on 16 Nov 2010. 43 days later came his first tweet of advice for the manager.
Arsenal won’t win the title without a class goalkeeper and centre back, which every fan’s been urging Wenger to buy all year.

Pretty tame to be fair, but let’s take a look at some of his more recent tweets after his anger has had a few years to build.
Even he can’t watch any more. #WengerOUT pic.twitter.com/2CduSQ8DJx

That nearly feels like a bit of sympathy from Piers Morgan there. Nearly.
I don’t want to hear Wenger making any excuses today.
There’s nothing to be said.
We were f***ing terrible. End.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 18, 2017
Ouch.
Unsurprisingly, Piers was pretty angry after Arsenal received a 5 – 1 thrashing from Bayern Munich (10 – 2 on aggregate).
How can he NOT resign or be sacked after this?
This is utter humiliation. #WengerOUT— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 7, 2017
More chance of my pet terrapin being named new Barcelona manager than Wenger, and my terrapin’s been dead 43 years.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 8, 2017
No true Arsenal fan can continue to stand by Wenger.
Last night’s abject humiliation has to be the end of a great era for our club. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 8, 2017
Dear God, is this what he’s reduced to boasting about?
Wenger’s sounding pathetic now. https://t.co/cwirjzPACP— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 9, 2017
Well, that was a pretty sound defeat. Who wouldn’t be angry? Maybe we can find something nice Morgan said after Arsenal’s last win against a team that isn’t non-league. For that we have to go a little further back to Arsenal’s 2 – 0 win over Hull in February.
He was a bit busy after a US TV appearance and arguing with people about Trump and JK Rowling, but he still found time to insult Wenger and Beckham.
Come off it Ollie, Wenger’s past it & Beckham’s a cynical fraud. https://t.co/dUmRb9afSx
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 11, 2017
Not to worry. What about Arsenal’s 5 – 0 victory over Southampton in the FA Cup? Well, no, he decided to criticise the FA Cup instead and not mention the game. But he was straight back into it a few days later.
I am planning a protest march against Wenger tomorrow.
He is abusing my human rights as an Arsenal fan. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 31, 2017
Maybe we’ll give up on finding a compliment. Instead, here’s a few more examples of his choice words for Wenger over the years.
‘This is the best squad I’ve ever had’ – Arsene Wenger. #clown #AFC

Wenger just zipped up his coat in one fluent movement. Astonishing. #NLD
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 6, 2016
Zinedine Zidane’s won more Champions Leagues in 5 months than Arsène Wenger’s won in 19 years.

DEFINITION OF A FARCE:
Blaming the fact you haven’t won PL for 11yrs on money limitations. Then Leicester win it. #WengerOUT— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 14, 2016
Media finally waking up to the reality of Wenger’s 11-yr con trick. Excuses all run out, same old problems. #afc

Wenger’s ruined my Christmas. #afc

Yes, yes, I know Wenger built a nice new stadium.
I built a nice new shed in my garden. Do I get a trophy?— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 4, 2015

I just paid £2.30 for a coffee at Starbucks.
I thus spent more than Wenger today. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 1, 2015
In France, they’ve guillotined people for less than this. #WengerOut
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 6, 2014
Arsenal fans still backing Wenger are a major part of our demise too. Just a bunch of deluded ostriches in rose-tinted Ray-Bans. #WENGEROUT
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 18, 2013
Wenger’s the mate in the pub with the bulging wallet who never buys a round. #afc #Tightwad
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 16, 2013
Wenger exuding the air on Sky just then of a man who’s just been told he’s got 90 minutes to live. Encouraging.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 19, 2013
The worse we play, the more annoying I always find Wenger’s coat.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 13, 2013
I want a ban on Wenger having more than 2 moans in press conferences. Guy’s turning into a French version of Alf Garnett.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 25, 2013
Amazing, some #Arsenal fans berating me for criticising Wenger tactics. He’s not the Pope – he’s fallible. As this game shows.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 31, 2012
Bet Wenger read my tweets to the players at half time. Only rational explanation. #Arsenal
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 29, 2012
If Wenger makes one single excuse, I’m going to…..well, I’ve no idea what I’ll do, but it won’t be pretty. #Arsenal
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 20, 2011
Piers Morgan’s view on Wenger is pretty clear, but how long does Wenger have left? Will this be his last season, or will he hold on till next year? Are ten games enough for Arsenal to change Morgan’s opinion?
If you think you’ve got a good idea on when the Gunners will have a new manager, you can now put some money down with us.
Wonder if Piers will put any money on?
