Three Arsenal Legends Honoured with Statues

Arsenal celebrity fan Piers Morgan and Gunners legend Ian Wright feel they're in the bad books of Arsene Wenger.

Wright interviewed Morgan for Absolute Radio this week and recalled meeting with Wenger recently.

"I don’t think Wenger reads it (my column), but I’ve got to say, Piers, when I did go there the other day for the 125th, it was the coldest. The handshake, when I took my hand away, I thought I’d just touched Mr Freeze," said Wright.

Morgan also said: "You know, I used to get on very well with Arsene, he doesn’t like criticism, and not many managers do, and the reality is that I’d rather be honest than pretend.

And I think it’s unacceptable for Arsenal a club of this stature, who has for all those years under Wenger consistently won trophies, I felt when the rules of the game changed in the sense of Abramovich and all these foreigners coming in, for Wenger to put his head in the sand and say ‘We’re not going to be in this game any more’ was to admit defeat, and actually you can’t do that.

"And Arsenal are not poor, Arsenal are making a lot of money in this new stadium. They have tens, maybe hundreds of millions to spend, and the reality is they don’t want to spend it yet and they should be made to, because they’re answerable to the fans. The fans pay their hard-earned cash week in, week out to watch that team, and it’s not good enough to say ‘We don’t have the money’, because actually we do."
