Do Morgan’s Mourinho comments show he’s NOT an Arsenal fan?

Every Arsenal fans has felt a certain amount of frustration at things that have happened with the team or the club in general, especially during the trophy drought after the Gunners left Highbury and were paying off the cost of building the new stadium.

Arsenal have now ended that long wait for a trophy and lifted the Community Shield three times in four years after first winning the FA cup at the end of the previous season, with the trio or triumphs at Wembley also making our club and Arsene Wenger record breakers in the famous old cup competition.

At the same time, though, you could say that we have looked further away than ever from winning the Premier League title or getting any closer to the Champions League, so after last season saw us drop into the Europa League for the first time in two decades the frustration of many fans is understandable.

That does not mean that I agree with a so-called Arsenal fan having nothing but negative things to say about the Gunners, especially when it comes from the smug mouth of Piers Morgan and seems to glorify our EPL rivals Man United and their insufferable manager Jose Mourinho, as Morgan’s comments reported by Metro have done.

Morgan has had plenty to say about Wenger in recent years, none of it good, and that is his prerogative I suppose but with his latest snippet I think he has gone too far and is not even being an Arsenal fan at all.

He said that Mourinho had said to him recently after a chance meeting, ‘I feel so sorry for you Arsenal fans. I have some very good friends who love Arsenal like you do and they are just as depressed as you about the club. They suffer so badly, it is a terrible thing to observe.

‘Mourinho then burst out laughing. “Terrible… hahahahaha.”

‘”How the hell is Arsene Wenger still in his job?” I [Morgan] asked. “No idea,” Mourinho smirked, “but I hope he stays in it for a very long time…”

Do me a favour Piers, if you love Mourinho and his new club so much, why don’t you forget about Arsenal and start supporting Man Utd? Plenty of glory hunters from down south do so.

  1. Morgan and Mourinho are just a piece of rubbish who cannot shout up , I don’t think Morgan is a fan of arsenal , he is two faces , One think i like is when Mourinho starts opening his mouth talking bad things about Wenger and Arsenal his team starts flopping he has been with Man united for two seasons what did he achieve ? Nothing only Europa he couldn’t reach top four last season. We will see season is still long Man united won’t be invincible with their draw, Last season he did not win against arsenal , one draw and got beaten 2-0 i wonder what is his problem, Him and Morgan must shut up and mind their own business, Both of them i never like them, Man United won’t win UEFA IS GOOD THEY MUST KEEP THEMSELVES BUSY AND LATER STAGE they will get knocked out either by Madrid / Barcelona may be PSG. I don’t see any English teams winning Uefa. Morgan go and join Man united tired of your gossip with your Jose Mourinho. all english teams got easy groups but at the end they will be knocked out !!!!!!! I hate Jose Mourinho with passion. Why i likes to talk about arsen Wenger and arsenal he got his club to mind.

    1. Stop being so bitter. They both spoke the truth. Many people/pundits/managers have said similar things. This is the problem with you fanatics. You can’t see what is actually happening in front of you. Its horrible. Fans should be trying to bring usmanov in. Look at him like a god, trust me he will come running. These billionaires love to be seen as messiahs! Make him a hero. Wear shirts with misname on them. Carry posters with his face on them. Make a massive flag with “Usmanov come save arsenal” trust me that will make a difference.

    2. No football club wan win UEFA… The champions league of course. And just to compare, what has wenger done over thefts decade? Look at what jose has done.. Wenger had four years with big money to rebuild the club, what has he done? Look at our wage bill and look at the amount of money we have spent over the last four years. We could have easily landed kante, matic from benefica etc: So Dont be so bitter. Mourinho may not have the manners that arsene has, but arsene is 70 and does not believe in competition anymore i think. Mourinho on the other hand is fiercely competitive, all competitive managers take digs at each other.Mourinho is a tactician you cannot deny it. He revolutionised modern european football with his 5 man midfield and single striker formation. We would all gladly have mourinho at arsenal at this point. I’m sure of it..

      1. “Wenger has four years with big money what are he done”? It is either you are brainless or blind. In that 4 years he won 4 fa cup and 3 mourinho’s cup. If you want to argue, argue with facts and figures and not emotions. Not acknowledging his achievements because of your hatred for him make you as deluded and in denial has him. Whether you believe it or not fans like are also responsible for our problems by over blowing our issue. Do arsenal had prerogative right to win EPL every season ? Even if they spend 100s of million pounds ? .No team has. Man City has being spending 150m plus for the pass for years, they don’t have a community shield to show for it . We didn’t hear anything from Morgan, Merson, Carragher, Iwright etc about them. You lot are damaging the image of this club more with your hatred for Wenger. l want him gone as well as but he earned my respect for what he has done.

    1. This is the behaviour of a true fan. Bow down people you ungrateful moaners.

      Let’s clear our Magnificent Emirates from the pest inflicted fans and support the team and the manager with joy and fresh air.

      ONE ARSENE WENGER.

  3. Piers Morgan is a boorish, narcissistic, fatuous twat.

    He does his very best to undermine the team every chance he gets. You’d be forgiven for suspecting he’s a Chelsea fan at heart.

    If anyone remembers we was predicting a loss vs. Chelsea in the FA cup and going on about how Wenger had lost the team and how the team was utterly hopeless. We went on to have a brilliant win despite his comments.

  4. I don’t know Piers Morgan, so I don’t know who or what he is. But in those quotes I don’t see any glorification of other clubs.
    I do see very critical comments aimed at Wenger, and why that should disqualify anyone from being a fan, I don’t understand.
    You could just as well say, that anyone supporting Wenger is actually supporting a further decline for Arsenal, and how can you be an Arsenal fan, if you support decline for the club????

      1. @Taxi4Wenger: I love that name but a Ferrari4Wenger would have been more appropriate as we want him sped out of that place as fast as possible. A taxi will take longer!

  5. Remember that only 2 teams can compete for the community shield: 1) FA Cup winners
    2) EPL Winners or runners up if the winners also are the FA Cup holders. Yes you could argue that these two teams fought throughout the season for the right to compete for this trophy but honestly I wouldn’t really classify the Community Shiels as an out and out Trophy! It is what it says on the lid, ‘A Charity Cup’. Therefore to say tat we under Wenger had won it a few times is a misnomer. The ones we wanted most have always eluded us- EPL & CL!
    Without any voice speaking against Wenger, he’ll go on and do what pleases him at Arsenal. Morgan is that voice whether you like it or not! I’d however love to hear Steve Bould’s side of the story as he will have lots to say about the in-workings at the club. He doesn’t say much because he’s been muscled by Wenger. He just sits there with the same frustration etched all over his face. We have suffered enough and it’s time Wenger carried the can!!!

    1. Steve Bould is a gutless lackey and nothing more.
      Sits and does nothing even when we are getting hammered.
      I could not care less what he has to say…

      1. That means you haven’t been watching the two closely. Once Bould tried to show emotions by rushing to the touch lines but Wenger physically restrained him. He made it clear then to all that he was the only one that had the right to be either upset or show elations with the players. From then on Bould stopped trying to either celebrate with or moan at the players. We shall see how Wenger tries to deal with a more independent and vocal Jens Lehmann!

        Wenger is a control freak; you must know that by now. That’s why I believe Bould will have much to say in his autobiography! Got it now?

  6. This website considers the Community Shield a trophy?
    Its no wonder that Arsenal are such a shower of sh*t when they have such unambitious and easily pleased “fans”
    And its no wonder that he has remained in post for so long, just stumbling through each season and achieving nothing when so many are pleased with nothing.
    Say what you want about Mourinho the man is a winner.
    And that is what Arsenal needs…

  7. Gooners are suffering at the moment because we have a manager that is bankrupt of inspiration, and no longer has anything to offer in respect of moving the club back to a position where we can look forward to winning the Premier League, or playing in a Champions League Final.

    Wenger would have lost his job at any top European club by now, so it’s incredible that he is still employed by Arsenal. I don’t like the way Morgan and Moureen come across in the media, but I also find it impossible to disagree with what they have said.

    Is anybody really that pleased about winning a few Community Shields? Really???

    1. There are some remarkably dumb people in this world. Thanks for helping me understand that. 3 cups in the last 4 seasons is altogether a decent return. If you bear in mind that the mighty Spurs have zilch in the last 9 seasons and the best team in the world if you believe the media (Liverpool) have lots of statistics to prove the media wrong and zero for the last 5 seasons and still waiting on a PL trophy. Unfortunately, people like yourself appear to have been brainwashed into believing that the crisis club is AFC and the beating stick is red hot.
      if AW will be here for 2 more years or more, stop the moaning and get behind the team. Or you will not be missed.

      Earth is full. Go home.

      1. The FA Cup cannot be talked in the same way as the Premiership or Champions League.
        That is where Arsenal should be judged and for the last god knows how many years Arsenal have delivered nothing.
        At the end he will be judged on these – starting Sunday with a very difficult trip to Chelsea where we will lose because we don’t have the spine for it.
        Then it will be played five lost three.
        De Boer lost his job after four defeats and wasn’t given a chance.
        Why should the perennial failure not suffer the same fate?
        Putting the manager before the club is not supporting the club is it?

  8. I would have said the same thing as Piers Morgan. Just becauae ai love Arsenal doesnt mean to say I am deluded. Moremonio is entitled to say what he did about Wenger and also express his feelings for us. If ww were happy as fans forums and groups like rhis wouldnt exist.

  9. There is no need to bother looking for more reasons why Arsenal are not doing well. ‘Fans’ who are part of the problem but think they are helping out with their negative talk. Eternally demanding for Wenger’s head on a charger and just generally hating on the man.

    When will these people get it that they are a huge part of the problem?

    Sooner or later Wenger will go. All that will remain is the club, and what is left of it by your razor sharp tongues.

  10. I believe Morgan will be proven quite correct at the end of the season.
    Arsenal will be lucky if they finish within 20 points of the champions.
    Everyone knows this except the blind and brainless who still support the current regime. Wenger is so far out of touch with the modern world of football its beyond funny now.
    His brainless and laughably outdated principles are costing Arsenal so much…

    1. I can’t stand Mourinho as a person; however there is a reason that he is sought after as a manager of high profile clubs – he has a record as a “winner”.
      As for Piers Morgan he has a long record as an Arsenal supporter and has put his money where his mouth is, being a long term shareholder of the club. Therefore he is entitled to his opinion, as others are to theirs.

  11. No. He is passionate about Arsenal and deeply hurt whenever the gunners lose
    especially embarrassing losses to their main rivals.
    THank god the gunners are relegated to the 2nd tier
    Euro competition.In view of Celtic’s crushing defeat,it is somewhat
    a relief the gunners aint in the cl.
    I hope Morgan will speak up more for long suffering fans.

  12. I can complain so much about my club. I will criticize it, I will want manager sacked, players benched, will want some average players to be replaced. Will even call player, manager and owners crap.
    However, never in my life will I ridicule my club with any outsider, let alone Jose.

  13. As a true Arsenal fan, I have huge respect for Wenger and what he has done for arsenal Fc, but the problem is that Wenger does not cover himself with glory and I even think he doesn’t care. The latest transfer window is just a clear indication that Wenger doesn’t give a damn about our pains and pride

  14. I’ve read some amazingly deluded comments this past few days with each one making me more sad about the prospect of our club..the fact anyone can still defend a man with 3 league titles in 2o something odd years for a “big team” like arsenal is truly mind blowing but I guess we are entitled to our own opinions. but please do not come here making stupid blind excuses about a man who would be remembered more for his in ability to zip up his jacket than he would be for what he gets paid fortune for every year. hate mourinho all you want an God knows I don’t like him too, but that man is a winner nd piers saw wenger for the fraud he his before most of us here.
    truly truly remarkable most of us think the way we do

  15. Every team wants to be winning every trophy out there, for sure.
    Since when did the F.A cup become such a despicable , unworthy trophy to win.
    How does a manager with no imagination, no idea of the modern game, inability to get something off his players win three of these in four years.
    I am African, n it seems to me Europeans are beginning to believe in black magic more than we, Africans do.
    Does Wenger need to do much better, of course.
    But to keep beating on the man as if he is a dunce, beats me.
    When was the last time Liverpool won the EPL, yet the press makes you think that every year all these other clubs win trophies. If Liverpool wins the FA cup, I guess their coach will considered a genius.
    Arsenal wins it, and everyone goes ” tsssp”, like it means nothing.
    How do you attract players when they see you beating on the ones that just gave a trophy a few months ago.
    My two cents.

    1. You’re right about a lot of things you say but the three biggest clubs as far as the media are concerned are Manchester United, liverpool and believe it or not Newcastle.The media, especially Sky Sports would like the Premier League fought out between these three teams every year if they could get their way and ironically they were the three teams who had the worst hooligan problems in the dark years of the 70s and the 80s of all the clubs in the country

  16. Delusional people amaze me. If you are not a Wenger fan than you are not a Arsenal fan. But if you not a Kroenke fan than you are an Arsenal fan. As far as i understand it they are both part of the problem here along with the Red Army And BSM. If you want to see the rot disappear, then disband the BSM and Red Army and problem solved. The BSM and Red Army is under the control of the Club management.

  17. Yes every arsenal fan wanted trophies unfortunately it is not coming (trophies that most people want)however,winning fa three times in four years is something to be happy about.Am also not happy with what some people will come out and start making comparisons there are clubs coming into the champion leaque after along time and domestically haven’t won even community shield,yet considered better than arsenal.yesterday somebody said the big boys are in yhe champ leaque and arsenal in Europa there is no correlation at all why because we had big teams who are now in cl played Europa so no big deal.I just feel critisizing Wenger and not appreciating his efforts in the arsenal is rather very unfortunate and a conspiracy of many fans

  18. Why is anybody listening to anything that Piers Morgan says? He makes his living saying controversial comments. You can bag and tag him in the same batch as that other odious person Katie Hopkins. Both have been sacked in their time for their extreme views.

  19. I hate Mourinho, I hate he’s attitude, I hate he’s dropped lip when he does interviews, in fact I hate him so much I turn him off every time he appears on the screen but him and Piers are 100% right. WENGER OUT asap

  20. I’ll tell you something else, I’ve had many a conversation with Piers Morgan outside the old main entrance at Highbury and I can tell you he has love and a passion for Arsenal that lot of you wouldn’t understand
