Piers Morgan slams Arsenal fans for criticism of Gunners legends

Piers Morgan has slammed Arsenal supporters for criticising Gunners legends Tony Adams, Lee Dixon and Ian Wright.

The outspoken Gunners fan has been in relatively good form on Twitter in recent weeks after Arsenal hoisted themselves to the top of the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger’s side moved above second-placed Leicester City thanks to a 2-0 victory over promoted side Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.

And Morgan hit out at Arsenal supporters on social media who have been abusing the club’s legends Adams, Dixon and Wright.

I sometimes get pissed off at being abused by Arsenal fans on here. Then I see them also abusing Tony Adams, Ian Wright & Lee Dixon.

No greater Gooners than Wright, Adams & Dixon. Arsenal fans who abuse them are pathetic. #afc

Arsenal are level on points with Leicester City at the top of the table but lead the Foxes courtesy of their superior goal difference.

The north London side have lost four of their opening 19 Premier League games following defeats by West Ham United, Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion and Southampton so far this season.
