The former Gunners No.1 sparked a bitter war of words with the former chat-show host after labelling him “an incredibly pompous individual” for his comments following Arsenal’s terrible 3-1 loss to AS Monaco in the Champions League in mid-week.
“I would like to say this about Piers Morgan,” Wilson said on Talksport earlier this weel, via the Independent. “He claims to be an Arsenal fan, but if you’re a supporter of a club you have to be through thick, thin, laughter, smiles and tears. He has never been a proper fan.
Adding: “I see him on Twitter and he drives me mad. He’s an incredibly pompous individual and he has no understanding of what it is to be the manager of a football club. I can only tell you this about Arsene, and I am biased to a degree, but i’m not stupidly biased. You will not find any manager ever, more dedicated to doing his job than Arsene.
However, Morgan has angrily responded, setting out almost a manifesto of what he actually thinks being a ‘proper fan’ entails.

To me, a ‘proper’ fan is honest: praiseworthy when we do well, critical when we don’t. And unafraid of change re players/manager if needed.

A ‘proper’ fan loves the Club so much he/she is emotional, passionate, irrational & occasionally bonkers. Like Colin Firth in Fever Pitch.

A ‘proper’ fan doesn’t sit there enduring years of mediocrity in appreciative silence. They shout, scream & demand better.

A ‘proper’ fan expects more from a Club charging highest ticket prices in Europe than one FA Cup in ten years.

A ‘proper’ Arsenal fan is sick and tired of hearing that ‘4th place is a trophy’.

A ‘proper’ Arsenal fan is tired of the Wenger-Forever brigade & their nostalgic, rose-tinted spectacles glossing over a decade of failure.

A ‘proper’ Arsenal fan wants to win the Premier League again so much it kills us, not accept endless pathetic excuses. Are you THAT fan?

So insult me all you like @BobWilsonBWSC if it keeps your friend Arsene happy. But don’t you dare say I’ve ‘never been a proper’ fan.’

We thought we might add one to the list too Piers, a ‘proper fan’ perhaps allows his fellow supporters to have view points different points-of-view, sometimes polar opposite, but realises in the end everyone supports the club and wants what is best for it.
