Piers Morgan tells us what makes a 'proper' Arsenal fan

Celebrity Arsenal “fan” Piers Morgan has gone on a mini Twitter rant to let everyone know how a “proper” Arsenal fan should act.

The British journalist was responding to criticism from Arsenal legend Bob Wilson, who hit out at Morgan for being a “pompous individual” and claimed he had “never been a proper fan”.

Morgan is known for his outrageous opinions on Arsenal, and is hugely critical of both the team and Arsene Wenger. He is never behind the team when things are going badly, but loves to jump on the bandwagon when things are going well.

How he is surprised that a real Gooner has questioned his support is beyond me, but he has responded with a tirade of ridiculous tweets telling everyone what it means to be a “proper 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.'

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' Arsenal fan is sick of hearing that 'nobody' can replace a manager who has clearly lost his magic touch.

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?

Bob Wilson is absolutely right, and Morgan has no right to tell anyone how to show support. He is a hollow fan, and Arsenal would be better off without him.

Ricky Gervais took the opportunity to take a swipe at him, with a simple solution to Morgan’s problem.
