In recent seasons, arguably
Arsene Wenger’s biggest online critic is former Daily Mirror editor Piers
Morgan.
Thanks to Morgan’s immense
following on Twitter – now over 6 million – his thoughts on Arsene Wenger and
the current state of Arsenal are well known.
Morgan has called for
Arsene Wenger to leave the club for many years and was publicly bewildered when
the Frenchman was given a new two-year deal last summer.
On Sunday, Morgan posted
his regular column in the Mail on Sunday and included details of a chance
meeting with Jose Mourinho in Harrods.
Jose Mourinho asks Piers
Morgan for a photo
Piers Morgan stopped Jose
Mourinho and they chatted for 20 minutes, according to the Good Morning Britain
host.
Perhaps the most surprising
thing is that Mourinho asked Morgan for a photo.
The exchange between Morgan
and Mourinho went as follows:
Mourinho said: “I feel so
sorry for you Arsenal fans,” he chuckled, not looking remotely sorry. “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.”
Morgan then asked: “How the
hell is Arsene Wenger still in his job?”
“No idea,” Mourinho
smirked, “but I hope he stays in it for a very long time…”
“You have a brilliant team
now,” Morgan sighed.
“I am happy,” Mourinho
smiled. “Very happy.”
