Ex-Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, has hit out at the fans of the club for their treatment of Arsene Wenger after their 3-2 defeat away at Stoke City last month.
The long-serving manager was booed and heckled at a Stoke train station before returning back to London and the footage went viral around the world, leaving most Arsenal fans disgusted, and Henry was just as annoyed.
The Gunners legend, who has joined Sky Sports as a pundit, was asked about the way Wenger is being treated, and he classed it as a joke and out of order.
“I thought it was a joke,” he said.
“You can be upset, I totally understand that. But when I saw what happened at Stoke I was like, ‘that’s totally unnecessary’.
“Fans do have a voice, I totally understand that, but what I saw after the Stoke City game was out of order.
“You can express that you are upset, but to do it in that way was a bit too much.
“But in the game at the moment, unfortunately that’s the way it is.”
Henry did have some good words to say though regarding his former-club, and it was about new star-man, Alexis Sanchez.
“I am trying to think if there has been a better signing in the last five or six years,” he added.
“Arsenal were looking for a player who could deliver on a daily basis and they have found one.
“He sees the game brilliantly as you saw on Sunday. He doesn’t need a lot of opportunities to put the ball in the net and that is very important.
“He is always going to score goals but it is his all-round game I am impressed with. That has no price. I, like any Arsenal fan, was waiting to have a player like him. Finally, we have one.”
