Keown tells Piers Morgan off…

The BBC’s Premier League show hosted an interesting debate surrounding Arsene Wenger’s tenure at Arsenal as he celebrates 20 years in charge of the club.

Arsenal legends Martin Keown, John Hartson, and Ian Wright were present alongside journalists Piers Morgan and Amy Lawrence – all with a common warmth towards the club.

The debate was split in half, which seems ideal when discussing Wenger’s regime given the stark contrast between his first 10 years in charge compared to the last decade.

When talk shifted to the recent times of turbulence, Piers was inevitably the most outspoken one – though he met his match in Martin Keown.

“Piers, you do not talk with any real respect for Arsene Wenger,” Keown told the MailOnline editor.

“While he’s in tenure he decides, I’m afraid, not you! He decides when he goes.”

The awkwardness around the table could certainly be felt and it took Gabby Logan’s skills as the host to take the debate into a different direction.

This week is a time of celebration, the time for reflection will have to be on pause until Wenger departs.
