WENGER ... plan
ARSENE WENGER has a radical solution for dealing with
abusive fans. He says the culprits should be filmed and the
results shown to their families.
Wenger has thrown his full weight behind his former defensive star
Sol Campbell who argued that footballers should not be subject to
vile abuse from the stands. Campbell was tormented by Spurs fans
after he joined the Gunners and will be in action for Portsmouth
tonight against Wengers Premiership leaders.
The former England centre-half spoke out after Tottenham visited
Fratton Park 11 days ago and he suffered more taunts. Wenger who
has been on the receiving end himself particularly from Tottenham
supporters said: Sol has a big point. Why should we not be
respected just because we are on the pitch? I agree completely
with him. Most of it is abusive. But why do people get away with
it? Because they are among a mass of people. "I personally have a
long and heavy experience of it. The best idea is to film them and
then show the DVD to their family at home. That is the way to deal
with it.
They are entitled to an opinion. They can say to the manager you
are useless, but you cannot say you are a f****** b******.
