Speaking to the BBC's Football Focus programme, Wenger, who has been in the management seat at the North-London Club since 1996, revealed his frustration, disappointment and disgust at the criticism he has received and how he has been treated by fans.
"I believe there's a difference between being criticised and being treated in a way that human beings don't deserve," said the 67-year-old. The Frenchman's emotional distress and upset were clear for all to see during his interview. Wenger spoke as though he has been betrayed by certain sections of Arsenal fans before Saturday's FA Cup final against Antonio Conte's Chelsea at Wembley."The lack of respect from some has been a disgrace and I will never accept that. I will never forget it."Wenger's selflessness and his love for the club were very apparent during the interview, as true to his style, his lack of self-interest was so prominent. https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/868432346004860930 "The behaviour of some people during the season, that is what hurts me most," said Wenger.
"It's not my person that is hurt but the impeccable image of the club around the world. That kind of behaviour does not reflect what Arsenal is. A strong club is a club that makes a decision. "It is wrong that in modern society it is not a question of whether a decision is right but whether it is popular. That has nothing to do with competence. People with responsibility have to make the right decision."Wenger will become the most decorated manager in FA Cup history with a seventh triumph if the Gunners topple favourites, Chelsea, in Saturday's game.
