Hull City boss Steve Bruce is shocked there is a section of Arsenal support demanding Arsene Wenger's sacking.

Hull meet Arsenal on Monday night.

Bruce said: "I find that quite astonishing. He has been a main problem, for us British coaches. The introduction of Arsene Wenger was one of the first (overseas bosses) 18 years ago, he has been in the top four for the last 17 years, won three Premier Leagues, five FA Cups, they are in the final of the FA Cup again and still people question him.

"That's how difficult the job is but I take a bit of heart from that. If he can get a bit of stick, maybe we are all due it because how you can question him is beyond me.

"His first team was big and physical, they were immense, then he had the team that went unbeaten for 49 games, it's quite remarkable for what he has done.

"I have the utmost respect for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger even though they did beat us in the (FA) Cup final (last season). They do things in the right way, they play in the right way and he has been the demise of many British managers - for a time everyone thought 'we will go and get the new Arsene Wenger'."
