Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has slammed those Arsenal 'fans' who targeted Arsene Wenger at Stoke train station last week. The long-serving Gunners chief was heckled at Stoke train station which Pardew felt was "disrespectful" and he has also suggested that the Emirates should be renamed after the Frenchman for the way he managed the club when they were moving from Highbury and had to cut their cloth accordingly.
He said: "The incident at the train station was totally disrespectful. I think 99 per cent of Arsenal fans would have been ashamed of that and we could get the backlash of it.
"They will want to show him how much they love him. But Arsene knows that instant results are massive, even for someone who has been in the position as long as he has. That stadium should be named after him.
"The job he did in that move across, when they had all that debt and he had to be very careful with the transfer budget, it was a miracle that he kept them in the Champions League.
"I think everyone at Arsenal knows that he's done a magnificent job. But all of us managers are on a six-game, seven-game period with the media and social media, we have to accept that."
