Piers Morgan is suddenly Arsene Wenger's biggest fan as Arsenal progress in Champions League

Suddenly, those #WengerOut tweets seem like a very, very long time ago.

As fickle football fans go, Piers Morgan is at the very top of the pile. While there's no doubting his allegiance to Arsenal - he doesn't go where the trophies are, clearly - he is very quick to dismiss Arsene Wenger's managerial credentials as soon as things go even slightly awry. Well, Olivier Giroud, another regular victim of Morgan's poisoned tweeting thumb, scored a hat-trick tonight and sent Arsenal through to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 3-0 win against Olympiakos in Greece. Morgan, for once, was overjoyed (but couldn't resist a dig at Manchester United, the cretin). https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674703998268678147 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674707685187653633 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674703445560045573 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674700962427240448 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674699509801332744 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/674698890818551808
