French winger unhappy with abuse from travelling Gunners crowd

Wantaway midfielder Samir Nasri has branded Arsenal fans as 'disrespectful' after he was made the subject of abusive chants at Newcastle. The Frenchman, 24, has yet to pen a new deal with the Gunners, meaning he could leave on a free transfer next summer. Nasri has been linked with a £25million move to Manchester City, although Arsene Wenger remains hopeful the playmaker will stay, particularly after the sale of captain Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona. He did not feature in the opening Premier League game at St James' Park because of illness, but was the subject of abuse from some sections of the travelling support, who questioned his loyalty and labelled him greedy. Nasri, who is suspended for Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League play-off first leg against Udinese at Emirates Stadium, used his Twitter account to hit back. He wrote: "I heard what the fans were singing about me on Saturday and it is really disrespectful because I'm still a (sic) arsenal player."
