His relationship with supporters has hit rock bottom this campaign and it appears as though tensions could further sour leading up to the FA Cup final with Chelsea.
Speaking to BBC's Football Focus, Wenger admits that he doesn't deserve the lack of respect and criticism he has received during the season.
He said: "The lack of respect from some has been a disgrace and I will never accept that. I will never forget it.
"I don't mind criticism because we are in a public job.

"I believe there's a difference between being criticised and being treated in a way that human beings don't deserve.
"The behaviour of some people during the season, that is what hurts me most. 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.

Arsenal fans go on another march chanting for Wenger to leave the club
"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."
Protests against the Premier League's long serving manager have ranged from stadium boycotts to planes flying over the Emirates with banners calling for his resignation.
Wenger will become the most successful manager in FA Cup history with a seventh title if they can topple league champions Chelsea.
His contract expires in the summer but he expects to put pen to paper on a new deal in the coming weeks.
