joeyt Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Arsenal fans are ruining the internet for everyone Arsenal have a fandom to rival One Direction - and they are just as annoying - and now we cannot have anything nice Arsenal won club of the year at the inaugural Facebook Football awards on Tuesday. Oh, and Alexis Sanchez was named player of the season. And obviously Arsene Wenger took home Manager of the Year. This is, of course, just two days after Jack Wilshere inexplicably won Goal of the Season on Match of the Day. Notice a pattern developing? The awards weren't voted for by critics, players or managers - they were voted for by fans. And the votes got hijacked 'Arsenal fandom', as it's occasionally referred to, seems to have taken over the footballing internet. Anyone who gets involved in online polls will have known, well before Gary Lineker pointed it out on TV, that any vote that has anything to do with Arsenal is doomed. The fandom takes over. It's like One Direction, only with more balls and marginally better music: But couldn't it just be that Arsenal deserve to win all these polls? Well, the Jack Wilshere example would indicate not. Charlie Adam's 65-yard effort against arguably the world's best goalkeeper was a once-in-a-lifetime strike. Wilshere's, while spectacular and technically difficult, was nothing of the sort. And everyone knew it. And he still won. Well, Arsenal are a successful club who play open, attacking football. I should be clear that they have earned the vast majority of their online support on the field. Then again, they have more followers than Manchester United - a far more successful club in the digital era - and Chelsea, who have also enjoyed much more recent success. The truth is Arsenal simply saw the power of social media before anyone else, and they do it very well. Oh, and one last thing... Arsenal are not the first crazy fandom to do strange, annoying things on the internet. It happens all the time. And where do all strange, crazy, annoying internet things usually come from? That's right... When Twitter launched their map of global following, it showed that Arsenal (in yellow) is basically King of America and northern Europe: The Manchester United fans in Asia and Africa may be more numerous, but they could also be far more difficult to mobilise in the way Arsenal seem to be able to do so easily. So, if you are one of the Arsenal fandom, well done. You've ruined the fun for everyone else, but still won. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11633682/Arsenal-fans-are-ruining-the-internet-for-everyone.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It is really pathetic but not unexpected, Arsenal fans are all internet-based really and only the toffs who can afford to see them daren't join in with working-class rabble football chants to create any form of atmosphere. We can't talk considering that Cabella ESPN poll we hijacked, but it's nowhere near the same scale to the Arsenal brigade who are on it for absolutely everything. They done the same at the BT Sports awards too IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Don't the Spanish pronounce "z" with a "th" like Cazorla (Cathorla) and similarly Ayo"th"e? Unless you're Mike Tyson, I don't think so. I think certain parts of Spain pronounce it differently. For instance, you often hear of people saying "Thara-gotha" but rarely of people saying "Ibi-tha".
