Well Arsenal are trying to cut down on the Internet Warriors giving it the large. I wouldn't be surprised if the decision was made by PHW & Arsene, they are probably sick of us stupid, inpatient people.Originally Posted by Alan B'stard

Angry Arsenal fans were in open rebellion last night after accusing the club of trying to gag them.
Arsenal have announced plans to close down the chat room on their official website.
And hundreds of Gooners responded in fury to the decision to dump the “Your Arsenal” site from July 18.
Explaining the decision, the site moderator cited the evolution of Facebook and Twitter.
But a week after open dissent directed at chief executive Ivan Gazidis at a fans’ forum, furious supporters accused the club of attempting to gag critics after the forum became a focus for dissent at the lack of success.
One fan slated: “The forum will probably reappear when we eventually win a title. I reckon it’s now run by rose-tinters who can’t and won’t accept any dissent.”
Another added: “There has been ever-growing criticism towards the club and Wenger on here these last 12 months. The ‘Wenger out’ moans have also increased considerably.
“To criticise the club and especially Wenger on here a while ago was worth a death sentence but not at all nowadays. Quite the opposite in all honesty. Now the official board is slowly turning on the club and management. Maybe it’s their ‘get out’?”
And a third summed up the “short-sighted” mood as he said:
“To expect debate on Facebook or Twitter is unrealistic , it just will not happen.
“If the club don’t like what is being said then they should address the problem rather than just sweeping it away. All that will happen is people will find other ways to make their points felt and they might be worse for the club in the long run.”
it was pretty naive of them to host a message board in the first place. Its now something to laugh at them about though I dont thin anyone with a brain would be demanding they resurrect it
Someone should spam the board and point them towards GW.
I actually think we're quite kind on here, I browse other boards and it's carnage elsewhere, pretty much "100% Arsene Out".
lets be honest - the arsenal-centic blogosphere is a highly distorted picture of the world, even by interweb standards.
Maybe the club have a point.
Watching 'Venger out, yaar' become the new 'Vee vill Vin' and Wading through the ramblings of post sky tv non attending 'fans' would do anyone's head in.

Although there is an ever increasing sense of disapproval, I think the vast majority of fans are behind Wenger. That's the feeling I got from the games I attended last season.
I sttill think he is the best choice for the job right now. Just about.
However I think what he is serving up isnt good enough and no longer has excuvses like youth or post stadium austerity to temper it.
and that its right that he and the board get some honest feedback on their performance.
I'm not so sure, he has some backing but there's a lot of fans happy to see him move on now...after 6 years and last season's disastrous collapse they've had enough.
I've not been behind him for a while now, don't agree with his methods or policies and it was a disaster waiting to happen IMO, the players lacked the right elements and in some cases quality.
I'm also sick of his total BS, I find it insulting that he thinks fans are so stupid that they'll buy the stuff he comes out with personally.
I'm not so sure he's right for the job anymore if the criteria has changed slightly, I.E. the purse strings have been loosened a bit.
Arsene is a good coach, there's no doubting this but I wish he would be a bit more flexible in his approach, if he was I would back him 100%
The fact that he isn't and continues to make the same mistakes season after season makes me feel he shouldn't be here anymore.
