Match Reaction v Man City

We still have not lost a league game with Arteta in the side.... been with us for over a year now.

twitter accurate as usual.

And what does that prove? People say far less accurate things on here. He's not a journalist or a pundit. He's just a fan, like people on here who'll say far stupider things.

Does the concept of Twitter confuse you? Did you expect Twitter staff to fact-check every tweet before they go out?

What a passionate defence for Twitter

Brings a tear to my eye

Well really. There's a lot of arguments against Twitter, but one guy posting something inaccurate is hardly a good argument against it, any more than any other social networking site. Or any forum.

Tbf, its just another in a long list of shockers Twitter have had

Although it is cos of them FL week was created

Wenger just never bought the guy despite Twitter saying it was signed, sealed and delivered

But Twitter isn't one single entity. It's full of different people, from angry swearers like Ollie to respected football journalists and everything in between. The rumours on Twitter should no more be taken as truth than the gossip column of a paper. Some tweeters know more than others, some are just idiots looking for attention.

At the end of the day, it's just a social networking site so nothing should be taken for granted on there.

But it gives you so many different opinions and insights. People post gifs/pics/vids of incidents other people have missed, point out a different part of an incident you may not have seen before etc.

For example, within minutes of the Shelvey challenge yday, there was gifs and images flying about and a fierce debate raging as to who was in the wrong and whether both players should've gone etc. Exactly the same as happens on here but with far more participants. There's no reason anyone on GW should hate Twitter when it can do everything GW can do but more efficiently.

I am genuinely in tears here

If you were a footballer, you would be Scott Parker and Twitter would be your team mate and you would passionately and bravely protect him from those who wish him ill.

didnt realise we had to go through the pig's autocracy in order to post on here. there was me thinking it was a messageboard for people to post things in order to stimulate discussion. tell me, which of your other rules do we have to abide by in order to post on goonersweb, young hitler?
