Good game, bad game, what difference does it make what people think at any given time? The point is to share opinions with people who have a shared interest. Humans are social creatures, everyone wants to have an opinion even though, as the old saying about arseholes goes, everyone has one.

I popped onto another forum yesterday, much bigger than this one, and it's the same. Disbelief at Wenger's latest antics and his inability to learn. His stubbornness, his prehistoric methods. It was all there, just like here. And I'm betting I could visit another 20 forums and it would be the same. Arsenal fans talking. It's normal. And while individual views don't amount to much when they join the sea of combined views and a consensus develops then that does mean something and it can influence things.
its different. Very different.

James down the pub: CL draw today, who do you want?
Abdul: 'what's the fucking point, we all know we're getting knocked out.
James: yeah but who would you like us to play against?
Abdul: who gives a fuck, I don't care about it at all, we all know what's going to happen
James: you're a miserable cunt.
Abdul: I know.

Not every possible discussion needs to descend into 'oh what's the point...Wenger's a cunt'. This is a draw about playing in the champions league group stages. Top 32 teams in Europe. And look at the first page. It's embarrassing.

But anyway I think you are right - It's my fault for looking here because we know what GW is these days. Ground down to the lowest common denominator.
