I get the appeal of watching the game along with someone, maybe a lot of people fell into it during tha pandemic, they give comraderie to lots of fans who live far away and want to feel connected, or it's just a preference of modern generations.
The issue is that those fans often become assimilated with the opinions and ideas of the characters presenting, mimicking them even subconsciously. And they are characters. View chasers. Wind up merchants. Big gobs with little brains.
It's a concentrated version of a football forum, really. Bad decision happens, you want to sound off about it and gain other opinions. But as they have main characters and leaders, their voices are always louder and their views are adopted as being knowledgeable, more passionate and insightful. Imagine bluemoon but only the mods were able to create topics and the vetted every reply and posted only those they wanted to highlight, and in a frantic bid to justify their mid positions they play up the passion and hysteria to show they care more than they average fan, so they must be superfans.
What it creates is a vacuum of independent thought and a rally point for anyone who wants to get their knickers in a twist. Arsenal's fan channels are out in front, but don't discount the United ones and the supposed outraged Alice and gold bridge, or that chubby fella who cries a lot.
With regards to the arsenal game yesterday, we just need to focus on city. Lots of games to go and they've shown their not invulnerable. City have the experience now, all about what we do rather than what arsenal do.
