    I know online polls are a bit of a joke

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11633682/Arsenal-fans-are-ruining-the-internet-for-everyone.html

    Basically saying that any online poll that features Arsenal is ruined by Arsenal fandom.

    Sky even went as far to leave out an Arsenal player for goal of the season to see if it can get a proper vote.

    Is it true?

    Just to put in a disclaimer this is meant as a joke and a laugh, I created a new thread as no chat is allowed in the humour thread

    ******

    They have to win something dont they? :pac:

    But seriously, Wilshire winning MOTD goal of the season was silly.

    Add a Poll Gav, to test it out.

    Just a simple yes or no for true or false do they ruin all online polls :)

    you'd probably need to exclude Arsenal fans though.

    Arsenal fans just seem to be a bit better organised on t'itnernet. Give it a while till Chelsea fans get a wealthy Russian benefactor and they'll soon be collecting all the poll victories

    I think the arsenal subreddit has a lot to answer for.

    Arsenal fans aren't even close to being the most annoying on the internet

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Hard to tell if sarcasm is being used online. I presume it is being used here in relation to Wilsheres goal?

    Nothing wrong with a bit of poll ****ing.
    Shows how useless most of them are.

    That is how Rotterdam ended up with foul mouthing swearing boxing legend as Rotterdammer of the century in stead of some political do-gooder.

    Online polls/voting are there to be manipulated. Dont want the results to make a mockery of it? Well dont have one. Are you listening Eurovision?

    It can be usually spotted by mass support for a Turkish or Greek goal of the season or something. Arsenal fans are clearly more stealthy...

    Arsenal fans are harmless. Last ten years has been strange for them. The team is not good enough to be jealous of but not ****e enough to get made fun of so they get forgotten.
