Glasgow Rangers fan here - so take my tuppence worth whichever which way you want (as I'm sure you will) - don't necessarily support you but I learned about the Rangers and Arsenal connection quite early on when I 1st became fascinated with football and my clubs history, as a result I've always had a wee passing interest in your fortunes...
I can see why AFTV gets on the tits of a lot of Arsenal fans... I'd be mortified if our fans were immediately interviewed in a boozer after a poor result - but I do hear it and have been responsible for it at times... the raw emotion of it perhaps should stay off social media but I do like AFTV from an outside perspective because it does showcase the immediate reactions of real supporters either hurting or jubilant at the result they've just witnessed.
I've read the thread (specifically the past few pages) with interest and see it seems to be a couple of their regulars (DT and Troops) getting it tight but really I find they are probably conveying the thoughts that some or sometimes a majority of fans would do so either through the game or immediately after, it's something I can personally relate to and it's good to hear that fans of another club from a different country do so that's why I continue to view it and find it interesting. Know the platform gets a lot of stick from certain fans of being a utensil for rival fans to have a laugh at you after a defeat - you think they wouldn't be doing it anyway? & there are some guys (Turk is it?) who are more insightful, diplomatic and more knowledgeable about the game (there are a few others too but names escape me)
Would your club be better off without fans questioning the people running your club? We (The Rangers support) done that with a previous owner and it led to us staring into the abyss and a lost decade where our fiercest rivals coasted to trophy after trophy and title after title. The owners and board should always always be questioned and held accountable.
Does it spread negativity? Perhaps, but things will never improve unless you highlight it, no point painting a jobby and calling it a Picasso - Ignorance isn't always bliss
Just my insight on this anyway ladies and gents.
