It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Regarding the locking of threads, i must admit that when you see a topic reach say 10 pages or so that was, for arguments sake, originally a Cesc transfer thread that has decended into a debate about us not having enough defenders, then it would seem that the best thing to do would be to start a new thread, as bigger threads by nature tend to go off topic, and can be a bit infuriating for someone who wished to post on the orignial topic.
So, in my opinion, the creation of new threads on topics that may have been covered before isn't necessarily always a bad thing. However, this is subject to exceptions though, as having 10 different threads on our new kit is a bit over the top.
Ultimately, it is a balance that is hard to reach and i believe that there isn't one set rule to go by, most of it will have to be done on a subjective level rather than an objective one, and take the decision on the merits of each thread at a time.
i can't agree with you, mm99. all threads tend to go off topic always, but it just requires a simple "back to the topic, i think that..." to get things back on track. i don't think making new topics would make things easier, as sometimes you want to quote or catch something that was said before, and that way it becomes a lot more complicated. for people who aren't logging for a while, it also becomes hard to understand how a discussion started, and things like that.
So, B.G. what do you really think of the new home kit???

Hmm... as a teacher, I'm sure you can appreciate that you shouldn't be marking your own thread. There'd be anarchy if ever student did that!
You think it's brillaint (and good for you)... I, however, rated it as only a D (borderline C)
Good effort. Must try harder.

Nah, I haven't read it mate - I've been in an exam and throughout, some fucker outside was blowing a bloody vuvu-fucking-zela!!!
Exam went well though, thanks!

I love Swale's version of "self-awareness" too
What sort of result are you hoping for?
I was thinking something along the lines of 7-6, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3
