AFTV

As an outsider I don't think what DT or troopz say is that controversial.

Is that you DT?

Haha I expected that but if I was I'd be too busy counting my piles of cash ...

Gen up, just a curious observer wondering why it's causing such a huge amount of conflict and infighting among your support. You can't seriously tell me that fellow Arsenal fans haven't stated stuff personally to you about Wenger, the board and the players etc after a disappointing result can you?

Fair enough, I have no idea on how YouTube figures work, still beats the daily grind though doesn't it

We are all on this forum arguing for free

There are a few good channels that explain exactly how much they get for views and subs. Can't lie, it makes you a bit envious. You can make a decent living off far less youtube fame than you probably think.

I think social media as a whole generates a feeding frenzy. Negative opinions get reinforced with behaviours and attitudes which were once frowned upon are suddenly accepted.

AFTV just brought it up a level and monetised it. For some batshit mental reason a vocal minority of fans looked at this, seen the hyperbole and overstated outrage and fed on it. Robbie a clever guy. He seen that over the top outrage is what drives clicks and views so that's what he gave the masses...which in turn made it more acceptable to act likewise. In some ways certain groups of fans are like sheep. They will take their lead from anyone they see with strong views, a loud mouth and a platform which to spread it. AFTV is the Fox News of football.

That's the relatively though out version of why I don't like them. When it comes down to it I really really just despise people who make money from the club by whipping up hysterical overreactions.

Same people on AFTV who demanded Wenger Out for focusing on top 4 fawned like puppies over Sp**s and others for managing it. The whole hypocritical nature of it pisses me off.

Or it would if it wasn't Christmas and I'm about to escape the office at last

So true, the fact that absolute pricks like Piers Morgan was interviewed and then often quoted is enough for any genuine Arsenal fan to ignore them

They are a shameless bunch of hypocrites. DT who was always carrying that Wenger Out banner, was later seen happily take a photograph with Arsène

I remember when this guy was making videos in a darkened room ranting about Nile Ranger, now he's huge

That needs to be put in context tho, Wenger went from managing a team that were often title contenders / winners to aiming for 4th place to help finance the club while Tottenham went from being a pretty erratic club to one that consistently achieves it. Any Arsenal fan has a pretty strong case to question how on Earth that happened.

In a way I get why you're upset that some people seem to be making money describing how you're drowning (just a phase as Arsenal could possibly turn it around and get back to ***** slapping the likes of Sp**s and Leicester etc and compete for the real glory). None of this can in anyway be attributed to them tho and imo it's very much a case of misdirected anger.

That's by the by tho, have a merry Christmas and enjoy your time off.

It's actually ok to believe someone is no longer right for the job but be appreciative and thankful for all they've achieved in the past.

Again, same could be applied to soooooo many posters on here and fans around the world, loads of people were spewing abuse about Wenger and wanting him out, now they suck his left nut and praise him, the amount of flip flopping in football is embarrassing

Years later he had him on!

We're a fickle bunch, whoever we support. It's probably the only thing we all have in common

I enjoyed True georrdie rants when he has his own channel

It’s definitely not controversial, but they’re over-the-top for infamy’s / enrichment’s sake.

 

[albakos]

Fair enough if you remain respectful, but the fact is that on this case they hurled all sorts of abuse, protests, flying banners and whatnot.
Those idiots are not worth even Wenger's piss.

What was this interview like?

I imagine it would be entertaining but some expectations just turn out to be dull with this sort of thing.

Not really getting how you can claim it's for infamy and enrichment when it's who's partially responsible and gives them the attention, also I don't think they've ever said anything totally out of order? Might be wrong tho. Their main gripe seems to be with the board and that's surely understandable.

Fans / supporters don't have open channels of communication to the people making the decisions... not sure how you can respectfully tell someone to gtf tbh?

 

[Get These Hands]

Was quite good when it started, but the regulars have become caricatures of themselves.

I saw a guy a few weeks ago throw his season ticket away. He did another interview the next week.

They all play up for the camera for views. Only a few give real insight and interesting analysis.

Let's get this to 1000 pages.

I watched it some time ago. Nile seemed like more of a **** up than a bad guy... Think I remember it being really funny how so many of his problems were just because he often over slept.
