I'm not condoning the violence, but I think this has been a long time coming. He's basically rounded up all the most bizarre and ludicrous Arsenal fans with the most deluded or controversial opinions and made them the focus of what's a very official looking channel. He's turned the club and the fan base into a massive joke online, as well as putting a huge focus on the Wenger out camp over the last few years. It's like a cross between the early rounds of the X factor, and Jeremy Kyle. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if some of the characters on the channel were actually paid "actors" to inflame the situation. That freak from Storgage hunters for instance.

It's very easy to see why some people would see him as part of the cause of all the infighting among the fan base. He fans the flames week after week and sits there making oodles of cash out of it. Now he's even fucking sponsored by Ladbrookes!

It's clearly not a good thing for the fan base, and you can see from the reaction our own users gave to a guy suggesting he wanted to set up a similar Spurs themed channel a couple of weeks ago, that most people think that it would be damaging to the fan base and the club as a whole.

Robbie is just in it for himself. He probably supports Charlton deep down or something.

This is so true. My Arsenal supporting mates (yes I know!! The shame) didn't even know about this channel until I pointed it out to them. Was a joke channel for fans of other clubs for ages before most normal Arsenal fans knew about it. And now they do they realise what a laughing stock it's made them.

No idea whether this represents their true fan base though (all clubs have plonkers but there were like 10 people at the levy out march when we were in a much more dire position a couple of years ago) and what the overlap is between guys hiring planes, vans etc

Agreed.

I expect more trouble because in this video Robbie has actively called them out, calling them cowards. He's basically put a 'bounty' on his head!

About half way through.....

What's the deal with the subtitles? Half the time it's no relation to what's being said.

Gin, yoga, quake, dad, and a bunch of other words appeared on those subtitles.

Explain please.

The only thing more embarrassing for your fanbase than talking shite is fighting someone over it.

I can see why some of their fans would really not like the FanTV. We'd be the same really. Fair play to the guy in a business sense for what he has done, but he's basically making money off of the team's fuck ups and fans misery and giving opposition fans a laugh.

I don't really get the appeal of it anyway after seeing a few of their vids recently, it might be funny for opposition fans but a lot of it is so obviously fake... When there is money involved and a bit of media status/awareness you are going to do whatever to keep that coming. Some of them on there, Mr BludFam especially, are obviously hamming it up for their cut of the deal.

But if a draw against a Top Six rival is enough to get them fighting amongst themselves, keep it coming :LOL:

I still think fair play to Robbie. He found a niche, he's making a few quid out of it and nobody has died. Yet.

You argue that his 'niche' is monetising the failure of the club he supports. If the equivalent was happening at Spurs, I'd think he was a ****.

If they don't get it right in the summer they could be going down hill very fast. Sanchez is definitely going and it looks like Ozil is too. They've got 8+ players contracts running out and a lot of players on the decline. Lets be real here without Sanchez and Ozil they would be fighting for 6/5th or worse.

First time I've watched one of these and could barely get through it. The constant "mmm" grunt from that Robbie bloke is awful. It's all I could hear after the first minute....

Exactly, and after seeing the whole farce now develop into confrontations and violence, the old saying 'you reap what you sow' comes to mind.

Robbie constantly trots the bullshit 'we give the fans a voice'...when terms and conditions clearly apply to what sort of fans he puts on.

Fuck them.

Bloody idiots, the lot of them. I thought Old Claude wasn't doing the home games any more, that's what he said after West Brom anyway. Maybe Robbie bunged him a few quid so as not to lose one of his main stars.

It's funny, because he only ever seems to give the same set of five or six fans a "voice" and they all seem to be completely unhinged.

Those five or six, coincidentally, have the highest viewing numbers as well.
I wouldn't imagine a crew like that would last a few weeks at WHL...I know there was that Barnaby bloke who did one for a bit, but it seemed much more balanced than ArseTV, and let's face it over the last few years we generally haven't had anything to moan about.
It's absolutely no surprise it's all turning nasty on them...in fact it's surprising they've lasted this long tbh.

He can probably afford security now he's getting cash from Ladbrokes, so he's probably not bothered.

Admittedly he's probably earning a fair few quid from Ladbrokes, but ad revenue from YouTube is pretty lousy...even with his rumoured 12m views per month.
Be interesting to know how much he actually gets from it.
