Anyone hear Robbie on Talksport defending himself against Simon Jordan’s AFTV comments? Robbie absolutely destroyed him and the little Scottish sycophant. Natalie Sawyer let them at it and much to her credit as he was ‘gunning’ for the whole Talksport platform at the end. Club rivalries aside I was cheering him on today. As usual with Jim White’s show they tried to do the sensationalist part and shout down any dissenting voices and Robbie was not having it. Ironically it made great radio.

Didn’t hear it myself but everything I’ve read about it has it the other way round

I heard it and that was pretty much what I remember happening.
Robbie just wouldn't shut up and kept repeating the same thing over the top of anyone who challenged him.
It was like Ty had given him tips.

Not a bit. They called him on because he made some claims. He made them again and they wouldn’t answer because when they did it turned out Robbie was right. He had to keep repeating it because they were just trying to drown him out talking shite and deflecting. He stuck to his guns, which he had to do or they would have sidelined him. Simon Jordan tweeted afterwards that he was angry with himself for getting involved. Basically Robbie beat him and now he thinks he lowered himself to a level he should t have been fighting at.

It's weird how people interpret things differently.
I just had a look on twitter and theres loads of people saying Robbie battered Jordan, and loads of people saying the opposite.
Thats just how I interpreted it.

I can only think of one decent point that Robbie made in that Talksport does effectively the same thing that AFTV does, encourages angry people to make tits of themselves, but how Robbie can still try to claim that AFTV doesn't feed off negativity and he's 'giving fans a voice' is fucking nonsense basically.

There’s no doubt he’s done well by it but I think he stumbled onto that more by luck (bad, for Arsenal) than judgement. He’s a Gooner, he didn’t see their fall coming. You wouldn’t start a channel for that reason. Shit happens. Should he stop just because they’re rubbish? Would that stop them being rubbish or just encourage someone to take his place?

I see Robbie all the time as he’s from Milton Keynes.

He’s definitely saw a opportunity when things was just turning on Wenger that he could carve out a decent YouTube channel but let’s be real if the club was in better shape he wouldn’t have got as big as it is.

look at our own fan channels no where near the size of aftv actually no other club fan channels come close to it.

Well Arsenal fans are complete and utter hysterical morons so it could only really work for them.

I dunno the Pochettino thread the last few weeks before he was sacked was full of hysterical morons tbf

I don't think I've ever seen Spurs fans stand outside the stadium acting like completer nut jobs in front of the camera, and we actually have our own fan channels as well.

Listening to it now and I agree with your summary.

Whilst I do agree that Robbie is benefiting from negativity around his club, I also think that makes Talksport massive hypocrites cause that's essentially what they are about - in fact it's worse!

One thing is certain though - Jim White is a grade A cock!
