Its not as binary as that. Where Arsenal are our major rivals its understandable to want to mock them at every opportunity, i just feel its stupid to do so at this point as we are in such a bad mess ourselves.
So clubs can only banter when their team is doing well?

I actively hate fans of big clubs giving it all the mouth just because their team is doing well like somehow they are above other people.

Just don't agree with you here.

This is glorious.

Bonus points if you spot one of our favourite AFTV friends.

Spectacular work (although I couldn't find Ozil).

That's fine feel free to not take part in the banter and we'll feel free to partake in it

We could be in the Conference South and I'd still laugh at those tits.
Strange world where you're only allowed to laugh at clubs you're better than...I'm glad I don't live there.

AFTV causes so much damage for them and they don't realise it.

They clearly realise it and just don't care. Robbie knows full well that the majority of the viewers aren't Arsenal fans but fans of other clubs looking for a laugh and he's making serious money from it. They know exactly what they're doing and all play up to their characatures every week based on what gets views. There was even a video of them not long ago celebrating Arsenal conceding because they forgot that their FB live stream was still going. I can't remember exactly but one of them even said something like "This'll be great for getting our views up this week" or something along those lines.

They could have a little chat with some reasonable people discussing the club, but then it would barely get any views and wouldn't make them any money so what's the point. THeir entire business model is to make "hilarious" videos of overreacting fans flipping their lid about the club because people tune in each time to see what bollocks these characters come out with every week.

They're not fans, they're just a bunch of chancers who've stumbled across a get rich quick scheme and are now milking it for all it's worth.

Have you never heard the phrase "you only sing when you're winning"?

Yeah it was the 200 quid donation wasn't it.

I do think some are hard-core gooners but either too stupid to see it or they're just wrapped up in this 'celebrity' lifestyle others are clearly those fans who turned up just after the invincible period.

I've come across a few gooners in my time who've laughed and ripped the piss out of the team for losing.

What about European teams? Do they have to be below us in their respective leagues for us to be able to mock? What if their league has more teams than the Prem? Do we pro-rata the league placing? And what if a team has played more games and are only a point or two ahead of us? Asking for a friend.

99% of the country weren't allowed to laugh at us when we got knocked out the Carabao by Colchester

Not even Colchester themselves!!! :sour:

There are a few holes in the theory.
