Arsenal

I think thats a very generous take tbh. He may not have created the channel to demean their club, but let’s be honest that’s exactly what it’s become. It’s clear he’s gone out of his way to choose the “characters” that he interviews, and seems to ensure that they are all complete bellends or boderline special needs. It’s like the early rounds of the X factor where they make fun of the freaks and weirdos. It’s not giving a voice to the fans any more than X factor is giving the no hopers from the auditions a shot at the stars.

AFTV isn’t successful because Arsenal fans love it, it’s successful because the fans of every other club find it hilarious to watch the arsenal nutters have a rant and make fools of themselves.

If it was someone doing the same and making Spurs fans look like a bunch of whining muppets we’d be all saying what a wanker he was, and I’m sure plenty of people would be voicing their opinions, and chanting for him to get out of our club too.

He’s now playing the victim and talking about how they were racist, and pissed up and possibly even on drugs. No dude, they are just sick of you exploiting the club they love for your own benefit.

Decent post but he never said they were racist, he said the bullying and mob mentality reminded him of a time where fans were racist back in the day.

I think it was just the threatening intimidation he received reminded him of when racist fans made him feel the same, without the same racist intent.

Anyway, keep up the good work Robbie. Only 3 more sleeps until I get my jumper.

Did you select the customise your own option and had Done Dougal’ on the front of it?

Not directly, but to me it looked like an attempt to paint them with every evil that currently Mars football fans. In his little rant he managed to mention, racism, hooliganism, being pissed, drugged up, bullying, and them not being “real fans.”

They just looked like football fans chanting and waving fivers at him to me. Didn’t see any physical violence.

I’m not saying people should intimidate him or anything like that, but I can definitely see why people are sick of him and would be angry.

utter hypocrite. So as expected no punches thrown just people chanting around them. So a bit like the abusive chanting they have surrounding their interviews aimed at Kroenke, managers, players. He doesn't want 'thuggish' elements around them yet I remember vividly when we lost to them in the league cup and they were dismantling the ad boards that his rogue's gallery of twats were all on there defending it and two of his then regulars took pics later in the day with parts of their 'spoils' which they'd had shoved in the coats. That's not even touching on the rumours about DT's past.

He won't have bullying because it reminds him of the racism at football back in the day? But we actively saw his regulars hound out that ginger bloke for having a different opinion, Heavy D and Moh are bullied openly by DT, they make threatening comments about players, backroom staff and board constantly. Claude as much as I think he's a decent bloke screams in Ty's face regularly on camera. Robbie himself shadow boxing at the camera when mentioning Nasri.

Practice what you preach or don't preach at all. It's either all ok or none of it's ok. Not having none of this 'he's a nice bloke' when he's just done a video implying the people that don't like them are coke heads

Because there was no physical violence, he mentioned bullying culture which is common for football fans when they get into a mob, we've all seen and heard it the chanting, the swearing, getting in people's faces and it's most common with English based fans throughout history, the only thing that's changed is the fact that the racist comments have slowed down however the culture is still apparent - it's just modern day hooliganism.

If people are sick of him (and I would perfectly understand why) then there are other ways of voicing an opinion, intimidation is cowardly and ultimately doesn't get any point across.

Can't see big ego players like Aubamayang and Ozil responding well to Arteta. I'm not a big Mourinho fan (in fact I think he's been an utter knob in the past) but I'm very glad we snagged him when we did.

I'm actually struggling to imagine Jose taking the Arsenal job. I'm sure he would've considered it, but he clearly cares a huge amount about preserving his legacy and the rebuild job at Arsenal is so big and could've so easily gone wrong.

Also, regardless of how much he's hamming it up at the moment, I just can't imagine him being so openly positive about the squad at Arsenal given the serious lack of both quality and commitment. When he talks about Son, Toby, Kane, Tanguy, Alli, etc, I truly get the impression that he thinks they are huge talents and he's excited to work with them. Aside from Aubameyang (who is getting on a bit and has one foot out the door) and maybe 1 or 2 others, who would he actually be excited about in their squad?

AFTV is the the most relevant thing about that club at the moment

Why the ding dang dooley would they be looking at another centre forward who possibly can play wide? ??

By signining Arteta, they basically relegated themselves.Too young, idealistic and weak to control a band of mad lazy dogs.

Itll be fun to see Arsenal relegated.

Very optimistic take on it, but I have no faith in them playing in Europe next season. We'll see how a Europe-less season affects the club.

Gives them a free run at the title. All part of the master plan.

Is that the championship title

So they've sacked a Transylvanian vampire and after several weeks finally appointed a Twilight vampire.

And the first thing he does is put Ozil back in.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Without Aubameyang they would be relegated. He is 30 years old and his contracts will end 18 months later

 

[NickHSpurs]

His face seems to be even more smug and punchable since he's taken this job, can't wait for the movement to get him out to start in a few months.
