"did you get more hits?" he says as TalkSport probably also benefitted. While Robbie has played up certain elements of fan craziness he seems to invest his dividends back into the product, moreover I'm sure he was paying for certain people to go to games.

Moreover TalkSport regularly let crazies call in, just look at the Liverpool callers!

I think AFTV is at the point where they get enough views even when they win to make a healthy income.

I would take a bet that they earn more from sponsors than they ever get from views, and have done for years.

That too but they need views for sponsors.

In any case, it's up to Arsenal to actually start playing well, not AFTV to go away and hope Arsenal play well.

Yup.

Its odd really.

I mean Goldbridge never gets the same kind of hassle over his United channel, nor the Stretford Paddock guys. Lord knows we've had as many downs as the arsenal lot over the last decade.

This. It's called social media platform. Everything is about social media right now.

Fans back then struggle to express their opinion publicly so others can hear their voice and now they can because of this fan channel aka social media.

He really does. Absolutely idiotic. For a comparison, the company I work for has profited massively from this pandemic (which profits me). Does it mean I hope it continues so I can gain off the back of this mess? Am I secretly jumping up and down?

I'm actually quite angry that Parlour is pointing the finger elsewhere, away from the real issue. It's crap like this that stops momentum on movements.

Wasn't Ray Paulour not on Arsenal Fan TV before? So don't know what he is talking about If he was so against it then why did he go on it then?

Hypocrisy from Talkshite and wasting time and energy talking about the wrong thing. All efforts should be directed towards these disgraceful owners.

What the feck is that :lol: . Is there any proof that Robbie jumps up and down when they lose a game, also i believe that view difference of games lost vs games won is not that big, having in mind its basically Arsenal fans vs non. Its not like he doesnt turn camera when they win. What a weird cnut Ray Parlour is.

Yea go home and away every game, sun, rain snow doesnt matter, spending your own money, get trashed 10-2 in CL on agg. and what he expects, head in the sand and pretend it didnt happen, so those owner cnut get scot free.

Their views effectively peaked during the Wenger out period, their top 20 video, 1 is about a win, most of them are fan cam rants after big losses.

It is good meme viewing cause they proper lose the rag, their player performance ranking videos are amazing after a loss, people often get a 0/10. But all fans are that reactionary tbh, just look on here, Bruno has 6.4 rating for the season, most are below 6, we're 2nd can you imagine if we were Arsenal level?

AFTV is about twice the size of the other clubs fan channels and if you look at others alot of their most popular videos in the last 5 years have also been overly negative, eg. Strefford paddock (Fulltime Devils) is Andy Tate's "give it Giggsy till the end of the season" Moyes era. Celebration is only interesting to like minded fans, melt downs are entertaining to everyone. Talksport's entire business model revolves around it, so why they accuse others of profitting from misery is beyond me. Their last viewer blip was their rough patch around December, where viewing doubled.

Then Robbie should have been pro-ESL. They would have been spanked badly every mid-week. with no relegation. He would be a billionaire by 2030 if the ESL was still around.
"AFTV, DT, 3rd straight 8 nil loss in a row, is it time for Arteta to go?"

Parlour isn't interested at all in listening. The only time he shut up for just a moment in the debate - from 3.10-3.31 - he was probably just browsing on his phone.

From Troopz to the former speaker of the house. Quite a transformation.

I think Goldbridge is a lot like AFTV. I had a look at one of Goldbridge's videos recently and he was just saying 'I mean lets be real, were gonna beat Burnley. Its BURNLEY for gods sake' and he just really clearly seemed to be teeing it up for a big mainstream meltdown if we'd lost.

I think Stretford Paddock guys are actually emotionally invested and don't make for box office viewing when we lose.

Ever since I saw his reaction to your winner in Paris (he looked like someone poorly acting) I wondered if there is something in that Forest rumour.

He shows more raw emotion playing FIFA.

He really does come across as a twat. Robbie does well trying to steer the discussion on the Super League which is presumably what brought him on to talk about. I can imagine Parlous had his little talking points and digs ready to go the minute he found out Robbie was coming on.

The Arsenal protest going on right now looks brilliant. Big turnout.

I think Goldbridge gets some leeway because he is basically a bad Alan partridge impression and never goes to games. Stratford Paddock aren't anywhere near as bad as AFTV.

Also I think the most important thing is AFTV were one of the biggest Wenger out crowd. Imagine if Goldbridge had been outside Old Trafford every week calling Fergie a failure and that United need to bin him. While AFTV is funny for us United fans I can easily see why former Arsenal players(Especially the ones who played under Wenger) and lot of Arsenal fans hate them.

He's just a tw@t making money off our club. Every video he posts is some sensational bullshit. Much better fan channels out there

Well its not surprising for them to not gain same traction when they dont leave their room from where they shooting and thats even pre- COVID period.
