Wonder if AFTV will just slowly dissappear over next 2 years or so. They lost Claude (RIP), Troopz, DT, Lee Gunnar and Chris so all their 'big' personalities are gone now and the new guys have zero charisma and presence.

I think they've built up a solid enough foundation to not just disappear. Moreover, Robbie has branched out with his Don Robbie channel and I think he and other personalities will stick around in the YouTube football world.

Full Time Devils went out of business but McKola and Howson are still very much at the forefront of United YouTube media.

Where's the watch along from last night or don't they do that anymore?

More interesting to see the real time reactions rather than the fluff afterwards

Apparently there is a Kovacic vs Partey argument going on twitter sparked by this old video of Robbie being so shocked at the idea someone could rate Kovacic higher than Partey.

Not surprising, Arsenal fans always have a weird affinity of overrating their players. I remember them saying Aubameyang was as good as Benz and Lewa only a couple of seasons ago. They are doing the same with Saka, ESR, Partey, Martinelli and Tierney right now. When they signed Ben White they were comparing him to Varane.

Partey was a good player for Atletico but has been completely average for Arsenal, it shouldn't really even be a discussion but you can't talk sense with Arsenal fans.

At this point I'd prefer a solid ever-present like Ben White over Varane, whose ability seems to multiply tenfold for every week he is in the physio room.

What has he missed, about 75% of our games?

The arguments were given when not one of those players had played a minute for their respective teams. I understand that argument now, but comparing a 4x UCL and world cup winning CB to Ben White is a bit too much don't you think.

That’s stupidly short term though. White would be out too if his manager played him when not fully recovered from an injury

Apart from the occasional Ty video I barely watch AFTV anymore since James, Cecil and Turkish have slowly taken over, they don't have the charisma or personality of Troopz, Claude, DT and Ty. I used to like the Tactical show with Graham and Robbie but stopped watching when James took over.

Partey of Atletico ? Sure might be worth discussing. Partey of Arsenal ? No way !!

Partey of Atletico wasn't even THAT good. He was standout for a season I remember and before that season it was all about how his passing was atrocious. He reminds me of a DM version of Pogba. Over hyped because of his role at a foreign club, where he was hyped up more than what he was.

Obviously a good player at Atletico but overrated even then. There's a reason no club really activated the release clause bar Arsenal.

tbh I thought he did well at right back at Atletico. Midfield he was decent at best

Yeah, you're probably right. He was overrated before he joined and its just normalising now.

Surely you're not accusing anyone on the caf of overrating Utd players? Its not as if there was ever a thread claiming Herrera was better than Kante ffs...
Probably arsenal fans in disguise.

If you take anyone comparing Varane to White even remotely seriously, maybe it says more about you than those trolling twitter kids ? Same applies for every player you talked about.

Yeah, James and Cecil are freaking terrible. I'd take Moh over them any day. Turkish is a decent supporting character but shouldn't be one of the main ones. Helen's very nice. However, that's why I think they slowly dissapear or simply lose any relevance in next two years or so. Probably doesn't help that Arsenal became a 6th-8th club.

Let's be honest: people don't/didn't tune in to watch agreeable, mild -- but most importantly, normal -- people on there; if you don't have a veritable who's who of weird, quirky... idiosyncratic folk on channels that people tune into for the 'lols', they aren't going to last long.

Robbie's going to scour the fanbase and social media soon enough for some more 'characters', or the channel will have no real draw to it.

Always makes me laugh with some of these Arsenal fans they hype up these players and compare them favourably to rival players but when they lose games they trot out the "it's the players" line to defend Mikel :lol:

Case in point DT last season, spent half the season using that argument to try and deflect the heat of Arteta but then did a combined Arsenal (in 10th at that moment) and United (in 2nd) Xl and put 7 Arsenal players in it.
