robbie im so happy
I think you earnt it bro!
The Don magnanimously teaching at a struggling inner city school like Oxford - such humility!
🤣😂😅🔥🎓📚
I don't know which inner city college has a budget of over £2B/year😂😂
@@jamesbond4810 Chump change for the Don, mate!
lmao
😂
As a Chelsea fan, I got to say massive respect to Rob, for what he has created. Plus, being a honoured guest speaker at Oxford Union. I hope you get more success in the future.
Top man
Robbie is a true man of the people (for the people)
Chelscum
@@CEO786"Hey Brains, did you come up with that slur all by yourself"? 🤣🤣🤣
@@CEO786 we actually prefer chelski
chelscum just doesnt have the same ring to it
I still maintain that Robbie Lyle is vert very underrated. What he has done for football has meant that fans now have a say and can voice their opinions in ways they see fit. Think about allllllllll the fan channels for different teams around the world, they all have homage to pay to Robbie. And hearing him hear is amazing!!
big facts
You know you re a great dude when people banter arsenal all the time but everyone loves robbie ♥
Oh my good god..This 'underrated' youtube comments section fetish is out of control...It's comical...
Yeah troops and dt had a great say blud
his channel has led to: death, abuse, threats and racism.
Disgusting channel.
I'm in tears mate . Long live Don Robbie
🎓
The DON!
BIG UP DADA DON!
@jimmy neutron nice one, but keep it to yourself mate.
@jimmy neutron 🤣😭💀
Never thought I’d see Rob at Oxford. AFTV made me an Arsenal fan and it’s great to see him get a chance to talk in this setting.
You're probably one of those new Arteta fans.. No wonder why the club has fallen..
@@despisesimps5997 Yeah! We shouldn’t have any new fans. Just old ones! 🙄🤡
@@despisesimps5997 I've supported arsenal since 97 and I back Arteta at the moment
@@despisesimps5997 yeah that makes sense doesn’t it?
They gave him the main hall as well wow! Only big named speakers get that.
Robbie Lyle is AMAZING. His product is going to be a Billion pound asset. Especially because he is very smart about building a community.
Well done Don Robbie.
Fantastic Robbie big respect great achievement and plenty more for the future
The size of this W for Oxford is huge.
Wonderful that Robbie weathered that storm with a jealous few trying to end him a couple years back and since then, he has grown even more. I hope he continues to prosper and grow his brand.
Dear Stylistecs: In what way did they try to "end him?" Please expound.
Amazing to have Robbie on. A true pioneer, trailblazer & visionary. Keep up the hard work 🙌🏾
Before AFTV fans did not have a voice or platform to express their views. With AFTV Robbie and his team have single handedly changed how fans around the world are able to interact with their chosen club. Arsenal Football Club have just returned from an extremely successful US tour, all three games were sold out and fan/club interaction was unprecedented. Without AFTV the fan base globally would not have the deep connection they have with the club as they do now. AFTV are global pioneers and are a voice for fans of every tongue and tribe all over the world. Robbie we salute you and wish you even more success.
Hear hear 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Facts 👏🏿🙌🏾✊🏿

AFTV MADE ARSENAL A LAUGHING STOCK!!!
Ever heard of Talk Sport? Football phone ins pre-date the internet. But kudos to AFTV.
Well done Robbie good to see you get the platform and respect you deserve. You will go down as a true icon for not only the black community but for all who work hard to achieve great things in life!
Goosebumps! Priceless words of a wisdom best said by a man, guaranteed to hit your soul. A legend in the flesh!
What an absolute legend!
Robbie is never arrogant or aggressive, he is a genuine nice guy and supporters of other teams have
great respect for him and are very willing to talk to Robbie so rivalry is just that with Robbie, rivalry, not
hatred or aggression and non Arsenal fans have great respect for Robbie cause he has respect for
other teams and their fans and it works, brilliantly. good on ya Robbie (LFC fan).
Im not even an Arsenal fan, but I really respect Robbie always fun, but also serious!
I don't know and have never met Robbie personally but I'm so proud and happy for him for what he's achieved. His consistency like he said, his resilience, creativity are incredible
A lesson in reinventing yourself in life.
I’m not an arsenal fan but we’ll done Robbie, fantastic achievement.
Very well done Robbie!
So so happy for you and AFTV!
This is on a different level, very respectful intellectual level!
Big big CONGRATULATIONS!
I've been following AFTV from the very first days and I loved it from the first watch!
This is our "The Arsenal" outside the football pitch!
I wrote this and now I'm watching/listening with great interest!
Robbie's success is AFTV's success and ultimately is our mutual success.... Success of our big Arsenal family ❤️
I'm glad that destiny elected you (out of all possible) to be The Chosen One to represent us all fans of "The Arsenal".
Very dissent, humble, intelligent, family man, great friend, great in handling defeat and success, socially aware, politically correct, great knowledge of Arsenal FC.... Could not have happened to a better man!
You've made us all proud!
Congratulations!
Great benchmark for AFTV!
Love it!
After this heavy session, the university gave up ownership of the entire organisation to don Robbie. The don now owns oxford university. Also reports say they said to El donné himself, you have liberated us and we are honored to have heard you speak.
😂😂
Robbie has taking Arsenal to a greater height around the Universe. Welldone Robbie
You made it bro, we are all proud of you ✊🏿 Don Robbie
Don Robbie's made it to Oxford Union. Absolute legend.
Robbie man you are something special. You democratized football opinions and football media. You forced Sky to acknowledge you and the fans. You created an entire genre of content on UA-cam. You are an all time great.
Real entrepreneur saw a gap in the market for fans. Now everyone is following his blueprint. Legend.
Spot on.
The number of clones out there are getting ridiculous.
This was incredible to listen to. He described every memory in such great detail for a few seconds I closed my eyes and could see his story as a movie.
Just when I thought Robbie couldn’t get any bigger, this happens. This is just a whole new level of scenery… congrats and keep it up Robbie! Doing us Gunners proud 👏👏😎
Don Robbie at Oxford
Ty couldn't be there as we mustn't forget it's been raining...
Spurs fan here but congratulations Robbie on this invite. Much respect to you!!
The Don, surveying his vast empire... epic.
Man like Robbie you know
Don't know the guy but so pride of his journey and where he's at right now
I am impressed with Oxford Union being able to land the Don. I am sure they are grateful to Robbie to set aside time to sit down with them , what a truly generous gesture.
Congratulations to Oxford union for managing to acquire 58 minutes of the Dons time
The Don at Oxford. You can't beat that! :)
I had never imagined how much AFTV has elevated my love for Arsenal until now!
You're kidding me? I like Robbie, like some elements of AFTV, but many elements / people / presenters / content is annoying. There is better content out there.
Absolute legend
Robbie you are a true inspiration to all of us. I've learned so much from you and I respect your energy and drove so damn much. That fact that you built AFTV THEN built DR Sports and allowed people to have other platforms off of you is just incredible. Long may it continue!
Great interview. Despite all the critics that Robbie has from this time at AFTV, I never doubted that he wants to see Arsenal succeed
Regarding out Top 4 miss last season, I personally think the young squad learned more from missing out than they would have if they got Top 4. Don't get me wrong I would have much preferred us get Top 4 but this hard lesson will do them well and now they are another season older. This new experience coupled with the fantastic well thought out signings we have made makes me full of confidence in Arsenal this season.
How kind of the humble Don Robbie to take some time out of his busy schedule and spend time with us regular folk
A true and beautiful trailblazer! You're a lesson in being who you are and doing what you love.
i am chelsea fan)- but let me say this is incredible- claude would be smiling from the heavens -
Who doesn't love Robbie, great guy.
DON ROBBIE BEEN INVITED TO ELITE PLACES ROBBIE IS A LEGEND
As a Chelsea fan, I really admire Robbie. Arsenal are very lucky to have him. He is the ultimate beacon of their fanbase.
don robbie in his gucci suit and rolex watch. he told everyone his suit is from burton mens wear, humble as always!
Seems like a really good guy. Happy for him.
I met Robbie outside Wembley stadium two years ago when my team Harrogate Town won the National league play offs.A really lovely guy.
Well Done Robbie. We are all proud of you
Very gracious of the Don to give up his time for Oxford. A charitable man of the people!
We are proud of you Robbie
Well done Robbie. This is something to be proud of
Atletico de Madrid fan. I got to say that I love watching Robbie's channel and respect tremendously his work in giving your every day fan (knowledgeable and idiot alike) a voice in the sport which they love.
p.s. Check out Robbie in the suit!! Looking sharp!!!
Robbie Lyle is now a "Sports Personality ". Delighted for him...have admired his business acumen and how he has held his own against the backlash from the establishment
Respect for Robbie. Just goes to show how passion for what you love can create a super brand like AFTV
From the Arsenal fans all over the world...we are proud of you don .
I wish there were more deep into his music as he was a Jamaican Dancehall artist in the UK back in the late 80s / 90s 🇬🇧 😂
Robbie, Liverpool fan here, Id like to congratulate you for what you have built. I think its safe to say it every football fans' dream to live off your favourite team. It's not even business, its a hobbie. I enjoy your shows, Biased Premier League Show and Invincible Podcast. Well done , wishing all the best for the future.
I’m a spurs fan but Robbie is a living legend no matter what team u support
From football Don to Oxford Don…. He’s created an entire movement of online fan channels so good luck to him even as a non Gooner.
Yes Don. Haven't even watched it and I'm loving it already.
as a saints fan i watch AFTV this man robbie is a scholar and a gent love all the content they put out
Robbie in suit and tie. He may actually be more influential than Andrew Mangan, which is sort of unthinkable.
There probably isn't many nicer people on the planet than Robbie.
As a spurs fan I screamed "mama we made it." Well done Robbie
Sir Robbie Lyle , King Of Everywhere
Love Robbie. Even though we lose a game I look forward to AFTV reactions. I just love those videos
Robbie is a genius! Impressive endeavor.
my favorite player after the invincivles is santiago Carzola
What bout Sanago ?
Proud of you Robbie!
So humble and kind that professor Lyle gives a free lecture for mankind
love Robbie!! so happy for him, most genuine fan channel. from a Man Utd fan, our channels are so partisan
United fan here. happy for him and AFTV
The Don. The Myth. The Legend. Robbie Lyle
So happy for Robbie - well done! #COYG
One of few people who keeps getting more famous and everyone is happy for him. The way he has been dealing with fame is very unique! I'm an Arsenal fan because of him!
I'm from Canada and love AFTV!
"We are gonna do this" in Robbie's voice❤
I love and respect Robbie Lyle for what he has done and has been doing for the best interest of soccer fans.This is a platform where soccer fans interest and passion has been transcended to another level where they came to realise that without their presence inclusively soccer as a game would be null and void.Thank you very much Robbie for this far sighted insight that you have created so that fans around the globe would grasp they are also an important part of this equation. Cheers...
The FIRST guy who was given the mic did the Ty move right away I’m so dead 💀
Maaaaan I remember Robbie when he first started the AFTV channel. Gave a voice to the fans, now speaking at Oxford. What a legend.
Robbie looking sharp in that suit and talking eloquently about AFTV - It really has been influential, for good and bad, in the way fans have voices.
Don Robbie, much respect from Lagos, Nigeria
Big ups Robbie 👊🏿
Oxford Don
Props to this man, changed fan TV for life.
The GOAT. Fan channel royalty.
Robbie started the fan channel trend. He also started the live group watch along trend during games. Man is Iconic.
