Don Robbie’s one of the coolest characters in the football meta. This gonna get ur channel poppin now 💯👍🏾
Robbie gets too much unnecessary negativity... big up the Don Robbie
People are jealous how much he’s making just from a fan CH. dude making millions.
He gave negativity a platform .Be it by design or by circumstance .As the face of the channel he served as a proxy for the negativity the channel ,well channeled .
@@ChevalNektosha So you'd rather he only put out positive stuff about the club? Even when the fans are rightly fuming? That would just be so weird to censor it like that.
his entire content was built on spewing "unnecessary negativity".
He wanted to give fans a voice it was never his intention to make money off negativity and arsenal failures lol
Fans went mental and that went viral, but I doubt it was anything robbie planned in advance.
But anyway I wish sum1 would ask him more about why he won't let anyone mention palestine or raise awareness about it, when he's been perfectly OK with other political causes
Big up Robbie always supporting Jamaica as a yard man. He’s the man that start the fan tv in England
Robbie used to bust some Reggae tunes way back in the '80s also.
This is why I respect AFTV even during our banter era. I see other channels for rival teams not put content out when they lose because they wanted to avoid embarrassment or weren’t feeling it. Not even as an Arsenal fan, but I respect Robbie’s hustle.
AFTV was an embarrassment during Wenger out days. Robbie brought on negativity by having wankers Prat in the hat and stalking ex, Lee Batty Boy Gunner and Moh obsessed Chelsea, who used the channel to bring in his palatine shit
I've watched AFTV since day 1 and have nothing but the utmost respect for Robbie. We all know the real reason some hate him.
What made Robbie and the AFTV crew did in the early years is what sets them apart…persons that started the hate against the channel because arsenal was losing. AFTV didn’t put the team together or coached them. AFTV travelled the world during preseason and brought us close to the team and the club. Nothing that any other channel had done or even thought of. Arsenal football club didn’t even had a fan tv. Robbie and the team revolutionized what we now know.
Robbie humility as a human being brought him thus far...Real guy don robbie
Robbie handled this interview very well...much respect and admiration for what he's built with AFTV💯💪🏿
Basically the hidden narrative is AFTV does well when Arsenal lose. That snake on TalkSport Ray Parlour was the instigator of that false bs. Never liked him since then. Big up The Don
It’s really as simple as this .. if someone thinks AFTV deserved criticism for contributing to the negative atmosphere around Arsenal during those dark years when Arsenal sucked, then to be logically consistent the only position you can hold now Arsenal are playing great is to believe AFTV have in some way contributed to the positivity.
i watched aftv during the wenger years so i can see that i am not the only one who saw that we needed change.
I have followed and supported Arsenal for years and I have found Arsenal very entertaining for many years , it is not all about trophies although they do help !
How long have you been supporting arsenal for? You sound like a young fan only been supporting for about 10 years or something. If you're a long time fan you surely can't believe that it ain't all about trophies? What kind of mentality is that? 😳🤦🏽♂️ The aim of any elite sport is to win trophies are we really doing this? That kind of attitude we'll never win anything ... BIG arsenal club? Nah less of that
@@warrengrant2992 Oh wow , I did not expect to be attacked because I see football as entertainment and not only trophy hunting ? I am 70 years old and I have followed Arsenal since George Graham was the manager and prior to him was Don Howe ? Get a life you trophy hunter ! FFs Your the type of fan that will leave after a few years and go and follow another team for trophies ?? I would not be surprise if you have not packed your suitcase already to move over to Man City ! lol
@@warrengrant2992 Here is a bit trivia and I wonder if you can answer it , what long term record does Arsenal hold that no other team does ? :) Let see if you can answer !
@@warrengrant2992 Just to close off with you , I do not feel deep down in my heart you are an Arsenal supporter , Arsenal supporters do not attack each other ! So take care which ever club you go to in the future !
@@jamesoftheisaacfamily OK first off cool your older than I expected but I have a great life thanks but being called a trophy hunter ain't an insult to me that's a compliment. 🤷🏽♂️😂
Secondly me wanting trophies though don't mean I don't appreciate the entertainment and love of supporting arsenal don't try and gaslight me like that or even try to question my love for the club. It's my love for the club why I questioned you for saying it ain't all about trophies. 🤔
Thirdly, I've been supporting since the late 90s as I'm 34 big man so trying to call me a fake fan ain't gonna wash as I've BEEN a fan and always will be no moving here!
Fourthly, the long term record we hold is going invincible whole season and going 49 games unbeaten? You thought I didn't know that yeah? Nice try but nope. 🙂
Fifth point, we clearly don't know each other well enough like that. I got your age wrong cool but wonder if you will admit you got it wrong about me NOT being an arsenal supporter too! 🤔
Don't care if you do or not though as your opinion on me doesn't matter to me but to close off with YOU is if you've clearly been supporting longer than me and you don't have higher expectations ans standards to start winning things then I dunno what to tell you. Remember winning breeds winning!
On the contrary, I don't watch Aftv when they lose, only when they win. But im an Arsenal fan that is why.
When teams lose games their fans rant and rave I don't understand why people tried to make out Robbie wanted us to lose, absolute nonsense.
Big up the don everytime
There was a time he ran out of names of countries and started to throwing names of continents 😂
Robbie, you've to apologize to Moh......!!!
Pioneer.
Hate Arsenal with a passion, but I do like Robbie. The fan base is awful. But pure entertainment AFTV is great😂
Is that robbie williams?
❤
CRYRSENAL 🍼 the nightmare on Elm Street saga 😂🧐
The Don, bringing us international fans closer to the club!!!! Keep going Robbie!!
Facts
Thats probably the main reason I watch AFTV, as a German Arsenal fan I don´t really have anyone to speak to about Arsenal, and by watching AFTV I feel like I can connect with other fans that share the same passion
AFTV got all the attention because they were the first fan tv online.
That, plus Troopz's interviews which were unfiltered, genuine, roadman styled rants. The combination of Troopz and other characters which were not media personalities, but actual fans like us which made it relatable, not only to us Arsenal fans but the average fan.
Media personalities always do the same kind of interview and football discussion. This was new at the time.
@@what9331Troopz was wanker. Blud and fam
but also arsenal were shit and it was mainly watched by rival fans
@@what9331 lol relatable. Rival fans flocked to laugh at us, it was embarrassing. Views were only high when we lost
@@reecea5432not really, whenever Arsenal win big games or lose big games, views are still high regardless. Robbie can’t control the score, he will interview whether it’s a win, loss or draw.
The bad times bring in fans of other teams, because they want to watch the meltdowns. It doesn't help the channel grow long-term because they're not Arsenal fans. They won't be back until the next big loss to watch the next meltdown. A lot less non-Arsenal fans watch AFTV when Arsenal have gone 15 games unbeaten and just beat West Ham 6-0. It's better for the channel if Arsenal are doing well for long-term sustainability, as opposed to intermittent spikes in views here and there that are coming from people who won't be consistent viewers.
mann you better become youtuber, what you talking about full make sense, i totally agree with you bro, yess we know aftv or any other channel will get extra view when their club have bad result because other rival fans love watching other fans get meltdown BUT that extra view just bonus because if you just depending on "bad result" content and not trying creative make another topic content then your audience only will back to your channel when your club get bad result which can also watch you meltdown but if your club not get bad result then your channel will not get view.
Big up Robbie and AFTV
Keep going my brother
Robbie has brought Arsenal fans ALL AROUND THE WORLD closer to North London than we could ever ask for.Thamk you Don Robbbie❤❤
Robbie is the right guy to run a fan site like AFTV. He cares more than Arsenal win..that hits. Not many other football sites can say that.
Robbie a legend
The one word not mentioned during this entire interview.
AUTHENTICITY.
The reason why AFTV was so successful was because it was authentic.
Real fans. Real reactions. Real opinions.
Big up Robbie and the aftv arsenal family
The AFTV negative narrative is boring. We were in a bad place hence the results, fans were frustrated. If we were a small club like spurs the spotlight wouldn't be on us when doing bad. Of course football fans worldwide are going to tune into aftv and enjoy our pain.
At some point Arsenal were so bad people actually used to blame AFTV for the results and mood around the club.
Craziness really, like blaming the weather man for the weather. A bunch or random fan interviews cant be scripted if the team is bad people will say it.
Funny now the team is doing well the channel is positive 😅, wonder if they blame AFTV for the wins.
They're now blaming AFTV for being delusional and arrogant these days 😂 they're moving goal posts
Love this guy. Not a huge fan of some of the people he's interviewed over the years, but he's always been a great host.
Smart move by milking money from negativity
Look, i like The Don and AFTV, but your not being truthful if you think the negativity wasnt the thing that exploded AFTV. Me myself started watching AFTV after the Arsenal-Liverpool game, with the famous line "When is it gonna end, Robbie" from DT. There were THOUSANDS just like me who started watching after seeing those famous videos of Troopz, DT, Ty etc... I stopped watching after they became good, because its not the same entertainment anymore. Im sure im not alone on this aswell.
Robbie himself has always been a positive for Arsenal, but let’s have it right, the cronies that he was exploiting on AFTV were disgusting. DT, Troopz, Claude all made AFTV a laughing stock and disgraced the club and it’s real fan base. Robbie knew what he was doing. He was pimping out those idiots for the views of all the non arsenal fans just watching to banter, and the mid guided young Arsenal fans who watched regularly were influenced by those muppets and it bread nothing but a shit culture for the club. AFTV was poison.
Even if you were not a Wenger supporter at that time,the way people were treating Wenger on Robbie’s platform,was outright disgusting. At the peak of the Wenger out toxicity, this channel profited off so much negativity.
Made fans turn on each other. Robbie might started off with pure intentions, but over time, he is responsible for perpetuating the abuse Wenger got.
The way Wenger left Arsenal was a disgrace and AFTV played a part
@@stannats2637 agreed mate
You are bunch of pricks. Wenger is a big man himself and fans have a right to voice their opinion like it or not. Aftv has nothing to do with the way wenger leave. Aftv was just the messenger. We've gone to medicore and was heading backwards under wenger in the latter stage of his carrier and this what we have endure and thats bantering from other fanbase because neither the owners and manager seems to care one bit. Fans were just voicing their opinion. So dont blame aftv. The fans are what built this club so if they think they are not getting their money's worth they have all the damm rights to demand better.
As grateful as we are to the professeur, we had the same session year in year out for 7 or 8 seasons in a row knocked out league cup earlyish, UCL round of 16 exactly the same, 3rd or 4th place with usually more than 10 points behind title except 2nd in 2016. And just the odd FA Cup. For a club that was Man Us (my biggest rival) nearest challenger in the early 00s, that was concerning.
I even said id prefer a season of Europa in that spell just to break the monotony. I still don't regret it. Same number of home wins 11, 12 ,13 season in and out. Similar away record. Anything up or down would have given us something different.
Robbie rate him - but the growth of aftv came from the meltdowns and other fans looking on and laughing
Absolutely his channel grew alongside the downfall of the teams fortunes. His Channel correlates with Arsenal losing, after grows when AFC lose. It’s facts but so what, it is what it is. He found a gap in the market and he’s made money from it. Good on him!
I love both Dr Sports and Aftv as they both make you feel part of the group. Keep it up Robbie.
This race has gone to the wire, so, as a City fan, I don't really see Arsenal as suffering any real 'fallout', more just a hitch or stumble .... things could STILL go wrong for City, and right for Arsenal, if we make a mess of things on Sunday ..... and on the final day of last season, that just wasn't the case.
That damaging loss at the Emirates against Villa caused Arsenal to stumble, but unlike Liverpool, their form, and their football since that day has been excellent, they recovered ....... it was better than last seasons 'fallout' of three draws, together with the loss at the Etihad ( Now that really WAS a fallout!) ......... City just seem to have ambled along since their last loss at Villa in early December, without seeing any more defeats, only a few draws, and its put them in this position now .... yet, only on a few occasions over the season, have they really impressed in games.
We are in a world where negative sells these same people making complains the channel blew up were the same people watching the clips...big up the don!
Robbie should talk more about what AFTV actually started as. It gave the fans a VOICE. Something that desperately needed during our banter era. Alongside of course bringing the international fans closer to the club.
However, Robbie shouldn't have let Moh go out for wanting to wear Free Palestine. That's a bit like North Korea Fan TV?
DT, Claude, Troopz is what made prime AFTV. Without them, the channel would not have grown. We always came for them. To top it off, Arsenal going through bad patch is what made it viral. Nobody watches AFTV when they win. Just look at the numbers.
Good Lord, this reminds me of Robbie on talksport getting aggressively criticised by a cokehead looking pink faced man called Jordan Simon or something and that interview, which I had to see after watching Don Robbie's interview by @thecalumjohnsonshow, gave me a pure headache. You've really got to have thick skin to make it over here. Big up Robbie and may God continue to bless you and your hustle.
Rival fans are still all over the comments even now. People just posting nonsense about how Arteta should be sacked, or Arteta has no ambition if he stays at Arsenal. Or "Haha you bottled the league". Or just random hate comments. Rival fans will still be there talking nonsense even if Arsenal win the Quadruple. It's wild to me. I wonder what the demographic of the channel really is, I wonder if most of them are just kids.
The reason AFTV get great ratings when Arsenal are doing well is because the vast majority of Arsenal supporters don’t want to see a group of people whinging, whining and putting the club down. When the team is doing well we know that won’t be present so supporters tune in for the genuine analysis. As soon as there is a hint of trouble on the pitch, AFTV start shouting for the managers head and putting the players down. True supporters find that repulsive to watch. If the team is playing poorly or the club is below standards as it was a few years ago, do something proactive, join the Arsenal Supporters Association and have your say on how the club is run, don’t whinge and moan about it, it’s boring and doesn’t achieve anything.
As an arsenal fan, I felt robbie was unbearable during wenger days lol he was always played devil's advocate and made me go crazy 😅🤦🏻♂
And now you finally understand why. 😅
Robbie was agreeing somewhat with these clowns. The point being AFTV doesn’t need other fans to be successful. All it needs is Arsenal fans and Frankly there is 2 million + fans out there.
If other fans want to watch fine you add to the algorithm. But it’s not made for you. You are the reason why it’s succeeded. The content is not for you yet here you are watching.
People always say AFTV highlighted the negativity in the fan base. Of course they did, most Arsenal fans were very disappointed during that time and I feel they showed that. They also had much more positive fans but no one bothers to watch that
I only watch expressions,when spurs lose,which happens a lot.
Bit delusional to not think the negativity is responsible for the success of AFTV
What about all the former contributers and employees who have moved on from aftv some have hate for robbie and the channel now
Baby Elvis joined the real Elvis after disrespecting the Don here
Don’t see why Robbie ever got hate, there are a load of other guys that are much easier/more fun to hate
Robbie a liar, last two years look how irrelevant AFCTV is now😂
Trophy drought? 4 FA cups in 6 seasons 14-20?
Most popular video is dt going nuts after losing to Liverpool hahaha
The Don. Respect.
I'm an Arsenal fan. I especially watch when we win.
Yes. Some things on AFTV gets out of hand like the rants and stuff. But it's what the unfiltered raw emotions of football fans are. Before the Fan channel thing, mainstream media will only highlight what they want to highlight. Getting opinions from actual fans were unheard of even in the 2000s. Now with UA-cam and fan channel wave, media is getting insecure about the fans focusing more on those than mainstream media
Robbie needs to learn to accept the channel grew due to all the rants, yes it's TRUE but he should not feel shame not it. It was just the time n he hit it at the perfect moment. Nothing wrong with that. He brought up a service to those who needed it, otherwise no one would have used that service. Anyways, COYG!!
“Arsenalfantv get out of our club”
Massive respect to Robbie. All the others on the channel with the exception of Ty have let fame get to their heads.
Only Robbie and Ty are still down to the earth.
The rest are absolutely awful to meet.
The rants made the channel popular for fans of other teams because they enjoyed revelling in Arsenal doing bad.
It would have been great and would have grown for as well if Arsenal were winning and winning well but would have been more popular for Arsenal fans.
It's just worked out that the channel grew in a bad season so that it could blow up right across the board.
Well done to Robbie
I remember the haydays of AFTV and truth be told, people watched it coz of the joke fans and banter club situation.
What iis he talking about , american sports fans do not switch teams. They do, however, like any british fan, get behind the underdog if their team is out of thcontention.. once. a fan, always a fan, just like all fans.
We all watch the football podcasts and channels on UA-cam and none of them exist without this man and AFTV so thank this man for giving you all a voice and a source of entertainment
Don Robbie the great pioneer. Inspired me so must be doing something right
Everyone handled this nicely 😊
Robbie isn't stupid.. for those that don't like Arsenal he's created DR Sports. He is giving young people opportunities
I’ve never understood why people get pissed off for allowing fans a platform for their views, keep it up & long may it continue.
Robbie give me a platform as a Arsenal fan from Czechia. Thank you legend!
Big up the don robbie. I’ve been watching him from when he first started till now. It’s so inspiring how far he’s become
When Arsenal lose I ignore everything Arsenal related, including AFTV.
I bumped into Robbie and had a chat the other day! He is a genuinely nice guy and a genuine fan. He gets too much hate imo
No other fans would Watch aftv if They where winning trophys like City
Now we are on the winning side, I love reliving the goals with the reactions. Gives me a dopamine boost
Respect The Don🫡
Sorry Arsi
Big up Robbie
The Don
They were winning more trophys then 😂😂😂😂
Aftv used to to be for the fans now robbie is all about money. Proved it he sold out for a pound note supporting Tottenham. I followed aftv from the start that stream went to far. Never forget
😳 Didn’t you want Spurs to win the other night against Man City ?
@apc4y difference from wanting to city to drop points then literally twerking for spurs. Did that emblem of 2 elephants from arsenal and Tottenham crossing trunks. That just went too far for me. Everyone got right to their own opinion . No hate to him as I loved his content for years maybe il start watching aftv again at some point I just didn't agree the level of twerking for spurs
@@Random__is__resistance LOL what you are saying makes no sense
Big upp Robbie i respect you as United fan
Robbie is such a nice fella I don't think any opposing fans dislike him. I am a City fan but watch Robbie for a balanced view of everything and Lee Gunner for hard hitting truths.
Lee Gunner lol.
He has an agenda against Arteta coz he aired him lmao
@@vivianvarun7263 Lee gunner is the biggest melt going
@@RGSMANIA Lee Gunner absolute wanker. He thinks he knows it all, only debates teenagers, who won’t stand up for themselves. Chris Hudson, he wouldn’t do it to
The Don Robbie........keep it going and GOYG..
Robbie hiding facts.
Its easy to answer the Q's Rob. Just check your channels popular videos n you can answer the question honestly 😁.
Robbie handled this interview very well...much respect and admiration for what he's built with AFTV💯💪🏿
Thx Rob,Arsenal players and Fans for being the best in and Around the world "BELIEVE" we'll get there keep the channel running its super!
In all honesty, I like Robbie but there’s no denying his platform made a mockery of the Fanbase, club, and also facilitated a lot of negativity/ toxicity within the club.
were any of those fans wrong??
It's only now that we completely cleared out those people running the club and got a decent manager that things have turned around and we are being competitive. For years we lagged behind commercially and our recruitment was shite on top of wenger having power over everything, partly because he didn't trust the other people to do their job. If we had continue with any of those people at the club then this turn around never happens and we're still struggling to make top 4.
That's nonsense. His platform did not do that. Arsenal's results and performances did.
@@RGSMANIAever since Wife beater, Lee Batty Boy Gunner and Chelsea obsessed Moh were binned channel improved
AFTV thrived through negativity... During a time where there was Blondie, Bully etc, the most viral video was of Chris Hudson... AFTV found out early on that outrage sells. That's why he would prop up the likes of Troopz, DT, Judges and at some point Claude. If you look at their videos, AFTV would even clickbait with the (RANT) in the titles of the videos and those personalities would get 10+ more minutes for their fancams than other less over the top people. Judges fancams for example have gone from 300k views to just over 100k because there is no more ranting and negativity. The channel went from giving fans a voice to giving certain fans a voice
AFTV just have to own that at some point their business model was driven off platforming and amplifying negativity
I see what you’re saying but the channel has been growing since then as well. I do believe when they were starting out they were a much more clickbait channel and they were more over the top as it got views and I didn’t watch it, their content now is a lot more of what I can get behind and I believe that is why they are still growing after that flash in the pan. Generally speaking UA-cam back in 2014-17 was such a toxic place, most of the stuff was clickbait, it was almost like the meta to grow your channel and be viral but it’s not a business model for longevity. They acknowledged that the rants go viral more when your team loses tbh anyway, I bet he watches expressions rants when arsenal lose, he just packages his content with funny wordplay when it’s all very similar.
@@tolubewaji8766Claude was the only one who was there for the love of the club
Oh please you guys are ridiculous their team was shit they paid money and travelled to the ground to watch them lose week after week of course they were annoyed and pissed off. It is not the fans jobs to give pr answers thats down to the players and managers. Their were plenty positive guys on their such as ty or juilian but people want to forget that. Know the team is good they are much happier the guys on aftv are no different from any other football fan.
@@matthewdoyle3877 Ty literally goes to mens, women’s and youth games, those guys all love the club. They juts do content, Claude was one of the most vocal Wenger out guys too, for me ty and Turkish love the club most on that show, they’re two different ends of the spectrum, tys more delusional while Turkish is much more rational, he’s been calling out ownership for nearly a decade on the channel
Football would be boring without banter
