Never really thought bad of Robbie, even though I detest the monster he created. I think his intentions were good, but what is popular came before integrity.
The interview looks like typical TalkShiite shouting over each other, though, tbh.

I thought they were both talking over one another. I think Robbie was taking the criticism a bit too personally when he needn't have and at the same time I don't understand some of the criticism from Jordan either. They want the channel to be more constructive rather than abusive, and they do get fans on there who do talk intelligently occasionally, but the fact is a lot of fans aren't the brightest.
Robbie says it's a place where fans can speak, but the certain fans are picked because they are controversial, hence we all love watching AFTV when Arsenal lose, and it seems to me, opposing fans prefer his channel compared to Arsenal fans.
The interview was certainly entertaining, if nothing else

Simon Jordan is a cant
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was the same at school, he wasn't the most popular lad back then tbf (very good footballer though).
Despite that i do agree with much of what he says regarding the game today.
As for AFTV, i think DJ summed it up for many.
Don't even need to listen to it to know that Simon Jordan is in the wrong.
Robbie held his own and came across well, talksheite tried to destroy him and failed miserably whilst just looking like the massive hypocrites and morons they are.
Think AFTV is reflective of a minority of fans TBH. AFTV are a runaway caricature / parody / joke as far as I am concerned and exploit people with mental health issues (Claude and Ty) in the name of so-called entertainment. AFTV , Talksport, Newspapers, social media channels are all part of the problem as far as I am concerned - stirring up stories, and creating the 'impatient' culture that we have now. We don't give anyone time these days - and social media outlets have a lot to do with that.

Robbie was right in saying that AFTV and Talksport do the exact same thing,he was wrong in saying its a platform for Arsenal fans to air their opinions because its the usual suspects every time
Jordan was right in saying that Robbie has a conflict of interests,he profits from every bad result Arsenal gets
Neither of them came across well if I am honest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Robbie doesn't have an influence on our results so there's no conflict of interests. Does he want us to lose games so he can make more money, I doubt it personally as he's built it to a level where he'll get a lot of views regardless. I've got no issues with him profitting out of AFTV, it's not an easy thing to get it to over 1m subscribers. Simon Jordan came across as a massive in the interview.
If it wasn't for Wenger making Arsenal terrible Robbie and Co would be nobodys now they'd be poor,so they owe Wenger big time and that Simon bloke was right what he said about AFTV!
I watch AFTV win lose or draw. I thin it is very obvious that Robbie and all the fans are very passionate about the team. They range from overly optimistic (Ty) to others who are not as optimistic. I think they all are overjoyed when we win and are livid when we lose. I think they all want what we do - manager who knows what he is doing and sadly, Wenger went from having blind spots in defense and goalkeepers to being unable to motivate the team. They also want a team that competes in every game.. player who show that they care. None of the fans I have heard feel entitled to win stuff.
I also feel like the bad rap comes from fans of other teams who only tune in for the rants as they can be entertaining and this is why people claim Robbie makes more when we lose. But he and the fans have never wanted us to lose.
AFTV also has some good tactical analysis with Graham that is always worth a watch as are the conversations with DT and Troopz. I stay away from Ty and Claude as Ty is deluded

I call bullsheiit. AFTV is by the fans for the fans. Robbie saw an opportunity way before anyone else. He was doing this BEFORE Wenger out became a movement. Simon is a pompous caaaaant who cant see that talksheit does the EXACT same thing minus cameras. All their ratings come from controversy and fielding calls from upset fans.
Wonder if the criticism would be the same if Robbie was white? He also picked on Troopz than go for DT. The Man U channel is just as foul mouthed as AFTV but doesnt attract the same attention.
Have never listened to Talksport.
Sounds like a load of crap from what Ive heard.
As for AFTV
This is not the only fan channel going.
Spurs have Expressions who is their version of Troopz.
Chelsea have The Angry Rant Man who is a real gem.
Man Utd have Rantz and Bantz - Another troopz spin off
The fan channel I find the most entertaining is West Ham.

Robbie is happy deep down when Arsenal lose as it means lots of ££££ and theres no two ways about it!

And it was something very few people knew or cared about. Then the likes of Claude and Ty, DT, Troopz started getting attention and Robbie realised irrational people got more clicks and went down that road and started making money off it.
