I know they lost 6-2 but leeds played good football, attacked and should have scored 4 or 5 at least.
They went down fighting no matter how hard the fight seemed.

Unsurprisingly (due to Poch citing Bielsa as one of his inspirations), they look like a weaker version of us 2015-2019. High pressing, attacking football that's easy on the eye but their lack of quality means they'll often come unstuck. If they remain in the Prem and Bielsa can build his team with the right backing, they could be a real problem in years to come.

They’re beyond naive though. Utd have struggled at home all season to break teams down, yet Leeds decided to be ultra open and made it easy for Utd

I think it's also the fact that the gimmick has worn out. There's still a level of enjoyability knowing that Arsenal fans are suffering but seeing Troopz scream blud and fam every two minutes or DT just throw his toys out the pram, that repetitive nature is no longer is humorous but you still get that wry smile knowing it's Arsenal related, even though they themselves are tedious ****s.

Props to Robbie though, he must be making a fortune so I have to give it to him, he asks the right questions too and often plays devil's advocate in order to provoke the sort of responses that get the viral views on YouTube and Twitter mentions. Being a goon aside, he also seems a decent bloke.

You don't even get that anymore, as Troopz jumped ship a while ago

Wouldn't surprise me if AFTV sent troopz over the the states, to get AFTV known over there. Like a splinter group thing

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that's something Robbie has already thought about. He seems a very smart bloke and I think he understands how to bring in an audience. Fan clubs all over the world these days, America, Asia, Africa etc, tap into that and the bloke will be laughing more than he already is.

Quick search on google throws up different numbers but sounds like he could have a net worth of around £1.5m at the moment, not bad for basically videoing yourself and others talking about your football club, eh?

Its mental mate, AFTV isn't even up there as one of the best earners on youtube.

Some of these game streamers earn millions from youtube alone, not including the millions of kids who send send "subs" in, I've watched half an hour of one of those ****s and I **** you not I counted over 4k in subs alone, in half an hour, 1dollars to 500 dollars, just fuking donations <laugh>

Yeah I've heard about the gamers, that KSI guy is a mega millionaire. He was actually down the Bill Nich pub about 7 or 8 years ago filming the build up to the NLD. If I'd known how big he was gonna get back then I'd have befriended him then and there <laugh>

I've even seen on the AFTV streams where the comment section on the bottom left has a pay feature where your comment gets stickied for a while or something so that Robbie and co and can read it out and debate on it, seen some pay like £25-£50 to post it... ****ing hell to think I let you lot on here read my posts for free, criminal like <laugh>

He's got a fight lined up with Mayweather in Feb. Madness. Dread to think how much dough he'll make getting slapped up by Floyd.

EDIT: And apparently he has a brother who's trying to get a fight with Conor in MMA.

Yeh "superchats" they call em, loads of these live content channels have em now.

Its not always the things you'd imagine being the most popular though... I'm sure one of the top earning channels is a tech guy who basically gets gadget **** sent to him, that he opens and tests and reviews, and keeps after most times I'd guess.

And some tranny make up dude from LA or summin. Reviews make up rlor some ****, multi millionaire and some from it.

Not sure my balding head and brown/ ginger beard would look too great with makeup so that's an avenue I'm gonna have to skip <laugh>

I'm definitely in the wrong line of work though. This digital era is the way to go now, influencers/ YouTubers/ Bloggers etc, rolling in it.

It terms of the football ones, even the main channels lik sky and bt are now having guys like oozing sawce expressions on a Saturday morning slot, seen the utd stand lads on there too this last season.

Now most of em aren't worth watching bar the after game fallout, too many are a bunch of millennial ****s not actually talking football seriously but on a prem board bantz level screaming at each other for likes.. those I like to avoid but a few, like the kick off, the Anfield wrap are not that.. The rare just grown ups talking in a grown up way about the game and the big channels know they need to watch out for these ones because they do offer something that people want to see.

The way we watch TV and what we watch will change dramatically over the next 10/20yrs.

Could be the beginning of the end for big firms like sky who knows where it will go.

Can't stand expressionz or the wearetottenham tv guys. My Cousin's had a go at one of them in the past, told them to do one in certain terms with their camera as they were next him one game waffling and waving the thing about. Majority of people like going to a game and either socialising or just cheering the team on, not having some spacker next to you giving pathetic minute by minute commentary and overreacting to everything for effect.

Yeah I've seen the Kick Off once or twice I think, it's with the hench bearded geordie bloke and a few others, right? If so that one's pretty good and I enjoyed their stuff as well as the level of humour, wasn't petty ****, it was good solid dry and sarcastic banter and that's right up my street. Would happily watch more of that.
