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>

I saw something a little while back saying that AFTV earns around £350,000 a month. The channel alone earns £4.2m a year. Obviously there's the business operating costs to factor in as well, but it's nuts to think that a fan channel, that predominantly gets its views from Arsenal losing, earn that much. Presumably, that number has increased exponentially in the past couple months!

I don't understand this decision: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55417599
Andersen committed a foul and it was a red card offence, even if you think that what happened subsequently was a dive.
Are they saying that it wasn't a foul or that it wasn't a red? They've lost me.

Add to that the ref looked at VAR, deemed it a foul...and now it's not a foul apparently

Oh well, I guess the referee's decision isn't final anymore, so let's try and get 3-0 up during the warmup tomorrow

The pull just outside the was a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity. As the ref gave a penalty it should have been a second yellow as it didn’t prevent a goal scoring opportunity. The VAR official should seen that the foul was outside the area and told the the referee that that was a matter of fact not judgement. Fulham would still have lost their player for one match but not necessarily lost a goal.
 
Now that Brentford and Citeh are in the semi-finals I think we know what one of the matches will be. Believe me I would be very happy to be wrong about this.

I can’t really complain at who we might get if we get through Stoke tonight. Chelsea aside we’ve had some pretty favourable draws in cups this season. We’ve only played one game in the league cup due to the Orient bye and we now have a quarter final against a Championship side. FA Cup we’ve drawn the lowest ranked side and in Europa we’ve got Wolfsberger who we *should* beat having had a relatively easy group (in which we should’ve done even better in).

AFTV did. They were tugging themselves off at kickoff that Micah Richards namedropped them and said they had the right idea by dropping the first team for the kids

Well, this was partly the issue.

Arteta didn't really play the kids like he should have done.

He played a bunch of players who will be leaving us in the Summer, second-string players who aren't good at, well, anything....he also played a few first-team regulars who also regularly underperform. Then he played one or two younger players in the midst of all this.

We've got a bunch of youngsters who have looked hungry and eager to make an impression when they've played in the Europa. We probably still would have lost had they featured, but at least it would have shown a different way forward, whilst simultaneously making clear the Chelsea game was more of a priority.

It was Mustafi's 150th Arsenal appearance yesterday....yes, you read that right. If you keep picking players that disappoint you, you can't be surprised when they keep doing it.

The double jeopardy rule doesn't count if it's a deliberate foul in the box, which the ref deemed it to be.
I think it was outside the box, but that would still be a red.
I've no idea how he's escaped a ban. They must be saying that it wasn't a foul, which is a bit ludicrous.
