Without Robbie… there’s no successful fan channels. Yes AFTV reached new heights during the banter era, but it opened the door for multiple people to make a living and evolve. It also gave the fans a voice and it still does today. People only dislike it because it doesn’t benefit them themselves. Much respect it Robbie.

This is a raw interview on a young man who wanted to succeed through faith and hard work, sticking to the plan anyhow anywhere anytime and never letting his parents down .Success is surely failure turned inside out . Robbie was built differently to make it wasn't easy, bravo .A podcast young men should watch and listen. thank you Robbie and Calum.

Don Robbie made a whole new aspect to sports media, cut the legacy media out completely, and they hated him for it. Robbie's success is entirely of his own making, and he deserves every penny he makes.

I saw the interview on Talk Sport. It was an ambush. I'm a United fan from the States' respect "Robbie and AFTV"

20 mins in and my respect for Robbie has increased a lot. Something about being raised by good, loving, strict parents that is such a blessing!

One of the issues raised for me is the way people complain there are not enough positive role models promoted in the MSM and when there is a wonderful shining example like Robbie the MSM are quick to try and tear them down. The Main Stream Media is slowly dying thanks to the bravery and hard work of people like Robbie.

My three favorite channels: The Calum Johnson Show, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

He’s ours and we love him. God bless you, Robbie.

I do not know you Robbie, but I am so proud of you and what you have achieved through Arsenal Fan TV. My son shared this video with me and I am so pleased. You are an inspiration. God bless you.

I remember hearing something when I was very young. ‘Nobody wants to see you do better than them’. If you’re doing well in an area others aren’t, they will be envious of it, and be wanting to see you fail. That includes some you believe to be friends and even family. Being aware of this is very very important.

I'm not a football follower, Robbie but my brother in law, Daniel Ossei-Nyinaku who coaches Dulwich Village youth teams for many years, is an avid listener of AFTv and the Callum Johnson show. I was riveted. You both are special and clearly protected by the Most High through such loving, generous parents. Thank you for such a frank and open conversation. We are here, in the UK, for a reason. When that time comes, we will see God work in a big way!

Having the famous Don Robbie on here is awesome. Also, when Don Robbie started AFTV, a top KZread executive told him it wouldn't work. Don Robbie kept his dream flowing with his desire to make AFTV a success and later down the road, the KZread executive contacted Don Robbie to apologise for getting it totally wrong.

This podcast was refreshing. It's beyond football. It touches all aspects of life. Learnt a lot

The Simon Jordan quote about making money off of toxicity... He talking about TalkSport? Or Sky Sports News? Or Sky News in general? OR ANY NEWS OUTLET IN GENERAL.... Is he obvlious to the world...😅 Adds no value to broadcasting, he's just a Robin, never a Batman! 😂 People hate because people aren't supposed to break through without permission. Getting attacked by other gooners is just because the club was in turmoil n they're taking their anger out on AFTV because it's easy. Big up yourself Robbie. You're a proper entrepreneur n a proper gooner. You'll always be guilty of inflicting Ty on the world though 😂 Let's do the business this season!!! #COYG #ATID 🔴⚪️

As a chelsea fan fom Houston I love nothing more than an Arsenal meltdown on AFTV. Always get a great laugh out of it. And this dude made it all happen and paved the way for this type of voice. Huge respect.

Didn't think I would watch the whole thing but I saw myself in every question and the wisdom was 100%. This was a good job. Shout out to the interviewer as well. He dug deeeeep and asked questions you would never ask and got the real juice

Fantastic interview. Really interesting and honest from Robbie. He’s stood up to the haters so well. He trounced Jordan & White on their own turf so well, they turned comments off. Hearing your story Robbie, major respect and well deserved.

Dad was a plasterer. Done the same shift in the summer. Real graft! I see why Robbie has done well. Big up parents. Well done sir!

You can just tell Robbie is a nice guy, he’s also a fair and objective fan. He give respect to other teams

Seen many of Don Robbie's interviews, but this hands down is the best. Great questions asked and it's different to other channels that ask the "norm". Big up Calum!

Such a lovely guy man, he just radiates positivity and wisdom. Top guy Robbie.

Yes Crucial Robbie, big respect and much success to you mate. I'm a huge united fan but your channel is one of the first KZread channels I subscribed to full stop, Keep on keeping on.

As someone who watched AFTV, it's been great to see it grow. There is some great content. They had to fight against many angles but look at them now. Bravo for keeping it up. It's opening the door for many other fan channels.

He was the pioneer in all that, and every fan channel that came after that was just following Robbie's footsteps. Love him or hate him, you gotta give him credit. Cheers Robbie, from Bangladesh.
