I dont see the point of celebrating cup success unless you win the cup, thats a very Spurs thing. You should be better.

Its only sport...the nature of it is to enjoy yourself. If winning 5-0 in a knockout leg does that for you, then good for them.

If you can't celebrate 5-0 vs anyone at the top level, what the hell are we doing any of this for?

So they make a few quid off the back of expressing their opinion about a team they've cared about for decades.

The reason he makes his astronomical wages, and is invited to places like the Oxford Union is the fan bases in football. Get a grip, entitled millennial opinion at its finest. Bellend.

On a similar note, he complains about them making more money when arsenal loses, but it is not like him and his teammates hand back wages in the weeks when they haven't played well enough to deserve them and if his point about them getting more viewers for videos after bad performances there would seem to be an obvious solution to that too.

This is the response from Robbie (the owner of AFTV):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9V7pxJ2UUQ&pbjreload=10

Makes a lot of good points to be fair. Sure, lots of opposition fans will watch the videos after they lose, that's just what oppo fans do. But for Bellerin to say they aren't real fans and are just trying to profit off their losses is incredibly disrespectful imo.

Interesting comments from Bellerin.  ???

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/11252806/hector-bellerin-criticises-arsenalfantv-for-feeding-off-clubs-failures

I was quite interested in his Molbyesque Spanish/London hybrid accent. But yes, whilst it's funny for us to watch when Arsenal lose, he makes some good points which I tend to agree with. Seems to come across as more a money/fame making exercise than anything else.

You could say the same for platforms like The Anfield Wrap, or Redmen TV, if you wanted. Arsenal fan TV is just a fanzine like any other.

Wenger on Welbeck: "He might not be a goalscorer like Harry Kane..."

I mean that's the understatement of the century. He's a striker who has managed 59 career goals in approaching 300 games.

Would be quite funny apart from the fact we made the last 16 of the Champions League every year we were in it.

Now if you had just said Arsenal finally make it past the first knock out round of a European competition, that would have worked!  ;)

The worst thing about Wellbeck is that when he gets dashed from Arsenal he will still find a home at a premier league club. I don't think he would top score in League 1 if he was in the best team. He just doesn't have it. Never has, I suspect he never will.

Should be interesting, I'd expect Arsenal to go through but that's a grim draw elsewhere for them. You'd think Atletico, Dortmund, Red Bull Liepzig, Lazio and Lyon should all get through their draws. None of the really strong sides have drawn each other.

At full strength Arsenal are comfortably better than AC Milan. Problem in the Europa league is that Welbeck is going to be leading the line again, should be an interesting game.

Should be fun. I think both of us have beaten them in the knockouts of the CL haven't we?

We beat them in the knockouts in 2005. You beat them in 2008 right? Cant remember what happened after that :)
