Arsenal fans turn on Arsenal Fan TV outside Goodison Park

Travelling Arsenal fans turned on the controversial AFTV channel after Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, demanding that the fan-run platform ‘get out of our club’.

Sections of the Arsenal away support voiced their dislike for AFTV during the Premier League clash, and the protests continued outside the ground after the game, with videos on social media appearing to show angry fans confronting the show’s host, Robbie Lyle.

The platform, previously known as Arsenal Fan TV but forced to change its name by the club, canvasses fan opinion in the aftermath of games.

It has been heavily criticised by sections of the media and Arsenal fanbase, who believe the platform profits from the club’s misfortune, with videos of irate fans earning millions of views across social media.

Just last week, Lyle was involved in a heated debate with former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan on national radio over the issue.
