AFTV’s Robbie hailed for slating ‘arrogant’ Ty over comments which disgusted him

Arsenal Fan TV (AFTV) host Robbie Lyle has been roundly praised after ripping into Ty over controversial comments he made about Fulham.

The duo were discussing the Gunners' recent 2-2 draw with the west London side and Ty launched into an explosive anti-Fulham tirade while addressing negative chants the away fans were heard singing about Bukayo Saka during the game.

"Who would want to be a Fulham fan?" Ty asked. "Can you imagine? What have you won? Nothing! They've won nothing. They've got nobody."

To his credit, Robbie hit back saying: "Fulham are a club with a rich history. They're won of the oldest clubs in the football league," but was routinely interrupted by Ty who kept asking, "What have they won?"

Visibly irritated, Robbie decided he'd had enough and put Ty in his place, telling him: "Put some respect on their name. Have some respect. Behave yourself, nah I'm telling you now, behave yourself and have respect for them!

"Forget about what they've won. That is one of the oldest clubs in the football league. That is a club with a lot of tradition. They've got a very strong fanbase that's always followed them through thick and thin, and they've had a lot of thin times.

"Just because they ain't won nothing doesn't mean – [Ty attempts to interrupt again] – wait a minute I've got to tell you this right. Just because a club hasn't won anything doesn't mean they're not a great club … you're too arrogant.

"I've got to tell you once and for all, you're a very arrogant football fan. You're always coming out with, 'What have you won?', some football clubs don't have to win anything [to be successful]."

Ty attempted to defend himself by claiming he was simply responding to fans who were "having a go" at Arsenal, but Robbie refused to let him off the hook, replying: "It's football banter! And if you don't like it don't go to a game! Stay at home, watch it on TV."

Footage of the conversation went viral on social media with fans lavishing Robbie with praise not only for sticking up Fulham, but also for bringing Ty down a couple of pegs.

"My respect for Robbie has never been higher. Ty has needed humbling for some time," one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Another said: "Big ups to Robbie. Bang on about Fulham, and good on him for shutting Ty up. Proper arrogant little twerp he is," while a third added: "Robbie is an absolutely boss."
