Why did ArsenalFan TV change its name?

The YouTube channel has been forced to change its name with Arsenal Football Club fearing its own reputation is being hindered by it.

The Gunners accused the channel of using 'Arsenal' without the club's consent, and their audio and video recordings were having a negative impact on the club.

There YouTube uploads have racked up almost 500 million views since they began in October 2012, where they regularly criticise player and manager performances.

Is Robbie Lyle still presenting the channel?

The former BBC radio host is the face and founder of the YouTube channel, with his character and attitude.

And he is expected to continue, despite launching The Real Football Fan Show on Channel 4 in April 2018.

What is the YouTube channel now called?

Since being forced to remove the name 'ArsenalFan TV', Lyle and his team have rebranded as AFTV.

They continue to post regularly on their YouTube channel and social media, with the same approach as in previous years.
