Riling the fans up against the club, protests, plane banners, just ratcheting up the whole situation when actually the clubs need to just concentrate on getting the club to work, instead of dealing with the latest fan rubbish stirred up by some internet celeb. AFTV were called out by their club for it, ex Arsenal players have weighed in the fans themselves have asked for it to be stopped, its destructive tv. And I for one will not enjoy fans of other clubs taking the piss out of City because of some internet celebrity making money off of our lack of success.

If it happens :)

Absolutely no reason whatsoever to think this guy would do any of that though. Robbie from AFTV is borderline evil in the way he manipulates people with clear mental health issues for views, the vast majority of fan channels (while not everyone's cup of tea) are just regular people.

I am genuinely flabbergasted that anyone would waste their time watching a City (or any other team) fan channel. Obviously this cock end has done himself or us no favours.

why are you so bothered? You don’t watch any YouTube videos and don’t waste your time with it, but you sound genuinely angry about a short clip..

Whilst at the same time spending your time on a fan forum

When people really take the time to pull it apart, they’ll see that he’s actually holding a mirror up to the wider fan base and passing an ironic commentary on how entitlement and arrogance is creeping into the supporters after 14 years of almost constant success.

At the same time he’s actually educating the younger fan base on who Peterborough are and shining a light on how City are only 22 years removed from the clubs lowest ebb and we should really all appreciate the ride more because we could have been Worse off than even Peterborough.


Or maybe he was just making a joke? Who knows.

I actually like these two guys but I’m surprised at this clip. He’s shown himself up there. I hope he regrets it…a bit out of character from what I’ve seen.

I like Goldbridge too it’s like watching Alan Partridge and the fact that he slates United despite being a supporter is even better. He gives them a harder time than we do.

City Xtra will appeal to a different generation than a lot of BM posters but I’m down with the kids init?

I thought I was on my own. He gives City shit a lot too but why wouldn't he?! It's mostly about clicks for him and getting clipped/going viral when discussing City/Utd/other clubs but you can tell he's alright behind that whole charade.

The number of times he says ”look at City they’re fantastically run from top to bottom whereas we are basically a pile of shit”

Goldbridge is supposed to support Forrest
 
Well done to you lot bringing that tweet a lot of attention and in turn getting the dippers and rags in the guy's mentions sending abuse over football. Take your purist nonsense hat off, a lot of fans now do this for banter or whatever, not just ours, it's not something great but he obviously wouldn't have expected to go viral from a posh fan watching his video. It's really not that serious, neither is it that deep. Just move on.
 
You thought this one was bad, did anyone catch the Ronaldo video they released when it looked like he was signing? It was deleted very quickly lol

Edit: "Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Goldbridge isn’t a real person. Goldbridge is who the guy acts as - Mark Goldbridge from Nottingham, a Manchester United fan - is the character he plays.

In real life he’s called something completely different and supports his local team.

Some people would be flabbergasted that we’ve racked up tens of thousands of posts on a City forum, it’s just different ways of being in touch with fellow fans and discussing City.

Is there actually much difference between the match thread on here and a YouTube watch along? Are the comment threads on here that different to under a YouTube video?

Its a different demographic for sure, but that’s the only real difference and a lot of the criticism here seems to be very “old man yells at cloud” when people are getting worked up over speech patterns and vocabulary.

Being fair id group the loons who frequent match day threads with people who watch someone watching the game on YouTube, each to their own im just glad I caught the going to the game bug when my old fella dragged me to Maine Road back in the early 90s

Or before that King of the Kippax or the GMR post-match phone-ins! Some of the stuff I used to hear on GMR especially used to make me cringe at how embarrassing it was for grown men to be ringing and losing the plot, and I was only a kid!

That’s just what has become the narrative like the Emptyhad. He’s addressed it endlessly till he got bored of it.

Course he has, because he probably earns enough from his channel that he doesn’t have to work. I’m sure he’d do a 24 hour watch-along to argue the point until I was blue in the face to ensure I wasn’t losing followers and thus my income.

The bloke is a Forest fan and called Brent though, no matter what else he fools people with.

But he’s a clever fella, he’s chosen the club with the most armchair fans who never go to Old Scaffold in the country and knows there’ll be a load of lemmings who’ll follow and stream his videos. And *ca-ching* he earns a fortune off it. He wouldn’t get that from a Forest channel.

All correct except he is a United fan and has been since he was little. If you know for sure otherwise then I stand corrected.

Either way I find him very funny….I don’t really care who he supports.
