Arsenal Fan TV delivers one of its greatest moments after defeat to Nottingham Forest

Comedic timing at its absolute best

As the full-time whistle rang out around the City Ground, everybody licked their lips at what Arsenal Fan TV would have to offer.

Arsenal Fan TV is fun to watch when Arsenal win but, when the Gunners suffer unexpected defeats, the fan channel is quite simply unmissable.

We’ve seen plenty of highlights from Troopz & Co. over the years and there’s no supporter channel which can even come close to the impact of Arsenal Fan TV, who managed to rile Alan Shearer into a Twitter argument just last month.

It was inevitable that we were going to be treated to some gold when Nottingham Forest claimed an unlikely 4-2 victory over Arsene Wenger’s side in their FA Cup third round clash on Sunday afternoon.

While supporters can rightly feel hard done by with the decision to award Forest their second penalty of the game, there can be no complaints about the Championship side’s first two goals as Arsenal seemingly forgot about the offside rule entirely before Eric Lichaj netted one of the goals of the season.

Having claimed three out of the last four FA Cups, Arsenal will likely have to make do with a potential Europa League run and chances at Carabao Cup success this season.

And, yes, Arsenal Fan TV was absolutely amazing after Sunday’s game.

Presenter Robbie Lyle opened with the standard question – “Poor today?”

And then came one of the greatest moments in Arsenal Fan TV history as one visually impaired supporter provided an unforgettable response.

“The best thing about today is the fact that I couldn’t see any of it because I’m blind so fucking brilliant, do you know what I mean?”
