Cheers though, I'll give it a listen.

where can I access the podcast then...?

I dunno, I think he deserves to have to play in the championship.

Huh, fair enough to them then. Sounds like they've got an effective system. I'd imagine it's the back end of the season when they slow down though. Gegenpressing over 46 games plus cups must surely take it out of you.

They've been midtable makeweights for like a decade haven't they? Why the sudden upturn?

If people are prepared to watch it, then fair enough. Although I can't help but feel that his success is directly disproportional to Newcastle's...

They might still get past us of course but yes, this is a huge national embarrassment to China. I noticed their media outlets changed tack a few days back and started talking about how China didn't need to prove anything on the global stage, and how it was important only that their athletes came home safe. Not a bad attitude to have going forward, but you just know they'd be giving it the big one if they were doing well.

I think this channel would have legs...

I think we have to accept that he's bizarrely popular. As I say, he has other sponsorships from betting companies and I think he's been invited into bigger online chat shows before. It's not the tactical insight anyone's there for mind, it's the rage. I'm not actually quite sure how it works regarding views/subscriptions but I suspect you're right that it's more view based.

Huddersfield held Villa to a draw at VP.

Did they only just discover doping at the IOC or something? Why have so many people been going under the radar and why is it suddenly all coming out?

If it was mostly comprised of footage of you falling off said hover board, I think it might work.

After everything that's been said, watch fucking Burton have the division sown up by Christmas.

Interesting to consider, really. I subscribe to a couple of media/political commentaries, one of which has about 400k subscribers. On top of this though, he also has a patreon account, which allows people to 'pay' him for each video released. He has people sponsoring him to the tune of £1000/video and does 2 each week. There's real money in this stuff.

Ah yeah, he's only really been active (to my knowledge) for about 18-24 months.

Such a hipster thing to say...

http://www.statsheep.com/footballfan533 Granted there's a 'range' in here of possible earnings, but it estimated his potential at $66k... so about what I was saying?

Yeah it's a surprisingly lucrative enterprise. He does have something like 200k subscribers after all. As I say though, he's also sponsored by betting agencies and seems to do random product plugging these days. No idea how much more that brings in but I reckon it'd be in excess of another £20k, easy.

I was looking at youtube channel stats the other day and ran TG's into it - it seems from youtube revenues alone he probably makes about £40k/year. Aside from any other sponsorships, etc. He may be a fat bastard, but he's got it worked out.

I've never really engaged with him on here, but I've seen many of his posts - I always thought he craved attention more than anything else. External approval and validation. Not saying that doesn't make him a narcissist as well though.

Is he out of favour or something?

I'm sure it'll all blow over.

Apologies, very true! The scandalous unfollowing on Twitter was indeed the source of this episode. He does still check in like, so its not like he actually left anyway.

I think on here, you guys call it 'flouncing'. Can't remember which thread it was in now but Ant was at the root of it
