    Since the airing of the Blackfish documentary, there’s been a hefty amount of negativity about the SeaWorld theme park.

    The biggest ba**ard in Game of Thrones is coming back

    Forgive and forget. That’s the mantra that the characters from Game of Thrones live by because we all know that any arguments in Westeros are resolved with a peaceful discussion over hot cocoa. It’s not like the show revels in gory deaths, fatal backstabbing and characters that are about as untrustworthy as The Wall is cold. Spoiler […]

    Claude the Gooner loses it at gatecrashing Man United fan (Video)

    The Premier League is officially back. Arsenal fans’ significant pre-season optimism was shattered earlier today. The Gunners were different this year, they said, Petr Cech would be worth 10 to 12 points a season, they said. There are still 37 games to go, but the sight of a goalkeeper mistake and a complacent performance made it feel […]

    Tempers can often overflow at football matches, but this exchange between West Ham supporters and ArsenalFanTV regular Ty is inexcusable.

    There aren’t many Liverpool fans who will miss Glen Johnson following his poor form last season. With Nathaniel Clyne coming in at right-back, and the shrewd additions of James Milner, Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings and Joe Gomez, most supporters feel the team has improved. But Johnson doesn’t agree with them. The 30-year-old, who moved […]
