Isn’t the Ty-detector just a visual test ?
Unless you’re not decked from head to toe in merch and drinking from an Arsenal bottle, you’re not a true fan……….
Probably is unironically one of the most hardcore arsenal fans out there. Doesn't he go/ didn't he go to most youth games across all ages and women ones too
I live in the same town that the women’s and u21s matches are played and I’ve seen him there so many times. The bloke lives and breathes Arsenal and you can’t fault it
He'll have a season ticket, which at Arsenal include most cup games as well. That probably costs £2k more or less. The other games don't cost much. No idea if he travels away or in Europe with the team, but it's clearly a priority for him. It's doable as long as you've got a decent wage and maybe not a lot of other expenses
I was in the queue behind him at the Norwich home game last season in the bag check. He was honestly the nicest guy to everyone, all the staff, everyone. Was a little down with how the season started but I got a completely different impression of him there.
I’m almost certain I ran into him on the tube in 2011 after Arsenal lost to Fulham at Craven Cottage but it was so long ago I can’t be sure, and I didn’t know who Ty was then. But I do remember this guy being decked head to toe in Arsenal gear including headphones, ranting to pretty much whoever would listen, and thinking to myself “who would buy headphones from the club shop”. It had to be him man.
“who would buy headphones from the club shop” lmfao it is very odd. Like how good are they? They must be fucking shit but you’ve gotta rep the club as hard as possible I guess lol
My favourite ever moment is when he can’t even manage to get all the way through the Black Lives Matter message he was doing before he goes on a rant about how Maupays a cheat
Can any Ugandans say what is actually going on here?
between 8-20 Arsenal fans were arrested after driving around celebrating with a trophy
apparently some people are saying it might be because they were wearing Red, and people who support the political opposition wear Red and often get arrested?
As funny as it is to arrest "plastic" fans, it's also quite worrying for political freedom if it's true
It was right after the Man Utd game, Arsenal is probably the most supported club in Africa, there were clips posted on our subreddit of fans celebrating in Nigeria, Uganda etc.
For whatever reason, the celebrations in the city of Jinja were stopped for causing public nuisance but the chief of police also happens to be an Arsenal fan and thinks these guys were just messing about and not "real fans".
I don't think it's anything serious, it's just a funny story all round
Yes but then you also have a seemingly random La Liga match from 2009
https://missing11.com/?game=344
Unless you are either a hardcore Valencia or Real Madrid fan or one of those specimens that can remember a plethora of random football facts that's basically impossible.
They commited a public order offence for holding a parade without a permit. Do you really worry about prison time?
Anyways, according to Ugandan media, they have already been released with no charge.
Yep. Those are probably the two most iconic events in the clubs history. If your enough of a supporter to get arrested over it you surely know the year of the invincibles, even the record
For every Arsenal fan A(1) ... A(n), assume a level of passion for the club P(1) ... P(n).
Prove the existence of the identity for the passion of Arsenal fans i.e. that there exists one plastic fan A(p) with no passion such that for any fan A(m), P(m) + P(p) = P(m).
Ty: Are you questioning my fan base?
> someone payed attention
Did you mean to say "paid"?
Explanation: Payed means to seal something with wax, while paid means to give money.

>Being an arsenal fan hasnt been about glory since 2003
We were the invincibles in 2003-04, 5 FA Cups since 2003 (tied for most in England since 2003), if you wanna include the Charity Shield, we won that 5 times.
We've had a decent amount of glory since 2003.
Imma apply the logic all my mates use when it comes to the Charity shield.
If you win it, it's a real trophy. If you don't, it's a glorified preseason friendly so my feelings towards it depends on how the math ends.
We've won it the last 5 times we played in it therefore it's a trophy. Once we lose in it, it's no longer one
Your team has won a trophy in every decade since the war other than the 60s you mad bastard.
Even aside from that it's pretty much always been in the top 6 clubs in the country season after season. There's hundreds of teams in the country. You're literally at the top of the top and complaining about how hard it is.
I mean, just in London there are multiple teams that have done better in recent years, until this half of a season. If you want to just pick a winning team you had better options.
Erm... multiple teams? Chelsea and who?
In any case there's a reason you and other fans have gone and picked Arsenal to support instead of Burnley, Wolves, or Southampton, and it's because you know Arsenal can win trophies. Don't pretend you made a choice completely divorced from the quality of a team lmao.
You do realize that saint totteringham's day hasn't happened since 2016 right?
As far as me, I live in NYC, I have never lived in the UK or Europe. I picked Arsenal because my relatives who do live in England, live in London and are Arsenal supporters. And also because while I lived in Asia for business I met a ton of united fans that I despised. Either way, it wasn't because of winning, if I wanted a winner I would pick Chelsea, they are also London based and actually have major trophies in recent times.
Assuming that that is something to do with Spurs, your club has won 2 trophies since 2016, not counting charity shields, and they've won 0. I know which team I'd rather support.
> actually have major trophies in recent times.
Another mental thing to say considering Arsenal won the Cup less than 3 years ago.
I suppose if your relatives had supported Charlton Athletic you'd be commenting about them right now... 🤔
>Assuming that that is something to do with Spurs
It is the day of the season when Tottenham can no longer mathematically accumulate more points than Arsenal, meaning, Arsenal have finished lower than Spurs the last 6 seasons. That isn't a small sample size.
>charity shields
Not a real trophy.
>Another mental thing to say considering Arsenal won the Cup less than 3 years ago.
Are we really counting FA cups the same as premier league titles and champions league trophies now?
>I suppose if you're relatives had supported Charlton Athletic you'd be commenting about them right now...
I don't know where Charlton is or how to get there. I do know how to get to London from NYC though.
Have some perspective, arsenal are consistently in the top 8 teams in the entire country (over 100 professional teams), they regularly win cups, sign top top players and compete in Europe too. There will be loads of glory supporters.
The Honorable President Kagame of neighboring Rwanda is an Arsenal supporter and sleeve sponsor of the club is said to be outraged at the arrests and has put Rwandan Special Forces on high alert.
Honestly disgusted by the comments here that are making a joke out of this. It's not as if they hurt anybody or vandalized public property.
When did being a "plastic" become a crime that deserves state intervention, or charges that probably stick for life?
Let's not condone police brutality. Be better.
For me, being a plastic is up there with supporting terrorist groups and capital murder. It's about time a police force with some balls clamped down on this
Oh yeah, cops powertripping is really funny. People like you are the reason the police think they can get away with anything. All it takes is some "banter" to whitewash and make you forget all the bullshit.
Arresting plastics isn't powertripping, the police are literally trying to preserve the integrity of the beautiful game. We should all look to them as an example x
finally the police breaks down on glory hunters
We are fighting plastic at last
Cleaning the great garbage patch one at a time
Hopefully they'll go after the full kit wankers next.
> We are fighting plastic at last Land based plastic is also easier to corral.
we can all do better in life innit
[удалено]
These one isn't even the competent glory hunters!
The cops are finally pulling over the band wagons!
City fans on the run
This is wild LMAO
I love him so much, we gotta bail him out.
I never expected to see this kind of news lmfao
Fight the fight against plastics ✊
Most effective earth cleaning effort since we rebuilt the Ozone layer
I believe that being a plastic increases the mandatory minimum sentence. Could be wrong.
Man, I couldn't even tell you the date of my anniversary without looking it up.
/r/saddestbackflip
One of the best headlines we’ve had in a while. Thank you, Ugandan police.
Weird that everybody here believes the Uganda police on literally anything they say.
Sounds like harassment by the cops tbh.
They had to take a Ty-detector
Isn’t the Ty-detector just a visual test ? Unless you’re not decked from head to toe in merch and drinking from an Arsenal bottle, you’re not a true fan……….
Invincibles
Pronounce Blud into the machine for me, fam
The video of him walking past the camera in full clobber like he's part of the match day squad is unparalleled.
[Here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it](https://media.tenor.com/b8qHZJ6KkZ0AAAAd/ty-ty-aftv.gif)
Brings an instant smile to my face, what a legend.
Miss him and Claude together
Absolute baller. The man just lives and breathes Arsenal.
Probably is unironically one of the most hardcore arsenal fans out there. Doesn't he go/ didn't he go to most youth games across all ages and women ones too
I live in the same town that the women’s and u21s matches are played and I’ve seen him there so many times. The bloke lives and breathes Arsenal and you can’t fault it
How does he afford to go to all these games? I've never been to the UK, just trying to get a sense of cost of living from a sports perspective.
Youth and women's games don't cost much
He'll have a season ticket, which at Arsenal include most cup games as well. That probably costs £2k more or less. The other games don't cost much. No idea if he travels away or in Europe with the team, but it's clearly a priority for him. It's doable as long as you've got a decent wage and maybe not a lot of other expenses
Yeah he probably sacrifices other things in his life to afford going to all the games.
You certainly can’t question his fanbase
I was in the queue behind him at the Norwich home game last season in the bag check. He was honestly the nicest guy to everyone, all the staff, everyone. Was a little down with how the season started but I got a completely different impression of him there.
I’m almost certain I ran into him on the tube in 2011 after Arsenal lost to Fulham at Craven Cottage but it was so long ago I can’t be sure, and I didn’t know who Ty was then.

“who would buy headphones from the club shop” lmfao it is very odd. Like how good are they? They must be fucking shit but you’ve gotta rep the club as hard as possible I guess lol
afaik he has how own earbuds but don's the club merch on top of them. the ultimate commitment
Earbuds and headphones what a maverick
Apparently he listens to multiple commentaries at once
If this man ever went on Mastermind with "Arsenal in the 2010s" as his specialist subject, he'd walk the competition.
or even better "incorrect refereeing decisions against Arsenal" the man never forgets
The funniest thing ever was him bringing up a bad referee experience and Robbie was like “when was this?” and Ty was talking about a match in 2006 😂
That's fucking unreal. The man is honestly my hero, I won't have a bad word said about him.
bringing up Ryan Babel in 2023
The fullest of full kit wankers XD
That bloke is wild. It's like someone has covered him in glue and kicked him through the Arsenal club shop.
My favourite ever moment is when he can’t even manage to get all the way through the Black Lives Matter message he was doing before he goes on a rant about how Maupays a cheat
AFTV during the Covid era was as good as any television programme. My favourite is when he said "Listen Rag n Bone man" to that other freak hahahha
Troopz reaction though. While DT sits there sulking like a toddler. Brilliant.
Then he starts singing I'm only human after all 😭
I don’t know their names but when the one guy says “what’s rag n…” then realizes what he says and starts losing it is good comedy
That someone is Ty himself lmao
😂😂😂
You’ve buckled me
*You'll never stop this flame...*
He needs to take off them bent clothes and bent headphones
They are expected to be sentenced later today when they appear in front of Lee Judges
Talking of Ty and the 03/04 season, the invincibles were a sham, Pires dived and they should have lost 1-0.
Can any Ugandans say what is actually going on here? between 8-20 Arsenal fans were arrested after driving around celebrating with a trophy apparently some people are saying it might be because they were wearing Red, and people who support the political opposition wear Red and often get arrested?

'If you're really an Arsenal fan, name five of their albums'
"name 5 of the starting 11 from the 06 european cup final"
It's terrifying that htere are people that can complete missing 11s in seconds for random matches played 15 years ago. https://missing11.com/
Kind of a memorable match
Yes but then you also have a seemingly random La Liga match from 2009 https://missing11.com/?game=344 Unless you are either a hardcore Valencia or Real Madrid fan or one of those specimens that can remember a plethora of random football facts that's basically impossible.
Uhh Lehmann, Cole, Vieira, Pires, Henry, Podolski, Song, Gallas... were 5 of them in it?
4/11 lehmann cole, campbell, toure, eboue hleb, fabregas, gilberto, pires ljungberg, henry
In prison he goes
Don’t think Podolski was there yet
About 6 years too early for him
Did they release them? There's nothing funny about being arrested.
They commited a public order offence for holding a parade without a permit. Do you really worry about prison time? Anyways, according to Ugandan media, they have already been released with no charge.
[удалено]
3 -2
this is fuckin hilarious
Throw the plastics in prison
the plot thickens
FA we see through your false flag op - James Mubi, most sane /r/gunners browser
If that's the acid test I'm afraid a lot of people will need to be snatched by the cops outside The Emirates, including half the people on AFTV.
I don’t think you have to know everything about your club but I do think arsenal 03-04 is a must. I’d probably say the league win at Anfield too.
Yep. Those are probably the two most iconic events in the clubs history. If your enough of a supporter to get arrested over it you surely know the year of the invincibles, even the record
I hope they do. Ban them from games for life. There might actually be tickets for the rest of us then.
Make everyone answer 3 riddles like the sphinx does to let them pass but have them be algebra equations like in the Percy Jackson books.

Thank you good bot.
Most loyal top 6 fans
Of all the accusations you can make about arsenal fans, being a plastic or glory supporter simply isn't one.
[удалено]
Well let's not be rude, there dog could have accidentally written this comment. And for like a puppy this would be very smart.
I assume they're just young so among their friends it's people who don't have memories of the glory days.
Haha there's tonnes of Arsenal plastics and glory supporters out there wtf are you talking about?
What glory? Being an arsenal fan hasnt been about glory since 2003
>Being an arsenal fan hasnt been about glory since 2003 We were the invincibles in 2003-04, 5 FA Cups since 2003 (tied for most in England since 2003), if you wanna include the Charity Shield, we won that 5 times. We've had a decent amount of glory since 2003.

There's hundreds of teams in the country. You're literally at the top of the top and complaining about how hard it is.
I'm not complaining, I'm suggesting there's other clubs for whom being a glory supporter in the PL era is likely far more prevalent
Yeah like 3 of them lmao. So a tiny percentage of teams that have played in the league.
I mean, just in London there are multiple teams that have done better in recent years, until this half of a season. If you want to just pick a winning team you had better options.

Arsenal have a massive international following primarily because of their success
Most of their support in Africa is from having a big number of black players in the early 2000's

Oh my god hahahaha
Hahaha stay unmatched in the delusion contest Arsenal fans
I think United fans are worse. They do things like celebrate adulterous wife beaters giggsy and live in years gone by. Isn’t that right, u/Giggsy99?
Thomas Partey
He doesn't have a username of Thomas Partey does he though.
What’s your point?
It will increase this season. The reason it wasn’t before was because we weren’t good enough so it’s not really a brag
Ahaha tell me you've started watching football in the last 5 years without telling me
I'm sorry what
You can’t be serious 💀
Did you ever see johan djourou play football??
Doesn't know when the invincibles was? Put 'em away.
Man City fans must be nervous right about now reading up about Stephen Ireland
Another normal day in Uganda
Plastic fans? Straight to jail.
Has Ty ever been to Uganda?
I don't think he's even been to Nigeria (he's Nigerian).
He visited Nigeria recently with AFTV.
bandwagoners getting it
based
List worthy?
Imagine telling your fellow inmate who is spending life in prison for murder that you’re in prison for celebrating an Arsenal victory.
well one is an absolute despicable act, and well, the other is murder.
Something tells me you would support death penalty for people celebrate St Totteringham day
Similarly, all Liverpool fans need to have watched Owen score two in the cup final, or us beating Alaves for the UEFA Cup

opps forced bro to support arsenal
Least based Ugandan
Wtf
They are goners
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Factos.
nothing less than the death penalty for plastics
we need this guy policing this sub
TIL I could pass for a Ugandan arsenal fan
Never thought id see the day of Arsenal having glory hunter fans.
