Football, as we know, is a game of passion and emotion, followed by millions around the world. The sport has seen a wave of new followers in the last two decades which has made it one of the most watched sports in the world.
As with anything associated with such fervour, there are bound to be disappointments which leave fans despondent and hopeless. The advent of satellite television brought the game to our living rooms, and also brought in opinions and analysis from pundits and fans.

Now, there are numerous fan channels of football clubs where fans air their opinions on their favourite players from their beloved clubs. From the downright ridiculous to nuanced, passionate opinions, these fan channels offer superb entertainment and analysis of their favourite club to fans.
Here are a few fan channels that you should follow:
#1 ChelseaFansChannel and CFC FANTV (Chelsea)
The two popular fan channels of the London club are the ChelseaFansChannel and CFC FANTV; the latter is just a month old but features several presenters from the other channel. The fan channel has the latest news about everything related to Chelsea, which includes match previews, reviews and roundup of the goals/incidents in the match.
The ChelseaFansChannel also has not-so-serious content like the time Arsenal were pranked, the ‘Fabregas is Magic’ song, and also pose the much-debated question: Can Man Utd Fans Spell Ibrahimovic?!
It is not all fun and games in the channel; they also delve into serious issues regarding racism, including the time when Chelsea fans prevented a man from boarding a train in Paris. There are foul-mouthed rants, criticism of players and the manager, as well as transfer news.
#2 BlueMoonRising (Manchester City)
Manchester City fan channel BlueMoonRising has over 40,000 subscribers, and fans of the channel are offered a plethora of content, over and above the usual reviews and previews. A lot of content on the YouTube channel includes barbs against neighbours, Manchester United, and how a number of their players are a ‘waste of money’ – which is a laugh riot.
One of the many Manchester United themed videos is the hilarious ‘Fake Manchester United Tour’, where a Manchester City fan takes tourists around Old Trafford, Manchester United’s home ground, and offers incorrect commentary and facts about the club. There are also crossovers with other fan channels, like Manchester United fan channel, Full Time Devils; here’s the well-known Manchester United fan, Andy Tate, in a lie detector test.
The channel also includes opposition fan views, transfer rumours and news, team news, and watchalongs with the presenters of the channel.
#3 The Redmen TV (Liverpool)
Liverpool fans are known for their vociferous singing and serenading of their players with funny and passionate songs, and The Redmen TV channel brings that passion to YouTube. The channel has videos which take fans right inside Anfield and in the middle of the boisterous crowd.
One funny video shows the Scouse fans showing their deep hatred towards former Manchester United player Paul Scholes, in a hilarious manner – ‘Scholes reacts to Ginger Manc Tw*t" song’.
The channel has previews and reviews, along with goal/match reactions, which are loud and passionate. There is also content about matters that affect fans, including the rise in ticket prices, discussions on transfers, and taking joy from their arch rivals’ misery – Moyes Is a Football Genius! and Barkley Admits LFC Are Better.
With nearly 150,000 subscribers, The Redmen TV is the most popular Liverpool fan channel.
#4 FullTimeDEVILS (Manchester United)
FullTimeDevils came into prominence in mainstream media after the epic rant of one Manchester United fan, Andy Tate, after Manchester United lost against rivals Manchester City in 2014 under the stewardship of David Moyes.
Tate is now almost a permanent fixture of FullTimeDevils and his videos are the most viewed ones on the channel. The channel does not only include the United superfan’s rants and impassioned opinions but also has match previews, watchalongs, analysis, memes ridiculing their rivals, and listicles.
The Manchester United fan channel also features interviews and press conferences of the club manager as well as the players. Future stars, youth academy and Reserves prospects are also reviewed on a yearly basis, and subscribers also get a lowdown on the structure of the club, its finances and all the background changes in the club.
#5 ArsenalFanTV (Arsenal)
Probably one of the most entertaining fan channels currently, the ArsenalFanTV channel brings out the best (and worst) out of Arsenal fans. Much like how their team puts them through a rollercoaster ride with their performances on the pitch, the channel shows the myriad emotions of the fans on camera.
The videos contain expletives, rants, anger after a horrible loss, but the fans also praise their stars and shower them with love post an important win. The channel also includes listicles about the history of the club, players and managers, chants, and transfer news.
A must follow for Arsenal fans, as well as those who want a quick laugh!
