I would only add ‘open’ as a prefix to racism each time it’s been used in this post.

There's more racism in football because there's more racism in society, & there's more racism in society because racism has been mainstreamed & racists are emboldened.

👍 the opening definitely has a ‘Chain Reaction’ vibe to it

Even though Russell Martin is available now?

Everyones entitled to an opinion obvs & perhaps it’s sincere but it feels like so much of how people think, feel & talk about their clubs is driven by media & social media narratives.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

Innit

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

That was actually intentional.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

Sure, I’m disappointed every year we don’t win the league 😂 …my issue is with the narrative that there’s no excuses for us not to win it whilst competing with others who’ve comfortably outspent us whilst winning all the big pots in recent times.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

I think we’ve a great chance of winning the PL because we’ve now assembled an outstanding group of players & have an outstanding manager but the idea that it’s our title to lose or that Arsenal have ‘no excuses’ if they don’t win it is a bullshit media driven narrative.

Don’t believe the hype.

Chelsea

Last team to win PL outside of Man City & Liverpool.

Current conference & ‘world’ champions who’ve also won 5 trophies since Arsenal last won anything.

Have the most expensively assembled squad in the world with average fee per player £12.5m more than ours.

No excuses for Arsenal.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

Liverpool

Won the other 2 of last 8 PL’s.

Have last seasons top scorer & signed 2nd top for a record transfer fee, worlds best CB & GK.

Are the current champions & have won 5 trophies since Arsenal last won anything.

Average fee per player £7.9m more than Arsenal’s.

No excuses for Arsenal.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 4d

Man City

Won 6 of the last 8 PL’s.

Have the worlds best manager, most prolific striker, best DM & now best GK.

Have the 2nd most expensively assembled squad (because Chelsea 🙄).

Average fee per player is £18.5m more than Arsenal’s.

No excuses for Arsenal.

Ok, thanks this makes more sense because my eyes were sure they’d seen more than 5 😂

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 5d

Yep 👌 🍄

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 5d

Does this mean Saka’s taken fewer than 5 shots in the league this season or you just making a point about the defensive players?

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 7d

I’m going to need the @ for that football HMRC guy

Arne capping

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah true. It should damage the product as a sporting competition but perhaps it’s actually good for business with it being a sporting soap opera.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 8d

It’s genuinely baffling how little they seem to care about the conduct of the organisation responsible for the integrity of their product.

RG @geezypeas.bsky.social · 9d

Makes sense

Is this Keats?
