Agreed in the American context, but in European Soccer context, previous model was way better

my friend the game that was played for the first half of that time would be barely recognizable today

haha sure, if you go back a bit further. Late 2000's and 2010's arsenal was compared negatively against George Graham teams I guess.

I think if you can't differentiate the two ownership groups and their affects on professional football, you are either trying hard very hard to do so

So curious about the idea of anti-football, have you played? How do you understand the idea?

Edward Painter @painteredward.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
the truth is that this team will be timeless because of their prem league win. Presumably you never watched the football of Fergie, conte, Mourinho etc?

truly mind boggling to have followed arsenal long enough to be chastised for employing some of the physicality and pragmatism which the club was formerly laughed at for lacking. Is it new/young fans? is it bot accounts? Is it result of social media tribalism?

You are able to parse so carefully football aesthetics but not the difference between Arsenal and those other clubs - quite remarkable. Perhaps another layer of subjectivity at play?

A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.

Our species built Stonehenge, Machu PIchu, and Chartres without large language models, wrote The Divine Comedy and Pride and Prejudice and The Book of the Tao without them, but could they make tuna melts without them?

The whole exercise feels a bit like Frost's mending wall. What exactly is creating the gaps? What are we walling in and out? etc and so on

It's kinda strange that moments like Rednote and Clubroom don't occur more often. But the discourses taking place during the two border-crossing events couldn't be more different. There were serious and thoughtful conversations going on during the clubhouse thing.
