The World Cup is not why Messi is the greatest of all time. The way Messi plays is why he is the greatest player of all time.

No player, dead or alive, understands and plays football better than Lionel Messi.

To argue otherwise is to be deliberately dishonest.

[We$t @flygodT]

There’s no single narrative Messi didn’t shatter from 2021 till now. If I was on the other side, I’d be writing conspiracy theories too, but fortunately, I have two eyes and a brain to know who the greatest is.

Lol. A lot of those women were abusive to their husbands too. Perhaps women can just be as abusive?

[Møøn6eam 🎧 @moon6eam_]

I wish more women talked about the trauma they've experienced at the hands of other women—mothers, sisters, grandmothers, teachers, friends, neighbors, etc.

Maybe then we'd stop romanticizing the fantasy that a women-only world is inherently safer.

The beatings did not work anyway. You people are still wild animals.

[Ray Touchline @RayTouchline]

The fake concern around Messi’s legacy is interesting because it quietly frames favouritism as if it is a Messi-only problem.

It isn’t.

Football has always treated its biggest names differently. Reputation, influence, media pressure, leniency, protection, and institutional inconsistency have always existed at the top level.

Ronaldo’s 2014 red card controversy led to the referee reportedly being suspended. In 2017, Real Madrid appealed his five-game ban after he pushed a referee. These things did not suddenly make people say his entire legacy was now questionable.

So when similar conversations around Messi are packaged as “concern”, it feels selective.

Messi’s legacy was built over nearly two decades of footballing dominance: goals, assists, playmaking, finals, trophies, consistency, and moments people watched with their own eyes.

Question the institutions if you want. That is fair.

But using institutional inconsistency as a quiet back door to cast doubt on Messi’s career is not objective analysis. It is revisionism dressed as balance.

[Steven @StevenMcinerney]

I genuinely feel like people have lost their minds with football a bit. Every minor moment of contention has become a scandal. Swear to god this wasn't the case ten years ago. It's social media and the increased focus on decisions due to VAR etc. Every time the whistle is blown someone loses their head and calls it corrupt.

[Professor Labamba @BadmanFreke]

Once you start all those useless conspiracy theory and rigging talks about Messi, I just know sey you be retard...l

Dr Cosmos…you are missing the point so astoundingly.

As an Arsenal fan, I supported Chelsea against Bayern, Supported Liverpool every time cos I liked them…I dislike United a lot so I never supported them. (So this isn’t a matter of who you support)

Most of the banter against Arsenal on the other hand isn’t just banter…it’s systemic hate.

Systemic hate is what makes all rivals of all other teams (emphasis on ALL)…say the premier league has no value cos Arsenal has won it.

Systemic hate is what makes media call Arteta trophyless for 6 years despite winning two community shields in that period…

Systemic hate is what makes media say Pep won 20 trophies(three shields) Klopp won 6 or so(one community shield) but when you ask how many has Arteta won…they tell you two.

Systemic hate is what makes rivals say “we hate Arsenal cos of the fans” when in reality their fans are way worse.

Systemic hate is what makes the media bring out table of premier league if set pieces didn’t count…

Systemic hate is what makes the media post “only” 10 premier league winners with less points than 85(after Arsenal won)
Liverpool won with less points last year, I dare you to find me a post from any media about the teams who scored less than 84 points.

In conclusion Dr, Arsenal fans are and have been fighting systemic hate not only from rivals, but also media(particularly the media which doesn’t even hide the hate anymore). They drive the narrative by the way.

It’s clear that it’s much more than banter sir…we don’t have a problem with the banter. We have always been victims of it…but please let’s be accurate with our description of what exactly is going on.

Started off as engagement farming but now it's turned into a popularity thing, if you're not doing it then you're outside the club.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Standing on the brink of history.

[The Pato🎙️ @iamNOTthepatoo]

Arsenal won the league and everybody is talking about Bruno

Arsenal won the league and everybody is talking about 115 charges

Arsenal won the league and nobody cares about them

Arsenal won the league and nobody is talking about them

We have heard. You de go na

[Élodie @TribeOfArsenal]

So Enrique saying this is cool but Arteta saying Arsenal will be champions on Sunday' is prideful?

[Senior Man @Seyi__]

You thought so because you made your entire personality about Arsenal not winning. People get work.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

It all worked out.

[Stephen @TILIKI_OS]

I am very ok with this version of Man United.

[Ibe 🎒 @maziibe_]

I can feel something changed in my life tho. Can’t put a pin on it but something definitely changed

[Chibuikem @Multi_Coloured_]

Victor Gyokeres did what Bruno Fernandes couldn't do for Sporting CP twice, then came to England and still beat him to a PL title at the first try
