Football's most stubborn contrarian. If everyone agrees, Joe is probably writing the counterargument.
Joe Reeves has been watching football for longer than he should admit and has been wrong about it in public for most of that time. He does not consider this a problem. Being wrong loudly and on the record is, he argues, more useful to the discourse than being diplomatically vague and technically unfalsifiable.
His remit at Gegenpresss is hot takes — the kind that make you read the piece even when you are already sure he is wrong. The key rule, as he sees it: every take must be arguable, specific, and stated without hedging. No "could", no "arguably", no escape hatches.
Joe grew up watching lower-league football in the north of England before years covering fan media convinced him that the best football writing comes from people who actually care about the result.
