Richard Keys rips into Jamie Carragher over Arsenal and reignites their feud

Richard Keys has reignited his feud with Jamie Carragher – this time over Mikel Arteta's decision to replace Aaron Ramsdale with David Raya at Arsenal.

Former Sky Sports host Keys and Premier League pundit Carragher unsurprisingly find themselves on opposite sides of the argument, with their differing opinions coming to boiling point on social media. The controversy surrounding Arsenal's goalkeeping situation has once again brought these two personalities into the spotlight.

In a recent interview, Liverpool legend Carragher expressed his scepticism about Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League with Ramsdale in goal. This comment did not sit well with Keys, who took to his weekly blog to voice his disagreement.

"I didn't agree with Carragher's midweek assessment that Arsenal would never win the title with Ramsdale in goal," wrote the former Sky Sports presenter. "When I saw that my initial reaction was 'nonsense', because they were a whisker away from doing so last season."

Keys cheekily added: "But then I realised that Carragher played in a team that was never going to win the title with him in it, so he probably knows more about the subject than me."

This is not the first time Keys and Carragher have clashed. Last year, they found themselves at odds when Keys accused the former Liverpool defender of being "borderline racist" for suggesting that the England manager should always be English, reports the Mirror.

In response, Carragher labelled Keys as a "sad, desperate man" on social media. The latest disagreement between the two pundits stemmed from Carragher's playful teasing of Ramsdale's reaction to the on-loan Raya's impressive save during Sunday's 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Tottenham in the north London derby.

While sitting on the bench, Ramsdale applauded his teammate's performance, prompting Carragher to compare it to someone graciously clapping for the winner at the Oscars despite losing. The Sky Sports man found humour in the situation, while Keys saw it as an opportunity to reignite their ongoing feud.

Carragher said last week: "100 per cent [Raya is better than Ramsdale]. Arsenal will never win the league with Ramsdale in goal, no chance. Ramsdale is playing for Arsenal and he can't even get in the England team."
