As for TV coverage, I’ve no issue with female presenters and female commentators. Pundits? Tough one. The men’s and women’s games ARE different. Alex Scott hasn’t played the men’s game. But then again men’s football in the 80s and 90s was very different and the likes of Barton don’t seem to give a shit about the likes of Garth Crooks or Andy Townsend sharing their “wisdom”. Crooks has been retired for 33 years, Townsend for 23, but they’re more qualified than Alex Scott? Fuck off. I don't think its a case of not using women for punditry in football, its just that the ones that they do use are terrible. I'd be more than happy to listen if there were any decent ones. Theres a couple of very good ones who commentate on cricket but the ones in football tend to state the obvious or over dramatise like the woman on the BBC.

Helen Chamberlain started on Soccer AM in 1995 (and now I feel old) and she always knew more than that prick Tim Lovejoy. Never seemed to get the stick then, but I suppose the 90s were all about the girls swearing, shagging, and sinking pints with the boys. I think Barton’s really just pissed off that the likes of Alex Scott know more than he does. Yep. She was genuinely a lower league fan which resonated with a lot of viewers. She wasn't desperately trying to be a 90's lad or anything, she was part of the fan culture at the time. Then you had the Socerettes which did become cringe in the end. Bunch of middle aged blokes going "Phwoar' to a 17 year old, yeah, that didn't age well... It part of Barton's overally identity though. His brother is a racist murderer who he tries to make excuses for, his own behaviour as a player was awful, and his attitude and the way he gives it here just personifies him completely. Pissed off at her knowing more, definitely - and getting 139 more England caps that he did. Barton is entertaining but ultimately one of those usual suspects who likes to use big words he's looked up in the dictionary but without actually knowing what they mean. Then gets angry and doubles down when shown up for being thick.

Remember when people were allowed opinions? You either agreed with them or disagreed with them and got on with your day.
Now you're not allowed to say anything in case it's the 'wrong' opinion. He can think what he wants. I think he's a cunt but that doesn't mean he is. It's my opinion.

If he pointed out Eni Aluko and Karen Carney he’d have a point, he just comes across as an angry gammon, half of me thinks he’s pining for a job with GB News because he knows his managerial career is fucked so he’s stirring as much controversy as possible

The bloke is the wish version of Conor McGregor, very entertaining by being controversial and has a lot to say but ultimately the sort of cunt who could turn on you at any time. Some of the things he's done are proper cunts tricks but if it upsets some of the absolute whoppers that frequent twitter then i'm all for it.

I mean, yeah, words on Twitter are one thing but the way he's tried to defend his brother, nevermind a lot of the incidents he's gotten into while he was a player, strongly imply he is probably a cunt. If it wasn't for the rest of his background it wouldn't have gotten as much attention as it did.

He knows he’s unemployable after fucking up Bristol Rovers, so he’s going full Russell Brand.
