This isn’t ok really is it. He’s gone full BNP level racist mode.

Was obvious from day one. He's already tried the "there's too many black players in the England team" line.

The sooner we realise as a nation that the likes of Barton, Farage, Morgan, etc. are just grifting hardworking people by winding them up the sooner we can start fixing society and actually trying to make things better.

If Barton actually believed any of the shite he was writing about female pundits then it'd be worth debating him on it, but the truth is he knows his career in football is over so he's pivoted to GB News/InfoWars topics in a bid to make a name for himself over there. He did the same thing about 10 years ago, just on the other side of the political spectrum. He made all this noise about how he was reading books now, wearing suits and round glasses, came out in favour of same-sex marriage, all that stuff. That died a death on Question Time when he exposed himself as the same thick bastarding troglodyte he's always been so he tried to get back into football.

He made a decent go of lower-league management and probably could have made a nice career for himself if he'd stuck it out, but it's clear these days that the real money - a regular stream of income that doesn't come with the pressure of football management - is just raging against anything perceived as "woke" and becoming a rent-a-gob representative of curtain twitchers and football hooligans everywhere. You can see it in his tweets that he's just seeing how far he can go before he gets "cancelled" (hence the Fred & Rose West tweet) and then he can spin that into a book deal, TV spots, etc. etc. He's already been on Piers Morgan's TalkTV show, hasn't he?

When he's got as much attention as he can from female pundits he'll move on to something else. "Women's football shouldn't be on the BBC" or "Gay footballers should stay in the closet" will probably be next. Then he'll see if he can get away with suggesting that "There aren't enough English lads coming through at Premier League academies" and if that goes down okay he might test a quick "There's too many black players in the England team" line. He won't believe any of it, he's just another Clarkson type who gets paid to pretend he's angry about something.

There's a whole industry for it and social media has given them all too much oxygen.

A shite footballer, a failed manager, desperate to try and become relevant, Doing so by bullying a young girl on social media.

Barton and is like represent everything which is wrong with social media. A bumbling idiot, but will undoubtedly gain respects of fellow bumbling idiots.

ultimately he's probably making a lot of dough from each controversial tweet.

Brilliant, a player that's won nothing criticising the training of a player that has medals for every competition competed in for us at club level.

Its like a journeyman boxer telling Tyson Fury how to box when he's won every single title available from domestic level to every world title belt. Or like me telling Hamilton how to drive an F1 car when I've driven a Ford Focus.

If you didn't already know Barton was a thicko , you would think he's trolling.

Yeah he's been having a pop that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is an England attacking coach, calling it tokenism. Retweeting someome who's asking what happened to the best man for the job...

What? Former premier league golden Boot winner, 16th most goals in premier league history with over 120 league goals. Seems pretty qualified to me If you're wanting to coach attackers. He probably literally was the best man for the job in terms of who wants the job.
