I really like the womens game, I attend lots of the matches and really appreciate having been able to see exactly what most of us thought - That females can and will be as good as men in a lot of aspects of the sport.

There are some really good cheerleaders for the womens game, some poor ones too, just because there's not much of a pool to pick from but on the whole its more to do with the actual football rather than the drama.

And then in steps this woman, every time she opens her mouth its creating drama. She didnt deserve what barton did but he is a prick anyways. He does it to lots of people, being a prick.

But now she is actually having a go at Ian Wright, someone who supports the womens game, someone who sings its praises from the rooftops, someone who gives up his airtime for the womens game. Why the hell does she now think he is dominating the womens game instead of helping it? Why is she ALWAYS looking for issues to solve, I am getting fed up with hearing from her. I have been getting a little fed up with the politics around womens football, it distracts from the football ffs. And thats what is good about the womens game, it is at its purist form right now, not over-bloated like the mens game.

I just wish she would shut up about womens game.
 
She comes across as someone who is very bitter and has a huge chip on her shoulder, also she doesn't seem very bright.
She is the one who said she put in false offers for players to help force another club to pay more for players.
She clearly has any moral standards.

Pundits as a rule baffle me. There are 100's of good ex pros men and women but to be a Pundit it seems you need to be a knobhead.

You need to have a massive chip on your shoulder, not be very intelligent, be a drugs cheat, spit at young kids, be unable to be neutral, to encourage fans to invade the statium before matches, to be able to voice your own bias opinion.

So she fits the bill perfectly.

Agreed. An overall point but the pool of sensible, grounded, impartial and informative pundits is very small.

We're in the era of clickbait, saying daft things for attention and having "bantz" that is perfect for short clips posted on social media.
 
Controversy is all she has.

She's crap.

Barton was right in his analysis but not the verdict.
 
There are some women footballers that are good pundits as well and I would put Steph and Izzie at the front the list. Aluko has nothing to say unless its creating drama and controversy. Ian Wright is a fantastic ambassador of the game and without him it may not have made the strides it has. As far as blocking women from pundit/presenting football, is she bloody mad? Its almost mandatory now (sometimes irrespective of talent) to have a woman involved be it the mens or womens game.

It was the other way round
She asked contacts at rival clubs to put in false offers for players so that her club would increase its offer

Scandalous

Oh right ! I couldn't remember which way round it was. She accused Pep and City of doing the same as her.

Surprised her employer at the time has taken action against her. She forced her employer to pay more for a player than they needed to. Isn't that fraud ?
 
The standard of punditry in football is abysmal. It's largely down to the fact that most ex-pro's are thick as pig shit and have no idea what they're talking about. The majority are employed due to their character rather than their ability. It's why someone like Nedum doesn't have a huge platform despite being excellent, and someone like Micah is rolled out on numerous platforms just to giggle.

But women, particularly in football, are scrutinised much more heavily. How many male pundits thought Pep would never work in England? How many just churn out cliches? You've got Troy Deeney doing team of the week on the BBC and picking players despite clearly not even watching their performances. He picked Kovacic the other day and said it wasn't his best performance but he got a critical goal. The guy came on in the 78th minute and scored to make it 2-0 in injury time...bizarre!

If a woman had written anything like that it would be all over twitter and they'd be destroyed.

Having said that, Aluko seems completely ignorant to the fact she is a moron. She makes it quite easy for people to slag her off because she comes out with bizarre statements that highlight her stupidity.

In her defence she's undoubtedly had an incredibly difficult time since Barton's comments and doesn't deserve any of it. She probably feels that she has to stay in the headlines to have any chance of a career in the media so is doing all she can to stay relevant. You can't really blame her. Ian Wright is doing a great job in making men connect to the women's game, which is critical to its success. I doubt Aluko is smart enough to realise that and just sees him taking up a female spot.

They were probably afraid of having the race/misogyny card pulled on them

I don't think that's fraud, but what it certainly did was kill any further career aspirations she may have had as a director of football

I'm not sure it even happened as I wouldn't believe a word she said!

If it did, it's no surprise she was only there for a couple of years. How stupid! Your club isn't willing to cough up the money for a player so you ask another club to bid to force their hand?! Great business nous that!

My favourite of hers is when she said Richarlison has scored 19 goals in 40 games, you do the maths, that's a goal a game!

I don't want to overly criticise her as we could easily pick out quotes from male pundits doing the same or worse. Remind me what Merson said about De Bruyne when we signed him?!

She has had a hard time since Barton so her reaction is to go in on the same subject, just the other way round? Barton doesn't want the likes of her in the mens game and it is probably the only thing I would agree with him on, yeet she cries about it but then does the same over a man being in the womens game. She is one of the biggest cunts on the planet
