Joey Barton

[lefty goldblatt]

What are pundits?

I've 95% erased them from my life. The only time I see them, is when there's been a wonder goal scored, or a bit of controversy which warrants a second look. Oh, and to click on links when they've fools of themselves (hi, Ms Aluko).

Switch on with 5 minutes 'til kick off, for team news.
Half time..... Get a drink, do the cat's litter tray, put rubbish in the bin, see what's on for the rest of the day.
End of game, turn over.

If its a commentator or co-commentator I don't like, find another feed.

It's that simple.

P. S. Nobrat is still an attention seeking whopper..... just like last year.

Are you asking why Neville defended them? If so, I assume it’s why anyone would step in to defend someone against a bully. Barton is a thug. Always was. Always will be. Not a huge fan of Neville but good on him for calling out this ****.

As for their appeal, you’re absolutely right: They work for a commercial company and trust me, they won’t be hired without some appeal! Perhaps bosses feel they appeal to a demographic they want to target? Just because they don’t appeal broadly to the white man doesn’t mean they don’t have appeal.

That last sentence is utter bollocks. Eni Aluko, like 90% of the pundits is an utter waste of space. On the other hand I don’t mind Alex Scott and Karen Carney. It’s nothing to do with racism or misogyny, it’s about having a meritocracy. Eni would be out on her ear with a much larger number of “white men” on that basis if it makes you feel any better.

Just to be clear, I disagree with both Neville and Barton.

He is an absolute weapon.

That however doesn’t mean his message is wrong re certain individuals who shouldn’t be near a tv screen.

We slag and call out most on here, rightly so right across many aspects of life in the UK, no one is spared so why do we think a couple of people in sports broadcasting should be?

Picture Aluko as a female Tory politician and imagine the thread and comments about her for instance?

His message is totally wrong.

He isn’t saying Aluko isn’t a good pundit.

He’s saying women shouldn’t be commenting on men’s football.

They’re completely different things.

 

[Cobra]

He’s spot on, they knew about Schofields antics for years.

And Man City must have known about Barry Bennell’s antics….

Getting hugely entertaining this, he's a few bags deep this morning for sure Joseph

All pundits are only there to fill a gap and talk crap to armchairs, Most people watch the game and then turn off at the end or at halftime they are on their phones or making a drink or toilet break

Fans who stream the games normally watch foreign links anyway, so again who cares what a pundit talking about

Legend in my eyes. About time someone called out ratboy.

You’ve got a low bar for the threshold of legend.

 

[ancoats]

Joey Barton is in a world of his own, I just hope when they bring him back down to earth he blows the whistle on all of them, Just remember who his agent was Willie Mckay

Cheer up mate, he’s having a bit of fun winding people up on an app full of soft cunts. I was never keen on Joey, but calling out the likes of Neville and Jeremy Vine has won me over.

 

[Phil1]

Pantomime season in full swing.
I suppose all the shitcunts turning on each other publicly will bring a little amusement over the coming days but it’s all a bit sad isn’t it.
