There are awful pundits on both sides of the sexes. Female pundits are easy pickings though when it comes down to having a go.
I’ve found the easiest way of not getting unnecessarily aggravated by said pundits is to switch on at KO, do something in the 15 mins at HT (I dip into the match day thread just to reaffirm my life isn’t all bad) then switch off at FT and get on with my life.
Works for me.

So you are saying no woman should get a job as it would only be because they tick a box ? Think about that, white males only then ?

How have you got that opinion from what he said?

Some say colour as well as sex is a tick box , some are combined so not them leaves white males does it not ?

It's a full on narrative she's caught and is running hell for leather to the touchline, no truth will ever stop them they will just bomb on in the confidence that even if what they say has ne bearing on a topic they can be as racist or sexist as they want .

**obviously revisionism changes like the wind and has a very small shelf life ;)

Hes a twat dont get me wrong but i bet there is a hell of lot that agree with him without putting it so forcefully :(
Nothing against female pundits but there are a fair few that are there to tick boxes which is all wrong ................

Spot on pal. Joey’s a wrong un but it doesn’t mean that everything he says is wrong.

And I think a lot of people miss the point about pundits - they aren’t there to offer any great tactical insight, most viewers don’t need that. What they are there for is to have a quick chat about the game as familiar faces and engaging personalities who (club allegiances aside) we enjoyed watching play the game and remember the big games they were involved in.

Anonymous, dull, earnest female pundits and co comms who we’d never heard of until they were foisted upon us and who can’t entertain us with little nuggets of information or regale us with stories about current managers or players because they’ve never encountered them just bring the mood right down.

I think we are witnessing an actual breakdown via the medium of X over the last 24hrs

If that's the case, I suspect it's a breakdown that's lasted the past 20 years! With any luck though, this latest meltdown might be his last before being carted off by the men in white coats.

With all due respect, I'm not sure you understand. Your comment was clearly unknowingly ironic in that the fact you posted it undermined your central argument.
