Joey Barton

Nedum is by far the best pundit out there, so balanced & articulate with no agenda but providing facts without a bias or trying to create a narrative.

Nedum has also outed Barton for being a grade 1 **** & a bully years ago.

Having said all that if Barton can “take 1 with him” & chooses a **** like Neville then I’m all for it.

I love Nedum as he hates the Rags with a passion. He stated this in a Q & A Session last season at our Mid Cheshire Branch Meeting.
Top bloke.

Just popping in to say that this? Is why I stopped posting here (this thread came up on a search). Because I am a woman and I am a football fan and according to posters like this, I don’t belong here. Even if I was a City fan, I wouldn’t belong here.

Barton doesn’t have a problem with men commentating on women’s games. Odd, that.

Honestly please don`t stop posting as you`re more than welcome on this forum. Every club has its knobheads so please accept my apologies on behalf of the vast majority of Blue Mooners if you feel you`ve been subjected to stupid comments from the odd ones.
As the old saying goes "don`t let the bastards grind you down".
 
Barton’s ramblings is interesting reading up to a point. I am not a big fan of any pundits as most of them actually ruin the enjoyment of watching football.

I don’t like Neville so when Barton has a go at the all knowing one then I find it refreshing. When he has a go at female pundits, I can see the point he is trying to make. When did it become not ok to discuss complex situations without being deemed anti woke, misogynist, racist or whatever else? It’s far too easy to shut down conversations throwing these accusations about.

Worst thing for me in all this is the side taking. Everything has to be black and white, right or wrong and 99% of the time it is just not possible, certainly not in the real world.

The internet and social media has ramped up some sort of mixed up reality.

It’s all fucked up. If you want to get upset about Barton get upset, if you agree with him, that’s also fine. Shutting down debate is not. As an individual, you have a right to be offended but that does not mean everyone has to be offended and outraged.

We all know he is a thug and we all know he is trying to make money from the situation. We also know that some people do get jobs to tick boxes. Getting upset that this all happens is not worth the energy.

I do hope he continues to wind up Neville. Don’t forget this person caused a riot and got a game called off amongst other things. He has been allowed to spout lies constantly with spit on sky sports to reinforce his own agenda. So who is the worst person? Barton or Neville?

I don’t agree with this.

I don’t believe you should be a pundit on the mens top level game.

But I also don’t believe I should be a pundit on the mens top level game.

I believe the pundits should be people able to offer insight from the standpoint of being experts in their field that have walked the walk and have been exactly where the players they are that they’re discussing.

I don’t believe the women’s game is anywhere near that level (see best female team in the world losing 6-0 to a middling team of under 16’s). So I don’t believe that the female pundits have anymore right than you or I to discuss how Foden’s performing playing in the hole etc etc.

Now the broadcasters also seem to believe that their pundits should have played at the top level. (That’s why we only see former PL/WSL players being pundits - they don’t employ men (or women) that played several divisions lower. The difference being that some people believe the WSL is equivalent to the PL whereas some people don’t.

In reality, the majority of the male pundits are fucking wank as well (Carragher, Owen, that **** Merson etc etc) so it’s not like the female pundits appear to be denying jobs to intelligent and articulate ex-players (mainly because they usually end up in management I’d say). As such, I don’t really have an issue with women pundit-ing on the mens game because it’s already not a meritocracy, but surely they can do better than Eni fucking Aluko.
