Joey Barton updates — Alex Scott breaks silence on shock rant as former Premier League player slammed by commentators

Joey Barton slammed by Laura Woods

Joey Barton has been slammed by TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods over his comments about female pundits.

Former Manchester City and Newcastle star Barton went into a tirade on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming women are not qualified to talk about the men's game.

His tirade on X included saying that women commentating on men's football was the same as him "talking about knitting or netball" - and called those who disagreed with him "eunuchs" and "fart parcels".

The controversial star's comments have received a huge backlash after the former Bristol Rovers boss said he does not think women pundits should be allowed to comment on the men's game.
