Thing is though he's right isn't he, non of them actually sound like a commentator, it's just box ticking woke bollocks. Fair play to him actually having the bollocks to stand up and actually say something cause everyone is scared with the way the woke brigade are these days. "woke, woke, woke, woke" ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/MGmnFOZRFRo4w/giphy.gif)

Yep , he's not going to back down. He never backed down on a football pitch and he's not going to back down on social media. He will be enjoying this. He knows he will be infuriating people who consider themselves ' woke ' , ' right on ' , ' politically correct ' etc and he couldn't care less . My point of view is I agree with his right to not be woke and politically correct. Good for him. Even to the point of talking bollox, it is just a refreshing change to see someone willing to give an honest opinion. I respect him for that. Just what on earth are you talking about? I respect Barton for being willing to say what he thinks. Even though what he thinks is not politically correct, not woke and not playing the game . Good for him. I remember I read Eddie Izzard's autobiography, which is very honest . I enjoyed it and I genuinely like Eddie Izzard. Izzard explained that his dad was chief accountant of British Petroleum ( BP) , he went to public ( private ) school was white upper upper middle class ( basically loaded) blah blah Starting off , he realised that he did not want to be walking on the stage at the comedy club , the Hammersmith Apollo , stand up for comedy etc and genuinely telling people in all sincerity he was posh, white , loaded , privileged etc in his best public school accent . Whilst honest and true, he reckoned that wasn't a winner career wise . So he tells people to call him sally Izzard , wears women's clothes etc etc That's fine. I reckon he made a good call career wise . But it's not necessary for everyone to be like Eddie Izzard. I can like the ultra woke , ultra politically correct, ultra "right on" Eddie Izzard And like the anti woke Joey Barton. I like them both, think they are both intelligent and neither is a ' stupid stupid man' or a ' scumbag '

He's just said and done particular scummy things over the years. As for the Eddie Izzard stuff I have no idea what the relevance is?

In a simple sentence, if a media darling like Izzard is entitled to be ' right on ' and ultra woke,then Barton is just as entitled to be not right on and not Ultra woke.

Barton's not a "scumbag" because he's anti-woke. He's just said and done particular scummy things over the years. As for the Eddie Izzard stuff I have no idea what the relevance is? Simple, if Izzard is entitled to be politically correct and play the game. Then Barton is entitled to be anti woke and not play the game. Both are entitled to say and do what they like. And people are entitled to disagree especially if like Barton you're putting your opinions on social media and inviting replies........

Do you think grown-up, adult men have stopped watching football because of women pundits? yeah , i know a couple , some women pundits have ruined the experience tbf "You watching the big game on Sunday, it's going to be a classic?" "No mate Karen Carney is in the studio with Keane and Carragher so I'll probably just watch Songs of Praise instead"

Quite a few crap male pundits, but can’t think of one good female one to be fair. Kim Carney grates and Alex Scott sends me to sleep.

And Joey Barton has got what he set out to do and that was to get as many forms of social media discussing him as possible 😆 he ain't daft, a prick maybe but not stupid.

You can interpret it how you like but thats the second of his comments that you've put words in his mouth which he hasn't said. You'll be calling him Gammon next.

One thing that is weird though....many of the men on here seemingly don't like women being involved in or even talking about men's football, yet I've never once seen any of them actually have the balls to stand up and say to this to ANY of the female posters on this board in any threads perviously.
So big,brave and courageous aren't they eh?

Presumably you're not aware of what the words "I think" actually mean or what the phrase "putting words in someone's mouth" actually means (to be fair, from your previous posts, I'm not surprised that basic intelligence is beyond you).

A good pundit is someone who provides useful insight into what you’re watching….
Emma Hayes good, Eniola Aluko not.
Gary Neville good, Garth Crooks not.
Cricket has plenty of good pundits or summarisers that haven’t played at the elite level but are good broadcasters. Eg Mark Nicholas Jonathan Agnew (limited test career), Alison Mitchell etc

He's stating what the vast majority are thinking though (regarding women pundits). Old fashioned? maybe but Id put money on Sky Soccer Saturday's viewing figures decreasing since they ceased being old fashioned. Vast majority of who? I would imagine most women don't agree with him and also a fair proportion of men. Which would mean 'the majority' don't agree with him. Unless of course women don't count.
