Joey Barton has reacted after former England international Eni Aluko admitted she was considering fleeing the UK because of the comments he has aimed at her in recent weeks. Barton has spoken out against female football pundits and has been particularly critical of Aluko.
After Aluko posted a video to social media, Barton took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “Cry me a f****** river. I was waiting for the victim card to be played. Eni, sorry luv, you’re dreadful as a pundit.
“Tone deaf, can’t count and most importantly you know next to nothing about men’s football. You should have ran off to a desert island after your ‘Arteta phoning Pep to put a bid’ in nonsense. Everyone is laughing at you. Not just me.”
