Take that, Joey Barton! Alex Scott hits back at ex-Man City star live on air after controversial claims about women pundits

Premier League

Tottenham

Scott presented BBC Sport's live coverage<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alessia-russo-lauren-james-winners-losers-arsenal-condemn-chelsea-biggest-women-s-super-league-defeat-five-years/blt37db2d75d3c90783" target="_blank"> of Arsenal's 4-1 defeat of Chelsea</a> in the Women's Super League on Sunday. Just before the end of the broadcast, the former Gunners star sent a defiant message to women and girls wanting to work in men's football.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On Friday, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ex-man-city-newcastle-joey-barton-women-shouldnt-talking-mens-football-misogynistic-rant-female-commentators-pundits/blt4f6896f61c52ab20" target="_blank">Barton published</a> a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) in which he argued that women should not provide commentary or analysis on men's football as they have no experience playing it, and that women have 'taken over' football broadcasting. His views received widespread condemnation as sexist and misogynistic.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Scott said when wrapping up her presenting duties at the Emirates Stadium: "To all the women in football, in front of the camera, behind it, to the players on the pitch, to everyone that attends games, keep being the role models that you continue to be."To all those young girls that are told 'no you can't', football is a better place with us all in it."

WHAT ALEX SCOTT SAID

After sharing his views on women, Barton also claimed that he is "ready for the <a href="https://twitter.com/Joey7Barton/status/1733779817709908230" target="_blank">race conversation</a>" in response the backlash he has faced on social media. While he continues his bid to stay in the headlines, Scott and all the other women covering men's football will do their best to block out the outside noise and focus on their work.
