Joey Barton THREATENS Gary Neville as pundit applauds ITV for calling out disgusting tweet

Joey Barton THREATENS Gary Neville as the Sky Sports pundit applauds ITV for calling out the ex-Bristol Rovers manager’s disgusting tweet.

The broadcaster took aim with criticism towards Barton after he compared female pundits Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to serial killers.

Barton, 41, started ranting again on Friday morning, comparing Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to Fred and Rose West after Crystal Palace’s 0-0 draw with Everton in the FA Cup on Thursday night.

But ITV have since condemned his views, describing it as ‘shameful’ while Gary Neville tweeted in support of the broadcaster, adding that Barton had gone ‘too far’.

ITV said in a statement: “For Joey barton, an ex-professional player with a significant social media presence, to target two of our pundits, Eni Aluko and Lucy ward, with such vindictive remarks based on gender and to invoke the names of serial killers in doing so is clearly contemptible and shameful on his part. Football is for everyone.”

Gary Neville wrote: “Well done ITV. It’s gone too far this and mentioning serial killers is quite simply incredible. My daughters have watched Salford City with me for 10 years and like to comment on football, my mum was kicked out of the football team ( boys in the 1960’s) and stopped playing due to mysogyny , my sister struggled for funding for her sport for years and my brother was mocked when he took over the England women’s team. I come from a family that has fought these issues for years and I’ve witnessed it first hand. All this does is just discourage and it’s not the way forward. It’s bloody hard work for Women to succeed in sport and media as it is without this stuff. ❤️”

Barton then hit back at Neville, writing: “Gary, please keep your head down or you will get emptied as well. I know they pay your wages and I don’t want to have to put you away. Worry about one of the other 3758 business things you’ve got going on. I’ll decide when it’s gone too far. Not you. 👑 👍”

Barton also hit back at ITV: “Shut up you fucking idiots. Keep them off the tele. They’re ruining the game for everyone of us.

“It’s what happens when you force under qualified, under prepared, tokenistic people onto us.

“I will be calling them all serial killers from now on. Every clip you fuckers put out.

“Told you, I don’t care anymore. We’ve all had enough of your ‘Woke’, ‘DEI’ bullshit.

“I hope everyone who agrees with me, gets right after your social media every time you force this nonsense on us. 👍

“I tried to play nice, you didn’t listen. 👑”

This is how fans reacted after Joey Barton THREATENS Gary Neville as the Sky Sports pundit applauds ITV for calling out what made called a disgusting tweet…

@RichardMUFC: I’m not sure why it took me so long to block Joey Barton but it’s done. What a prick.

@SSE_LTFC: I’m no fan of Joey Barton by any stretch but Eni Aluko performance as a pundit last night was below subpar.

@Kel_NFFC (to ITV): But you haven’t listened to the majority of your viewers who are not watching until KO because Aluko isn’t good at her job. She always makes mistakes & when she’s called out for it, out comes the race & gender card which is also not on. Employ competent pundits that’s all we ask

@joshj0nes_90: Joey Barton losing the plot on here and I’m all for it😂

@364690: Joey Barton is on one tonight haha

@FPLJim1: Absolutely incredible watching Joey Barton cancel himself in real time.

@delves1: Joey Barton is a menace, the more people try and stop him the more he is gonna go, just sit back grab the popcorn

@Stanley75791931: He was spot on they are bloody dreadful!

@ThomasFarmer: The bit that Joey Barton is missing, it isn’t a box ticking/woke thing having women pundits. They’re trying to grow the women’s game for more revenue, by having women alongside the elite level men that in itself boosts the profile of the women’s game. It’s all about 💷

@Scottiboi1977: Joey Barton is an idiot. We’ve always known it. I didn’t think he could stoop this low to be honest and I am not sure what his future looks like.. but it’s fucking bleak. No club or TV channel is gonna go near him… maybe talk sport.. but seriously. It’s over for him

@rhjbm05: I can’t help but want to take Joey Barton’s side at this point. I don’t really like him much he’s a bit of a nobhead but what he says about virtue signalling and box ticking is 100% true. Eni Aluko is a shit pundit only there BECAUSE of her gender/race.

@ALargeDan1: I’ve muted the absolute dinosaur so I have no clue what he’s said now, although I can probably have a pretty accurate guess, but it seems like Joey Barton is trying to get some limelight again. The fella needs to lay off the bevvies and packet.

@nocontextfm1: People come after certain female pundits like there aren’t LOADS of male pundits that are awful

@budge90msb: Not sure why everyone’s surprised with joey Barton. Blokes always been a fucking helmet

@ConorCounihan · 30m I’ve been saying it more than 15 years. Joey Barton is lower than dog shit. Always has been.

@DamanPeel: I don’t agree with likening female pundits to serial killers in any way, shape or form. Joey Barton is, as usual, being stupid & should rightly be criticized. I do though think that choice of punditry should be best for the job, not to fit quotas of male/female/race perceived need

@JusP: Can someone please call Joey Barton’s Mum & ask her to hug him a bit more in future, can’t do anything about the past which is probably where the real issue lies 🙄🙄

@AndyLFC27: Mentioning serial killers isn’t good, but Eni Aluko is an absolutely BRUTAL pundit, and brings very little, if anything to the shows. She is clearly a box ticking exercise and should be nowhere near our TV screens.

@VinnyP_MOT: Joey Barton is a bell of the highest order, but he’s right about Aluko etc. They’re shite and need cancelling

@spiralout77: Has anyone checked on Joey Barton? There’s another woman on the telly having opinions on football, he’ll be wanking himself into a fury again. The fucking twat.

@VVDFC1: Not sure why Joey Barton keeps talking like he can put people away. All anyone has to do his point to his previous form and his latest form. He made excuses for his murdering cunt of a brother as if he was the victim. What’s he going to say exactly to anyone who brings that up?

@LPP2014: Barton is an absolute dick, btw. And I don’t just mean recently. Always has been. An absolutely horrible human being. Can’t believe I’m willing Gary Neville on. How times have changed

@MrPJLinton: Just waiting for @GaryLineker to pipe up.

@1SamRafferty: Somebody needs to keep an eye on Barton.. Really doesn’t seem right. All these weird tweets.

@JamesKoppertCFC: Joey barton is a man who puts crowns either side of his name. That’s all you need to know

@1894am: Bet he was itching for the sack at the gas just so he could come on here and say whatever he liked 🤣🤣
