Really worrying moment on ITV4 earlier as Laura Woods collapsed while presenting coverage of England women’s friendly against Ghana. The 38-year-old was broadcasting alongside Ian Wright and Anita Asante when she appeared to faint, prompting ITV to cut to a wide shot and then go to break: Credit to @IanWright0 he was super alert there!…
You can just imagine Joey Barton watching the Euro 2025 final last night and praying that the England women’s team did not win the shootout at the end. Unfortunately for him that’s exactly what they did, and so he immediately jumped on X to let his feelings be known. Barton labelled the competition the ‘Nonsense…
I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that the skill gap between men and women’s football is quite substantial, but even still, you wouldn’t expect an under-15 boys team to thrash a women’s national team 7-1, would you? Sure enough, a Switzerland side featuring Alisha Lehmann lost 7-1 to FC Luzern’s Under-15 team this…
Ian Wright has put out a video saying he ‘can’t accept’ Eni Aluko’s apology after she claimed that the Arsenal legend was ‘blocking’ opportunities for female broadcasters in women’s football by featuring so prominently in programming.

It looks like Eni Aluko has p1ssed off the wrong people (i.e. her employers) following her comments about Ian Wright blocking opportunities for female pundits by ‘dominating’ women’s sports coverage. According to MailOnline, ITV bosses are ‘angry and bemused’ by the comments, especially as they routinely send female-heavy punditry teams to cover major international tournaments…
There’s an argument that no man has done more to push women’s football positively in the UK than Ian Wright, but somehow Eni Aluko still has a problem with it, because she thinks he’s blocking opportunities for female pundits to discuss the game instead. Former England and Chelsea player Aluko, 38, told Radio 4: ‘I’ve…
Eni Aluko is suing Joey Barton for ‘extreme upset and distress.’
Can’t argue with that.
A travesty of injustice.
Whatever you say about women’s football, you never see anything like this in the Premier League.
