Comments made by Joey Barton back in 2017 have resurfaced in the midst of the former Manchester City and Newcastle player's sexist rants against female players and analysts appearing on the coverage for men's games.

Barton has taken to social media in recent days to voice his opinion that women should not 'be talking about the men's game' and criticised any men that listen to what female pundits have to say.

The ex-midfielder shared a number of sexist posts on social media in a shocking tirade against the involvement of women in the men's game, including slamming his old side Man City for hiring a female presenter.
