Joey Barton's 'warped, wicked views' which saw him liken two female football pundits to serial killers Rosemary and Fred West have been strongly condemned by Daily Mail associate editor Stephen Wright.
Wright was speaking to It's All Kicking Off hosts Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton on the back of his powerful article in which he said Barton's serial killer comparison was an obscene new low for a deluded, sexist thug.
'There is a line which you must not cross and I think he's crossed that line by several country miles in this attack,' Wright, who has covered crime for the Mail for 33 years, said.
