Joey Barton has claimed women in football have used their sexuality as an ‘advantage’ and ‘violated marriages’ in his latest sexist rant. 

The ex-Manchester City player hit out at those seemingly criticising him for his recent campaign against female pundits and players as he claimed to have ‘plenty to fight…back with’.

The 41-year-old said he did not blame female footballers for ‘using your sexuality to get an advantage’ but warned critics not to ‘come for me’ as he knew ‘where all your skeletons are buried’ and the ‘marriages you have violated’. 

He then invited them to sue him for his comments before saying he did not ‘want a war’ but that ‘doesn’t mean, I will walk away if you start one’.

It comes after a series of misogynistic posts from Barton targeting respected broadcasters and former players, with Barton initially suggesting that ‘women shouldn’t be talking with any kind of authority in the men’s game.’

Barton posted on X, formerly Twitter, this morning saying: ‘It’s Sunday today. I was going to have a day of rest.

‘Some people seem to forget, I’ve been in this industry (football) over 20 years. The players all talk. They’re like women in that regard. They tell each other everything. They brag about their conquests.

‘I know all those virtue signalling, ‘We’ve worked really hard for years to get to this position’ females are upset. Your knickers are in a twist. Unfortunately, I know where all your skeletons are buried. That’s your fault. You compromised yourself messing with the talent. I don’t want to have to exhume some bodies. 

‘I also, don’t blame you using your sexuality to get an advantage. It’s a big tool and everyone should use all there tools wisely in the game of life. We all know whose marriages you have violated. 

‘What info you got from the pillow talk to get ahead and who is in a desperate situation behind the scenes because of the #Metoo movement and the fear it’s put to certain organisations. 

‘Rightfully so, as well. Dirty pervs. We all know some of you have multiple players on the same team on your body counts. I don’t judge you solely on that. But come on now, don’t expect me to take you seriously. Please. Don’t take me for a fool. Lawyer up. Sue me. Get me cancelled. Pressure my employer’s, my sponsors.

‘Do what and as you please. I’ve got plenty to fight you back with. I’ve deeper pockets than most. Just remember, people who throw stones, shouldn’t live in glass houses. I hope you’re whiter than white if you come for me. 

‘That includes some of the black community currently libelling themselves on my timeline. Don’t worry, I see you. I have the screenshots. Carry on your nonsense, I’ll delightfully part you from your money.

‘I don’t want a war. I never have. That also doesn’t mean, I will walk away if you start one. I never taken a backward step in my life. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. May your God’s shine favourably on you.’

The ex-Bristol Rovers and Fleetwood town head coach is spending the weekend on holiday in the Maldives, where he posted a photo of him in a yoga position whilst siting on the beach. 

Whilst on this ‘peaceful’ holiday, Barton continued his vicious online tirade on Eni Aluko after claiming the TV pundit is ‘in the Joseph Stalin category’ for ‘murdering hundreds of thousands of ears’.

The former Man City and Newcastle midfielder has been intensely criticised in recent weeks for a series of sexist barbs against women, who he claims ‘aren’t qualified’ to talk about men’s football.

Barton has launched repeated tirades against female football broadcasters and players in recent weeks He called it ‘dangerous’ for women to work at men’s clubs due to them ‘having full-blown affairs and costing people marriages’.

He recently threatened Gary Neville and ordered him to ‘keep your head down or you will get emptied’ after the broadcaster criticised him for comparing female pundits to serial killers.

The 41-year-old sparked fury on Friday morning when he compared Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to serial killers Fred and Rose West after they covered Crystal Palace’s FA Cup draw with Everton.

ITV condemned his attack as ‘shameful’ and Neville tweeted his support for their post, adding that Barton had gone ‘too far’.

Barton subsequently hit back at Neville, writing on X: ‘Gary, please keep your head down or you will get emptied as well’.

Barton first began this sexist tirade at the beginning of December, five weeks after he was sacked by Bristol Rovers, following a poor start to the 2023/2024 season.  

The 41-year-old first wrote: ‘Women shouldn’t be talking with any kind of authority in the men’s game. Come on. Let’s be serious.

‘Any man who listens to Women commentary or co-comms needs their heads testing…’ 

‘The women’s game is thriving. Fantastic to see. I cannot take a thing they say serious in the men’s arena.’ 

Then on Boxing Day last month, Barton took aim at Amazon Prime Video Sport for including former Liverpool goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis as a pundit for the Reds’ 2-0 win over Burnley, saying her inclusion was ‘nonsense’ and ‘tokenism’.

After Mary Earps won Sports Personality of the Year, he gloated that he would score ‘100 out of 100 penalties’ against the Women’s World Cup Golden Glove holder.

Despite initially congratulating Earps – who won the Golden Glove on her way to the Women’s World Cup final with the Lionesses in the summer – he went on to claim she had ‘not won a sausage’ and called her a ‘big sack of spuds’ in a bitter broadside.

He insisted horse racing legend Frankie Dettori or snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan should had won the award instead.

The one-time England international’s vitriolic posts have attracted widespread condemnation.

He demanded that Lionesses hero Alex Scott ‘shouldn’t commentate on the men’s game’ in one post.

His tirade included saying female football pundits commenting on the men’s game was the same as him ‘talking about knitting or netball’ – as he marked those who disagreed with him as ‘fart parcels’ and ‘eunuchs’.

At the end of presenting BBC Sport’s live coverage of Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Chelsea in the Women’s Super League, Scott hit back with an inspirational message.

‘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,’ Scott said.

‘To all those young girls that are told ‘no you can’t’, football is a better place with us all in it.’

It’s just the latest in a long string of controversies, which has seen ‘bad boy’ Barton jailed for assault and branded a ‘sexist’ for his online rants against female pundits commenting on the ‘beautiful game’.  

Former Manchester City and Newcastle star Barton was blasted earlier this month after he demanded Lioness hero Alex Scott ‘shouldn’t commentate on the men’s game’, during an outburst on X – formerly Twitter. 

His ‘sexist’ tirade included saying female football pundits commenting on the men’s game was the same as him ‘talking about knitting or netball’ – as he branded those who disagreed with him as ‘fart parcels’ and ‘eunuchs’. 

Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Barton then sought to defend his comments, again rounding on Scott and claiming she wasn’t qualified enough to commentate about the men’s game as she had never played in it. 

When grilled about his views. Barton said ‘she hasn’t played in it’, adding: ‘One is 200 years old and one is about 40 years old… it’s the same rules but football is about a lot more than rules… The games are at two different speeds.’

Barton said it was the same as him commentating on Formula One just because he can drive a car.

It’s far from the first time he has sparked controversy, though. In 2004 Barton jabbed a cigar in the eye of fellow Man City squad member Jason Tandy during a boozy Christmas do. 

Barton said his outburst was sparked after youth star Tandy provoked him, setting fire to his T-shirt in the run-up to the scuffle, which led to the footballing bad-boy being fined six weeks’ wages and an apology to despondent boss Kevin Keegan. 

Speaking earlier this month about the incident, Barton told the Anything Goes With James English podcast. ‘We were on the booze all day Sunday morning, and I think Paul Bosvelt or [Robbie] Fowler started it. They were all in fancy dress in this bar and started setting each other’s costumes alight.

‘So it was the seniors who started it, just burning the edge of it. In five or 10 minutes it went round the whole group and then it stopped.

‘I’d burned Tandy’s costume. Someone had got me, and then I’d burned Tandy back – no malice in it. He didn’t have the opportunity to get me back, everything gets calmed down, lighters are confiscated off everybody by the security.’

Four years later and Barton found himself yet again under the spotlight after a training ground brawl with ex-teammate, Ousmane Dabo, which saw wannabe hardman Barton slapped with a six-match ban by the FA in 2008.

Hot-headed Barton left the Frenchman distraught after pummeling him, leaving the wounded football star feeling like the ‘Elephant Man’ due to the swelling on his face.

Barton admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm after Dabo was left with cuts and bruises as well as a detached retina, and given a four-month suspended sentence. 

Speaking to The Sun after the attack, Dabo said: ‘When I woke up this morning I looked at myself in the mirror with my face all swollen up and I looked like the Elephant Man.

‘I’ve never known anything like this before in my career.’

That same year, Barton was sentenced to six months behind bars for common assault and affray following an incident in Liverpool city centre.

It came after a furious Barton was caught on CCTV punching a man 20 times and breaking a teenager’s teeth.  

The one-time England star was already on bail over an allegation of criminal damage involving a Liverpool taxi driver and the earlier fight with Dabo, when the book was thrown at him for his violent attack. 

He was convicted of assault and served 77 days in prison.

Barton has been as fiery on the pitch as off it. In 2012, he was slapped with a 12-game ban after elbowing Carlos Tevez in the throat during Premier League clash between his new team QPR and former side Man City. 

He also kicked out at Sergio Aguero, before a red card was shown and he squared up to Vincent Kompany and Mario Balotelli as he left the pitch.

As well as his ‘sexist’ rants against female pundits on social media, Barton has also clashed heads with his male counter-parts online, too. 

Following Barton’s sending off and ban during that chaotic 2012 clash, Match of the Day pundits Alan Shearer, Alan Hansen and Gary Lineker blasted his behaviour. 

Not happy with their scathing critic, Barton took to Twitter and wrote: ‘I’d take it off Hansen and @GaryLineker but not from that bell, same fella that stamped on Neil Lennon,then threatened FA if they banned him.”

He added: ‘I really don’t like that p****, in fact I honestly despise him… Goodnight.’

Lineker later defended Shearer, responding: ‘Still raging then? Still kicking out? And still, presumably, misunderstood? But only by yourself I suspect.’

To which bitter Barton responded, calling the former England captain an ‘odious little toad’.

In October last year, Barton was cleared of assaulting his wife after a judge ruled he could not have a fair trial because prosecutors would not call her to give evidence.

The ex-Premier League midfielder, was accused of pushing Georgia Barton, 36, to the floor before kicking her during a drunken row at their home in in Kew, south-west London on June 2, 2021.

Mrs Barton, who is said to have been left with a golf-ball sized bruise on her forehead and a bleeding nose, was ‘audibly upset and shaken’, when she dialled 999 just before 11.15pm, Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard.

‘My husband has just hit me in the house,’ she said, telling the call handler she had been left with a ‘bloody nose’ after Barton hit her ‘just in the face’, before officers arrived at the scene within 25 minutes.

Body-worn footage played in court captured Mrs Barton saying: ‘I was pushed and kicked about and stuff.’

The officer noted ‘a bit of a lump and some blood’, while speaking to a female officer in a utility room around five minutes later, Mrs Barton said her husband ‘just flipped out’ and ‘threw me down’.

The midfielder appeared to downplay his brother Michael Barton’s role in a 2005 racially-motivated murder as a ‘f***ing scrap’ in a clip from an upcoming podcast appearance

Barton was playing for Manchester City when Michael was convicted of murdering Anthony Walker, with his brother serving 17 years of a life sentence for his part in killing the black 18-year-old in McGoldrick Park in Liverpool before being released from prison in September 2022.

Walker was returning home with his girlfriend Louisa Thompson and cousin Marcus Binns when Michael – accompanied by his cousin Paul Taylor – began hurling racist epithets at Walker, saying: ‘walk, n*****, walk’ as the trio passed by. 

The pair later stalked and ambushed Walker and Taylor drove an ice axe in his skull which left the teenager brain-dead within moments.

Michael and Taylor fled to Amsterdam, but later returned to be charged with his murder, and later tried at Liverpool Crown Court.
