"She hasn't got a degree in anything, she's s****. She's got a degree in boring people to death,” Barton said of Alex Scott’s punditry skills.

FOOTBALL Eni Aluko insists she has ‘not fled’ England after emerging in Ivory Coast
Aluko insists she is in the Ivory Coast for the ongoing AFCON and did not "flee" England because of sexist attacks by Joey Barton.
Alongside an explicit caption about Scott, Barton stated in the clip, "She's about to put Football Focus, which is a flagship thing, in the ground. We've got her to thank for that."
Barton dismissed the relevance of Scott's degree in sports journalism, asserting, "She hasn't got a degree in anything, she's s****. She's got a degree in boring people to death, that's why they're turning off."
There have been concerns about the potential cancellation of Football Focus due to declining viewership, with a significant drop coinciding with Scott taking over as the main presenter in 2021.
Barton, who previously predicted the demise of the show, criticized it as “drivel and nonsense” under Scott's leadership.

FOOTBALL Ex-Man City star sparks more controversy as he compares female pundits to notorious serial killers
Joey Barton has continued to speak out against female football pundits talking about men’s football by taking aim at Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward during an FA Cup broadcast.
Scott has faced sexist remarks from Barton in the past, but she has responded, defending the presence of women in football. After a Women's Super League match in December, she emphasized, "football is a better place with us all in it."
Barton, however, persists in his criticism, asserting that Scott "doesn't have a clue" about the men's game and describing her as a 'really bad player.' Scott, a former England player with 140 caps and multiple league titles with Arsenal, has become a target of Barton's ongoing tirade against women in football.
Barton's disparaging remarks extend beyond Scott, as he previously criticized England goalkeeper Mary Earps, questioning her abilities just minutes after she received the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
