Previously I have just ignored Barton and thought he will go back under the rock he came from
However for Barton to say this about Mary Earps: "To win before Ronnie O'Sullivan and Frankie Dettori…? Well, that's just madness to me," he tweeted.
"Both almost genius like in their respective fields. They've lost to a big sack of spuds that plays in goal for a girls team.
And to say he would score 100/100 penalties against her is just laughable. He truly is a wrong un on so many levels. I would like to see Mary Earps call him out and challenge him to those penalties and for each one he misses he gives to charities. Maybe to womens charities.
On a side note, why do some on here (and they know who they are) only ever appear when its something controversial that they can stir up - No wonder Clive despairs at times
He certainly wouldn’t score against her from a 100 direct free kicks
This is a prime example of why SheffieldHoop feels it's sinister. SH took the time to construct a lucid and well laid out argument. Personally, I think "sinister" is a little strong but if I was inclined to respond I'd take the time to construct a lucid and well laid out counter argument. The best you can manage is a lazy accusation of "casual misogyny". In doing so, you've proved SH's point. QED.

Benny, on the wrong side of an argument as usual. QED mate

'A big sack of spuds'...?
At the risk of sounding like one of those sexist beasts one hears about, Mary Earps certainly does not merit that description, either in terms of pulchritude or ability. I would, however, wager that comedy Frenchman Joé Bârtonne's sack contains fewer spuds than hers both figuratively and literally.
Fcuking melt. Why doesn't he just disappear smartly up his own central orifice?
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

He’s a narcissist, totally self absorbed but oblivious to his contradictions.
His words regarding Mary Earps. Really, how could you? I know why he’s doing it. We’re surrounded by some proper feckwits, and he knows it.
I can't help but feel Barton would be delighted we've produced 9 page discussion thread about him. It's exactly what he wants. Let's just ignore the little toad.

It’s true, David, but he needs to be called out. No - win for us.
Barton should fck off to Saudi Arabia where his prehistoric bullshit will be more appreciated. In fact it would be great if all his type could fck off over there to be replaced by an equivalant number of Saudi women over here.
During the women's world cup the BBC had a player vox pop of the England players at the airport flying out to Australia. It was unintentionally hilarious , because the interviewer kept asking who players would be sitting next to, and the all kept saying "dunno, probably not Mary [Earps]", and when they interviewed Earps she said brightly "Probably just sit on me own!" 😆
Came away with the impression she's got a bit of the goalkeeper crazies about her.

QPRKirty yet again with nothing constructive to say and further reinforcing the original point. QED.
I understand that you're not the sharpest tool in the box but just for once in your life try to put together a lucid argument based in fact and supported by evidence. Your casual cancel culture don't wash with me, pal.
Who are these plotters? Where do they meet? How do you join? Are there doughnuts and coffee?
The point I think SH was trying to make is that conversation on difficult topics is discouraged. Many of those who disagree with the alternative opinion haven't the intellect to construct a lucid argument (see QPRKirty above for example) so try to shut the conversation down with casual insults and labelling.
Now, SH happens to find this behaviour "sinister". I personally feel that's a bit strong but nevertheless cancel culture is a scourge on debate and discussion. It's not lost on me that the advent of cancel culture has coincided with a series of ugly global events. For the world to move forward these difficult conversations need to happen even if some find them uncomfortable.
Personally I would have had Stuart Broad who been immense for over 15 years.
Although any event that once voted alleged abuser and proven cheat with his brothers wife over an eight year period, Mr Ryan Giggs as Sports PERSONALITY of the year is a dubious award anyhow.
But basically the final point is the only relevant comment.
Joey Barton is the nob of all nobs !!!
He hates QPR and that's so upsetting Joey but if so please return all the dosh you decided happily to extract from our club.
Princess Anne and Zara Phillips both won previously so its clearly not chosen politically, or is it ??? 🤣
She seems a typical nutcase goalkeeper so am sure she is a personality.
Times are changing and although being of older vintage and will always watch the mens game, delighted for the women that their game is constantly increasing its participation and also attendance numbers.
As to BBC sports personality of the year, its not what it was and is an irrelevance today anyhow.
