Woods turns on Aluko for feud with Wright after her attacks

Laura Woods has waded into the ongoing row between Eni Aluko and Ian Wright, telling her that her latest comments are 'dragging women's punditry backwards'.

At it again. Always comes across very entitled to me. She'll never accept that she's a pretty poor pundit and generally dislikeable.

Only thing she seems to be good at is burning bridges.

It was very stupid to pick on Wright of all people, a huge supporter of the women's game for many years.

Like any pundit, she has had good and bad takes on things.

Simon Jordan doesn’t come off too well here. Saying that Aluko has been fortunate because of DEI programs when she has over 100 caps for England and has had an excellent club career, is just a bit daft really in my opinion.

Not sure her criticisms of Ian Wright make her public image look great but I think she is getting at a wider point about the system that the women’s game exists in. It shouldn’t need big names from the men’s game as pundits to succeed. That’s her ultimate point for me. However, Wright has always supported the women’s game and is acting in good faith doing the punditry, so he didn’t deserve the criticism.

They have women pundits on TV for men's games.. BBC and ITV. Plus Match of Day presenters - two women. No problems in men's game

And yes, she was way out of order with Wrighty, very supportive of women's game

That TalkSport piece is a car crash of an interview. Forty five minutes of Jim White clickbait, allowing Eluko to dig herself into a deeper and deeper hole.

I actually listened to the Talksport interview at the time. Simon Jordan actually let her off lightly; I was literally cringing for her.

She seems to have difficulty accepting the fact that she’s not very good in front of the camera.

Aluko is the Diane Abbot of football punditry.
