Joey Barton has responded to Alex Scott's defence of female pundits in the men's game by insisting that she doesn't 'have a clue' and taking aim at her playing career.

Speaking during the BBC's coverage of the Women's Super League fixture between Arsenal and Chelsea on Sunday, Scott told women that 'football is a better place with us all in it', seemingly hitting back at numerous sexist digs made by Barton.

Barton, formerly of Newcastle and QPR, claimed that women shouldn't be able to 'comment on men's football because they haven't played it'.
