Barton continues to play women's football and employs England goalkeeper Mary Earps

“I'll score 100 penalties against Mary Earps,” said the short-lived English international (a test) in a new trade against women's football. “Any day of the week. And twice on a Sunday.”

After the first salvo of misogynistic and sexist messages in early December, Joey Barton declared that football was weighed down by “corruption” and “pedophilia”. By striking new supporters this time around, the former midfielder may have lost even more credibility with the British public.
