    Joey Barton slammed female commentators
    His tirade included saying that women commentating on men’s football was the same as him “talking about knitting or netball” – and called those who disagreed with him “eunuchs” and “fart parcels”
    Barton, 41, tonight defended his comments on Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV.
    However, he was then slammed by Bianca Westwood.
    She said: “Who is qualified to speak on football then? I’ve been watching football for 40 years, my first game at West Ham was before Joey was even born.

    “I’ve been watching hours and hours of football. I worked behind the scenes at Sky for 10 years before I was even given a shot on camera, watching my male colleagues who maybe weren’t as good as I was, getting chances I was never given.
    “I don’t really understand what we need to know, how long we need to work behind the scenes before we are allowed on camera. To be a pundit, the laws are the same. Emma Hayes and Sarina Wiegman can both read the game, are you saying they can’t offer an insight?
    “Sounds like to me that Joey has a problem with particular pundits who haven’t done enough in the game, but how does he know? And how do we quantify that? There’s EFL players who are commentating, co-commentating on Champions League games. So what level – as far as Joey Barton is concerned – do you have to get before you can be an expert on the ‘men’s game’?”
    Barton replied: “I take everything on board. I’ve known Bianca, being around the game for as long as she has and she works very hard and does a fantastic job.

    “I wouldn’t say Bianca is there on tokenism, she’s worked incredibly hard and has earned that recognition within the industry.”
    The controversial star’s comments have received a huge backlash after the former Bristol Rovers boss said he does not think women pundits should be allowed to comment on the men’s game.
    Barton’s tweeted: “Women shouldn’t be talking with any kind of authority in the men’s game. Come on. Let’s be serious.
    “It’s a completely different game. If you don’t accept that. We will always see things differently.
    “The women’s game is thriving. Fantastic to see.
    “I cannot take a thing they say serious in the men’s arena.”
    Hours after his initial tirade Barton doubled down on his comments and called out Manchester City’s social media manager.
    Barton also responded to several men taking issue with his comments by calling them “eunuchs”.
    He also posted images of children’s dolls such as Action Man without any genitalia to emphasis his point.

    TNT Sports presenter Woods leaped to the Man City media manager’s defence after Barton stated his desire to rid football of influencers.

    It was being broadcast live on BBC2.
    The commotion started just as David Silva was picking out Switzerland as the final team in Group A.
    And the former Manchester City star did not know where to look as the erotic-style noises could clearly be heard echoing around the Hamburg arena.
    Presenters, including stunning Esther Sedlaczek, did their best to carry on through the disruption, with Uefa bigwig Giorgio Marchetti acknowledging: “We have some noises.”
    However, Rangers and Denmark icon Brian Laudrup struggled to keep a straight face on stage as the draw continued.
    While Germany team boss Julian Nagelsmann seemed to be trying to suppress a giggle when the camera panned to him.
    It soon emerged that the stunt was pulled off by infamous British prankster ‘Jarvo’.
    He previously hit the headlines in January last year when he played an identical prank on Gary Lineker on BBC1’s live coverage of Wolves vs Liverpool in the FA Cup.

    On that occasion he had hidden a mobile phone to a chair in the Beeb’s studio with the sound set as its ring-tone, and continually called it.
    It appears Saturday’s prank was the same.
    Reacting to the prank on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “These guys are so composed I’d be losing my s***.”
    A second said: “Jarvo is such a menace lmao.”
    A third said: “Wtf was that noise during Euro 2024 draw.”
    Another said: “Naah this man is unstoppable.”
    However, some fans were not happy with the antics and slammed “Jarvo” for the act.
    One fan said: “Grow up you imbecile.”
    Another said: “Ruining big occasions aint funny.”
    One simply wrote: “What a loser.”
    The draw itself saw England land a group against Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia.

    Is Neymar the ultimate player? Brazilian footballer had ‘sex contract’ with ex & secured club move with ‘orgy contract’

    NEYMAR Jr is considered among the world’s greatest footballers – but this week it was his antics off the pitch that hit the headlines. The Brazillian legend has split from the mother of his newborn baby, Bruna Biancardi, weeks after leaked messages allegedly showed him demanding nude photos from an OnlyFans star.

    The footballer, 31, whose now ex gave birth to daughter Mavie last month, denied any wrongdoing and claimed the saucy requests to adult entertainer Aline Faria were from “years ago”.
    Bruna, who first dated Al Hilal SFC forward Neymar in 2021, released an emotional statement yesterday confirming their split, stating: “This is a private matter.”
    But this is far from the first time Neymar’s chequered love life has been thrust into the spotlight.
    Here we take a look at how the striker could qualify as football’s ultimate player, on and off the pitch.

    ‘Valentine’s eve fling’
    Neymar was previously accused of cheating on Bruna in June 2022, with his alleged infidelity causing them to split.
    But by January this year they were back together again and announced Bruna’s pregnancy in April.
    But another alleged affair came to light when blogger Fernanda Campos claimed she’d slept with the footballer in June. 
    According to Grazia, she told the newspaper Metrópoles that she started talking to Neymar in November 2022 and they were together on the night before Brazilian Valentine’s Day, celebrated on June 12.

    Fernanda alleged he invited her to his Sao Paulo apartment and they spent 40 minutes together. 
    The following day she claimed to have discovered he was dating pregnant Bruna through his loved-up posts on social media. 
    Fernanda said: “It was ugly that he omitted that part.”
    Neymar has not addressed the claims, but in a cryptic Instagram post he made a public apology to Bruna, where he described having “made a mistake”.
    He wrote: “I already apologised for my mistakes, for unnecessary exposure, but I feel obligated to come publicly [sic] reaffirm that. If a private matter has become public, the apology has to be public.
    “I don’t know if we’ll work out, but TODAY you’re sure I want to try. Our purpose will prevail, our love for our baby will win, our love for each other will make us stronger.”
    ‘Sex contract’
    Bruna and Neymar reportedly had an ‘agreement’ about infidelitiesCredit: Instagram
    That same month it was reported there was a ‘sex contract’ between Neymar and Bruna that allowed infidelity.
    According to Em Off, it was claimed Neymar was “free to flirt and even have sex with other woman [sic]” but there were three conditions. 
    They included that he “must be discreet… wear a condom… and not kiss them on the mouth”.  
    In September, video footage showed Neymar partying with two different women in a Spanish nightclub and he was accused of cheating again. 
    At the time, Bruna wrote: “I’m aware of what happened and once again I am disappointed but in the final stage of my pregnancy, my focus and worries are directed to my daughter and that is all I will think about in the moment.”
    ‘Orgy deal’

    It’s not the only alleged ‘sex contract’ linked to Neymar.
    In 2014, sensational claims emerged about his £79million transfer from Santos FC to Barcelona. 
    The Brazilian club’s former president, Luis Álvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro, told ESPN that Neymar’s father and agent, Neymar Sr, green-lit the deal after controversial demands were met. 
    They allegedly included an orgy in a London hotel, described as “one of the most luxurious” and “where the Queen had tea”.
    Ribiero, who branded Neymar Sr a “lying money-grabber”, also claimed he demanded free coffees and “a private jet” to see Brazil play – as well as additional flight tickets in a contract clause.
    Furious Ribiero said: “The €90m included coffees for Neymar’s father, as well as an orgy in a hotel in Piccadilly, London, because Neymar’s father was looking to claim everything. 
    “He never once paid for a coffee. I paid for the 200 coffees he had with me. That included prostitutes and a plane to take him to Florianopolis to see the national team.” 
    He also added: “To give you an idea, in the last contracts he demanded a clause stating the club had to pay for first-class flight tickets for him and two business-class seats for his advisors to watch Neymar play away from home. It didn’t matter whether it was for the national team or in the domestic league.”
    There was no suggestion Neymar Jr was involved in the alleged contract activities.

    Before dating Bruna, Neymar enjoyed flings with a bevy of stunning models.
    Social media influencer Carolina Dantas, who shares a son with the star, is considered his first love. 
    They dated between 2010 and 2011 while he was a rising star at Santos FC but their romance only lasted a year. 
    Shortly after the split he moved on to Playboy cover model Barbara Evans, who later became famous in Brazil after appearing on several reality TV shows. 
    Their romance lasted just a month or two before they parted ways, and later, he was linked to another Playboy model, Patricia Jordane. 
    In 2013 she appeared to confirm their relationship on a magazine front cover titled: “The brunette that enchanted Neymar.”
    However, Neymar denied they were an item and took the publication to court for defamation and use of his name.
    ‘Golden couple’ romance

    Neymar and model Bruna Marquezine were considered a ‘golden couple’ in the Brazilian press but their relationship was plagued by turmoil. 
    The couple dated off and off between 2012 and 2017 after meeting at the Rio Carnival – but rumours of affairs caused tension.
    Social media star Laryssa Oliveira claimed she had a romantic liaison with the footballer in 2013, telling UOL Celebridades they “hooked up a couple of times” in 2010 but also while he was dating Bruna.
    She claimed the footballer flew her out for a three-day fling days before he split from Bruna.
    Neymar denied all of the claims and filed a lawsuit against Laryssa.
    Bruna also rejected claims that alleged infidelity ended their romance, insisting the relationship had simply run its course.

    During the gaps between Neymar’s on-off relationship with Bruna, he was linked to several other glamorous women. 
    Ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he was said to be dating model Gabriella Lenzi and the star shared photos of them both online. 
    They were last seen together in Ibiza after Neymar’s national team exited the competition after losing to Germany.
    Later that year he was pictured with yet another Playboy beauty, Soraja Vucelic, who he also met in Ibiza.
    The model had been named Playmate of the Year by the brand’s Serbian publication in 2011.
    During their fling, Soraja was reportedly flown by private jet to see him in Spain while Neymar played for Barcelona. 
    ‘Ken and Barbie of football’

    By 2015 the footballer had moved on to Jhenny Andrade, who worked as a UFC Octagon ring girl. 
    She captioned a photo of them together at a New Year’s Eve bash: “Barbie and Ken beautiful” – eventually they were branded the ‘Barbie and Ken of football’.
    The model and TV presenter was later seen at two of his football matches wearing a signed Neymar shirt and also at a dinner with pals.
    The romance appeared to fizzle out and Neymar was later linked to supermodel Caroline Caputo in 2017 – but the pair never confirmed they were in a relationship.
    Subtle dig

    He also dated model Natalia Barulich for a year until 2021. She met him at a lavish party to celebrate his birthday.
    During their time together she wrote a gushing post that read: “Everyone knows how extraordinarily talented you are. But if they could only see how real and beautiful you are inside you[r] heart. You have all my respect and honor babe [sic].”
    After the split, Natalia described having a “rollercoaster” year and later appeared to take a subtle dig at the then-PSG star.
    She claimed to know “exactly what I want and do not want for my life” which many interpreted as being targeted at her ex.

    His most recent split from Bruna Biancardi followed screenshots of X-rated messages between Neymar and adult star Aline being shared.
    In one message he reportedly wrote: “Are there nudes? Where? I want to see?” 
    Aline sent him a link and cheekily replied asking him: “Tell me what you thought afterwards, huh.”
    Other messages appeared to show her instructing Neymar on how to access the photos. 
    In one, she wrote: “You have to sign, baby. There are some other photos at the bottom. I’m going to sleep, take care, angel. Good night. I’ll teach you better later if you can’t [sign in].”
    Neymar allegedly signed off their exchange with a flame emoji. 
    The star, who has denied all wrongdoing, said on Instagram: “Show the date… that was years ago.”

    South Korea manager Jurgen Klinsmann added: “I fully understand the current situation and will respect the decision of the Korea Football Association.”

    She has one sibling — elder sister Sara Maria Berger, who’s 28 years old.
    Berger is dating racing ace Daniel Riccardo, whose nickname is The Honey Badger.
    Explaining the reason for his nickname to Red Bull in 2014, Daniel said: “It’s supposed to be the most fearless animal in the animal kingdom.

    ‘When you look at it, he seems quite cute and cuddly, but as soon as someone crosses his territory in a way he doesn’t like, he turns into a bit of a savage and he’ll go after anything — tigers, pythons.
    “He turns very quickly. But he’s a good guy.”
    Heidi is an actress and her first official role was in the Portuguese soap opera A Única Mulher as the character of Nônô, which she starred in during 2016 and 2017.
    After the show concluded, Berger put in a string of guest appearances on Trakehnerblut, Meiberger: Chasing Minds and Três Mulheres.

    Between the years of 2018 and 2020, Berger starred in mystery thriller Onde Está Elisa? as Elisa Menezes.
    She has since moved to New York to pursue an international acting career.
    When Ricciardo was asked if he was in love on the Fitzy & Wippa Podcast in 2022, he replied: “Yeah mate, I’m in love, I got a good thing going, so yeah. I’ve got a good balance in life right now.”
    “I think love eliminates stress, yeah absolutely.”
    The Australian was interviewed by podcaster Dax Shepard on The Armchair Expert podcast.
    Shepard was keen to find out whether it was still common practice for athletes to refrain from sex before events, to which Ricciardo answered: “I used to, but not any more.
    “I went against my rules obviously once and I was probably even better on Sunday so it’s all good. I threw that one out a few years ago.”
    The two regularly share their glamorous lifestyle on their Instagrams, which includes holidaying in some very exotic locations.
    What age is Heidi Berger?
    Heidi was born on April 4, 1997.
    She is currently 26 years old.
    Her boyfriend Daniel is 34.
    How did Daniel Ricciardo and Heidi Berger meet?
