Either way this place has a definite negative effect on my general wellbeing so it’s probably better that I just use the other forums where I don’t get any kind of grief whatsoever
Nah, just steer clear of Serious Debates, and when you do pop in just take it all with a pinch of salt. You'll soon realise it's the same people, having the same rows, and saying the same old things every single day. Don't worry about it.

As for the women in men's football, yeah they have been rushed in, and yes those names you mentioned in the deleted thread are awful and talk utter crap. They are just really BAD, same as Lee Dixon, Johnathan Pearce, Owen, McManaman etc. I think maybe you let it get to you too much, but you're not wrong. I guarantee you've watched more football this week alone, than say QB and Glenn have watched in a lifetime, so just ignore them.

Eni Aluko (who was) "better than the white boys coming up in the game" and gives expert analysis like - "Richarlison is Brazil's main man, he's scored 19 goals in 40 games, you do the math on that, it's one goal a game pretty much" Sat next to actual legends of the game, Roy Keane and Graeme Souness.

You're allowed to call out how crap any pundit is, man or woman, it's all part of the game. We've been critical of pundits and commentators ever since football became televised. Christ, can't remember his name, but around 20 years ago some commentator was pronouncing David Villa as "David Veesha" it was pathetic and rightly called out. Or when i watch MOTD and Pearce would commentate on the games with hindsight of the result and how the game plays out. 30 seconds before something would happen, he would "predict" it, knowing full well that's what happens, irritating af. And don't even get me started on Garth Crooks!!

tl;dr - Massively under qualified women have been rushed in, and for the most part talk utter crap. However, singling out women for talking crap in football is silly, when there have been, and are currently tons of men who talk pure sh!te too.
