Former Lionesses forward Eni Aluko has restarted a debate surrounding the presence of male pundits in women's football. She recently expressed frustration that she and Fara Williams were overlooked for coverage of the 2025 Women's Euros Final in favour of male pundits, including Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha. Eni joined Jim and Simon in studio, as they discussed, amongst much more, whether males should be used as pundits in the women's game? Plus, is there a perceived idea of how a manager should look and sound after Liam Rosenior spoke about the comparisons he receives to David Brent and Will from The Inbetweeners, and are Spurs or Newcastle the greatest 'big six' pretenders?
