12 months ago, Eni Aluko questioned Arsenal legend Ian Wright, saying his presence as a pundit in women’s football was blocking the path for other females to work in the sport.
Aluko quickly said sorry on social media, an apology that the Gunner made clear he couldn’t accept.
Almost to confirm he made the right decision, the former striker was name-dropped for being part of BBC and ITV coverage of the Euro 2025 Final , the two channels between them hired 6 ex-players to analyse, 4 female and 2 male. ‘Why?’ asks Miss Aluko.
Her stance is she’s got 102 caps, so how dare she not be hired!
She is so self-involved it’s scary.
When clarifying her comments on Talk Sport, she said a compromise could be that Ian Wright has 10 mins as a pitch-side reporter, but the rest of the station’s build-up should be an all-female panel.
Don’t put it past her; being an intelligent individual, she realises this is her best way to stay relevant. Work has dried up for her, so she sees a gap in the market.
Yet here is the reality of why she watched last year’s Euros final as a fan only. A broadcaster’s priority is to make as much money as possible. So for England vs. Spain, the priority was to fly over to Switzerland talent who will entertain and entice new viewers.
Eni Aluko didn’t get that call not because of the colour of her skin or her sex. Her England appearances have nothing to do with the topic because I can name you some of the greatest to ever grace a football pitch who are dull to watch/listen to on TV/radio Yet some men and women with modest careers are more credible.
Here’s the reality, and Eni Aluko knows this to be true…you’re terrible at your job, one of the worst to ever be allowed to speak about the sport with a live microphone.
The only way she appears on prime-time TV ever again is on I’m A Celebrity or Big Brother.

I agree wholeheartedly but I say this next bit not as a criticism but as feedback.
The media needs to stop reporting on this topic otherwise she remains high profile. We all know her opinion now so theres no need to keep repeating it for her.
Everyone is entitled to make a mistake , and yet the most valuable thing one can make is indeed is a mistake , you really don’t learn anything from being perfect.
Surely it was a mistake to take a swiped at the Arsenal legend, it would appears she learned tremendously
@Gunsmoke
Mistakes, are unintentional actions. Her actions were intentional.
Aluko, is a scary person who has a massive chip on each shoulder. I personally would never employ her, she is trouble with a capital T. She isn’t even a good presenter or pundit. And speaks absolute garbage and has no perspective on anything. She is totally obsessed with creating trouble. But the trouble is, she isn’t very clever and has hardly ANY support in what she says. WIDE BERTH!!!!!!
Why is this even a story? As controversial as it is, it’s nothing to take seriously. I see it as some clout chasing take.
worked on you lol.
Testing.
Testing. I don’t know what’s going on, but whenever I try to post my comments regarding Eluko, it’s not going through. Yet when I send a test it does. Go figure. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Women had been overlooked over the years. That is changing and there are far better women in broadcasting than Aluko.
Once again this morning I’ve tried to write a piece on Emi Aluko, this is the fourth time I’ve done it, and every time I try to send it, the post jumps back to the headline.
Yet when I send a test post on the same article, it goes’ through.
Can anyone at JA, enlighten me on what’s going on. I’m confused, Help!.🤦♂️
Once again I’ve tried two more times to write a post on here regarding Emi Aluko. And still it won’t go through.
I don’t understand it JA, can you help.
But this post will. I’m still confused. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
She comes across as very entitled.
very
