Jill Scott made a joke about Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge and these grown men’s fury made it so much funnier
To Sky’s comedy panel show A League of Their Own now, where the regular panellists include Lionesses legend Jill Scott.
Now, there was a time not long ago that women were few and far between on this sort of show, but thankfully that’s all changed now (and women presenters and pundits are now a common feature of men’s football too).
We mention it because this clip of Scott having a bit of a joke at the expense of former England star Daniel Sturridge and his failure to win the Premier League with Liverpool has just gone viral on Twitter.
Jill gives Sturridge some brutal advice on how he could have won the league with Liverpool!

It’s not so much about the joke – well, it is – but more about the fury it promoted among a certain type of fully grown man. And it made the whole thing so much funnier.

wtf would Jill know about winning the premier league

Roles reversed and Sturridge is the biggest misogynist walking the earth today, and cancelled across all of mainstream media.

As if you’d know about winning a PL anyway Jill. The mask slipped ages ago and I hope people are seeing her now for what she really is. Well done Sturridge for not even acknowledging it or having to ‘laugh it off’

That’s a low blow from Jill, really no need for that. Credit to Studge for staying calm. He could have hit back with the 22 goals he scored in the league that season plus the many assists.

Makes no sense considering he was one of their best players that season and wasn’t the reason they bottled it during the run-in?
