Eni Aluko appeared on the 90s Baby ShowProminent broadcaster Laura Woods has taken to social media to distance herself from the recent comments made by her long-standing colleague Eni Aluko, who criticised the selection of pundits in women's football. Last year, Aluko caused a stir when she targeted Ian Wright – a staunch supporter of the women's game – alleging that the Arsenal legend could be hindering opportunities for female pundits. Aluko is once again making headlines, this time for criticising the choice of pundits for last year's Euro 2025 women's final between England and Spain. "I think we need to gatekeep the women's game in a way that the men's game is gatekept. I've always been protective about women's football because I've done a lot, I've invested a lot, I was doing women's football when it didn't pay to do women's football.
