She was particularly unhappy after being snubbed by ITV for last summer’s European Championships final, with the 38-year-old venting her fury that Nedum Onuoha was chosen instead.

Aluko also suggested that Ian Wright’s refusal to accept her apology after last year’s controversy fuelled more abusive comments towards her.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan fumed at Aluko.

“I think we live in a society where people don’t have the experience and substance, don’t know what they’re talking about [and are] masquerading as experts,” he said.

“With all due respect to women in men’s football, I think they have zero expertise in men’s football.

✅ Eni: “The reality is I have been good enough for 11 years!”

😤 Simon: “The sheer weight of entitlement that you seem to believe you have would re-sink the Titanic!”

“I think they can talk about tactics but the two games are vastly different – the speed, the scale, the pressure, the physicality. They are vastly different games.”

With things getting heated, the ex-Palace owner also suggested that Aluko had benefitted from diversity policies.

“The language that you use is, to me, it’s steeped in a sense of entitlement,” he continued.

“The sheer weight of the entitlement you seem to believe you have would sink the weight of the Titanic. I think you have been quite fortuitous.

“I think because of initiatives like DEI, they’ve allowed people to be put into positions in the men’s game that I don’t think they have merited.

“I listened to your observations about Ian Wright, and I’ve known Ian for 25 years – Ian is not in any shape or form obligated to provide any support structure for you, or give you a sense of entitlement.”

And football fans on X relished the exchange, with many backing Jordan’s view.

“I’m not Simon Jordan’s biggest fan but this is absolutely amazing from him – totally dismantled her,” were the words of one user.

A second added: “No shouting. No insults. Just logic doing damage. Beautiful to watch!”

Another wrote: “Aluko doesn’t realise that her fellow broadcasters think exactly the same as the X users she arrogantly dismisses as uninformed.”

A fourth stated: “She lives in her own world. She doesn’t even get it yet that she’s being delusional.”

And a fifth wrote: “Simon Jordan is spot on in his assessment.”

Aluko, meanwhile, stuck to her guns by suggesting she feels she’s a top pundit and ‘good enough’ to perform the role.

“I listen to the professional, the people who have hired me for the last 11 years, the biggest broadcasters in the world,” she said. “By default, if I’m working with the people who are considered brilliant broadcasters. If I’m next to them, then by default I’m considered also a brilliant broadcaster.

“I appreciate what you’re saying, but in reality, I’ve been good enough for 11 years. And as I said, I’m the person to go and seek out feedback, for someone to go: ‘I think you’re struggling’…it’s never happened.”
