WAGs - Love Them or Hate Them

Mrs Roy Keane · 13-02-2008 4:26pm #1

I hate them. I can't believe alot of young girls aspire to be WAGs nowadays.

You can now be famous for shopping and for marrying/shagging/dating a football player.

I agree with Cheryl's comments below

http://fametastic.co.uk/archive/20061217/3773/cheryl-cole-wags-are-a-bad-role-model-for-girls-theyre-just-scroungers/

Despite being married to Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole, Cheryl Cole doesn’t like the idea that her fellow WAGs are role models for young girls.

She said recently: “They make it look really glamorous. You can go out and sit on your a*** and have all the jewels you want.”

“It’s a joke. These women have nannies, they don’t cook a meal for their husbands, they don’t clean, they have all the handbags they want but never do a day’s work.”

“What kind of aspiration is that? Footballers’ wives are just as bad as benefit scroungers, it’s just a higher class of scrounger.”

Degsy · 13-02-2008 4:30pm

Are you banned from the soccer forum or something?

biko · 13-02-2008 4:31pm

Never paid much attention to that stuff tbh. Will look into it and get back to you.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 13-02-2008 4:34pm

You hate them, with a name like Mrs. Roy Keane...?

Rb · 13-02-2008 4:34pm

Girls who aspire to be a footballers wife are absolutely pathetic imo, and deserve to get used and abused the way some of them do.

Dudess · 13-02-2008 4:35pm

I would say that's a load of hypocritical arse from Mrs Cole (soon to be Miss Tweedy again).

Wait a sec OP! Don't YOU aspire to be married to a certain footballer...?

That's exactly why young girls aspire to be one, tbh you sound a little jealous.

monkeyfudge · 13-02-2008 4:41pm

I always thought a wag was someone who sat at the bar telling bad jokes.

Niamho! · 13-02-2008 4:42pm

yeah you have to wonder alright. Take Peter Crouch and his Missus. she's a stunner and she's not wit him for his looks. Couldnt be! :eek:

The Queen · 13-02-2008 4:47pm

I know a girl who has "IM A WAG IN TRAININ N A STAR IN D MAKIN!!" on her bebo.

Ugh.

I saw that WAG workout dvd in HMV and just thought - what a load of bollix. I can see why girls would idolise them: fancy clothes, jewelery, big houses, nice cars! To be honest, I'd love all that! But I think I'd just feel like I didn't deserve any of it, unless I earned the money for them myself.

5starpool · 13-02-2008 4:48pm

It is a stupid term anyhow, and should be elongated to state that they are specifically footballers (or cricketers or rugby players etc etc) wives and girlfriends, or else the acronym describes about 35%+ of the population.

im_invisible · 13-02-2008 4:48pm

wives and girlfriends? love them all, but dont let them find out about eachother, things get really messy then....

LouOB · 13-02-2008 4:52pm

here here for Cheryl
I dont respect any person who has not done a days work in their life

Degsy · 13-02-2008 5:07pm

I suppose it all boils down to 1)football is crap 2)footballers are crap 3)footballers wives are crap 4)people who talk about football are crap(and never have anything else to talk about).

lizann · 13-02-2008 5:07pm

I hate them

BTW Coleen McLoughlin and Alex Curran have perfumes out now. Why?????

Everyone and their dog has a perfume out now so it's not really a big deal.

Besides, Coleen McLoughlin has made a massive business out of herself, rather than just sitting there and scrounging off Wayne Rooney. Sure enough his name is what got her there (and her desperation of staying with a boyfriend who was caught doing S&M with very old hookers).

Don't you start again on football, you p!ssed half of boards off last time you went on about how much you hate it, in and around half anyway.

Just let the people who like football enjoy it and talk about it if they please, and maybe you should just stop being so bitter about it, talk about the things you like...e.g your favorite brand of butter or how come there hasn't been a boy born that can swim faster than a shark..etc.

bronte · 13-02-2008 5:34pm

It is kinda scary that young girls really want to be wags when they grow up. :mad:

Ah fceking hell I hate this thread already. And I hate them.

Ruu_Old · 13-02-2008 5:45pm

I hate the word WAG and agree with Roy Keane. Burn them, BURRRRRRNNN THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

csk · 13-02-2008 5:50pm

What's to love or hate? They don't, for the most part, do anything. Just ignore them and they'll go anyway...eventually.:rolleyes:

Agreed. Especially number 4.
I really don't care who scored the winning goal in the 1949 cup final.

Slow Coach has a good point though. Soccer it is.

Bunch of over paid prima-donnas.

I guess the question is who buys these things purely because someone has their name on it. Ridiculous.

It's the same as buying any perfume really. They all have names on the bottle.

From respected perfumists i presume who consistently come up with great fragrances. Then Colleen or whatever comes along says this is my perfume and people buy it because that well known person has something to do with it.

Thefirestarter · 13-02-2008 7:34pm

There either,
1) Failed Hairdressers
2) Failed Beauticans
3) Sluts who love money

Is it any classier?

Sure, most if them are pretty but there's more class in being a full-time stoner imho (especially if said stoner models himself on el duderino).

Pepe LeFrits · 13-02-2008 7:52pm

I doubt even their husbands love them.

I didn't say you were, dude. Do you think I'm the only one who buys it cos of the smell? The perfume may come to people's attention cos it's got a "star" name but people will only buy it if they like the smell. Seriously dude .

cock robin · 13-02-2008 8:36pm

Ah! leave the WAG's alone. They dont mean any harm.They fill the pages of the glossies. It's mainly women who buy that sort of tripe anyway. Let's just watch the footie and leave the WAG's to our wives and girlfreinds. They dont bother me cause i dont read about them. As for degsy Im just curious to know what sport he enjoys.

Trojan911 · 13-02-2008 10:53pm

WAG's, hmmm, WAG's suggest to me that a footballer has a Wife And Girlfriend's (and they wouldn't do that now, would they?)... Why not refer to them as Wives Or Girlfriend's?... Oh, maybe not then.....

Anyway they are a bunch of idiots, imo, who need to be put over my knee and have their bottoms smacked for being idiots and thinking they are special.... *u*** o* ****i** **a**.

Not really. Your get MADE famous because you married some dude who happens to be a footballer. And because your just a normal person you either have a job or do what most of us would do if our partner was really rich. Spend the cash and hang out.

Not really their fault the public is hung up on the lives of famous people's other halves. Sure, some of them love it, but some of them hate it.

Well, I presume that Colleen herself doesn't actually make the perfume? To me, it would smell the same as any other perfume on the market. The latest 'designer perfume' (I have no idea what to call them, but you know what i mean) is bought for the same reasons as someone would buy Colleen's one; the name on the bottle/ associating yourself with the brand name.

No one asked you the merits of football or footballers. The thread is about wives and girlfriends not how much you hate football.

Eire 4Ever · 14-02-2008 11:45am

I hate WAGS

I feel sorry for the ordinary decent WAGS who live normal everyday lives as housewives/job workers who don't feed on the fact they are married to minted Soccer players

She really is desperate to stay with him after that

Degsy hates everything expressive - don't worry about it. Come to think if it, I think he just hates eerything.
