WAGs - Love Them or Hate Them

Mrs Roy Keane · 13-02-2008 05:26PM #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

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.”

Are you banned from the soccer forum or something?

biko · 13-02-2008 05:31PM

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

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 13-02-2008 05:34PM

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

Rb · 13-02-2008 05:34PM

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 05:35PM

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 05:41PM

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

Niamho! · 13-02-2008 05:42PM

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 05:47PM

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 05:48PM

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 05:48PM

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

LouOB · 13-02-2008 05:52PM

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

Degsy · 13-02-2008 06:07PM

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 06:07PM

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 06:34PM

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

togster · 13-02-2008 06:37PM

jesus jebuz take a deep breath.

FunkZ · 13-02-2008 06:44PM

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

Ruu_Old · 13-02-2008 06:45PM

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

csk · 13-02-2008 06:50PM

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 08:34PM

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