Hope ive put this in the right place.

Right, according to this bbc report, the British fans are obsessed with them, Really? So HOLer's what about you? Are you obsessed with Victoria Beckham, Colleen Rooney, etc etc?

Makes a change from the doom n gloom on the N&P thread

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Nope, don't care couldn't pick most of em out of a line up.

That said somebody must be interested otherwise the media wouldn't keep banging on about it. Same as the Royal Family everyday there is a story no idea who reads that stuff but someone must do.

I think they make most people want to throw up rather than be obsessed by them. In fact my mrs said to me last night, shall we start watching the beckham documentary, I said I’d sooner watch our cats sleeping for a couple of hours, it would be more interesting than Posh Spice

It was riveting, one of the cats even yawned at one stage

I have often wondered why when watching the tennis at Wimbledon on the TV the camera cuts away to the player's significant other after he/she has played a winning shot.

Surely people watch the tennis for the tennis and not to gawp at his grip (Geordie word as we're playing them today)

You've named two 'Ws' whose husbands have been footballers for ages. I could name two others in the same category - Abbi Clancy (check spelling) and Frankie Bridge - but other than Mrs Vardy, Icouldn't name a single 'W' or 'G' of any current footballer anywhere in the world, so I wonder who you meant by "etc etc" in your OP.

In summary: I'm not in the slightest bit obsessed but I wouldn't mind a threesome with the first two I mentioned!

An incidental point; I wonder which has more WAGs - the England men's football team or the England women's. A close call. Or perhaps some of the women's team are single.

I think its more a case of the meeedjia who want to make out that there is an obsession because its harder to make a story out of it if they have to acknowledge that no one actually cares.

Like when we were all supposedly fascinated by supermodels.

Rooney got caught doing a Granny-hooker. And Coleen married him anyway.

He was a high profile millionaire so what's not to like

the existence of football-WAGs is proof that the laws of Darwin's Evolution are alive and well in the human World.

consider a world champion in Tiddly-winks, draughts, Netball or Rounders. A sport without the money Payola. Do these talented clever, and often athletic champions have a plethora of beautiful women chasing after them ? do they feck.

seemingly the competition among young ladies, to bag a Premier league player, is fierce. Its like an episode of i, Claudius. All calm & friendly on the surface, and daggers hidden in the folds of the skirt.

and if an ex Palace player ends up with 8 kids by 4 different women.....well then, that's just the Laws of Darwin again. If any footballer had a twin brother who washed the dishes at say, The Queens Hotel, these men would be invisible to women.

Once again, you would wonder how the generations of men, who gave their lives in two World Wars would feel about all of this ? They paid the ultimate sacrifice and yet Britain trundled on afterwards without them. In the Serengeti , the male lions that die in a fight, are instantly forgotten by the females. Those females move on with the winners......a bit like WAG's disinterest in a promising up & coming Academy player (17). He who was destined for the Champions League but got permanently retired after a bad tackle. You can easily imagine his girlfriend using her contacts among the squad to find his replacement.

you may judge these women. But they are only following their wiring. A bit like footballers seeking many conquests of youthful beauty ....its in their wiring. Many end up with a tall blonde Barbie lookalike - with the personality of a Chav from Love Island. And a different girl every week.
This is one reason we must respect Mo Salah - stayed with his childhood sweetheart and didn't get tempted to behave like Rooney/John Terry.
