Girls can do football
By Bottleblondesurfer
25 March 2007
I know this is a re-posting and I apologise for it but I had to post a reposte to Coosh's scurrilous attack on women and their attitude to football, of course we can do it, we just do our way.
I will remove this after awhile.


The Wives And Girlfiends have decamped to Spain in their quest for world domination
The  three football pundits are doing the commentary.
 
Gary Linnekear- cheeky grin, hopelessly unfunny
Terry Venebles- open neck shirt, deadly serious
That Scots bloke- action-man hair, unintelligible clichés
 
GARY- Well it seems that Nancy Dell’Olio has made few changes from the team that successfully cleaned out the Principles store and earned the WAGS a place in the semi-finals.
 
TERRY-  And, as you’d expect she’s playing Posh and Colleen up front with their spending power and Michael Owen has given Louise Bonscell a platinum card so she’ll take a floating position with them.
 
GARY- All the  new changes are in mid field, with Cherly Tweedy, Emma Hadfield and Carly Zucker coming on.
 
SCOTS- Och aye, At the end of the day. It’s  a game of two halves
 
TERRY- How true and…. No, wait- the doors are opening and in they go. This one is going to take some stamina, It’s the first time they have taken on a department store and they’ll have to pace themselves.
 
GARY- Yes they’re taking on the biggest  store in Spain and those Spanish customers are going to be after the same bargains.
 
TERRY-  It’s Accessories first. This has caused problems in the past. They can get distracted by all the bright colours and shiny beads
 
GARY- Posh is away, as always. She’s spotted a Versace thong, there’s only one and the Spanish are after it, too. Emma as taken possession but she can’t get past.
 
TERRY- O0oooh look at that! She flipped it to Carly. Carly to Posh and and back to Emma who lobs it to Colleen and she drops it neatly in the basket. What a result.
 
GARY- Yes that Spanish girl thought she had that one safe but it’ll be Colleen who’ll be flossing her bum with it to-night!
 
SCOTS- Och aye, At the end of the day it’s a bum of two halves
 
TERRY- That should have Wayne swelling with pride I think, Gary.
 
GARY- Yes and not just with pride, I fancy…heh heh
 
TERRY-They’ve started another attack And …Oh no What a mistake. Louise has gone for the Sarongs. The others wont like that.
 
GARY- No you don’t expect that from her. I mean they’re so last season. No-one is wearing them now. What was she thinking!
 
TERRY- Nancy is furious..Oh she’s making a substitution. She’s off and Alex Curran is coming on now. I don’t blame Nancy. A Sarong for heavens sake
 
Gary- Well, Sarong and yet it seemed so right. eh Terry
 
TERRY- I was hoping you wouldn’t say that.
 
SCOTS –At the end of the day…..
 
GARY-Must stop you there. The Wags are now under pressure. They’re going after Pashminas; it’s looking good ….and Posh is off side. She’s definitely offside.
 
TERRY- She’s wandered into the children’s section. Now she’s done this before, hasn’t she, Gary.
 
GARY- Yes on more than one occasion, but to be fair to the girl it’s the only way she can find anything to fit her.
 
TERRY – Oh dirty play from the locals They’re blocking the way to the shoes. But the girls were ready . They’ve veered off to Separates and then back to Shoes by the escalator. That pre-match training has paid off, here.
 
GARY- This has left them a clear field in Separates  and they’re stripping the racks. Little Emma is piling on the pressure. She’s grabbed 3 Donna Karen Jackets and races to the checkout.
 
TERRY- But what’s this? The assistant is holding up a red card. It’s her Virgin credit card and yes she’s cutting it in half. Emma’s maxed it out. She wasn’t paying attention. So easily done.
 
SCOTS- Och aye At the end of the day it’s a card of two halves
 
GARY- Ooooh! this is just awful. She’ll have to miss shoes and lingerie and I doubt if her credit rating will improve in time for the Aquascutum Shop in Milan. And she’s walking off now. Unbelievable, eh Terry?
 
TERRY- Why she kept using that one I’ll never know.
 
GARY-  I think Peter Crouch likes to collect the air-miles. Like he needs them!
 
TERRY- Play is continuing. Posh has picked an Armani suit but it’s an 8 so it’s far too big. She handed it to Elen Rives who..but she’s been intercepted. That Spanish woman is taking it to check out
 
GARY- Alex has postioned herself by the checkout and the woman has handed it to her,,well that was brilliant. She must have thought Alex was working there.
 
TERRY- Well, all those gruelling hours on the sun- bed paid off, You have to admire the girl’s dedication and determination
 
GARY- Yes she wanted that suit and she got it
 
SCOTS-  Well at the end of the day it’s a suit of two halves.
 
GARY – And it’s half time, with gin slings all round and well deserved.
 
TERRY- Well things are really looking up
 
GARY – Definitely. We can’t hack it in the football but when it come to mindless hedonistic consumerism we can still show the world a thing or two
 
SCOTS- Och-ay

loved it BBS - coosh had it coming, if you'll pardon the expression. 
 
Loved the "Wives and Girlfiends", it's a typo with attitude, just like they are! 
 
PS I rather fancy the Scots bloke, but can't think why.

I laughed myself silly over this. Bravo, Jane! Absolutely wonderful.

Thanks, for pointing that typo out. I was going to correct it but I think I'll leave it,a freudian slip, perhaps?

Yes, leave it -- it's an inspired slip. I love WAGs, too -- great acronym.

Last visit for a few weeks, as I'm uprooting on Thursday, and having a nice rest before heading to the Mid-East. 
 
Jolly good fun dear, well done. It is very PC to call them the Wives And Girlfriends though, surely the Wives Or Girlfriends would have been used, had they surfaced 30 years ago? 
 
Good, harmless fun. 
 
Cheers

Exhausting! This clearly requires a much higher level of fitness than playing football. I suspected you wouldn't let it lie. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.... but please, don't get too sidetracked away from writing your "proper" stuff. Cheers.

Very good. loved the idea of Peter Crouch collecting air miles...well I laughed all the way through tbh. Best way to beat a stereotype, with a bigger one.

I remember it from before, but enjoyed reading it again.

Yes, good fun. Enjoyed the Scots bloke's cliches.

But why do footballers, ex or otherwise talk complete crap? Never heard a WAG speak - they're probably as bad. Even the old duffers they hire for TV have no grammar. 
 
Enjoyed. 
 
Phil.

Truly excellent!

Heheh. Now wouldn't that be a fun new sport to watch? Maybe they should link the security cameras of the larger department stores directly to the television network. 
I'm afraid though that at least in the European league it will mainly be a match between Italy and France...

Loved Scot's bits, especially;
