Just pondering on the fact that I'm old enough to have given birth to the England squad

[BooGhoosty]

FFS, I'm sitting saying what a gorgeous lad Bukayo Saka is... and I'm well beyond old enough to be his mum. Fucking 2001 he was born?!

Am I old enough to be all their mums now? Is that where I am in life? When did I get old?

(On considering this further I had posters of Keane and Cantona so, I'm old)

😭

Oh God, Dd was born in 2001.
I don't like football though so I can still be young

It's terrifying isn't it?! How were the England squad born in 2001?

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up and I was born in 1984!

I know! Trent is just a little younger than my eldest!

When did that happen?

I feel even older now Roy Keane with his big grey beard is being interviewed in the post game.

Wtf.

Covid has already sent me full mid life crisis, I've bought dungarees! I can't be old with Lucy and Yak dungarees surely?

Cantona is looking excellent btw. Still would.

When was the oldest one born. Dd was born in 2004 and I was born in 71 so definitely old enough

Oh I adored Cantona.

I also had the horn inexplicably for Southgate in the World Cup Waistcoat phase but that was weird because I wouldn't look twice in Tesco

I am old enough to be their blooming Nan!

I’ll just leave this guy here ......

😁😁😁

I was born in 1984!

Blimey, OP, you're but a youngster. I'm 20 years older than you, which means I'm old enough to be your mum.

And that quite scarily must mean I could be the England player's grandma. Eek!

Oh god so am I. How did that happen?

I had this realisation earlier, when DP read out all their names to see how many I knew (4!) and I thought they sounded like the schoolkid names. And I wouldn't have been shockingly young either, in 2001 I was 20!

Giving birth to a whole football squad would be impressive though

Ha ha Lucy and Yak dungarees are the epitome of mumsy chic

I can't believe anyone could be so low as to created such a disgusting thread.

You should be ashamed. Ashamed I tell you.

I shall report forthwith!!!

I have a dc your age OP!

David Ginola. Yum

OP do you live in Manchester? You should have included Phil Foden in your thoughts, surely?

Ha ha, funny thought. Me too Id say. Better sit down while I process that.

Oh my god I read this post assuming you must be much older than me - we are the same age 😭

Thanks a lot for ruining my day OP 😡

I read this thinking you'd be much older than me too and you're younger than me. I'm not ready to be a hypothetical mother of a football team 😫

I've definitely reached the age where all of the pundits on sky and match of the day (ie the 'old boys' who waffle on about it not being like this in their day) are people I remember playing.

Oh dear god. I am older than you op. I am sorry I read this thread now……

Oh dear god. I am older than you op. I am sorry I read this thread now……

Me too! I have a sinking feeling that I could have given birth over x years, to a complete squad 🤦🏻
