Footballers wives

13 replies

In isolation awaiting PCR test and results. Decided to watch Footballers wives. Oh my days!,

I remembered it to be high fashion, really glamorous etc. It is actually really eye opening to watch... shit decor, the glamour looks naff, houses tiny, spouse abuse and I am only 30 mins in. It really hasn't aged well.

Anyone watched it recently or have memories of it? Or any other blast from the pasts that haven't aged well?

Not what you want to hear, but what service have you watched it on?! I’d like to see it again!! I remember thinking it was really glamorous!

Hope you’re not feeling too ill

StarryNightSparkles · 10/09/2021 22:05

Piggy42 it's on Brit box. I am enjoying it but it's weird as I thought it was fab back in the day and wanted to be the girls. it's hard to explain maybe it's hit me how times etc have changed.

I've just rewatched it (there's a thread in telly addicts about it).

I'm now watching Footballers Wives Extra Time which is like a home movie version Grin. I should have watched them alongside each other really.

Bad Girls is on Drama (?) I'm watching it on UKTV play app on the fire stick.

If you are double jabbed you don't need to isolate any more after a negative PCR

Pasta best, we are in Scotland and we were told we need to isolate until we have a negative pcr test.

I’m watching Bad Girls again and it’s still superb.

StarryNightSparkles · 10/09/2021 22:20

Where can you watch extra time?

Forgot about Bad girls, will need to watch that next.
Apologies can't tag 😭

I cant believe that this program was so popular.
Sexism
Discrimination
Racism
Mental health being disregarded as nothing. Poor Chardonnay set on fire and not allowed to deal with it.
Hazel the football manager who of course because she is a woman has to swear and be big and brash to get on in her field.
The list is endless not to mention the batshit storylines.

Extra time is on Brit Box as well.

My DH (6’5”, rugby guy,) used to love this programme! No idea why, he just thought it was hilarious,Grin

StarryNightSparkles · 11/09/2021 19:47

Thanks Ciao 😊

Bosco it like watching a sad comedy 😂

Add homophobia to my list.

Maybe they put all these tough issues in so we did talk about them and in turn barriers were broken. I don't remember it being like this. God, I have fallen deep into analysing footballers wives 😂

Hope my results arrive tomorrow 😂
