AIBU to have a massive crush on Gareth Southgate? I could rip that waistcoat right off him!

Scribble, when we get the medical reps at work, they are all suited and booted. They look great, really nicely turned out and professional.

Myname I've had a crush on Gary Neville since I was 13. I'm now 35. People took the piss but now I see Gary getting some fangirl love.

EveningHare · 04/07/2018 09:55

nope, dont see it at all....

The80sweregreat · 04/07/2018 09:56

The better looking footballers are so stuck up and dont have to try too hard - unless they are Wayne Rooney who got by on his ego.

Most of them are divas, but this crowd don't seem as bad, unless they are all hiding it well!

YANBU Smile
He looks so kind & capable, a combination of Sooty & Sweep meets James Bond! Grin

longwayoff · 04/07/2018 09:58

You've got a point. Even I've noticed him and his calm controlled manner. Usually cant get away fast enough from any shouty testosterone fuelled footbal types.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 04/07/2018 09:58

Yes I know I'm strange!

divadee · 04/07/2018 09:58

He has slightly improved with age but not in a fine wine or a Gary Barlow way.

x2boys · 04/07/2018 09:59

Gary Linekar has also improved dramatically with age imo the beard and grey hair really suit him .

SinisterBumFacedCat · 04/07/2018 10:02

I like him in his waistcoats

firehousedog · 04/07/2018 10:03

Not my type personally but he seems a nice guy plus he dresses smart in a suit. I can see why some may find him attractive.

Lana1234 · 04/07/2018 10:06

Yanbu! The further we get the more attractive he gets as well 😁

RayneDance · 04/07/2018 10:07

There's another thread on this. Hilarious photo on it. I think its more of his taller elegant stature.

Bacciferous · 04/07/2018 10:09

Yanbu, I'm a lesbian and I've got a crush on him!

Thirtyrock39 · 04/07/2018 10:14

There's an England assistant coach with curtains that's pretty hot as well...It must be a sign of getting old fancying the coaches and not the players!!

The80sweregreat · 04/07/2018 10:28

He is slim, i do like a slender man ( all the men i know tend to carry a bit more timber)
have to look out for the coach on saturday!

Mrsharrison · 04/07/2018 10:30

X2boys I agree about linneker!

UrgentScurryfunge · 04/07/2018 10:36

I'm no football fan but can dust my self off at times of national glory such as Euro '96 and now. I've watched more football in the last week than I have in the last 20 years Blush

Gareth Southgate seems like a nice, intelligent chap. I remember cringing at his missed penalty years ago and feeling sorry for him, and I'm so pleased that he's been able to lead England team through their greatest success in many years and especially through the penalties last night.

I love a waistcoat. Very distinguished Wink

JacquesHammer · 04/07/2018 10:36

He just seems a really nice chap. He's my favourite England coach for a long while.

I do get a little flustered at Kieran Tripper's tattooed forearms though

JacquesHammer · 04/07/2018 10:36

*Trippier, come ON autocorrect

RainbowsAndSmiles · 04/07/2018 10:38

Harry Kane just seems so young he was born in 1993

Shock

Shut. UP.

Fintress · 04/07/2018 10:39

Oh hell no, YANBU I've got a crush on him, he just seems so nice!

HostaToFortune · 04/07/2018 10:44

Two things:

@Scribblegirl there is a barrel chested guy at work who persists in a three piece. It’s not a good look. Otherwise I take your point.

I am emphatically not a beard fan. Is it that there are so many beards around now that I am beginning to see attractive men with beards or are they (cf Gareth’s Southgate) just the rare examples that look good with a beard? DH looks like his dad with a beard Confused

Oogle · 04/07/2018 10:52

YANBU. He was not an attractive bloke 20 years ago but now? Well now I totally would. He's calm, nice and there's just something about him, but I'm not quite sure what it is!

Mind you, I had a huge crush on Darren Anderton back in 96/98 so I'm not sure what that says about my taste Grin

Jorah · 04/07/2018 10:54

Trippier is deffo my fave Blush

cricketmum84 · 04/07/2018 10:56

I definitely think it's the power thing! That and I've always loved a man in a waistcoat Blush

His little smile when he was congratulating all the players gave me a little fanny tingle Grin
