AIBU to have a massive crush on Gareth Southgate?

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

The thing I like about this England squad is they can string a sentence together.

I’m not sure how I feel about that comment. I don’t like the inferences surrounding intelligence and football.

Totally with you on this. He has so improved with age.(he's the same age range as me but def didn't look this good back then)

My DH has a 'resemblance' to GS he doesn't see it but the rest of us do. He doesn't however own a waistcoat I think this may be a good thing considering.

PS I prefer my DH to Gareth however I wouldn't be averse to a bit of GS if i were single obviously !!!

YADNBU.
Also, my dad knows him slightly and he is a really nice guy.

Oogle me too I was obsessed with Darren Anderton !!!! What ever happened to him I wonder ? They should bring him in as a pundit for us 40 something women to drool over !!

@RainbowsAndSmiles yes I know 1993 some of the squad are even younger Trent Alexander-Arnold was born in 1998,

It’s the waistcoat,
No question about it.

And maybe the slightly paternal hug he gives to every player that comes off the pitch

Jeez, I've got 10 years on Harry Kane. That's fucking depressing.

And Trent Alexander-Arnold. I couldve given birth to him.

That waistcoat has a secret....

PS it’s a photoshop but a good one!

That nose, oh god no.

He seems sweet enough.
Until the press start running him down and trying to find the dirt. I hope they leave him alone.

It'll be Sir Gareth if he wins us this

And yes, I think I do have a 'bit of a crush'

this thread has distressed me a bit as I’ve just realised that I’m old enough to be the mother of some of the England squad. I remember watching previous world cups when I was the same age as the England squad.

Waves at Oogle and Thirtyrock* * I was a huge Darren fan too! who knew there were that many of us? Am off to Google him now.....

YANBU, he is hot

I'm trying to convince dh to buy a waistcoat

Not a fan of beards on men, but I remarked to dh last night that GS's really suits him. He's definitely improved with age, and I find him interesting to listen to in interviews. A very calming influence on the team and a nice guy too by all accounts.

Be careful of my buttons!

Eric Dier looks like he could deal with a Damsel in distress, but I've had the hots fot Christian Ericsson (Denmark and Spurs) for a long time now, and Hugo Lloris (French goalie) is not at all bad either!

Be still my beating heart I'm definitely old enough to be their Mother!!

Peter Schmeichel all the way.

But even my husband was commenting last night on how well Southgate has aged!
