It was the WAGS (wives and girlfriends) wot lost England the World Cup – oddly enough, didn’t see one of them on the field.
McLaren, who succeeds Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager, feels that the WAGs’ conspicuous high spending in designer stores and raucous partying in the bars of Baden-Baden, England’s World Cup base, did not help the teams’ performance in the World Cup. England went out on penalties to Portugal in the quarter-final.
And it is not mother who knows best, but a “top fertility doctor” (unsurprisingly male), who says that women over a certain (unspecified) age should not be given fertility treatment: “Abdalla believes the practice should be halted because elderly mothers may not live long enough to see their children grow up.”
So presumably he also believes in compulsory vasectomies for males over the same age (in fact a few years younger, no doubt, since men on average die younger than women)?
