I can't help but like him. His interviews are usually more fun than most.

The guys quality. It's great having him in the Prem. He is easy pickings for the reporters, because they know he's a shoot from the hip and very passionate guy. He'll always give them something.

But it's clear he loves the game, and doesn't like the smell of his own farts like some managers (Wenger). It's always abundantly clear how much Ollie loves football and the better aspects of the game in particular. He puts his all into his work too.

Class act. Hope he's in the Prem for many years to come.

He makes some good points about the game being run by idiots, and he had a right go at Rooney so he is alright in my book!

He's a bit of an oddball and I hope when the inevitable backlash starts the same media types who are currently pissing in his pocket will go easy on him.

Doubt it though.

Seems to confuse himself at times so I personally don't see merit in the Cloughie comparisons. Decent bloke but might need to familiarise himself with the concept of less is more when it comes to the media. Or just talk about his own club.

Decent bloke, but has become the go-to man for an off-the-cuff rent-a-quote if the media need one.

Fair play to you for admitting you like cock.
