I have a nephew who lives in Newton Abbot.  I’ve just messaged him and requested data on the % increase of ‘Watkins’ Villa shirts seen in the area.

Is there any striker in world football who has a 100% shots to goals ratio on the International stage?

No? Just Ollie then...

His only other meaningful touch was to drop a perfect cross onto Bellingham's toe, which the useless bluenose bastard shanked.

He's as much of a Nose as my arsehole, played less games than someone like Lee Novak, scored as many goals as Gabby has at the sty and wasn't even born in Birmingham. Nose my arse.
They are so proud of his debut they are going to retire 2 stands in his honour.

Class.

This.

He won’t give the noses a second thought when he’s pictured at
Bodymoor Heath.

I saw a kid in a Blues shirt in Teignmouth the other day, poor kid, I reported him to social services.

I'm sorry, but if he scores for England he's nothing to do with them, but any error and he's a stonewall rag.

The West Country are really proud of Ollie. Reports of him being picked and playing for England have been on the local news and in the papers.

We could have Ollie, Jack, Konsa and Mings in the England squad for the World Cup next year. That would be the first time we've had 4 players in a major tournament squad, wouldn't it?

It would, however I feel Konsa won’t get picked after this latest squad.
 World Cup 2022 will be his time after he picks up the FA Cup 2022.

In the meantime, what a goal from Ollie!
Just in time to break the duck for Fulham. 👍

I'm so happy Ollie scored on his England debut I was willing him to score when he came on.

Very outside chances, I'd imagine, unfortunately - we're unusually strong in the full-back position at International level, for the first time in a while. 

Targett is behind Chilwell, Shaw and Sako (at least), and Cash is behind Trippier, James and Alexander Arnold (plus a few younger players will be in the mix soon if they keep impressing, like Tariq Lamptey and Max Aarons, and a few older heads like Kyle Walker).

They're both class, but both would need to keep improving at a pretty decent rate to unseat the incumbents.
