Ollie Watkins is one of only 3 players to hit double figures in each if the past 3 Premier League seasons :
14 in 2020-21
11 in 2021-22
10 in 2022-23 - so far
Harry Kane and Mo Salah are the other 2.

Given the teams they play for then that makes Watkins' achievement all the more impressive, and also makes you wonder:

a) what is he worth?

b) why does Shitgate not pick him?

Yes brilliant finish and taken with supreme confidence considering his miss earlier.
He's absolutely flying and fair play to him.

Darren, Any idea why Ollie didn't celebrate the goal properly with relish?

How many more would he need to become our record Premier League goalscorer and remove the present incumbents relevance?

How many goals, overall, does Ollie have so far this season?

BC, I think Agbonlahor got 74 in the Premier League.

I see Ollie has 10 this season.  34 altogether, so far.

Asap hopefully. I want Gabriel Agbonlahor scrubbed from our records, he belongs on TalkShite Radio with his mate James O'Hara.

If you want a 'fun' Sunday quiz, who are our top 20 Premier League goalscorers? No Googling! Guess away and I'll check your answers and start listing the correct ones. Assuming anyone does guess.
