Ollie Watkins

[PeterWithe]

I was watching Sky Sports on the TV while my kid was playing football and it showed Ollie as the #1 point scorer in Fantasy, narrowly ahead of Saka.

The sooner Gabby's record goes the better.

His finest moment was crunching that weedy, boy-band cockwomble at a charity game.

Weird in a way that the stat is a prem league nothing mattered before we renamed top level football stat, all the media spout is this bs.
Why have the previous 110 odd years of football been relegated in importance.
I'd like to see him do a pongo waring.
Bollocks to Gabbys record.

Agreed. 100%

Looking forward to Ollie's 5 minute cameo against Australia before he disappears from Southgate's squad in favour of Calum Wilson and bench warmers from Arsenal.

😂 I don't think you're supposed to say 'cockwomble'.

Or maybe you are. This thread is the first time I've ever seen such a phrase

Algy clarified it, 'cockwomble' is fine.

I can now die a content and happy man knowing that.

Ollie Watkins hit the woodwork for the 16th time in his Premier League career for Aston Villa today - at least 5 more than any other Villa player since records began (2003/2004).

With the last kick of the game too. If that had gone in, it would have been a great moment.

The assist was excellent, a difficult game where they sat deep and marked well.  If Neto hadn't fallen over 5 minutes earlier he'd have won a penalty, too.  He's never going to be the greatest striker in the world but he's a F ton better than many we have seen at VP in the last 25 years.  Intelligent and a seemingly decent dude as well.

There was another Stat which had him on 5 ahead of any other English player for goals/assists the last 12 months with I think 24. Rashford was next.

[Concrete Tom]

So he celebrates others scoring if he provides the assist… ;-)

[PeterWithesShin]

Only Haaland and Salah have more PL goals/assists in 2023.

Willing runner and worker is Ollie. Always gives a lot to the side. We have to embrace his positives but having a killer instinct is not one.

I think you forgot to add picking up a serious injury putting him out for the season.....

Or first touch. His mis control yesterday was pub league level.
