Ollie Watkins

[LeeB]

Glad to see other posters pointing out that he has surpassed Dion Dublin's 47 PL goals for us. Worth pointing out he has done it in three years whereas Dion was on the books for five and a half years.  Yorke played for us in 6 PL seasons and hit 60 goals. Ollie has to be up there with Yorke and Benteke as the three best strikers since 1992.

To be fair to Dion, he was scoring at a fair old rate until the broken neck and the last couple of seasons he was out on loan or auxillery centre half.

Evening Standard reporting the Met are in contact with Villa over the abuse of Watkins.

Are even the Met allowed to truncheon suspects days after the event?

They'll probably arrest Ollie claiming one of them smelt cannabis.

Yorke and Benteke at Villa were leagues apart from Watkins, both beautiful footballers in their own ways. As centre forwards go, Benteke is the one who really stands out for me due to his ability to score so many different types of goal. Only his bank manager will look back on his leaving Villa as a good thing.

Yes and Yorke was a fringe player (astonishingly) for nearly half of that period. Or played out wide.

He said you can see him on the coverage and he is right in the front row. When Ollie is in the back of the goal you can see the fan shouting ‘Wanker’ at him repeatedly.
Players can hear individuals near the front. I remember us winding Shawcross up when he played for Stoke just by repeatedly calling his name in a sing song voice.

When we played Liverpool at Anfield under Gerrard, we won a corner and I shouted something along the lines of 'Come on, Villa, their defence is SHIT!' and Matip looked up. I think I was in the second row near one of the posts, so I felt he heard, but could have been coincidence.

It looked to me like the bloke in the light-coloured jacket right in the centre and definitely repeated wanker at Ollie.  The bloke wasn't too young either the stupid pillock.

At Selhurt Park in 1997/8-ish when we drew 3-3 with Wimbledon I not-so-comically shouted to Gary Charles something unamusing about his shorts being hitched high as only he & Stuart Pearce seemed to do.  He heard every word & didn't look chuffed.  Never done it since.

Sitting behind the dugouts you can see they hear a lot of what is shouted at them. Plenty react to it.

Ah, gotcha.  I try my best not to be cringeworthy.😉
