Ollie Watkins

[Ian.]

Who used to have the signature on here which was like the ramblings of the drunken chap from the Fast Show as the ramble didn’t quite finish? Was that your signature Smirker?

Yes mate.

This was the quote:

That's a fairly recent phenomenon. I took some foreign visitors there a year or two back. One of them was concerned that it would be too spicy. After I had reassured her that unlike curries, baltis did not contain chillies I was made to look a total eejit when it was served. It was explained to me that they had started to add a small amount of chilli to their recipe by public demand.

Back in the day I regularly took foreign business visitors to The Kababish, especially those who had never even tasted a curry, never mind a balti. I particularly remember a rather rotund German gentleman, who, having wiped his balti dish clean with his nan bread was asked if he'd like anything else. Ya he replied, "I would like to have it again." And he did.

I couldnt fit the whole thing in so never bothered changing it until the rassclart post.

Your consistent rays of positivity omits you from this judgement, Drum 

[Ian.]

I thought so, your signature always made me chuckle.

I just have a feeling the rest would have done Ollie the world of good and he will score two goals on Sunday in a 3-1 win for Villa.

[Rigadon]

Come on today.  Let’s have a couple of goals.

Let’s hope so. Today should be the reboot of his season. Find your form Ollie.

[Pete3206]

Whilst others will be going "please don't score, please don't score"

[AlexAlexCropley]

There is a place in the England set up at stake.I'm desperate for him to get his mojo back.

[Ian.]

Come on Ollie, put your scoring boots on today.

[Smirker]

If he scores I bet he does that shit celebration and runs round with his fingers in his ears as if it cancels the last 18 months of abysmal form.

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't know what's more impressive, criticising him 15 mins before KO, or criticising him for something he hasn't done.

Do you not want him to score?

[Percy McCarthy]

It’s the speed of criticism that impresses me. He gives your (warmly welcomed) scorchios a run for their money post-final whistle if Ollie doesn’t score.
