Yes, he’s certainly shut me up. Fair play to him, he’s been fucking amazing right when we needed him.

Good stuff mate! Aswell as the goals, I know you don't count assists (fallen off a cliff for some reason), he's a durable sort. 50+ games the last three seasons and finished strong from memory in all three.

That is what I would call being damned with faint praise.

Unai kept his faith in Ollie and told him the goals would come.

Let's not, eh? It's been tedious enough as it is.

Smirker, to his credit, has praised Watkins for his recent performances and I'm sure he'll be the first to resurrect the topic when Ollie drops below his expected standards again.

Let's just all be happy together, for now.

I very much enjoyed seeing him on the parade bus.

He’s a very professional and polite guy in his interviews, so it was good to see a bit more of the person behind that, and it made me like him even more.

The "100 club" is a pretty exclusive club, and when you look at the names on it, you realise the sort of company Ollie will be in, if he gets there.

I know he sometimes gets a lot of stick for not always being the most natural finisher, or not being the most technically gifted player, but when you look at the scoring records of those currently IN the 100 club, his goals per game ratio is better than the likes of Bent, Dublin, Yorke, Anelka, Robbie Keane, Sheringham, and Defoe.  While being almost identical to the likes of Drogba, Sadio Mane, Lukaku, Les Ferdinand and Vardy.

When he's gone, you might not miss the odd miscontrolled pass, or the seemingly easy chances missed, but believe me, you'll miss just how good a goalscorer he's been for us.  He's going to be incredibly hard to replace.
