Robbie09 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) How anyone can justify that fraud as a top level manager/coach is beyond me. The journos bottled it earlier, not one asked about Watkins. Edited August 31, 2023 by Robbie09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 This is gonna be popular but..... id say if ollie had been more clinical in the opening games of the season he may have been picked. there have been a few chances that he should have buried that maybe played on Southgates mind. I love Ollie but even I can see that he isn't perfect and isn't a deadly finisher. In saying all that I think he should have been called up... Not calling up Ezri is, however, criminal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Southgate. I love him he read that Ollie wanted ro play every single Villa game this season and decided to give him an early rest so he can do that Top man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It’s irrelevant anyway. No one is dislodging Kane. Much better getting 2 weeks of training with Unai than getting tapped up on International duty. Deano said he’d get him some England caps, and he did.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Him and a few other players were a bit quick to leave the ground without applauding the fans. Good on chambers to start it off and others followed. I know I’m nitpicking but we’ve just filled the ground in a game where we 5-0 up an stayed to the end on a Thursday night. Acknowledging the fans for a minute isn’t going to kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Is Southgate going to do his usual comedy sketch about Villa fans hating him and he doesn't have any bias against Villa players? Edited August 31, 2023 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 16 hours ago, jacketspuds said: My only concern is that it makes Watkins think about having to leave to get a chance in the England team. Southgate is such a prick that Watkins could have a much worse record at Spurs, but would still get picked. Maybe Ollie should join Crystal Palace, Southgate seems to love their players. Three of their players in the current squad, not bad for such a mediocre side. When we were mediocre and finishing midtable he never selected any of our players apart from maybe Mings, now we've gone up a level under a top manager he still doesn't select our players. What annoys me about snubbing Watkins is he's always done well for England. 2 goals in 7 appearances is a decent return considering 6 of those were coming off the bench and playing out wide in at least half of them. Guy's an absolute bellend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Being the selfish fan I am I hope no Villa players gets called up to international duty. I couldn't give a damn about International football. All you get in return are injuries and fatigue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might think he won't get a chance while at Villa because Safegate has a weird grudge against us. That said I agree with your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
