" One Jamaican made a valid point in fairness, Said if he was shit or missed a penalty etc the claim might be different People really do argue over any type of bollox online these days. From personal experience, a lot of people really don't get their heads around the idea of someone being more than one ethnicity/culture. You combine that with the toxic argumentative atmosphere you find online and you get.. well.. that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie is revered at Villa Park, as he was everywhere he's been.....so I say, for all the fans who he has played for, enjoy Ollies Moment, your support has helped him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It highlights the lust for a headline/story.....and the frenzy that goes with it, like feeding piranha's I am pleased that Ollie is finally, getting some recognition for his undoubted qualities, I'm just tickled, by what lights the touch paper, sure it was a mammoth moment, and sure it was a Technically, well executed finish at a crucial moment......but Ollie has scored some great goals in League football, and had that work being recognised with more football intellect, this frenzy wouldn't be so spectacular. That goal has just highlighted the Media's Anagnorisis of Ollie Watkins, welcome to the fan club boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) 17 hours ago, Lichfield Dean said: Amazing how one goal can turn you into a cultural phenomenon. He's in every single newspaper, on every website. Madness. Ollie's Wikipedia page got almost 450,000 hits on Wednesday, and a further 300,000 yesterday, completely dwarfing any previous day. Previous high was around 160,000 when he scored the hat-trick against Liverpool in 2020. At no point last season did his page get more than 30,000 hits in a single day, and that was during his best and most high-profile season yet for one of the best teams in the league. Just as a comparison, US President Joe Biden's page gets around 20k-40k hits on an average day, and the highest number his page got this year was 350,000 on 28th June after his very widely publicised poor performance in a presidential debate.

It will be 140m for Ollie if anyone even thinks about calling. Wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brilliant use of a classic word TRO ..... I never would have imagined that it would be used to describe a transformation of opinion by a previously "one eyed media" group on a football forum. You've made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works hard, is quick and stronger than he looks, I’ve just always been unsure if his technical ability is really up to the top level. Maupay always looked the better striker when they were both there (Watkins was shunted out wide to let Maupay play through the middle). I think he’s better than what we have currently, I would just prefer Edouard.

Yes he's scored lots of goals but when it came to the crunch the ball was flying under his foot at 1-1 v Barnsley and thought he was very average last night. Not a striker who can really create chances in tight games like Benteke could. If he has to come in it's as a squad striker. Making him number one would be repeating mistakes of Gestede imo. Reminds me of Che Adams signing for Southampton last year and Southampton forgetting that Jutkewicz had set up half his goals.

maqroll Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I can see Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Bayern, Dortmund, PSG, the Milan clubs, Atletico Madrid and even Real Madrid trying to sign Ollie next summer. A win-win for Villa no matter what happens. If he has another season like last, his price tag will hover around 100 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
