Ollie Watkins

One other thing about Ollie’s celebration we almost got the full Marco Tardelli but I assume he’s saving that for the final.

Was talking about the Tardelli celebration after Ollie’s goal.

I’d read that they got a lip reader to see what he was saying.
It was real ‘Boys Own’ stuff, can’t quote it, but it was along the lines of…
‘Tardelli scores for Italy, Tardelli has won the World Cup’

Anyone know what the Dutch lad was moaning to the Ref about as Ollie celebrated? He got booked, so must have been giving it some, but I haven't heard anything about what might have upset the poor lad.

Was it Simmons? That boy could trademark 'face like a smacked arse'.

Yep, it was.  In similar vein to Gabriel Jesus with that "permanently worried" look.

Foden always seems to have a confused expression.

Maybe it's a Man City/ex-Man City thing?

Same expression I had when I found out he has 3 kids at the age of 24.

There is a clip doing the rounds on Twitter where his mum* is at a party and grabs the mike and yells "I wish on Wednesday that THEY FINALLY LET MY SON COME ON THE FUCKING PITCH"


*He is from the south so the spelling is allowed.

Axel Tuanzebe was just on Sky Sports News talking about Watkins professionalism.

Confirming what we pretty much know that he is Mr. Professional & works extremely hard every day in training.

The Sky Sports presenter called him "a national hero"... 😁

Foden always seems to have a confused expression.

He always makes me think that with that sloping fucking brow of his, that evolution has skipped him a couple million years...

He always looks to me as if he should be with his parents outside the Magistrates court on a Monday morning,  up before the beak for anti social behaviour over the weekend.

Just looks back at page 1 of this thread.  Crazy money seemed to be the common theme.  Not so crazy now though was it.  However I was always hoping he was saving a goal like that to win is the Champions League

Probably wondering why, with all his millions in the bank, he still has a haircut that looks like it cost £2.

You don't have to go too far back to when a number of people didn't think he was good enough for us, was never top half quality and that we needed better.

Even the start of last season when he hadn't scored in the first five games in the Prem. (He had already created 2 goal though).

And that Benteke was better. Pah!

Hands up I was one that regularly got/ gets frustrated with his finishing, but he was outstanding at times last season. When he's confident and on it he's been phenomenal at times. The Bournemouth game was one of the best displays I've seen from a centre forward I can remember.

When Unai came in, I genuinely would have paused if you'd asked me whether him or Ings were the better striker. Then I couldn't believe we were placing so much faith in him as our only striker. Turns out Unai knows better.
