Ollie Watkins

[Somniloquism]

Fantastic news.

It really is. I know people moan about his first touch and his conversion rate but he’s been fantastic for us and he works his knackers off for 90 minutes.

You certainly notice when he's not playing.

Yep we really missed him in those first 6 games

😀

First six games, he got a hat trick. However if you are talking first six league games, he got a goal, two assists* and won us the penalty as well.

*Probably more then two as if a shot is blocked by a defender or GK and someone scores on the follow up, it isn't officially an assist.

How long is this contract extension?

Villa just said "long term" and no more specifics than that.

5 years according to the Beeb. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67029899

Hopefully pass Gabby as top PL goalscorer end of next season :-)

The sooner, the better!

Are we still allowed to call Gabby a cockwomble?

I reckon it depends on whether you think there is a verb, 'to womble', and what that would entail. The Wombles song mentions 'wombling free', so certainly the creators thought so, but did they clarify what it actually was?

The Wombles sort of salvaged/harvested things, didn't they? So could any male homosexual act be classified as salvaging or harvesting a cock?

If so, you absolutely can NOT say it.

I googled wombling and the first two results were

In statistics, Wombling is any of a number of techniques used for identifying zones of rapid change,

And

Womblers are receipt hunters who collect loyalty points and other rewards from other people's shopping.

So I guess it depends on which one the creators of The Wombles were referring to, whether Gabby would be statistically analysing how cocks rapidly change, or trying to claim the associated cock-based rewards for other people's shopping.

I try to stay non-judgemental about these things. Unlike Gabby, who i judge to be a cockwomble.

What do people think being a knob jockey etc means. It's not really subtle.

A heterosexual woman.

...and who'd want to be one of those?!

Winky thing, obvs.

It's even more complex than I dared imagine.

Not me. I feel sorry for straight women. Overall, men are fucking awful.

[CT Villan]

The sooner Gabby's record goes the better.

His finest moment was crunching that weedy, boy-band cockwomble at a charity game.

[Hookeysmith]

Oh. Just saw it as a slightly swearier version of knob jockey.

Erm, that's exactly the same meaning!

Is it? I genuinely have never heard the term used in that context just a more general term of abuse to someone who’s being a bit of a dickhead. Ho hum, every days a school day.

Not that I should have to explain myself I will state that it was meant as a generic insult rather than directed at his or anyone else's sexuality.

And for the record my son is gay and very proud of the fact.

That was a dickhead thing to do as well.

[Dante Lavelli]

Great news, he is a 7/10 player most weeks, and under Emery often higher.  For the club it provides stability, a boost for FFP if he is ever sold and can probably be filed as a ‘statement’ of ambition too.

Weird in a way that the stat is a prem league nothing mattered before we renamed top level football stat, all the media spout is this bs.
Why have the previous 110 odd years of football been relegated in importance.
I'd like to see him do a pongo waring.
Bollocks to Gabbys record.

It is great news he signed, his all round contribution is huge.

😂 I don't think you're supposed to say 'cockwomble'.

Or maybe you are. This thread is the first time I've ever seen such a phrase
