Genuinely Tom it makes me so happy to see you bigging him up. I know he’s not the perfect footballer, but he works so hard and he’s such a genuinely nice guy. The improvement in him this last 12-18 months is fantastic. I’m so proud to see someone like him representing our football club. Up the Oliver George Arthur Watkins!!

I think that once he starts senior school, we’re really going to start seeing the best of him.

I don’t doubt Romano’s credibility like a lot do, but he definitely twerks for ‘Big’ clubs.

I hate that little paragraph at the end. Fabrizio wouldn’t have put that if it’d been a Spurs youngster.

Thoroughly deserving of his start. I’d love him to grab a couple of goals tonight, and really announce himself as an England international.

In fairness, I think Toney is more similar to Kane in attributes/style, but Watkins has done everything he can to make sure he is on that plane. Personally, I’d take all 3. Glad to see you’re on board the ‘Ollie Watkins Train’ Nick!

If we take our “Southgate hates him” hat off, does anyone think he is playing his way into a position to be a genuine option off the bench for England in the Euros? Not just an understudy in case Kane gets injured.

I just can’t believe the improvement in him, his touch and finish for his second goal was absolutely top class. You just didn’t see him finishing like that 12 months ago. He’s genuinely become one of the top strikers in the league.

A hat trick tonight takes him joint top scorer in the PL with Haaland!

Much appreciated @OutByEaster?. Thank you!

As you say, best case all round. We’ve scored every penalty this season, Dougie gets a bit of a boost and it hasn’t harmed Ollie’s confidence one bit.

Sorry mate, it was meant in a light hearted way. In response to what you’ve posted, I have to say it’s fair about the pigeonholing of people and their nationality - I have come across plenty of people in my time with a dislike for “Yanks” in particular. The main issue of all this for me is that no member of our staff being treated unlawfully. Redundancy happens, but there are processes that have to be followed, and you would hope this kind of thing would be done with a touch of class.

I think to be fair to some posters on here, there is a difference between siding with the club and waiting for some more ‘concrete’ evidence to appear.
