    I echo the sentiment of everyone else here. But would also add that he is an absolute gentleman on the pitch.

    Literally never tries to cheat or gain an unfair advantage ever! Top guy.

    MOTM imo, ran the show and getting better by the game. How did Boro fans not rate this guy? We've robbed them blind.

    Some people only see a player when they're putting insane numbers up.

    It was no different when we had Saunders, he was often tapped up, but, like Unai, he understood what this club is all about. I really don't get the insecurity. 

    He does understand that but he'll still move on, won't be for another 2-3 years though IMO (hopefully more!).

    After watching this, this was the transcript of the argument and fight that ensued in the changing room.

     

    Lucas Digne:
    Like the frightened baby chipmunk, you are scared by anything that is different. I will let you go, Ollie. But first, I want you to say..."I... love... crepes."

    John McGinn.:
    Don't you say it, Ollie mate. These colors don't run.

    Ollie Watkins:
    I'm not gonna say it.

    John McGinn.:
    Good.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Hey, look, Frenchy, I thought about it. So why don't you go ahead and break my arm?

    Lucas Digne:
    I do not want to break your arm, Monsieur Watkins, but I am a man of my word.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Here's the deal. He's not gonna break it because I'm gonna slip out of it right now. Grealish!! [He makes a futile attempt to rescue his arm]

    Lucas Digne:
    Whoa! Get down, you little pancake.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Someone might as well get me a Lucazade while I'm down here.

    Lucas Digne:
    But you have forced me to do this. You are now mocking me and making me look ridiculous. Just say, "I love crepes."

    John McGinn.:
    You know mate, just to put this in there...I had a whole mess of crepes this mornin'. They're just like pancakes, maybe even better.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Wait, are they the really thin pancakes?

    John McGinn.:
    Yeah.

    Lucas Digne:
    Yes they are. They are the really thin pancakes. It's just a French word for them.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Oh, my god, I love those!

    John McGinn.:
    Put all the kinds of syrup you want on them. I'm just sayin', think about it.

    Ollie Watkins:
    They come with cheese sometimes?

    Lucas Digne:
    Yes, of course, a fromage-crepe.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Well, why didn't someone yell that right--right away?

    Lucas Digne:
    Do you know what's in the crepe suzette?

    Ollie Watkins:
    Oh, I love the crepe suzette.

    Lucas Digne:
    With the sugar and lemon juice...

    Ollie Watkins:
    Yeah, the sugar and the lemon juice. Sure.

    Lucas Digne:
    Grand Marnier.

    Ollie Watkins:
    I wow - I wish I could crawl into one of those right now. I'd eat my way out from the inside!

    Lucas Digne:
    They are tasty.

    Jacob Ramsey:
    Either way this goes down, can we go get some after we're done?

    Ollie Watkins:
    Absolutely, we're gonna do it.

    Jean Girard:
    Bon. So, what if you just said: "I love really thin pancakes"? That is a fair compromise, no?

    Jacob Ramsey:
    That is a fair compromise.

    Ezri Konsa:
    Very fair, actually.

    Ollie Watkins:
    No! Because then everyone would know I really meant crêpes!

    Jacob Ramsey:
    That's actually a pretty good compromise right there.

    Lucas Digne:
    Why do you want me to break your arm so badly?

    Ollie Watkins:
    You don't understand. You don't understand because you don't understand British morals. You don't understand History. So you put a crack in my arm like the crack in Big Ben! You hear me?

    John McGinn.:
    [leans down to talk to Ollie in a low voice] Hey. This is just between you and me, okay? I mean, forget all these other guys. But...he did give you a pretty decent out. But it's your call.

    Ollie Watkins:
    [whispering] What do you think?

    John McGinn.:
    Don't say it.

    Ollie Watkins:
    Yeah. I'm not gonna say it. Nope. Break it, Pepé Le Pew!

    Lucas Digne:
    As you wish.
    [He breaks ollies arm]

    Ollie Watkins:
    He actually did it!

    Jacob Ramsey:
    Back off!

    Ollie Watkins:
    I didn't say it!

    John McGinn.:
    No, you did not!

    Lucas Digne:

    Your injury is one of ignorance and pride! Au revoir!

    Eh? Fight?

    I love the bloke, and he's doing a phenomenal job here, but a chart that considers CL wins the same as a Conference League win is pretty much without value.

    If you look at win percentages and ignore which competitions they're in, Steve Bruce looks like the second best Villa manager in the last 30 years.

    It's all relative to the squad you have though? If you're a CL level side, you don't qualify for EL and CL. I still don't think our squad is quite top 4, but Unai has us there!

  6. Ten Hag coming out with all these excuses about the injuries he's had to deal with, thank God we've got Emery who just gets on with things! (and still delivers).

    If the first yellow for time wasting happened while the ball was in open play, we should be appealing tha one - it's factually, demonstrably an incorrect application of the rules.

    That really would be new levels of refereeing incompetence.

    Sounds like we are going to try and reverse it based on Emery’s interview today.

    Emery said

    “It’s not exactly 100 per cent he’s not going to be for the next round, available to play.

    “In the beginning I think it’s not, but we are in conversations with UEFA about it.

    “And, of course, it was a little bit strange because it’s not usual.”

    Nah, think he just said that when the rule was unclear. Think it's all been cleared up and confirmed he's suspended now.

    I saw a clip on Instagram and it looked like he punched the air that many times he almost fell over.

    Need to see it!!

  10. Love him as a player, sublime footwork. However I think he's a little too casual at times and could do with adding a little bit of aggression to his game.

    Apart from that last pass back to a Lille player in our half, he was immense and showed that he is a CB first and foremost - his best position.

    David was in his pocket, wasn’t impressed by him in either game but maybe Ezri was responsible for that…

    I'm yet to see David have an impactful game

    I really like him, I've always liked him...

    And to say he has two goals in a European Quarter Final...

    Don't understand the s*** he gets on here, is it because he's handsome perhaps?

    😂 definitely not, he's far from the most handsome in the team. Would struggle to crack top 10.

  13. Awful against Lille, awful against Arsenal. Not writing him off forever but it's like watching a little kid out there at times. Every move seems to end with him.

    I don’t think many fans celebrated as passionately as Unai did in the clip! So grateful. 

    Where's the clip?
