Me: Ah, the usual. Fair play Ollie, well done, good on ya, that can only be good for us etc. etc. A couple just keep going on about Leeds fans and how obsessed they are with Villa. Missus: They say that quite often that Leeds fans are obsessed with Villa, don't they? Bit strange that. No? It's almost like some of them are obsessed with Leeds...

It's like the FA are more interested in stat padding instead of protecting player's physical condition for the Euros. A step further why bother with qualifiers ? - we all know who will qualify and who won't. Qualifiers were valid when only the select few made the finals. But with so many teams now in the finals it's more or less a waste of time. Euros even more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 UEFA and FIFA are both set up as 1 FA 1 vote As much as we all like to think that the English are bigger than San marino when it comes to voting we are on equal footing When it comes to voting not to play each other even if we voted to not doing it they are never going to do it and there are more nations that see these games as necessary and those that don't, they're going nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I dont think he will go to the Euros but he had put himself in the conversation if injuries come up Probably jumped above Tammy and just behind Ings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to think that Weston-Super-Mare got something as well, since they provided him his first regular first team slot when he was just a youth. But I guess it doesn’t work like that.

Dave-R Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I remember people mocked me when we bought Watkins but I did throw my weight around the lad going onto playing for England. I still think as long as Villa keep moving in the right directions and we find some better Wingers to service Watkins right that Watkins could be an heck of an International player for England. After all we would need Watkins to keep scoring and more next season and beyond to keep getting in a stronger position for being picked for future international events.

AvonVillain Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Interesting story about Watkins in the Guardian today - didn't realise that Dean Smith first spotted Ollie at WSM: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/25/ollie-watkins-non-league-england-weston-super-mare?CMP=share_btn_tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I said he'd play for England after just some games of scoring a few for us and because I said I reckon he could be an England Great if he gets into England and can find his feet fast enough and scoring for his nation.. I can understand why people thought I were talking crap, but I wernt just looking at Watkins scoring Goals but alot of his game. He will benefit clubs in ways alot of strikers just do not.

useless Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It was I that was first to suggest that he'd play for England...
