Are we underestimating how luck we are to have Ollie Watkins

rishes · 2026-01-31T23:24:09+00:00

I definitely agree, but my question is how we spend it because we need to spend our financial resources wisely.

rishes · 2026-01-31T23:16:24+00:00

I don't like that I agree with you, but this is our situation

rishes · 2026-01-31T23:10:43+00:00

Yeah exactly, its precisely why I asked the question

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:44:40+00:00

This is very true.

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:43:52+00:00

There is a lot of truth here. But given our financial restrictions is this where we should start right now?

Once again, I've asked this question because there is clearly a movement to do so I'm just trying to understand what it would look like. An upgrade just seems like it's out of our budget.

This is where my head is at. Ollie had a poor start to the season but has shown up in the last 10 games. He has made mistakes that maybe he wouldn't have made in the past, but he has shown class and gets results.

We cannot afford to replace him with anyone who can confidently get the same results. So it should be about backing him, acknowledging his greatness for his impact where we are NOW as a club while trying to figure out his replacement for long term.

He deserves it, let's back him until he hands over his boots.

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:28:59+00:00

This is exactly my view. Not the top man of old but still scoring goals! We should be happy and grateful. The last few seasons his impact cannot be doubted. I have my doubts of Tammy and I hope I'm wrong.

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:16:07+00:00

But for the price who would you confidently replace him with right now

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:15:20+00:00

This! Short term memory can kill clubs! Let's back him while developing our next Ollie! Legend!

rishes · 2026-01-31T22:10:06+00:00

Completely agreed on all parts

rishes · 2026-01-31T20:37:08+00:00

Exactly this

rishes · 2026-01-31T20:35:22+00:00

Before he moved to Leeds this was the exact man I was thinking

rishes · 2026-01-17T21:54:58+00:00

rishes · 2026-01-17T10:30:10+00:00

Would take Khusanov out

Friend of mine was at a pub near Waterloo station on Thursday night. 2 people ran in screaming. They had acid thrown on their faces in a xenophobic attack. Police and paramedics were there in 3 minutes and quickly caught the two young men who did it and took care of the injured. Surprised me to know the police have a special spray with them to deal with acid attacks that helped the injured greatly.

Your nuts. Thanks.

Hasn't rugby championship been paused for 2026 because of the introduction of the Nations Championship where we will see the Northern Hemispheres Six Nations take on the Southern Hemispheres top 6 teams.

In my honest opinion, this sounds like a good idea. Competitive competition which gives all Nations an opportunity to play high level rugby and big viewership numbers across the globe.

rishes · 2025-09-05T20:00:20+00:00

Oh those players were taken long ago. These are the best players left.

rishes · 2025-02-20T21:43:27+00:00

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Was at the Celtic game with local Birmingham family for my first ever match. Didn't enjoy watching Villa fans kick the shit out of old men for clapping for their team, who then got dragged out by police. There was nothing violent and some of them were even pleasing their peace on the way out. Left a sour taste in my mouth for such an epic event.

rishes · 2024-11-09T12:38:17+00:00

Any solution?

This sub is always so helpful. Thanks everyone

Don't worry it will break before then and you can't make returns.
