No, but it's getting that way. I'd take a step back if I were you. Before you know it you'll have a wall full of pictures, an Ashley Westwood mask and be calling yourself his biggest fan.

Yeah I secretly love him.

He's coming to meet my brother-in-law.

Pretty anonymous performance form Westwood as Burnley lose at home to Lincoln in the FA Cup today. Pretty embarrassing for Burnley. Bit of pointing here and there but that was about it. How much did we get for him?

Playing in claret and blue, failing to score or do anything useful, before an embarrassing defeat to lower league opposition in the cup.  It'll be like slipping into a pair of comfy old slippers for him.

There's a positive in this for Burnley, his experience of embarrassing defeats will be useful in the dressing room.

It's déjà vu all over again for Westy, bless his  cotton socks.

If this thread ever gets locked or looks like falling from the top of the board, can I make a plea for it to be a sticky. Considering Westwood is a jobbing footballer, seemingly nice bloke, unspectacular and has a bland mediated persona, the emotion he attracts is astonishing. It's also a really good example of how blind hope can turn to hyperbolic bile.

Disclaimer: I like him. Model pro, decent footballer (you simply don't get a career in the pro ranks without being one), clearly cares about his job but sadly wasn't right for us and the job we needed. I reckon the only difference between him and Garry Parker is the club they found themselves in. In the blame list for our current position, he doesn't make my top 100.

Westwood up there with Garry Parker? Ha ha!
If you honestly think that then you either never saw Parker in a Villa shirt or have been brainwashed. Honestly it's an insult to mention him in the same sentence.

I went to probably 75% of Parker's games for us. I didn't rate him, and that's the point. He was clearly a very good player and part of a side I couldn't get enough of seeing. But because I saw things in his game I didn't like, I had a skewed view of him. Ditto John Gregory as a player, and Ayew for that matter. It's clear there's a lot of people who are the same about Westwood, just multiplied several times over. Works the other way of course. I was very forgiving of Tony Daley's crosses.

Pointy is the very antithesis of Tony Daley. Every time Tony got the ball the crowd anticipated the possibility of something exciting.

I'd love to know what Terms of Reference Pointy was fulfilling.

It's like a Trump press conference in here. You make a point about a turd being in the nose of the beholder and find yourself discussing the merits of roses. There's a link, but it's tenuous.
