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.

Another feather in his cap today
He may have been on the team sheet but did he actually play along with another pile of crap John Flanagan he was awful

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.

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.
Speedy winger different to jobbing midfielder?
