...the Villa virus is so bad the training ground was due to be temporarily shut down this week. Midfielder Westwood was throwing up in the warm up and despite being named in the original XI he couldn’t start the game he was so ill. With him patrolling in front of the back four there is no way Ozil would have had such an easy day. If Wenger is as shrewd as his supporters believe he is, he will have realised Westwood’s absence was the key to Arsenal’s victory.Wenger might also work out for himself that Westwood is exactly the holding midfielder Arsenal need. Gilberto Silva left the Emirates in 2008 and Arsenal haven’t had a decent anchorman since.

Perhaps they are playing percentages. Throw enough leftfield names out there and eventually if one makes it they can go "See! I told ya!"

I'll be contrary and say that his form in the back part of his first season was awesome. I was convinced that Man U would come calling, looking for a replacement for Carrick. On that basis, I find the suggestion a lot less ridiculous.
He's been excellent this season. I'm a big fan.
