AwokenGiant Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Whilst the lad might be shooting from the hip a bit, I’m sure there is some truth in what he is saying. So it takes a good manager to get the best out of him - arise Sir Brucie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Westwood has a reputation for being a big game player, I'm utterly convinced had he been available he would have oved to play against WBA. Absolute nothingness story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 No player is bigger than the club, that's a fact. There may be a little truth to his story, I for one wonder why he never gets more look-ins for his country. At the end of the day he hasn't let us down when he's played so not reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Always got the impression Westwood is a intense player with a short fuse. But nobody knows exactly goes off inside the club. Guess a lot of players have big egos and are difficult to manage sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see him appearing with Biggs again he has no credibility left on this side of the city. No journalist worth their salt would post what he has without backing it up. But then I suppose no journalist worth their salt would reduce someone to the caricature of simply being a 'bad bloke' in the first place; it's primary school stuff. As for his opening rhetorical question, Wednesday fans might realise a bit more about Westwood if journalists like this James Gregg chap wrote articles with a bit of substance rather than taking to Twitter to post vague statements which allude to a story without actually telling one.

ANDY Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Can someone ask this plonker .... if Westwood is such a bad bloke. Why have SWFC renewed his contract, what is it 3 times ? surley if he’s that bad we would have got rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called him a bad person, didn't fully grasp what is and what isn't potentially libellous and then went silent. It's strange, as by directly Tweeting that at Westwood, I'd assume he was spoiling for a fight or argument. Who knows, perhaps we will get a follow up today?

Well I’d hate to see what his lesser talents are in that case. Anyway, yet another example of a grunter more interested in us than them. Fk em. Looks as if he’s progressed from Sky Sports to Radio Aire and sitting next to Biggs on Sheffield Live. Going well then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris E Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I've heard stories about Westwood that don't always show him in a positive light off the pitch so Gregg may be right. However, a long as it's nothing illegal and he's professional and performs on the pitch then it doesn't matter one jot. This just comes across as stirring by Gregg. Very unprofessional from a BBC journalist who should be impartial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 There are lots of different personalities within the football world. I suspect Westwood takes a bit more handling than Tom Lees, just the way it is. Like any workplace. But a footballer being self centred is hardly a complete shock.

And the award for misrepresenting the situation in the thread goes to... I haven't seen a single quote backing him over Westwood. I think literally everyone in this thread has called this Gregg bloke a bit of a kn*b. But a lot of what he's saying is stuff that has been said by Wednesday fans on here in the past, so it's not like it's a bolt from the blue. If a "piggy numpty" said the world was round, we wouldn't all denounce it because of the team he supported. I suspect there's quite a few shades of truth to a lot of what he says... just because he supports Sheffield United doesn't invalidate that, and just because it isn't the most palatable of thoughts doesn't make it wrong either. That's what quite a lot are saying in this thread. What we're all united in saying, however, is that at best this borders of liable, and the bloke clearly needs to put his keyboard-warriorness to one side, and probably learn when to shut his mouth.
