City ahead by some margin, maybe Webb just loves Manchester tbf, we have been s**t anyway through most of his years as a ref Doesn't mean he didn't hate us though
He must despise Swansea then. So much love for City and Arsenal though. Disproves the United myth too.
I've partaken in the Webb conspiracy theory myself occasionally, but only on United v Liverpool games he reffed
Doesn't actually prove much unless someone has a break down of each of the opposition United, City and Arsenal had. What if most of his City games were City V the bottom three teams? Naturally they'd have a higher points per game than Arsenal V top four teams. Still think he was a shoddy ref who bottled the big decisions and gave plenty of irrelevant ones so that he got the 'majority' right. Still think he favoured the big teams at home too - whichever clubs they were.
yes for me Webb is an epic bottler, afraid to upset managers the FA and his own boss depending on the situation His failure ot act in the WC final was a good example. he made the rules come 2nd to not "ruining the game"
"Coward" Webb indeed, and summed up best when he **** himself during a WC final, bottled giving a second pen against Arsenal when even Ox immediately knew what he'd done, and then that Chelsea game last season - the decision not to give the pen against Et'o was bad, but the knee-high lunge against Henderson was... well it was as blatant a sending-off as ever, and he never even got a card. But the United jibes aside - I've never been serious about that, as in the Ryan babel United shirt wind-up - was that he was an inveterate 'homer', and we rarely got to have the ****er ref at Anfield in big games, sadly. Overall though, I simply cannot go along with all the eulogies and plaudits - United jokes aside, he was ****ing spectaculary crap in big games. The ****ing definition of the Emperor's New Clothes, imho.
19 games and less than 1 point per game average. Plus he single handedly put us out of the FA Cup last season. **** that ****.
Now now children, don't force the thread to be closed! I've deleted the comments made so far, if you wish to continue the conversation I suggest you revert to the PM service available. Thanks in advance
I knew one of you fence sitters would come on and say "stop fighting children, I even mentioned it, clearly I was propositioned with sex by dave and politely declined, and tried to dissuade further approaches, not that you cared to read. Kiss me bollocks fence sitter #deletethis
Can't say I read much of the exchanges tbh but I saw enough to know it had ****all to do with the thread and everything to do with you and Dave going at it....again! PS...see you reverted to mentioning dongs too
Back OT Need to see what games he reffed but everyone knows he bottles decisions in big games knowing full well, not giving a penalty will cause less uproar then giving one that results the outcome of the game. Poor WBA thouh, 7 games reffed, 2 draws 5 defeats
