and Man United was a good result for Spurs, I have to say Howard Webb is right up there as one of the worse refs I have ever seen (Chris Foy apart) in 50 years of watching football.
He got practically every major decision wrong today, even though he was looking directly at every one of them. Yes, we all know the joke is that he plays for Man United, but really he is dreadfully inept for all teams in every game he refs, it is quite unbeliveable how he managed to ref the World Cup Final a couple of years back.
The trouble is the FA thinks the sun shines out of his you know where, so it looks like he will be refereeing and making more major mistakes for many years to come.
Let`s hope and pray he keeps as far away from Spurs games as is possible.
Whilst today`s result between Chelsea

Yes.
Chelsea were poor first half and we are all over the place at the back.Our goals were an og and deflection and we never looked comfortable.
We give penalties away for fun and Man u are masters at getting them.
Man u always go until the end.No marking on the equalizing header also.
This is not a great Man Utd team,but SAF has them going for it anyway.

Sturridge had that coming to him for his dive vs qpr last week.
1st was a pen, 2nd looked dodgy but coward webb didn't give them the clear one on young in the 1st half although I'm still baffled by this question....
Why do players fall forward when having their shirt pulled from behind?!

Webb's perfected the art of LOOKING authoritative and in charge, and that seems to be enough for the PL/FA/UEFA/FIFA.
Basically he projects an image a bit like Collina (nowhere near it in fact but he's one of the closest in the modern game still active). But actually he's inept.
These days image is everything. All the refs make howlers. Webb makes far more than many, but his seeming grip on games along with strong personality are what they want, rather than decent refereeing and fair decisions and results
(Btw, didn't see the game today, just going on every other game I've seen him officiate.)

Players antics and cheating do make it hard for refs,especially poor refs..............so well done divers everywhere for ruining it for the rest of us.I am away to retrive my dummy now.
Fekin Chelsea,build you up and let you down again and again.

you have it exactly right....Webb looks the part but makes big mistakes game after game.. Last 2 games i've seen were yesterday and Spurs vs City. Games changing mistakes in both of them.
