Hopefully with all eyes on him and his bias towards United well publicised he might not be as quick to make a call in their favour. Might be Babel's last gift to us making it as public
Wasn't at all surprised to read this in this mornings Indo.Whiskey nose must have put in an sos call to the FA.
Given how effective Chavski's number 9 has been might be worth Carlo's time to have him charge through Webb with a hip high two footed lunge. Sure he'd get himself sent off and banned for a few months, but it'd hardly effect his performances
Hardly a suprise is it untied are a poor team and are being found out at the right time in the season. As long as Ancelloti drops torres and starts with malouda, Anelka and drogba they will win
I think your right mate, Remember somebody saying that on saturday Fook it anyway scum are still shite
I'll tell you one thing.If Torres scores the winning goal I will raise a glass or 2 but having said that he won't score because he's shite.
He cant seriously award any favorable decisions to the mancs this time with so much focus on his performances 'for' united in the last few seasons. Saying that, Whiskey nose has already said his piece post Arsenal putting pressure on whoever will be the ref and then the FA appoint Webb As much as i hate Chelski i hope they do united and make the run in more exciting and hopefully halt united's raid on our record. I envisage a draw tho....
One thing's for sure Babel's wee picture should hopefully put Webb under pressure not to be too favourable towards the the manc's....Be lovely to see them kick the fook out of each other,
Cheek of whiskey nose complaining about decisions... F365 1) Stoke City 1 Manchester United 2 (October 24) "Let me ask you this, if it was a Stoke player at Old Trafford and he committed those two fouls, would he have been sent off?" was the question poised by Tony Pulis. Difficult to answer with anything other than "of course" as Gary Neville committed two clear-cut yellow card offences in front of referee Andre Marriner as Matty Etherington made him look like a player on the verge of retirement. Even Sir Alex Ferguson thought he'd been lucky - he took off Neville at half-time to save him further embarrassment. 2) Manchester United 2 Tottenham Hotspur 0 (October 30) "I think Mark Clattenburg is a good ref but he made a mess of this. It was a scandalous decision and a farcical way to end the game," was the verdict of Harry Redknapp after a bizarre goal from Nani scored when Heurelho Gomes put the ball down for a free-kick and the Portuguese winger put the ball in the empty net. It turns out Clattenburg had not given a free-kick for Nani's initial handball but had instead waved play on. Opinions are divided on whether Gomes or the referee had dropped a clanger. 3) West Brom 1 Manchester United 2 (January 1) "Gary was lucky to stay on. It was a penalty. At first I thought he had got a touch but when I saw it again, he was lucky," admitted Sir Alex after Neville (presumably deciding to retire at that precise moment) once again got away scot-free after bringing down Graham Dorrans in the box with the game finely poised at 1-1. 4) Blackpool 2 Manchester United 3 (January 25) The Seasiders had an unlikely two-goal lead when Rafael da Silva clearly bundled Luke Varney to the ground. "They might have come back but how can he not see it was a penalty?" asked Ian Holloway after his team lost 3-2. The 'he' was Peter Walton, and the answer was 'no sodding idea'. "We needed the penalty. That would have really thrown a grenade into it." said the Blackpool boss. Indeed. 5) Wigan 0 Manchester United 4 (February 26) This turned into a rout but the game was 0-0 when Wayne Rooney quite blatantly threw an elbow into James McCarthy's face. The incident was seen by Clattenburg, but he inexplicably decided it was just a 'coming together' and Rooney went on to score a goal and have a hand in two others. He escaped a three-match ban that would have kept him out of games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. 6) West Ham 2 Manchester United 4 (April 2) 'How on earth did Vidic stay on the pitch after this?' was the headline in the Daily Mail as they recounted a nightmare game for the Serb in which he brought down Carlton Cole for a penalty, was only booked for a cynical challenge on Demba Ba when he was beaten and then went through Ba again without any punishment. Only Lee Mason knows how he stayed on the pitch to help United pull back from a 2-0 deficit to win 4-2. 7) Chelsea 0 Manchester United 1 (April 6) When Ferguson recounts the decisions made in Chelsea's favour in key clashes, he forgets to mention this one - Patrice Evra clearly brought down Ramires late in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. There's no guarantee that Frank Lampard would have converted the penalty but he should have at least had the chance. This time Spanish referee Alberto Mallenco was the culprit. 8) Newcastle United 0 Manchester United 0 (April 19) "When it happened, I was quite sure that there was an offence, and now that I've seen the situation on television, I am still surprised that I did not get it. It was a clear-cut penalty, because he removed my legs." Something may have been lost in the translation of Peter Lovenkrands' quotes but he clearly thinks he should have had a penalty after clashing with Anderson in the area during a bore draw. 9) Manchester United 1 Everton 0 (April 23) 'Twice the Merseysiders made valid penalty appeals - and twice they were rejected by the Northamptonshire whistle-blower,' was the verdict of the Sunday Mirror after referee Walton (he of the Blackpool non-penalty) waved away claims after Jonny Evans clashed with Jermaine Beckford and then - rather more notably - Rio Ferdinand pushed Victor Anichebe in the back to send the striker to the floor. The game has been 0-0 until Javier Hernandez' late winner. 10) Arsenal 1 Manchester United 0 (May 1) Referee Chris Foy cannot be blamed for this one but asistant referee Andy Garratt contrived to miss a blatant handball from Nemanja Vidic to stop Robin van Persie heading home. If spotted, Vidic's interjection would have seen the Serb sent off and Arsenal handed an early penalty. "I think the first one is difficult for anybody to see," said Ferguson. "That mere flick of the ball, a touch, you don't expect the linesman or referee to see that."
