Wrong calls Against City 3 23,08%
Against Everton 10 76,92%
Total 13

This was a classic example of what I would call a home ref. The majority of the good calls for the home team and the majority of the wrong calls also going to the home team.

Backing out of some decisions to go against the home team. A typical Webb weakness in my opinion. And a yellow card for ….well nothing in fact against the visiting team. I think he booked the whole visiting midfield in a the first half hour.

The most strange thing was the way that he just refused to give any free kick close to the City penalty area. On 3 occasions he just did nothing when he Everton player was clearly fouled. Was it the presence of Baines who can score from those angles that stopped him?

The final score was just acceptable at the end of the day after a really poor first half.

  1. ok this is off topic but have you guys seen this? http://yfrog.com/khhpdhkj a section of our supposed “fans” are going to unveil this against sunderland…please i call for every arsenal fan who is going to attend the next home game make these guys look like complete tools..let “one Arsene Wenger” ring out through the match and let it be heard and show our beloved manager its only a bunch of idiots who want him out..there is only one Arsene Wenger

  2. Shocking stuff Mahdain. Wish I was going. I would make my own ‘One Arsene Wenger’ banner and take it along.

  3. pat no need to worry…if le groove and a bunch of his fellow idiots can organise one why not us? sensible arsenal fans on twitter have organised a banner in support of wenger..all thanks to ladyarse.com(@ladyarse) and she got someone to fund the banner and here it is http://yfrog.com/nxrh6owj a good move to show our manager that we still want him and he is still the best…

  5. @mahdain

    You misunderstand the ones who came up with the ‘It’s time to say goodbye’ banner. It is THEY who are leaving Arsenal for whatever reason, but even then they chose to thank Arsene for all the happy memories he gave them. Too bad they won’t be around to share the new memories made. I feel sorry for them.

  6. @shard the way these people abuse wenger its unreal…this is the same wenger who won us DOUBLES,the same wenger whose players wooed people with how the play across the world,the same wenger who led to us to the champions league final which we only lost thanks to the ref on a back of 10 consecutive clean sheets and ofcourse he is the same wenger who made an unconquerable team which went on a long unbeaten league run which once again was ended by the refs…even with his 20+yrs at united with all refs at his disposal fergie has not been able to do wat wenger did and thats creating an INVINVIBLES side and yet the same wenger is being abused and deduced to nothing? seriously sometimes i wonder why they even call themselves arsenal fans

  7. Sadly, you know already that the only banner that the director of Sky/ESPN chooses to show is the one from LeGrovel.

  8. I was wondering – knowing that Webb is a home ref – have we ever had Webb at home or mostly away, particularly Old Trafford? And if we have had him at home, did he, god forbid, favour the Arsenal?

  10. @Micko

    That’s a great link, and kudos to Roy Keane for saying what he did, while he was still a Premier League manager at that.

  11. Just stumbled across the sight. How come you are biased against Everton? Only fair review is unsurprisingly against united, or games were the ref has had nothing to do. Kompany should of been off in this game for a disgusting 2 footed challenge on Cahill.
