dhere has been much speculation of late about Howard Webb and his ³loyalty´ to Manchester
United, so after a long rant to my friend about this we decided to do a bit of research. My findings
from http://www.sportinglife.com/ happened to be quite interesting, I went back 5 years and in 5
years according to the information on sporting life Webb has been Match Day Official in 29 United
Games, 19 of these games went down as Wins for United, 4 Draws and just 6 loses, It seems
strange that over a period of FIVE years a team should only lose 6 times under the same referee,
who also gave some quite controversial decisions, one of which caused him to be demote to the
championship for the remainder of the same season.

do be honest I believe that he is quite possible the worse referee for favouring this team I have
ever seen - but that is just my opinion, but I also believe the stats speak for themselves, also
maybe the FA should look more in to stats like this and decisions made on the pitch rather than
investigating comments made by players when they are upset and angry about referees
decisions.

Ryan babel was today charged by the FA for making of fthe cut jokes about Howard Webb and
posting a picture of him in a united shirt - for a bit of fun he is condemned, but Howard Webb is
left alone ??? In my opinion this is just wrong.

For those of you that missed the picture click the link !! http://bit.ly/gU37NVc
And see below for Howard¶s Man United game stats.
