Muamba: Football world brought together in hope of a full recovery
The sight of the prone figure of Fabrice Muamba on the White Hart Lane pitch early on Saturday
evening was one that shocked football to the extent that Real Madrid players sported wording on
their match shirts wishing him a full recovery the following evening.
People tended to mock me in previous seasons for complaining about poor refereeing, but I moaned
because I felt the decisions had a decisive impact.
It's one of the reasons the 'seven seasons without a trophy' line doesn't bother me. Go back to the
2008 season: with some better decisions we could easily have won the League and the Champions
League.
In the last few minutes of Manchester United's game against Chelsea today, Chelsea defender David Luiz got into a tussle with Manchester United right back Rafael da Silva. The end result was Da Silva whacking out at Luiz's legs, which sent the Chelsea player to the ground, clutching his knees.
While Da Silva thoroughly deserved to receive the red card from referee Howard Webb, Luiz will have won very few fans by his sheepish grin and smile he gave while laying on the Old Trafford pitch.
Stamford Chidge is joined by Dazza, Pablo, Celery Terrorist and Lauren and special guests Expose Designs, @ChelseaChadder, @ChelseaStats and Felipe from Chelsea News Brasil. The Man Utd mugging at the hands of Mark Clattenburg may or may not be discussed! Mugged, robbed, stitched up, unbelievable but oh so predictable.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Sunday, 7th Oct. Kick off: 4:00pm Referee: Howard Webb. UK TV: Sky Sports 1. Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our "match banter" feature for this afternoon's home game against Manchester United. Well, there isn't much we don't know about this lot, not that it has helped us much!
Venue: The Wonga Loan Shark Arena? Date: Sunday, 7th Oct. Kick off: 4:00pm Referee: Howard Webb (Manchester United). UK TV: Sky Sports 1. Once again, Manchester United will, very helpfully, be bringing their own referee along for this game. Of course, I am referring to Howard Webb, who they also kindly brought along for the [.
Tottenham return to 'Chamber of Horrors'. Will United win AGAIN? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Saturday afternoon's late kick-off sees Andre Villas-Boas's Tottenham side travel north to Old Trafford to face the mighty Manchester United.
Old Trafford may be the Theatre of Dreams but for Tottenham it has been a Chamber of Horrors, with Spurs without a win in 23 years at Old Trafford and 20 of their last 23 matches there being defeats.
Some players have always gone down too easily, there is no denying that, and it happens on
numerous occasions in every game but the spotlight comes in high profile situations.
Speculation has been rife in recent weeks, especially with the actions of Manchester United's
Ashley Young. The pacy winger has won his side two crucial penalties in their title run-in despite
clearly going to ground far too easily on both occasions.
What was a dream at 3-0 quickly morphed into a nightmare near full time for the Chels, as
Manchester United with a helping hand from good friend Howard Webb clawed back to secure a 3-3 draw
in a breathless encounter at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
FA officials studying the video of Manchester City's 3-0 win over Liverpool have retrospectively
awarded Martin krtel an imaginary three game ban following Roberto Mancini's persuasive waving of
an imaginary card.
The Imaginary Appeal panel is set to meet on Thursday to imagine what punishment they imagine
would be appropriate.
So when pundits say the title race isn't over till it's over, it looks like it might actually
not be. Although it probably is. Well done to United and Chelsea, and Arsenal for that matter, and
almost certainly the officials at Stamford Bridge who have kept the race alive, although having not
lost a single game at Old Trafford this season, United are still very much in the driving seat;
Hernandez is probably riding shotgun.
Howard Webb will take charge of Sunday's potential title decider at Old Trafford. Now, before
you sink your pain into some unlucky bloke's face, do we as Chelsea supporters even have reason to
be upset?
The new cost of a Photoshop licence There has been a lot of talk recently about celebrities with
large Twitter followings being paid large sums of money to post sponsored tweets. But Liverpool
winger Ryan Babel has found out that it cuts both ways. He has been handed a £10,000 fine for the
now infamous [.
"Too many tweets make a tw*t" On football's new media world order is a post from: Just

Remember The Jetsons? How it was considered a realistic representation of the future, how we all
thought the future would involve driving around in hover cars with robot cleaners to do the
dishes?
Can't help but smile! The King is back...Liverpool bowed out of the FA Cup yesterday after a 1-0
defeat at the hands of Manchester United. In a strange sort of after match feeling though, for
once, everything seems and feels ok. It's all down to seeing the legend that is Kenny Dalglish
standing on the sidelines at Old Trafford yesterday.
Naughty naughty Ryan Above is a picture of Howard Webb mocked up in a Manchester United shirt, as
provided to the world by Liverpool player Ryan Babel on Twitter, less than four hours after their
game had ended. After their defeat to Manchester United, Babel tweeted the following message: And
they call him one of [.
I write this part way through the match! All the talk before the match (refreshingly) is about
the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool Manager and not about the Mancs. Howard Webb soon
puts an end to that and gives Man Utd a penalty after Berbatov dives in the box in the first
minute. Later in the first half he lets a 2 footed challenge by a Man Utd player go, only to send
off Gerrard for a similar challenge moments later.
1. For someone who didn't look like he was going to score in a month of Sundays from open play,
Wayne Rooney sure celebrated that penalty with some enthusiasm. 2. Manchester United players and
Rangers stewards are both very slow. Not only did that United fan beat all Rooney's team-mates to
be the first man [.
The derby game on Sunday between Newcastle and Sunderland was shockingly refereed by none other than Howard Web, England's World Cup referee in 2010. Howard Webb drops down two leagues Howard had a stinker in the game, and disallowed what could have been a vital equalizing Newcastle goal by Papiss Cisse for offside, when [.
Demba Ba was given a rare start by Rafa Benitez in his return to Newcastle and short of losing a thumb and forgetting how to read, it was pretty much as awful as it could've possibly been. Chelsea came back from 1-0 down to take a 2-1 lead in the second half but eventually lose 3-2 -- a result that would've been painful enough for Ba even without getting his nose broken before halftime.
1. One fan took Newcastle's FA Cup knockout a bit too literally. Just ask Stevenage defender Scott
Laird. 2. Lee Hughes: FA Cup giantkiller. Sounds like there should be a custodial sentence
attached. 3. Kenny Dalglish will reflect that 30secs might be the shortest lived period of euphoria
in the history of managerial returns.
Howard Webb has been named as the referee for Sunday's Premier League clash between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford. It will be the first time the Rotherham official has taken charge of one of the biggest domestic club fixtures in world football since the two contested an FA Cup tie in January 2011.
The great irony here being that if it was Peter Crouch, it 100% would have gone inFootball, the
great reducing force in all our lives. If Jermain Defoe had stretched for that Bale cross just a
millisecond earlier, we'd all be headed to work this morning without that overbearing sense of
melancholy that you're probably still feeling.
If referee Howard Webb read Marca, he would know he is not so popular
in Spain. The Spanish sports daily labelled him 'an enemy' in their 2010 People of the Year
Awards. But overall 2010 wasn't a bad year for the Yorkshireman despite being booed (possibly by
both sets of supporters, such was the volume) as he and his assistants collected their medals for
officiating the World Cup Final.
World Cup final ref honoured by the Queen Premier League referee Howard Webb has been awarded an
MBE. It is unclear whether the honour has been bestowed for his refereeing or for services to
policemen taking no action against unprovoked assaults they have witnessed. We would suggest the
decision was a kick in the teeth [.

You're not going down too easily, Seasiders Leading Premier League referee Howard Webb has visited
Blackpool to tell their players to dive more often, according to Seasiders defender Ian Evatt. The
Premier League newcomers received the visit as part of an FA initiative to build better
relationships between players and match officials.
Forget player training camps or Platini's excursion to the chocolate factory,
the UEFA Referee Workshop is the most important activity before the EURO
2012 kicks off next month. For the next two days, 11 of the world's top referees including
Viktor Kassai, Wolfgang Stark, Carlos Velasco Carballo and Howard
Webb (we can read your faces through the screen right now) will be in Warsaw, Poland to
attend workshop asnd training sessions.
As you would have all seen by now, David Luiz is taking huge amounts of stick because of this image above. Some people are moaning about the fact that he is smiling and because he stayed on the floor which people believe influenced Howard Webb's decision to send Rafael off!
In Jose Mourinho's post-match interview with ITV, the Real Madrid manager dropped another major hint that he'll be moving to England this summer to manage one of the top teams in the Premier League.
Speaking after Real Madrid got knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Borussia Dortmund, Mourinho was asked whether he would be with Real Madrid next season.
The story of United's 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday can be summarised as follows: Van Persie, Vidic and Sturridge grab goal headlines, while Ferguson's big calls pay dividends as Howard Webb and Brendan Rodgers get it horribly wrong. The game passed without too much controversy, that is it did, apart from the part played by Howard Webb and Liverpool's Glen Johnson, more on
Best tackle of 2010, no doubt about it at least for our purposes of entertainment.
Not quite the best refereeing decision, since it only merited a yellow card from Howard Webb,
which is arguably one of the worst decisions of the year certain when relative to the stage of the
game.
