Haven't seen it posted but it's good ol' Howard Webb.

Rags get Michael Oliver, because obviously, they need the best young ref to erm...do what they do with refs.

Howard's actually been good to us this season but I've still not forgiven him for Chelski/Rags.

No problem with Webb.

Howard Webb is Lou Macari's son.
Look,I know he isn't really,but if we pretend he is then maybe kiam will start another conspiracy thread,because we haven't had one for at least five minutes.

not a problem for me. he may give some soft decisions to the rags but overall he's been decent in our games this season.

I hope the rags get Oliver all fucking year. Since about 1/5 of their wins are ref gifted.

At least it's not Walton or Mason!

Hope Mr Dean is ok for us on Wednesday!

Webb's not the worst, or even anywhere near to the worst. Thought he handled the whole situation at Spurs last saturday brilliantly. Let's face facts; if we get back to our early season form, we should be good enough to beat Stoke, even if Peter Coates' son was reffing the game.

It doesn't matter who it is, he will have received his instructions ...." Do nothing blatant unless City score and then send 3 City players off .............
and award 2 last minute penalties to Stoke if they are still winning ..... and then abandon the game if Stoke miss them." sorry just thought I'd join in.

Webb is OK when he's not officiating the rags, he suddenly turns into the most bent referee alive when under their spell.

We'll need to play close to our very best to beat Stoke away, good referee or not. The team that rolled over pitifully at the Etihad is not the team that plays at the Britannia stadium, they are like men transformed and we've yet to take 3pts from there since the takeover.

actually your not to far off the mark there....
