It was a decision that no doubt changed the outcome of the game. Howard Webb’s decision to award Manchester United a penalty this afternoon was simply disgraceful.

Anyone, even the most ardent of United fans, who saw the game would have to admit that Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes should never have been penalised for his supposed “foul” on Michael Carrick.

As we all know, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the penalty. Having scored the penalty, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men were simply unstoppable. The current Premier League Champions went on to win the game 5-2, however the decision to award the penalty has got everyone talking.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp had this say about the matter: “It was a terrible decision. He’s (Gomes) clearly got the ball. He (Webb) is supposed to be the best referee in the country. On that performance today, I’d hate to see the worst.”

Even Ferguson admitted after the match that it was a poor decision.

Another incident that annoyed me was Webb’s decision not to book Ronaldo for his foul on Aaron Lennon. The Portuguese winger cynically fouled the Spurs man, however Webb decided not to book FIFA World Player of the Year. Just 20 minutes later Ronaldo was booked for taking his jersey off whilst celebrating United’s third goal.

That would have meant that United would have been down to ten men and who knows what meant have happened then.

The award of the penalty will no doubt have massive implications on the outcome of this Premier League season. Spurs’ chances of qualifying for the Europa League are now in serious doubt and United now look certainties to claim their 3rd title on the trot.

So what do you think? Comments below please.

What about that for an unbelievable game of football.

The first half was only OK but the second half was anything but OK. It was incredible.

In the end, tonight’s game at Anfield finished : Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal.

I don’t know about you, but I certainly think tonight’s game has been by far the best we’ve seen in the Premier League all season. Liverpool dominated for large parts, however Arsenal deserve a lot of credit for staying in it when they went 2-1 down.

Here are some things I think we can take from tonight’s game :

The fact that, four goal man Andrei Arshavin, can really cut it in England.

The title will now be heading for Old Trafford. Liverpool are now level on points with Manchester United, however Sir Alex Ferguson’s men now have two games in hand.

And finally, not that we didn’t know this one already but, the Premier League is most definitely the BEST league in the world.

Yes, this man, Joey Barton is set to return to the Newcastle United squad for next Monday’s must win game at home Portsmouth.

The 25-year old has been out of action for almost three months now with a broken foot, however he now looks set to play a major part in the Magpies fight for survival.

Alan Shearer’s men are currently four points adrift of Blackburn in 17th and are in desperate need of something or someone to keep them up, so could the man who has earned a reputation as one of the Premier League’s most hated individuals be the one to change things at St James’?

Who knows? Only time will tell.

But for me, I think Barton is just what Newcastle need. A real fighter. OK, he may not be the most talented player in the world, however whenever Joey Barton steps out on the field, you can guarantee one thing. That he will always give you 100%, no matter what.

So what do you think? Is Barton the men to lift Newcastle out of the drop zone and to Premier League safety or will he prove to be a liability in the final few games? Comments below please.
