This season has been memorable where referees are concerned for all the wrong reasons and this article in itself is indicative of how much rests upon the appointed card flourisher, such is the unfortunate notoriety in 2012 that comes with making unfathomable decisions.
You won't find many Citizens of Planet Blue with bad words for Mr. Dean. Certainly not in this campaign. He's widely regarded in the game as one of the best men in the middle. He has reffed City on 4 occasions this season. All at home and all resounding wins:
City 4 - 0 Swansea
City 3 - 0 Stoke
City 3 - 0 Fulham
City 2 - 1 Chelsea
Dean's record this season is 42 games, 143 yellow and 4 red cards.
Meanwhile...
You won't find many Stretfords in the Home Counties with bad words for Mr. Webb, either...
So far this season he's looked after United 5 times, his Chelsea penalty double being noteable.
Utd 8 - 2 Arsenal
QPR 0 - 2 Utd
Newcastle 3 - 0 Utd
Chelsea 3 - 3 Utd
Blackburn 0 - 2 Utd
Webb's record this season is 46 games, 154 yellow and 5 red cards.
- For the record fellow conspiracy theorists, Webb has officiated 5 City games this season. The Blues have won 4 and drawn 1.

Well, all the best. Hes another U*d homeboy
Sajit
Actually Sajit, Mike Dean is one of the few refs that hasn't screwed us this season, and is to my mind one of the least error prone and most even handed officials there is. More worried about Coward Webb refereeing the rags TBH!
fifthcolumnblue
really? Hes the 12th man in Arsenal - Utd games.. every single time.
Sajit
Think that's because slur alex puts the fear of god into all refs! How else do you think they keep scraping along?
fifthcolumnblue
they are all better than that waste of space attwell. i remember us playing wolves at home and wolves were kicking lumps out of us all game yet the final foul count stood something like wolves 5 city 21 (an abnormally large number for any game, let alone for a side that controls possession as much as we do)
redwhiteandbluemoon
Spot on about Atwell mate, thankfully he was demoted earlier in the year, awful ref.
Bluedub
Stuart Atwell. I presume the "Tw" is silent?
fifthcolumnblue
I left our 3-1 win over Wolves actually ANGRY because of Atwell. This wasn't simply a contentious refereeing performance, this was blatant one-sidedness playing out before our very eyes.
StuMCFC
I was going mental at that game. The weirdest thing we saw on the TV later was that when he went off after each half Attwell looked really angry and fired up!
