       I think it's more to do with the limited options to do games
       like those instead of him and Michael Oliver.

       I don’t think just because Taylor and Oliver have Man City and
       Arsenal this week that they will be ruled out from Man City vs
       Arsenal, it’s over a month away. Pawson, Tierney or Attwell
       could get it anyway or someone like Brooks.
       There is also a NLD before that and a Manchester Derby shortly
       after.

       Yes, exactly that.
       I remember where there was a period around 2008 where Webb
       seemed to do virtually all the highest profile games for a while
       and I don't think it's an especially desirable situation. I
       think you'd ideally want at least half a dozen or so referees
       who you could rotate these games around rather than it mainly
       just being Taylor and Oliver.

       perhaps he getting the games because he's a better referee.
       I am sure Mr Webb will take into account your opinions on future
       occasions

       A slightly ridiculous take on things, Keith H. This is a message
       board where we put our opinions. It’s the whole point of the
       board, surely? We may not agree with everything but everyone is
       entitled to their opinion. Disagree and give your reasons,
       that’s what makes this forum one of the best. But to reply as
       you have done, “I’m sure Mr Webb will take your opinions into
       account in future”, is catty at best, but rather pathetic if I’m
       being honest

       It is sometimes said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but
       I disagree with that statement because I have rarely found
       sarcasm to be witty at all. Whenever I have said this to someone
       who has aimed sarcasm at me they invariably reply something
       along the lines of " I wasn't intending to be witty " which
       leaves me thinking they simply wanted to demean me and in that
       they have failed though possibly may have inflicted it on
       themselves.

       The irony that 1 person agreed and 1 person disagreed makes this
       potentially the most truthful opinion ever posted on here
