It was good to have a ref who clearly was NOT having loads of players in his ear all the time. Pretty much every occasion someone came over to hassle him, he waved them away. Pity Attwell at Spurs last week didn't take the same approach - but then, you need a ref with authority to carry it off, and refs who are crap don't have that authority.
I also very much liked the fact that he allowed Enciso to fully celebrate his wonder goal. From recollection he stood there watching the celebrations for ages - most refs would have got all uppity and tried to herd us back to the centre spot.
