I hate the Spanish style of refereeing and their constant whistling, but they make less mistakes than their Italian and English counterparts. Also, i think its the complete opposite of what you said, in Italy the media especially after Calciopolli makes a big deal out of even the slightest of refereeing mistakes, while in England there is less focus on refs. Remember the United - Chelsea game at the end of last season, were both teams scored incorrect goals, imagine if that had happened in an Inter - Juve game, we wouldn't have heard the end of it.
Like i said, the standard of refereeing in the EPL is so poor, that even some of the big games are decided by refs
