I was going to ask why Bramall couldn't have just gone to
Swansea - but this week's PL appointments explain why (JG on
Chelsea).

Yeah does seem strange. Like if Hooper didn’t get injured then
I’d assume these appointments would’ve stayed the same which
suggests they would’ve been looking at someone else for
Tottenham v Chelsea - wonder who that would’ve been.

Nearly got the whole team right at Cardiff on the PAR!
I’d say as Stuart Attwell done the final I think 3 years ago,
the others are the main contenders for the final showpiece. I’d
say Harrington or England, probably edging more with England.
Barrott will have plenty of time to referee the finals.

Think Jones and Gillett will be in the conversation.

Personally, i think it will either be Simon Hooper or Andy
Madley.
Peter Bankes might also be in with a chance, I always remember
that him, Paul Tierney and David Coote all gave up their FIFA
badges for the next generation and Bankes has been the only one
yet to be given the EFL final.

With Liverpool and Everton out of the equation, Bankes, Gillett
and Jones head the list IMO.
However, Harrington deserves it so far this season with his good
performances.
