No surprise to see Oliver at Anfield, albeit not with one of his
usual partners.
Taylor for us, and a decent game for Harrington at the Etihad,
and Jones back at the SoL in quick time.
All the big hitters get tv games again… another safety first
batch of appointments?

Does anyone know why Oliver’s second AR changes so frequently?
Is it his choice? He’s had Bennett, Cook and Mainwaring over the
last few years and now Tim Wood for this game. Whereas Taylor
99% of the time is in a team with Nunn and Beswick. Thanks!

Can Mainwaring do either Liverpool or Man United due to
supporting either team?

A fully bald on-field team at Tottenham! Nearly a whole fully
bald team for that game, except from Betts on AVAR!
Good appointments all-round - Oliver, Kavanagh and Hooper with
the big games for the weekend! Taylor and Madley with the London
derbies!
Another great 4th Official appointment for Tom Kirk!

Mainwaring doesn't appear to be appointed to Manchester City or
United matches.

The first thing that strikes me with these appointments is
repetition.
Oliver had Liverpool in week 4 (I think) and he also had this
fixture last season. a) Would’ve like to see a different name on
this fixture b) Think it’s too quick to give Oliver another
Liverpool game so soon.
Jones makes a return to the Stadium of Light albeit that was
week one. Same situation with Pawson regarding Newcastle (who
also had this fixture last season). And Hooper makes a very fast
return to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium after visiting in week
3. So personally I’m against all of this repetition this early
on in the season.
Tim Robinson’s first PL game back is likely between two
relegation candidates which is a bold move in my opinion.
Harrington with a good game as well which I like to see.
And a mention for all the SG2 4Os - Doughty, Backhouse, and
Toner - not forgetting Tom Kirk who gets another decent 4O
appointment this season to continue his good form.

Guess Taylor and Gillet will be candidates for the grey slate.
Nice set of appointments. Good game for Kav at Forest.

Howson and Aspinall back from injury in the championship.

That's a canny run back for Craig Pawson on Saturday night from
Brighton up to Liverpool for the following day.
Not the most environmentally friendly appointment I would have
thought.
