Happy to see a different name on Man Utd vs Liverpool. If I’m
being honest, I do think there are more deserving candidates but
still a massive game for England and a good chance to show why
he should get some more of these games.
Bramall with a nice Friday night fixture. Barrott with a big
game at Villa Park and Oliver with an important one too.

Good appointments for Bramall, England and Barrott!
Attwell and/or Salisbury looking likely to be in the
Championship.

Very happy with Gillett at Arsenal, huge game for Barrott at
Villa and standard appointments for Oliver and Taylor on the
bank holiday.
I would have thought Jones would have been a strong candidate
for the huge Fulham v Bournemouth game as he’s yet to officiate
us since Chelsea away, way back in August of last year.

I think that’s a massive appointment for England, as I said a
couple of months ago , around 2 years ago he was superb but
since he’s suffered a huge loss of form , I don’t feel he’s
reached anywhere near those heights since , I know plenty will
disagree but I think he can be ok or he can have a bad day ever
since he doesn’t seem to have great games. I think it could be a
stop start game and will test him I hope he passes it with
flying colours and builds on it next season

Salisbury won’t be - he’s in Stockley Park on Saturday.
I think Attwell is pretty much a shoe-in at Wrexham myself.

1 year and 1 day since Paul Howard made his Premier League VAR
debut.
In that time, he has established himself as one of the best in
Stockley Park. That was not something I expected to write a year
ago. Massive well done to him because he’s been exceptional.

Surprised with england. He’s closer to bottom than top of
pecking order of sg1(imo). I would have loved bramall or barrott
on this.

Based on the AR's appointed I would assume Brooks is in the
championship and not Attwell.
