I said before the Wolves games I fancied us for 3 on the spin before lathering on the sun screen, donning the shades, and in Chippy's case putting on the mustard deck shorts, cherry flip flops and tying a mustard hankie on his head.
Referee: Tony Harrington. Only 1 premier game reffed this season -- his one and only game was in December of last year Assistants: Ian Hussin, Mark Scholes. Fourth official: Kevin Friend. 15 premier games reffed this season VAR: Craig Pawson. Assistant 22 premier games reffed this season VAR: Simon Bennett. why are we still the training ground for inexperienced refs is it because if they make a mistake they will say 'it was only Newcastle' our last 3 home game refs had amassed a total of 16 games between them
Tough game, they've been excellent defensively. I think this one will be tight but I'm hoping they suffer from the cup game efforts, and we run out 2-0 winners. Bruno and Wood picking up the goals.
Buzzing to get to SJP for this one! Taking the Mrs to her first game as well so hopefully it's a good one but I'm slightly pessimistic about this one! Palace are a wounded animal and I suspect they will be out for blood in this one, whereas we are pretty much safe for the year and I'm worried the lads will be on holiday now! Tough end to end game vs Leicester on Sunday with a few looking dead on their feet by the end of it. Going with a 1-1 draw for this one and would snatch your hand off for a point right now.
Don't know what Sky Sports showed, but they must have had Spielberg directing it if it came across as end to end the other day
We countered well and got forwards quickly on a good number of breaks - but yeah we were a little bit camped in for periods!
