Good Ref - would have preferred him against Wolves as seems unfazed by the big games.

Hopefully we start getting decisions going our way over next 8 games. We’ve had some shocking refs and in spite of them we are doing bloody well. The ref was villas 12th man on Saturday night and Fulham got away with a blatant penalty on Saturday.

Probably one of the better Premiership referees
