Taylor excellent ahain.got one corner wrong but overall excellent.
On villas possible offside,correct from gillett to stay out.no way could ya conclusively say it hit him although it looked like he did.
Taylor got to be short odds to be in St. James’s park next Sunday. No other option really.
Oliver to be at spurs
