Are Any select group refs doing championship games this weekend?

"good to see Tierney getting Man Utd V Tottenham"

I have to say Readingfan that my immediate reaction to this appointment was not one of tidings of great joy.  Of course, I deny absolutely any suggestion of bias because on his appearance at OT early in the season, when Palace were the visitors, he failed to send off Cahill or in a separate incident award United a penalty!?

However, as we approach the Christmas season, I shall drum up as much goodwill as I can muster and hope Mr Tierney performs to his potential.

Now where's that smiley emoticon for a quick reply .....

Any referee can have a bad game and I agree that Tierney did on that occasion - but one poor performance doesn't make a referee. I think Tierney has generally done well since being promoted to the SG1, is a FIFA referee, did the Championship play-off final last season, and he (along with the likes of Kavanagh and Pawson) needs to be given games such as this one to extend his development.

Oh dear; I think my attempt at light-heartedness passed over heads.  My fault; humour doesn't always work in writing.  Of course I agree 1 bad game doesn't mean a poor referee.  And for the record, I do hope Paul Tierney has a good game.

It may be a mid-table contest but not without interest and perhaps an extra bite given that a certain Jose Mourinho is back at Old Trafford. 

First time Mr Kavanagh in the middle for a Man City game?

Does anyone know how many PL games Mike Dean is now on? He must be on course to get to 500 in the next couple of months.

Is Peter Bankes SG1 or SG2?

I wonder if we might see some of the SG2 guys with middles over the festive period, given that there's so many games on the horizon?
