  Wasn't Moss the referee when Helenius was through on goal and the Vertonghen pulled his shorts down, but we didn't get a penalty?
  
  Don't think he's usually that bad a ref.
  

  
  Yep, he refereed that one.
  
  This season he's only reffed our Premier League games against Albio (1 win, 1 draw) - no red cards.
  
  He's reffed 1 Arsenal game - a 2-1 win at home to Palace, sent Puncheon off last minute.
  
  Last season he reffed a 4-0 and 3-0 loss against Spurs, a 2-2 draw against Liverpool - he gave that Suarez penalty to give them a point; and the 3-2 win away to Southampton.

  Nope, Blackburn, Preston, West Brazil, Wolves, Forest and both Sheffield clubs have successes in the 19th and 20th Centuries so we'd best win next month to be on the safe side.

• I could be wrong but I thought Forest had only won it once, in 1959?

  Jon Moss is refereeing.  Wasn't he the drummer in Culture Club?
  

  
  Yes that's him and he makes the assistants flags from his old drum sticks.

• Jo n Moss, the slowest, fattest ref in the league on the biggest pitch....should guarantee plenty of Dowdesque guesswork from 40 yards away going on.
  
  Will it be us or the gooners who are slaughtering him the day after?
