Just to let everyone know that the game on Sunday will be refereed by Mike Riley, who along with fan's favourite Graham Poll is the 'highest scoring' referee in the Premiership. He has refereed 14 games this season and sent 5 players off and dished out 54 yellow cards. According to the BBC statistics that gives him an 'average' of 4.21, which puts him at the top of the referee's list. Just in case you weren't sure, that means he is the referee most prone to reaching for his pocket.He has referred two Arsenal games this season: the frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Everton and the comfortable 4-0 win at home to Charlton. In those two games he only booked two Arsenal players. Let's hope he keeps control of the match on Sunday because if the winner of the match is decided on quality of football and not dodgy referee decisions or poor refereeing, Arsenal will prevail.
