According to Sky Sports, Liverpool’s ‘lucky ref’ is Craig Pawson!

This Saturday though we’ve got Andre Mariner, while our pal Pawson does the Sunderland v Arsenal game!
Elsewhere in the Sky Sports study, it was pretty revealing to discover that Manchester United have won 91.7% of games reffed by Jonathan Moss, while our rivals Everton have a penchant for Neil Swarbick – because they win 62.5% of the games when he’s in charge…

(Especially Pawson!)
