Plenty of Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have had their say on Twitter after it was announced that Stuart Attwell will be refereeing their match against Spurs on the weekend.
The official will have the helping hand from Simon Hooper, who will be the video assistant referee for the important clash as both sides look to thrust themselves towards the Champions League spots.
So far this season, the referee has been in charge of two Wolverhampton games, including the previous game between these two sides.
He also officiated the Crystal Palace game at Selhurst Park, where he sent off Romain Saiss for two yellow card offences.
Did we do enough business in January?
Absolutely not. We're well short
Unsure - will depend on keeping everyone fit
Yes, we don't need to add anymore
Wolves fans didn’t seem particularly happy about the situation when fan account @TalkingWolves tweeted about the decision.
One fan asked ‘WHY?’, while another suggested that ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’.
Here are some of the replies below…
WHY

We’ve scored too many goals in the last week obviously…. they need to put a stop to it

The experienced Attwell, 37, has already refereed 21 appearances this season, with this upcoming one being his 15th in the Premier League.
So far from his 21 games, he has dished out 104 yellow cards, and three reds (with two coming from second yellows), as well as six penalty kicks.
Fans have complained, but they’ve got a referee who is experienced in both the Premier League and the Europa League. And, plus, with VAR nothing can possibly go wrong, right?
