Andy D'Urso will referee Sunday's game at Portsmouth. D'Urso has so far officiated in 13 Premiership matches this season and has produced two red cards, along with 46 yellow cards! Yes, 46 yellow cards in just 13 games! Jimmy Walker

THE MAN IN BLACK

Five of those yellow cards went to to Nigel Quashie, Steve Stone, Sebastian Schemmel, Boris Zivkovic and Yakubu in Portmsouth's game against Wolves at the Molineaux back in August.

Mr. D'Urso also booked three Wolves players that day - his highest amount of bookings in one match this season so far.

That was the only Premiership match that Mr. D'Urso has officated with Pompey this season. Lets hope he isn't as card happy tomorrow!
