Don't miss your chance for a free flutter on the game everyone's talking about with your paper. “It would be more, genuinely, for the supporters, for everyone connected with the club to embrace that moment if we were able to do it. “They've had a long wait for that moment and I know just from my very limited dealings with people around the city, the love they have for the football club. Two years on, though, Howe's team are pushing for European qualification either through the league of via a cup win. The match was being officiated by Michael Oliver, a referee who has made no secret of his support for [Newcastle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/newcastle-united-fc), who are due to face Manchester United in Sunday's Carabao Cup final. "Because Newcastle are invariably involved in a relegation battle, when you get to March or April, it means I can’t referee anyone around them towards the bottom three. “Obviously you can’t referee the club you support, so it must’ve been hard for them to find someone for the Carabao Cup final with Manchester United involved,” Carragher joked. "We have to declare if we have an allegiance to any club or if a family member works at a club. If Newcastle needed a point to survive and the team they were fighting to get above was say Villa, I couldn’t referee Villa’s game either. You can’t do any match involving that team and I can’t do Sunderland, either, for obvious reasons. It’s not worth the hassle." Oliver's allegiances mean he does not take charge of games involving the Magpies.
