    Given the original dispute is whether or not Parker is a dirty player, can you accept that you don't need to be dirty to get a booking. An interesting stat would be bookings per tackle. I'd lay my mortgage on the fact that Scholes has more bookings per tackle. Probably about 50% 1 warning then booked <laugh> Then doesn't tackle for the next several games.

    I don't know who has more bookings for his tackle but I suggest Giggs might need to be in there. <laugh>

    Just imagine the stretch marks that will develop and how saggy they'll be in a few years time.

    It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low -

    It brings a whole new meaning to your signature.

    This was a thread in praise of Parker and the only contribution LDL can make is negative. The worst thing is that he defends his comment as a "compliment" and that's what really riles me as everyone knows it's not. To claim that saying Parker can be dirty, puts in lots of niggly fouls and picks up lots of bookings is a compliment is an insult to everyone's intelligence.

    Then there's the fact that he's wrong.

    "always seems to be getting booked." Last season Parker got 8 yellow cards in 40 games. In the league he was joint 19th for cards with 9 other players.

    "But that's just what Spurs were missing before this season." Nope, we always have a defensive player like him who can break up the play, the difference is he's excellent at his job, whereas the others were good at best, oh and he can play a bit too which helps. Adebayor, a target man who can hold up the ball is something we were missing, Parker was just a huge upgrade on the type of player we always seem to have.

    I wouldn't expect a Man Utd fan to get their facts right about Spurs players all the time but I also wouldn't expect them to post so regularly on our board. If Lidls' interest in the Spurs board was matched by his interest in the club then he'd get on a lot better with us all.

    How many points did signing Carroll and his racist strike partner cost you?

    LDL.

    He got no more bookings than 11 other centre mids last season, give it up, his booking record really isn't that bad.

    In the first two games, we had Livermore, who was finding his feet and a half fit Huddlestone and Modric, plus Kranjcar whilst we were up against the top two teams. Who did the dm job previously? If you don't think Palacios, Zokora, King, Mendes, Sherwood, Redknapp(to an extent) or my (former) namesake Freund were played as defensive midfielders then we're simply never going to agree because you don't have enough grasp on Spurs players in even very recent history.

    Seeing as this post has been about "dirty players" and the Suarez article is now closed, this was about the only place for me to add this!

    On the subject of dirty challenges, is anyone watching the JPT game between Swindon and barnet?

    A barnet player just kneed a Swindon lad in the head, from head height! Straight red card, which begs the question about the deliberate challenge from Suarez last night and how he wasn't sent off!

    It was like something from a van damme movie!

    He's obviously been watching Suarez carefully and trying to make the headlines himself!

    A bit off topic lads, but it's worth seeing!

    Anyway, back to how dirty Parker is. Do carry on..

    Or, as has been successfully proven, how dirty he isn't when compared to other players.

    That was sarcastic, but unfortunately it's sometimes hard for it to come across in text. Refer to page 1 of this article where you'll see my only comment on the "Parker" subject.

    Hardly the point, Luke. Your original allegation was that Parker is a dirty player. He's not. Yes, he niggles, commits professional fouls,when necessary; but he's not essentially a dirty player. In other words, he doesn't deliberately set out to hurt another professional. Unlike a certain Charlie Adam! Now, there's a truly dirty player!
