    The bastards have changed our name behind our backs!

    Stoke City (2.15) and Sunderland (2.13) take second and third respectively while Hully City (2.09) take the final Champions League spot.

    You have to considerably redefine what 'dirty' is as the years have passed in football.

    The one thing Jose Altidore ever did for us was get us a spot in the top 4 of that league

    Presumably it just counts cards but that's not necessarily dirty. We've arguably been too nice during both of our PL stints. Red cards now are for silly reactions to being fouled often as not. Nowadays every penalty is a red card too.

    Aston Villa not on either list. Gareth Barry played for them so...

    Aye. Cards are thrown around far more readily these days than they where when the likes of Wimbledon and Oldham were in the premier league.

    It's a bullshit table.

    They should use fouls committed not bookings to decide this.

    Fouls/cards, same thing. The further back you go the more laughable the comparison is. This is why you get players falling all over the place now as you don't need much of a contact to get penalised.

    Interesting that both the top and bottom ten are mostly made up of pretty ****ing useless teams!
