Dirtiest Players/teams last season

Ignoring strikers, Adam, Song and Fellaini get the Mr Nasty Awards.

 

I don't think that comparison really gives a true indicator of who's dirty.
Holt's physical and combative, so he'll give lots of fouls away when challenging for headers and hustling defenders, but he's not really dirty, for me.
Barry and Cattermole are level, but I think that we all know who's more likely to make a filthy challenge.

City give away a lot of fouls when they're not in possession because they're cynical.
They lose the ball and take someone out to stop the break.

 

Wolves were a "clean" team because they couldn't get near enough to their opponents to clatter them.

 

Karl Henry was arguably the dirtiest in the league. It depends how you judge it, whether it's dangerous tackles, cynical fouls, diving, etc.

 

can't believe charlie adam only ranks at 6th, and along way behind Grant Holt.

 

Strikers tend to foul differently, pushes and tugs to gain a small advantage. Defenders/defensive mids tend to be the cynical ****ers.
