Premiership Disciplinary Charts

Blackburn's Tugay is top of the player charts after his red card against Man City a few weeks back but the Turk has only one game to his name so we must focus our attentions elsewhere. One surprise is to see Aston Villa's John Carew with a huge 20 fouls committed - I guess he really is getting in the face of defenders but you don't really want a foul happy striker in your team do you? The usual hard men make up the rest of the positions - I can't imagine Shaun Wright-Phillips popping up anywhere. A small pattern I have noticed: There are no Liverpool players in the list, make of this what you want but I personally feel that it reflects the fact that they probably have the World's best possession winning midfield and they calmed down Momo Sissoko a bit.

Team Disciplinary Charts
We can see from the team charts that Chelsea are kicking their way to the top whilst Arsenal have decided, as usual, to not get involved too much in the hacking game. Tottenham, menawhile, could be interpreted as not kicking enough crap...
