Villa - Top of the league

[old man villa fan]

As it is Christmas and I have time on my hands I thought I would investigate to see if we are hard done by in the eyes of the referees.

Well, here is the table and we are top of the fouls/card (least fouls per card).

Team              Fouls  Cards  Fouls/card Villa                 200     45        4.44 Arsenal            202     45        4.49 Sunderland       228     50        4.56 Chelsea            195     39        5.00 Man City           230     44        5.23 Liverpool          186     35        5.31 Newcastle         220     41        5.37 Everton            178     33        5.39 Hull                  216     40        5.40 Stoke               243     43        5.65 Man Utd           224     39        5.74 Spurs               237     41        5.78 Burnley            196     33        5.94 Swansea          217     35        6.20 West Ham        225     36        6.25 QPR                 203     32        6.34 WBA                215     31         6.94 Leicester          248     32         7.75 Southampton    238     28        8.50 Palace              258     30        8.60

Statistically, Palace have committed almost twice the number of fouls before a card has been issued compared with Villa and Warnock was always going on about referees being against them.

We might not be able to agree on the spelling of this but at least we can all agree on what a great job Paul Lambert is doing.

He really is smashing every record out of sight.

Nah, this is one of those things that has a correct spelling and an incorrect spelling

I'm not sure this is a 'Paul' inflicted record.

Isn't it Chump?

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm sure Lambert watched the game against Sunderland and thought this is absolute shite , the fans are going to crucify me.

Then a ray of light , Delph gets a red card.    thank f##k I've got my ten man excuse he would be thinking.

[Dave]

On the bright side, we're still remarkably efficient - 1.9 points per goal scored. Next best in the league is 1.3 points per goal.

Everton have only got 0.7 points per goal scored.
