2 Everton 20 3 26
3 Man Utd 27 1 29
4 Derby 32 0 32
5 Tottenham 34 1 36
6 Newcastle 38 0 38
Reading 30 4 38

Birmingham 38 0 38
10 Man City 36 2 40

14 Sunderland 36 4 44
Aston Villa 38 3 44

17 Middlesbroug 46 0 46

19 Chelsea 42 5 52
20 Blackburn 43 5 53

No surprise to see Blackburn and Chelsea at the bottom, cheating kunts.

I sometimes wonder if we arn't a bit too nice, and that if we had a player (or two) that "got stuck in" a bit more we might see the benefits. Mascherano, Sissoko and Gerrard all know how to put a bit of bite in a tackle but we haven't had a player that puts the fear of god into the opposition(from a physical point of view) for a long time now.

Even our back four is hardly intimidating, and Sami has probably fewer booking than any other CB over the last few years.

Carragher got away with many tackles that deserved a booking this season.

sneaky fella i tell you

We seem to be always top of the fair play league or thereabouts.

Mascha's a good tackler, and Momo a clumbsey one. I'd be scared of Momo if he came flying in on me, I'd be frightened of loosing one of me testies.

But as for a hard man, I think football has gone to soft for them now, imagine having Souness playing for us now. The F.A would deem him insane, and ban him every month of the bleeding footballing calender.

Even Carra is hardly intimidating. I was watching an interview with Steve Heighway the other night (old one) and he was saying that it always made him more relaxed when Smith was playing because he knew that if he got chopped down, by the time he got up Smith would be stood over him telling the offender just what he was going to do to him if he did it again

Imagine Smithy. Case and cant forgetJoey Jones he couldnt play football but he would kill for us

can i also add that we are top in my football manager 2008 first season

i managed to sell sissoko for 8 million and got rid of crouch for 10 and got in defoe and quaresma and we are now dominant

Not saying they didnt Leon mate but Joey wassnt the most accomplished ball player and some of the tackles he did make we all used to laugh at . He played with his heart on his sleeve and would die for that red shirt but a great ball winner no

When you see this table in any country normally the first placed in the table is not the champion of the league, so particularly I don't like this table too much.

It's a good sign and talks well about the players' concentration and discipline when you don't receive many red cards, but I wouldn't mind if we were a bit more aggresive when it comes to some tackles and we had some more yellows.

Thats true s@int, but he did some tackles in some games this season that looked intimidating (ex. Everton) and got away with it, maybe sometimes our players do play a bit nasty but hide it away from the ref (in the case of Bolton with Big fat Sam).

Ahhh Joey 'bite ya legs' Jones, what a player, and Tommy Smith was mint :nod

Souness was as tough tackling as they were and use to take the man too, just to make sure :;):

That was cruel mate, I fell for that one hook line and sinker when we signed him. In fact I think the last "real" bet I ever had was on us winning the league the season he came
