I don't have us down as a dirty team, but this suggests otherwise:

I think we're quite a physical, niggly team at the moment and we try not to give much space to sides with better players.
But I don't think we're overly aggressive. Even our red-card offences tend to be misjudgements rather than the cynical stuff we saw against Dunk at Millwall.
That was my first thought too. The opposition seem to have the ball more than us so we're tackling more frequently. The more you tackle, the more likely you are to foul.We defend a lot more than most teams

Agree with the first part (and largely 'number of fouls committed', is simply a direct correlation with '% of time out of possession').
Can't agree with your second sentence though. 2 of our (4?) reds this season have been for violent conduct (Andone and Duffy)
Duffy leaned forward with his forehead! If he was violent, that Palace player would still be on the floor. As it was he made a meal of it.
Silly yes, violent no.
Weren't we voted dirtiest a few years ago?

There's me thinking this thread was about the city at large.
