With the distance he can head the ball, I've always assumed he has a metal forehead. So I agree if he was being violent and he really nutted him, I think he would be dead. No one would be able to get up from that level of impact.

Top of the league!!!
We're top because we commit more fouls than we get fouled (as a ratio)?
Then we just need to let other teams foul us more, but that is tough when we don't have much possession.
So, as with all statistics, it's somewhat skewed?

So according to those stats, if we play you in the final it's going to be the dirtiest final since 1970

Nothing wrong in fouling in you do it in the right circumstances and areas on the pitch.
We seem to be good at avoiding fouling just outside the box in central positions, with most fouls coming in midfield or challenging for forward balls, and then out wide from the full backs.
All this does is stop other teams breaking on us, to allow our solid two banks to defend the area.

Who was the player who recently properly headbutted another player and yet was only shown a yellow card by the ref?
Someone for Liverpool, maybe?

He deserved to be red carded for not knowing how to headbutt someone properly.

If you took out the fouls that Kevin Friend gave Liverpool, we would be nowhere near the top.

Surely the stats simply show that we get more than our fair share of incompetent referees!

I think Murray is a double whammy, he does a lot of fouls but he also receives a lot of knocks/kicks which are not given which are given for other players.
Also notice comment about Duffy sending off, saw similar on MOTD the week before and player was just booked....

Because most fouls against us are ignored, right ref.

Murray offside 28 times, 3rd in that league.
