Personally I wondered if he was still being paid by Everton, and Dyche told him to throw the game (and injured one of our best players before next week.)

Wasn't the most shocking compared to the 1s above but, it could of been had Mitoma's leg snapped!

The Britos tackle on Knockaert at Watford away in our first PL season was on a par with today's effort.

Andone’s effort is one of the worst I’ve seen an Albion player do. Or Dean Hammond with a two footed lunge at a League One away game when he was trying to force a move away. He was walking down the tunnel before the card was even shown - completely unprofessional.
Knockaert did a really stupid one at the Amex. Dunk on Billy Sharp was pretty awful IIRC.

not one of the all-timers but andone’s against southampton was a shocker. or knocky against bournemouth in that infamous 0-5. even remember murray putting his head in his hands the second knocky made that tackle
So was Knockaert’s on that Everton player.

Ben Thatcher’s was a cowardly disgrace, on a gentle and skilled player. Got a long ban and did Thatcher’s career never truly recover?
The most vile was sewer rat El Hadji Diouf unloading spit on Arjan de Zeeuw. I won’t watch that again.

Nah - that was much lower. Right in front of me.
He’d got the ball smack on the beak seconds earlier, and was really riled.

I have always thought Holgate was dumb thug. This is one of the most stupid tackles I have ever seen. Mitoma is so luckily his leg wasn’t planted. The way his knee punches out to the side shows the impact. If the studs were in the turf that could really have been a career ender and IMO the FA need to review this and put a few more games on the ban.
Mitoma’s knee would have been snapped if his foot had been planted…….horrific, reckless challenge.

This made me laugh from the Sheffield Utd forum;
‘Been speaking to wilder, he's reviewed the incident and if you play the clip of the tackle backwards Holgate is actually helping him back up.... How can that be a sending off!!
It's conspiracy against blades ... premier league corrupt as f***
Also the entire refereeing team were having a full picnic (with f***ing scotch eggs) when he went in to confront them about cheating us out of the game ..... Bastards’
