Having an English captain helps I think.

Also Apart from Thiago, who can be a bit dodgy at times with tackles, 😀 I think we get less yellow cards than most..
I know I’m biased but generally feel we don’t play dirty ..

We 100% dont play dirty, Milner being a bit of a cunt at times sure, other than that our players don’t really go looking to leave 1 on players.

 

[Judge Jules]

I'm pretty sure it's been 5 or 6 years since anyone else won the Fair Play League. I'd swap it for league titles, mind you.

Just how is this bias calculated? From admissions from the refs? It's fucking retarded.

Methodology and Limitations

For this study, we gathered game data from the five largest leagues in European football (English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1) from the last 10 years using the FootyStats API. As a result, we acquired match data for 18,227 matches. We filtered out matches for which card data and referee name wasn’t reported, leaving us with 9,960 matches. For each match, we recorded the home and away clubs, the number of yellow and red cards given to both clubs, and the referee in charge of the match. Using this information, we were able to analyse referee behaviour individually, toward each club, and against each club.
No statistical testing was performed, so the claims listed above are based on means alone. As such, this content is exploratory and is presented for informational purposes only. The API pull took place during August 2021.

This doesn’t indicate bias.

Militating in our favor, kind of, by extension. Alisson gets 2 reds in one game, not sent off.
