What an arbitrary way to decide the supposedly "dirtiest player". Just using the number of fouls they had given against them, whether correct decisions or not. Or trivial fouls that aren't "dirty" like the numerous ones per season given when a corner is taken. Not fouls per minute played, number of cards for serious foul play, number of opposition players injured etc.
Optimistic as ever |

It really is the silly season! BTW when are the 18/19 fixtures announced?

Certainly not the dirtiest player. Maybe the toughest player? Yellow & red cards label the dirty players.

Luka likes to get stuck in but my Player of the Season. Masterstroke by Sam to get him in and a real bargain. Wilf had a cracker of a season, JT at the back also deserves credit but Luka was solid all the way through. Taken up the mantle from Jedi (who also liked to get involved) with aplomb and will be a Palace legend like him as well.
