Just looked at the fair play league and whilst we are at the top, look who is at the bottom, hope they dont inflict any injuries through their obviously dirty play this weekend. They have exactly twice as many yellow and twice as many red cards as us so far. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/fairp...
