Pretty cool stats. This'll come in really handy for when i need to shut some scouser fans up.

Wow, 8 players sent off against Liverpool !

Interesting read RTID, the facts don't lie.

Still can't believe we have had 5 players sent off this season, usually our disciplinary record is quite but 5 players sent off is poor.
