6. Newcastle United (Y: 37, R: 4)
Inconsistent Newcastle have struggled to maintain discipline this season and boast the third highest number of red cards in the division. Steven Taylor set the tone after being dismissed on the opening day of the season but the Toon did pick up a valuable draw with Liverpool despite having ten men. Their most costly sending off was Loic Remy’s recent dismissal at Norwich, with the striker’s consequent ban coninciding with Yohan Cabaye’s exit, leaving the Magpies short of confidence and shorn of their two best players for the crucial Tyne-Wear derby and consequent clashes with Chelsea and Spurs.
