3) Newcastle United – 89 Red Cards
It’s actually surprising to see the Magpies so high up on this list, especially considering the fact that they have spent a few years outside of the top flight. Under Kevin Keegan, they were a cavalier, pedal to the metal attacking force but that philosophy has seeped away over the past two decades.
Managers such as Alan Pardew, Rafa Benitez and Steve Bruce played more conservatively and it seems they are generally more likely to put in a strong challenge than other teams.
