Clubs are given disciplinary points throughout the season, with four awarded for a caution; ten given for two bookings or denying a goal-scoring opportunity; and 12 given for more serious offences. Using that point system, we’ve worked out the ‘dirtiest’ teams in the top-flight. Click through the pages to see where the Magpies lie:
