I may have been a bit too quick to condemn Arsene Wenger's sense of martyrdom as there are some numbers that bolster his perception that Arsenal does get the business end of the stick far too many times. Arsenal gets booked the most per foul committed. The discrepancy compared to other teams is truly astonishing.
For the numbers go to goodplaya and type in 'astonishing figures' in the search bar.
Hat tip to Sandrahn!

wow, appreciate very much the recognition!
that's why numbers never lie...
On the other side of the coin: how many fouls do Arsenal's opponents have to commit on average before they get booked? In some games this season it has seemed to be approaching infinity!!
