The website used a points system to rate clubs for transgressions on the pitch since the start of the Premier League in 1992. Everton are one of only six teams to have contested every season of the Premier League along with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. They also have more yellow cards (2.02) and fouls per game (14.28) than any other team. Blackburn Rovers' 1998-99 season was the dirtiest in Premier League history as they racked up eight red cards and 80 yellow cards with 725 fouls while Coventry City had the cleanest campaign in 1993-94 with only 12 yellow cards. The study also revealed that the overall number of fouls have fallen since the league began and last season saw the fewest dismissals since 1993-94.
