David Moyes 300[LNB]ARSENE WENGER might complain the loudest, but his team are not the most sinned against in the Premier League.[LNB]Intriguingly, it is the Blues who have most reason to carp, after it emerged that Everton have been fouled more than any other top flight side over the last 12 months.[LNB]As a former card-carrying member of the centre backs union, Moyes does not intend to start complaining.[LNB]In fact, he is surprised to learn of the statistic, and instead laments that proper tackling is becoming a dying art.[LNB] 'I just take it as part of the game. We don't want bad tacklers, and if people do that they deserve to get severe bans, they really do,' he says.[LNB]'Look at the game tomorrow - that fixture had one of the biggest ones. Victor Anichebe had a horrendous tackle done on him the last time we played Newcastle.[LNB]'There are tackles which are bad tackles, and there are just ones where you go hard and fair and I don't think anybody would like it any other way.
