Bland, 0% persona tries to say something controversial - usually he is the Fulham of pundits - neutral

Thanks for your opinion Danny, might I mention that every time I hear you summarise a game I appreciate Michael Owen even more zzzzzz

I couldn't give a flying fcuk what Danny Murphy thinks.  Why does he think anyone is interested in what he has to say it's nearly always irrelevant.

That said.  By our current measures we aren't that big.  The potential however is very big.

 Ah the old "big club" debate. I do agree on one thing. Not enough of our fans turn up on match days you can't really argue with that. There was an article in the express last week which showed a league table based on the number of followers on social media (Instagram I think) Newcastle were 8th with 45.000 followers Norwich were 2nd with 66.000 Villa were top with 160.000! Who really knows what makes a big club? Looking at which clubs had their highest attendances for the season  v the Villa would be an interesting one at the end of the season.

Our biggest crowd of the season was usually the visit of Liverpool (even more so than Man Utd) unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Murphy doesn't like us, I get that, but to suggest Leeds always sold out and we didn't is just nonsense. We've obviously upset him somewhere along the line and he's holding a grudge. Personally I think he should go and fuck himself.

We beat Liverpool in the semi final that might have something to do with it.

He's a boring bastard and fishing for bites, saying Leeds are bigger than us is ridiculous. However he does have a point saying VP can be dull. It can be very lifeless, this season has shown that. It's either rocking or silent, there doesn't seem to be any in between. Wolves, Forest, Fulham, Blackburn the atmosphere was dead for most of the game.

The thing is what ground would be anything other than lifeless after the 6 years we just had?

I agree with that, but under Steve Bruce there are signs for optimism. When we played Fulham we had just come off our first away win for 14 months at Reading, and you could hear a pin drop it was that quiet. Maybe it will take time for the fans to really start believing again. I do think we're guilty of always waiting for the players to lift us though, rather than the other way round.

His first game against us at Anfield had less than 35K, later the same season he played at VP in front of 39,372 which was our capacity at the time.

It's like that at most home grounds you go to. Home fans being quiet is not exclusive to us.
