I had to laugh, the other Monday, I had TALKSPORT on driving to see my parents and they were doing a section of the show called "the Murphy Masterclass" where he talked about his tactical knowledge of the game!!!He is a total dick - when Gerard was not offered a new contract at Liverpool, he said it was a disgrace, and they should give him a new deal on £140,000 per week - he seems to think that football clubs are charities.
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.
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.

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