As I have said on another thread sometime ago Murphy is an example of an average footballer who did well to reach the top division.Doesnt have the highest level of education which is obvious when you hear him on the BBC but they employ him for the simple reason that he has played for a club like Liverpool who won a few things.If he had spent most of his career at Fulham and Crewe he would be unheard of in the media.

Interesting the match he recalls is the one he scored in, after a slip by Samuel if I recall rather than any amount of limited skill.

We haven't been a big club for years - fair point but we're on the up right now.

Either he's looking to stir stuff up or like a previous poster said holds a grudge probably denying Gerrard his media-induced 'dream final'.

Just googled him, his financial adviser must be a villa fan.

I went to a talk by an ex PL referee who is now on the professional assessment panel. On match day they go into the BBC studio to watch the live feed. The MOTD team are next door and at times pop in to ask the refs for clarification. All except Danny Murphy who already knows it all.

It's pantomime season....Danny Murphy (who???) as the puppet Pinocchio with Micky Quinn (fat b-stard) as Geppetto. We can see you pulling those strings!

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.

What I will say is considering they don't think we're big or relevant any more, they sure do talk about us a lot. That prat Micky Quinn is always mouthing off about us, Murphy now, other fans always biting and digging about us on Twitter, Albion's official account's first thought after beating Burnley was about...Villa.

We've obviously fallen behind the likes of Man City and Chelsea who most people would say that historically and traditionally we're bigger than. Everton are the same, although they haven't fallen as far as us. Both potentially massive clubs but we've been left behind and overtaken by clubs like Man City, thanks to their investment and new pulling power to attract top players. A lot of it is down to circumstance, if we'd been taken over by Man City's owners we could now be playing in front of 50k+ in the Champions League and be one of the biggest clubs in the country. If they'd been taken over by Lerner they could be where we are now. Not too long ago they were losing 8-1 to Boro!

I also remember him complaining about us not giving Petrov a playing contract in the summer. Apparently we should have given him a contract "based on sentiment". I think those were more or less his exact words.
The man is a clown.

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.
Couldn't of put it better myself lol.

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.
Boom!

Footballers are mostly idiots and who care what he think and his word is not final just because he play for Liverpool/Spurs. I am more interested in 95% current/ex villa players or players with great respect for the club. I would rather listen to Robbie Savage than this idiot ;)

Former England international reduced to eking out a living as a Robbie Savage tribute act. Sad. Can somebody out of charity give him a proper job?

Some of you are being a bit harsh. Any second rate ex-footballer, untrained in journalism, that prostitutes himself around all available media platforms to earn as many shillings as he can, pontificating on the shortcomings of a player making a bad pass, missing a goal chance or mistiming a tackle all with the benefit of millions of pounds worth of cutting edge digital equipment, that based on his business decisions is obviously thick as pig shit, is entitled to his opinion.

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.

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

We need drums and an eagle and music after the goals and clappy-hand things and... Oh just f*** off you dull little man

I wonder how many footballers pundit are actually trained in journalism and qualified for the job.
