Danny Murphy is a .........

Attendances at home to Liverpool during his time with them. Someone is telling porkies aren't they Danny "but I never played at a full Villa (Park)" Murphy.

To be fair, he didn't play at a full Villa Park when he was jobbing for shit clubs like Blackburn and Fulham, with their own shit followings turning up in a minibus, long after the bugger clubs realised he wasn't much of a player.

You made an arse of yourself with that comment

I really took offense at your reply for a good few seconds before I spotted it!

Lol

A few years back I'd get really worked up about this.

Now I think, yeah, there's probably some truth in that.

My thoughts as well.

[Matt Collins]

Me too. Though don't think it was so true when he was a younger player

Of course it would be a good response to get a good turnout and great atmosphere today. Though chilly autumn days against low key opposition  sometimes don't make for that at Villa park

Well I always thought he was one of the better pundits on the BBC and everyone is entitled to an opinion but this seems to me more of a grudge. Slightly strange comments regarding atmosphere and attendances during his Liverpool days. I get the feeling he just doesn't like us. Who cares though, really?

[Gregorys Boy]

I think he has a point about us at Villa Park in the sense that traditionally we have had better form away from home and a lot of teams do enjoy playing at VP.  Often if we don't get ahead after 25-30 mins or are struggling to kill a game off then the atmosphere gets a bit edgy.  But I think to question us as a big club because of that is over the top. I still love VP as a ground and on the right night/day and for the right match then you still get a cracking atmosphere there. 

I'm pretty sure when he played there for Liverpool than it would have been pretty close to being full.  Even over the last 5-6 years we have avenged about 35'000 for home games.  For a struggling side that sounds good to me.

Good response from Bruce today after the game regarding Murphys comments.

He looks like Brain off Pinky and the Brain.

Also, his mom smells of shit

Thanks for making me laugh.

I have new decking machine and can't copy the thing, old git that I am, but said that if Villa Park is a dull ground, he has been to many VERY dull grounds.

[kippaxvilla2]

He is on MOTD tonight.  I really have had to have my swan vestas to hand to keep myself awake.

nice one,

poor little boy lost, whats the matter with him, did we reject him or something. oh well I'm over it.

Rather ironic that the MOTD commentator at Anfield reffered to the muted atmosphere a number of times and  they showed Klopp, looking rather angry, urging the crowd to make more noise.

I was listening to talk sport when he said this stuff (yes I'm one of the very few on here who admit to listening to TS)
I didn't agree with his comments but they were all very throw away and he wasn't being particularly disrespectful I didn't feel,
he obviously hasn't got a soft spot for VP as a number of other players have that have played there,

I still think he's a decent pundit

Like all the other pundits I'm afraid, easy money for trotting out the same old irritating cliques to cover every eventuality No need for any of them to turn up at all really, just cut and paste (insert here) - getting his shot off, ran the show, not closing down, ...zzzzzzzzzzz
