[AV82EC]

A green room at last, it's the least Pat Murphy deserves.

Hasn’t Pat retired?

I haven't heard him slagging the Villa off in a while so assume so.

Hasn’t Pat retired?

He has but does a bit every now and again with local teams on 5Live.

Also provides enlightening forewords to local esteemed authors.

Announced his retirement from BBC Radio 5 in Nov 2025.

Wonder if he'll be able to resist slagging us off?

I wish he did pressers still. One o the few broadcast journalists capable of asking searching questions and not the same spoon-fed shite 90% engage in.

Did he have an "exchange" with Nigel Pearson once?
Something about an Ostrich if I recall!

The thing with Pat was that he didn't really have to pussyfoot round the media directors and managers because his job didn't depend on it. He wouldn't be overly fussed about being banned from Old Trafford or wherever because football wasn't his main sport and he could easily spend much of the season touring with the England cricket team.

I remember him allowing Paul Lambert to tie himself up in knots live on 5Live after we had lost a game at home. It was about the time Lambert banned Mat Kendrick from Bodymoor.

I recall Pat doing a very sympathetic interview with Remy Garde, as it became apparent he had been completely stitched up by the club during the January 2016 transfer window.

He’s just a proper journalist who asks difficult questions. Lots of managers hate that.
