TK you miserable cunt what have you got against Murphy?

 

Or is it your pathetic revenge attempt for me disagreeing with you about your attitude towards people who disagree with you. 

 

Worse than fucking code you are. 

 

It's odd seeing as he is a similar player to Leiva except Leiva is not as good as him.

TK is ace, he's an OG.

 

As for Murphy, this should be filed in the 'getting older' thread, fucking hell. Thought he looked a player when we bought him and he had a cracking touch, don't know why it never quite panned out, lack of pace and stamina maybe.

Lack of pace and maybe general fitness level yes. More important I think was lack of consistency, and the mental strength to deliver good performances every week. Also his decision making was quite bad, kept giving the ball away in the wrong positions.

He was a decent enough fotballer on his day, but very far from a top player.

I think he's a boring and bitter twat with his tongue up Alan Brazil's arse.

 

The other day he was going on about how Klopp had misinterpreted Fat Sam's little rant earlier in the season.

 

I can't stand him.

Used to like him when he was with us, especially his goals at old Trafford. Was never great like.

 

Started his punditry career quite well, but had slowly slipped into drivelsville, swapping inane and inaccurate comments on football clips with lawrenson, pat Murphy and all the whoppers at talksport.

Didnt he smoke too?

Which is a problem for a player who was already short of pace and general match fitness.

Can imagine though being pretty young with all the time in the world and loads of money it's an easy thing to do.

On a massively smaller scale during lockdown I'd been made redundant. Had money in the bank and nothing to do and I was hammering the ale.

Strange character. Bitterness seems to well up inside of him on a regular basis. Resented Rafa. Resented Hodgson not being loved by LFC fans. Then seemed to resent the backlash against him. 

I think the Rafa thing was because he knew he'd sell him before he ever played for him.

 

And Hodgson gave him a decent twilight to his career at Fulham. Somehow managed to stave off relegation, and played in a European final were it took Forlan at his absolute peak to beat them in extra time.

 

He's a bit of a helmet as a pundit, but he knows he had the greatest days of his career at the club he's worshipped all his life.

The first few years after retirement must be extremely tough mentally for any footballer who isn’t fast-tracked into a management job or other profession.

 

Over the hill at 33 or 34, with no experience of life outside football.

he's talked about the rafa thing just recently. he blames himself now for not fighting for his place and says rafa was right. but he said at the time he hated rafa.

Can’t stand the miserable cunt. One of the worst ‘pundits’ in a sea of shite pundits. Really really really gets on my fucking tits. 

When I read the story I reacted in the traditional Danny Murphy co-commentary style.

 

“Yep”

Good on him for speaking up about it.


Yep. Still can’t stand his punditry though. Up there with Lawro as shittest ex-Red pundit. Actually and Nicol to that shelf.
